My name is Matt. I enjoy helping people with technology related issues. I also like adorable animals.
O! had I the ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would, today, pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced.

2·2 months agoLooks interesting - how is the game loop since it’s a rogue-like? Tedious, or does it feel pretty rewarding?
3·2 months agoYup, pretty much all food has lead & other heavy metals in it because the plants we make our food from absorb it.
The safety levels for lead in baby food is 10-20 parts per billion (quick Google search article, didn’t confirm) and is most likely tested more frequently like you indicated.

12·2 months agoI’m not sure they’re really comparable.
That phones 2nd display was: 1040x160 pixels
The main display was: 2560x1440
~4%
The 2nd display also couldn’t display another app, but was limited to:
- Quick Tools (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)
- App shortcuts (specific apps)
- Recent apps
- Quick contacts
- Music controls
- Signature (By default your name)
- Upcoming plans
And didn’t allow inline replies or ‘normal’ notification features (at that time it was Android 7).
The one perk that phone did have was that the 2nd display could be on while the main screen was off.

Did you end up using eBay to buy it or another site? I’ve only seen a few listed, and the prices vary pretty severely.
Bummer about the fingerprint sensor location - but luckily not a huge deal. Overall it seems like a decent enough phone if you want a keyboard.
I have a dollar or two to spare
1·4 months agoDoes it come in red? 😂
Definitely though, might need to look around
Agreed! Not even my favorite color, but it looks so good on a phone.
Yessss. Use a 500 daily

Holy shit, that’s incredible.

Valid point, good clarification!
$70M “vanishes” to print pennies each year as it costs nearly 4¢ to make 1 penny. (Doesn’t actually vanish, some goes to penny maker’s pockets* - see reply below)
Does the president really have the power to stop penny printing?
Maybe.
The president is to execute laws passed by congress. Congress passes vague laws.
One example is what coins to print. However, how many to print is left out, just that it should be “the necessary amount”
So Trump decided that the necessary amount was 0.
However, if Congress disagrees with the interpretation, then it goes to the courts.
The courts will ask if there is a precedent… which for the penny specifically - there isn’t really.
Existing precedent is about rarely used speciality / collector coins which previous presidents used the same method to reduce / eliminate production.
So maybe this will kill the penny, but also maybe not. If it does kill the penny, it could set an interesting precedent for future presidents to kill off anything congress hasn’t been explicit on.
… I hope all my president / precedents are correct lol.
Very nice. Especially like the little waterfalls
