For mobile, I had a bouncer setup that would keep me up to date whenever someone would message or mention me. I could pull up AndChat and connect right up to all of my channels, I was never actually offline. I had an icon on my taskbar that

It's not footage but that angle of attack is absolutely nuts. I don't think my brain would have been able to process that kind of image out my window if I was a passenger on that plane. https://www.youtube.com/watc

There's literally hippy communes that operate this way. You don't need to be conservative to see the benefit of everyone having a place in society. This sounds a lot like public work programs like the Green New Deal is proposing,

I had no idea that was in there along with all of the other things like a PMT calculator and unit conversion. I would normally switch to the scientific calculator after getting a fresh Windows 7 and never open that menu again.

Right, a normal cell site would use the 10MHz or 1 pulse per second from a GPS receiver to discipline their own oscillators. GPS could go out for a few minutes and everything would still work just fine. Anything past that and it's all

You might be able to use the 1Hz IRIG H code from WWV and WWVB to discipline a crystal oscillator to get a clean 10MHz.

Your phone can do a lot with just the cell towers for navigation. The towers themselves would lose GPS signal but they are stationary, they should be able to pump out location despite the loss of signal. The guy out in the middle of nowhere

You can buy little bluetooth remote controls that strap onto your steering wheel. They don't look great and you have to charge them. The charge thing is really annoying now that many cars turn off the power outlets when the car is off.

I found it easier to just buy a prepaid SIM for travel to Europe. $25 for 12GB, 3000 minutes, 3000 texts, good for 30 days. You get a european number which is definitely handy when needing to call hotels/airlines. Sure, you are limited

The decision between MIT-like licenses and copyleft licenses all depend on the contextual usage of the code. Is it just some quick and dirty script I wrote to convert some obscure binary format to another obscure binary format? I literally

The first part is totally reasonable. If the company wants to change policies and you don't agree to those policies (and are in no way able to change them), why should they let you stay? Why should you let yourself stay? If a new polic
