  • Keep in mind that the cops don’t have to provide you with their reasonable suspicion in order to demand ID. It’s not until court that they have to provide their reasonable suspicion. So they have plenty of time to come up with justification after the fact.

    Also, on the Fifth Amendment I thought I had read somewhere about a case where a man simply remained silent and never once invoked his right and it didn’t end well for him. I cannot remember the details, but for some reason I thought that you still had to invoke the fifth even if you have not yet answered any questions. I’ll have to look back into this later and post back if I find the story.




  • They give you a discount per month. So for example, a $1000 phone is on sale for $600, but they don’t give you $400 off up front. Its a $11.11 per month discount for the next 36 months. You pay $16.67 per month until its paid off. If you pay it up front you pay $1000. If you leave early or pay it off early you lose the $11/month discount on the payment for the phone

    Its intended to lure people in for an advertised cheap or free phone, but then you’re stuck with them paying for the device.


  • Because people finance their phones with AT&T, usually without realizing it. “Free” phones and discounted phones are not usually free or discounted. You’re forced to stay with them to get the discount off each month. I hate it because I’d rather just pay for my phone outright and be done, but then you actually pay more.


  • I prefer to keep my notes as handwritten (I draw a lot of diagrams and graphs in my notes). But it does indeed convert my handwriting to type if I want it to. And it does a great job of it especially with how messy my handwriting can be.

    The feel of it is very comfortable too (feels like writing on paper). I used to use a Surface Book in tablet mode for notes, but wanted to get away from Microsoft. The screen of the Note 3C isn’t smooth, it’s textured like paper

    Their note app takes some getting used to, but it works pretty well (templates are a little tricky, but they just made an update to improve it).

    The only thing I really miss from OneNote on the Surface was printing PDFs into OneNote. That said, you can annotate directly onto PDFs, it just makes things a little less organized unless you use the PDF as a template.

    Did some googling. Found this from a reddit thread but the link they gave is broken so I wasn’t able to confirm. I believe it might be adult content based upon where the broken link redirected.

    Source! is [Miyabi] Watashi no Suki na Oji-san x Ore no Suki na Iede Shoujo Ge

    The OP scene is in ch.3 pg.9, but it’s edited. She actually says, “I want to stay here!”



  • That doesn’t say anything about lethal range. It just says they won’t allow it to be lower than the ISS’s orbit. It could be because of “lethal range” or it could be that they want as little crap in the way of routes to and from the ISS.

    I looked over the article (albeit very quickly) just in case you didn’t quote enough of the article on accident and I didn’t see anything about lethality. I could have missed it or I’m not reading between the lines (maybe missing their meaning in the article).






  • Couple issues with that. One is how to get it to work and be approved by the utility. In many areas something like this is heavily regulated and you might not even be able to do it depending upon State law (assuming you’re in the States).

    Another issue is that in many areas, unless you’re only offsetting the home or business, the excess isn’t profitable. Many utilities pay a fraction of what they charge for any excess put back on the grid.

    That being said, I know some utilities are actually doing this. They’re renting roof space on large commercial and industrial buildings. It’s more profitable for them since they can get full market rate for the energy generated.


  • Makes more sense to do it after if you’re going to do this. Usually after a disaster you have to do something with the roof, electric service equipment, and even the electric utility equipment. These are also things that need to be touched when you’re just simply adding solar. So if there’s going to be aid following a disaster, it makes logistical sense to tack on solar since the overall cost of doing it with everything else should, in theory, cost less.

    Obviously the costs may not be kept lower if there’s a way for contractors to game the system.
