My default hotspot password in iOS 7 right now is "min1bt3456mi" which is improved over what I recall was the default (along the lines of "foobar1234"). Hopefully the actual password generation is improved too.

There's a pretty big profit to be made by buying wholesale/in bulk. My second job is running a restaurant and wholesale prices on items can be ridiculously cheap. Think 12 avocados for $5 right now, one case of 50+ for $10-15... a

http://www.joeydevilla.com/2012/07/05/whoa-meridas-real/ I think the above costume was pretty tastefully "sparkled" up. If you want more, you could add the tiara from the movie or a more jeweled belt. Not even the Queen, mother of Merida

As much as I now want to see the Disney Princesses do that while in their finest dresses... In the movie, she objects to the sparkly dress because it's too confining and isn't anything like what she wants to wear. In the archery scene where

I'm positively sure there are enough "girly girls" among the eleven Disney Princesses (read: ten Princesses) that one tomboy should not be a big deal. The only Princess that comes close to Merida in this regard is probably the one I grew up

I don't think Instacart's fees are anywhere near "usuriously high", only unnecessarily complicated. I would be happier paying something like an upfront $25/delivery for 20 items within 3 hours or similar, no markups and no other cost struct

But you cannot order only a $5 ice cream from Instacart. The minimum you must buy is $10 even with this yearly fee. If that doesn't work for Instacart's profit margins, they should raise prices and minimums across the board. Of course, it's

Even if you have Instacart Express, they enforce a $10 minimum per store you want to order from on top of the delivery fee. Plus this wasn't a service offered to any except the earliest adopters. If they can't profit or deal with the volume
