Happened to me too. Amazon has replacements for like $4-$8, just look up your phone model and camera glass replacement. And make sure to get one with the adhesive.

Edit: It looks like you have an S8 so I found these quick. Both have prime, the first comes with some tools and is $8, the second is just the glass/adhesive for $7

I'll assume that ball is 10cm diameter, so its
radius=5cm
volume=524 cm^3
a penny is 3% copper (density 8,96 g/cm^3 ) and 97% zinc (density 7,14 g/cm^3 )
so total weight is 524cm^3 * (8,96 g/cm^3 * 3% + 7,14 g/cm^3 * 97%) = 3770g

(it has to be less than that ofc because that ball is not homogeneous)

EDIT: /u/s1th_lord and others asked about the tape. This pack of 32 1200in rolls of tape totals 30480in = 975.36m and weighs 1.63lb = 740g. I'll assume there are 100g of spool etc so 640g of "pure" tape.

It seems OP used tape over every coin, and a penny is 19,05mm diameter, so 1000 pennies = 19,05m of tape.

The weight of tape used then = 19,05m * 640 g / 975.36m = 12 grams.

Yep. Here are the odds:

• BROWN: Mediterranean Ave, odds 1 in 30 million

• LIGHT BLUE: Vermont Ave, odds 1 in 40 million

• PINK: Virginia Ave, odds 1 in 200 million

• ORANGE: Tennessee Ave, odds 1 in 602 million

• RED: Kentucky Ave, odds 1 in 15 million

• YELLOW: Ventnor Ave, odds 1 in 300 million

• GREEN: Pennsylvania Ave, odds 1 in 40 million

• BLUE: Boardwalk, 1 in 602 million

• RAILROADS: Short Line railroad, 1 in 150 million

If you're on Android, do check out Metal for Facebook. It's a very decent Facebook replacement app that provides a more privacy-secure FB experience and re-integrates some of those off-loaded features, like Messenger.

It also happens to have Twitter support, if you're a Twitter user.

Not that it excuses the practice, but I found this which might help you disable them, if you don't outright disconnect (which I might, just because I wouldn't trust them not to spy on me).

Apparently this has been going on for a few years. I have a Panasonic Viera I purchased in 2009, so it's not a smart TV, but if this shit keeps up, there's no way I'd ever buy another one. Farking dumb, greedy ass bullshit.

Truthfully, if he could smell it before he grabbed it, he would probably avoid it, but so would you. If you want to get him good, get capsicum essential oils or pepper extract and a spray nozzle to fine mist the pages. Old man is having his coffee and cigarette while reading the newspaper. Rubs face and morning eyes. Minutes later... gut wrenching screams of terror like a little girl comes from his building Bwahahaha.

If you do go the sleep mask route, get a quality one that has divots for your eyes so your eye lashes aren’t smashing into the mask all night. They also have some with Bluetooth speakers in them that are good for drowning out snoring and other noises.

This one has pretty flat headphones so you don’t really feel them if you’re a side sleeper. I can’t sleep if there is a spot of light in the room and this mask turns noon into midnight.

You are definitely correct, it's the same mold, and for some reason they painted the seeds.

Here is the watermelon version on Amazon.

If you look at the picture of the watermelon version, the seeds line up with your picture.

I stopped pirating because I could stop paying for 50 channel cable packages and get everything in one place for one fee. I sucked it up and also got hulu, but now we're creeping up to the old model again. I'm not paying no $50 a month for all this shit. If they're not careful, they're going to turn internet video right back into an analog of cable, and that's going to make a bunch of people like me opt out again for the same reason we did before. And who gets the $10/mo then? That's right, NordVPN.

There are these hard plastic things "page lifters" that usually come with large binders like this that are intended to be left on the ends to force the pages or folders to move over when closed in order to prevent this from happening.

I mean there's a lot of bad habits you need to unlearn in the kitchen. This is just one of them. Towels are also pretty easy to accidentally leave a gap in when you're wrapping it around something, which is also a good way to get burned.

Personally I'd recommend a combination potholder/oven mitt like this for when you want to grab something quickly without bothering with the whole oven mitt.

I buy these Might not be as high quality as Columbia. But they’re cheap and I think they work as advertised.

It has "captcha" feature for alarms. I use the one that requires me to get up and scan a QR code somewhere in the house, but that's not the only option.

People used to think, and some still do, that Reddit is a secret club that no one knows about. But these days it is the 24th most popular website worldwide, 7th in the us. Source.

It's not straight orange, it's orange dreamsicle, sometimes known as orange cream or orange creamsicle. It's not really like the fruit or the artificial fruit flavor. It's a creamier mix between vanilla and orange, and it's an extremely popular flavor for hundreds of products, not just ice cream. It was popularized from an age old ice cream treat of vanilla ice cream wrapped in an orange sherbet coating.

I actually find it weird you've never heard of it or seen it. It's an incredibly popular and widely used flavor in a bunch of candies, sweets, and treats. There's even orange creamsicle soda!

This happened to me on wifi in my apartment, and I was about to call my ISP and flip a shit because I pay for higher tier. I plugged into LAN and it went away.

One thing that helps a lot is going to 802.11n or 802.11ac and using 5GHz isntead of 2.4GHz. Especially in an apartment with lots of thin walls and adjacent units where RF pollution is really high around 2.4GHz - microwaves, bluetooth devices, etc.

EDIT: Not to mention the high amount of wireless routers! (duh) The amount of non-interfering channels is less than the number of wifi routers and everyone is broadcasting really strong signals. Sometimes if you look you can see where everyone else is at and find that no-one is on 1,6, or 11 (why) then you can change your channel and that might help.

More websites these days think they can catch me with this shit, well they are wrong.

Those often will be rejected by the iphone. I have owned 2 different adapters like that from different sources and both have been rejected by both my wife's and my iphone after about 10 minutes of use. Iphone hates non apple cords.

The solution i have used and works best for me is a Bluetooth Reciever from Amazon. They let me charge my phone and listen to my audiobooks and dont run the risk of the connection error issue.

It was this stuff, sold on the discount shelf of a local mom-and-pop shop about five years ago. I've had a lot of issues with that place, though, and now only buy canned goods from them, so I wouldn't blame the brand.

Edit: I honestly thought it was pepper until I scooped some up and saw the little legs. It was pretty surreal.

It's not that bad actually. The article examines the Royal family's finger sizes through the lense of the research conducted by a biologist, who claims that finger length is determined by hormone exposure in-womb. The hormones that determine finger size also play a huge role in the kind of personality a person develops.

It's for sure a slow news day piece, but the Daily Mail has done far worse.

Yeah, everything metal rusts in showers. I installed Teak (THESE) into my shower corners after spending 20 years dicking around with metal products that I had to replace every couple years.. $40 each for 3, galvanized screws to install them with caulk to keep water out of the backs. Expensive and time consuming? Sure. Last forever? Also sure. Four years later the 3 look brand new still with regular cleaning as I clean the shower.

In the US, on most vehicles, it takes removing one bolt usually called a hitch pin and takes about two seconds to take off. Seeing as the one in the OP can easily cost $200+ he either has a locking pin that needs a key, or he just wants his shit stolen.

LPT: get a 12 pack of cheap microfiber towels from Amazon. They are big, but they work soooo well at cleaning glasses. Without any kind of water or solution, they will get all the oil off with just a wipe or two. I've since had LASIK, which I also recommend, but buy those microfiber towels. Not the thin ones you get with your glasses. Get the big fluffy ones and keep one at work, in your car, in your bag, at home. If you're as obsessive about keeping your glasses perfectly clean as I was, they'll be a godsend.

I'm talking about these: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloth-24-Pack/dp/B009FUF6DM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520758399&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=microfiber+towels

Have you tried using a file manager, eg Amaze or File Explorer to delete/manage your files?

As well as that, have you considered rooting? The Samsung Galaxy line has a huge consumer base which correlates to the amount of attention they get on XDA, meaning there's probably a really easy way for you to obtain root access.

That'll let you do whatever you want, delete crappy apps, add an adblocker, have the last say on permission granting, and more.

Shoutout to Search Everything, an alternative to Windows Search. Only 1000x better. Searching for a translated version of a Windows app won't give you any results though. In order to find 'Kladblok' with Search Everything I have to search for Notepad but I guess that sort of makes sense.

$40 a year for Private Internet Access. That's $3.33 a month. I've never had speed issues with them, but they have a "Slow Speed Complaint" option so you can bring their attention to slow speeds and they can fix it.

Even better, they've proven they don't keep logs. Investigators issued a warrant to get information about a user, but they couldn't provide it because they didn't have it. The argument that cheap VPNs suck has become invalid in the past few years, as long as you use the right VPN.

I use I can't wake up. It's similar and has lots of options. (I'm not affiliated, this app just cured my snooze habit 100%.)

Spotify has ~1.9 million users (paying).

5% of 1.9 million is 95,000

$.03 x 61.75GB = $1.8525

Of course, the receiving e-mail service doesn't have to honor SPF rules, but the screenshot from OP is a screenshot of Inbox, one of Google's apps for receiving Gmail (or G Suite) e-mail, which means that they are honoring SPF.

Wrong. The changelog in Google's Play Store for Android shows the exact same thing, and they do not have as stringent a review process (if any).

This has nothing to do with Apple or Google. It has to do with lazy developers.

Here’s the Amazon listing. On the mobile site, it says “Product packaging: Standard Packaging” and “This item’s packaging may indicate what is inside and cannot be hidden.” There is a checkbox for “This is a gift” with a “Learn more?” Option which brings up the following :

“Include a packing slip so the recipient knows who it's from. Hide prices on the packing slip. Add optional gift wrap. Include a personalized gift message. Keep the gift a surprise by concealing items that ship in only the manufacturer's original box”

When ordering from the Amazon app, there is a prominent box that says “Ship in an Amazon box”.

Reminds me of our local Walmart that has the "enter" door on the left and the "exit" door on the right. It's pretty much a free-for-all with people randomly using both doors. The Design of Everyday Things should be required reading for people who make this stuff.

Set the "Volume to set when headphone jack is plugged:" to a little above that threshold where it gives you that warning.

Now when you plug in your headphones or in most people's cases an auxiliary cable for your car, it will throw that message right away. It will not throw the message again until you reboot your phone.

This is not a perfect solution but it does at least get rid of the warning from happening when you are in the middle of driving or something and want to just turn up the volume a little.

Right? I wanted to share a more recent example I came across yesterday that takes it to another level. Crest has these whitening strip kits that come with a mouth guard-shaped blue light. Why is this weird? Because these blue light devices are designed to only be used ten times, for five minutes each time. The batteries inside might last longer, or be designed to be replaceable, but instead they want you to buy another each time.

Also, there is no research that supports these blue LED lights, or the ones used by dentists, actually do anything. So what’s the point of them? Literally just to make you pay more “for an experience.”

Usually, if you don't have access to tools or anything, you can just wash the glasses in the sink under warm water and using a Microfiber cloth on the whole frame and lenses.

Don't use a paper towel, shirt, toilet paper, shower towel, dish cloth or anything like that to clean your glasses. They will scratch your lenses and frame.

You can do it just like This

Be careful around the lenses if you're using a Q-Tip to clean the harder to reach spots as sometimes you'll leave micro particles on the lens and you'd just be swirling around the particles on the lens and might accidentally scratch your lens.

You could always pick up a set like This from Amazon but usually Wal-Mart or a store like that carries something along those lines.

Or. You could always ask your nearest eyecare provider for a cloth and some lens cleaner.

TL;DR: It's safe to clean your glasses in warm water with some soap with a microfiber cloth in the sink. Just make sure there aren't a lot of particles on the cloth or lens before drying.

This is Photo Editor Pro, the culprit.

This is Photo Editor, which is a bloatware free, no bullshit, feature packed editor that I personally believe to be hands down the best photo editor on the Play Store and the true Photoshop of Android.

(Note how Photo Editor Pro has "run at startup" and "send sticky broadcast" and has NOT implemented runtime permissions, all things that are easy tipoffs of a likely malicious photo editing app. That kind of shit drives me fucking nuts.)

Having looked up that kind of boomerang on Amazon they are literally supposed to be bendable. They have instructions for tuning the flight by bending and straightening them in different ways. OPs being a dumbass.

I looked online and the manufacturer seems to be Serta. You can see the same design on the armrest in the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AVUQQES

Title says bonded leather but product description says faux leather. At this point I'm really not sure.

As another redditor pointed out, bonded leather can contain PU as a binding agent which goes back to my original point of not being a very durable material to begin with.

If you are wondering how to tell what kind of leather it is in picture, there's no 100% way of knowing without doing a lab test. But if you're looking for a new furniture then product descriptions or sales people should help figure out what the materials are.

Microsoft Security essentials hasn't been recommended for like two years. It's gone down the drain

Edit: For those disagreeing with me, Microsoft itself advises people to not use MSE and to use a third party anti-virus program

>In an interview with Dennis Protection Labs, Holly Stewart, the senior program manager of the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, said that Microsoft Security Essentials was just a “baseline” that’s designed to “always be on the bottom” of antivirus tests. She said Microsoft sees MSE as a first layer of protection and advises Windows users to use a third-party antivirus instead.

If only Chinese ~~homeopathy~~ required incredibly small amounts of stuff. Maybe then they'd stop having to torture thousands of threatened animals so bad that they struggle from keeping them from committing suicide.

I'd actually recommend you get Nova Launcher, it allows you to rename apps, but you can also change the icon, install icon packs, change the layout of your home screen including how many rows and columns of apps you have. You can eventually do stuff like this where each of those icons are actually folders. Mine is a little cluttered because I like it like this, but you can do pretty much anything you want.

Plus Nova is quicker than the default touchwiz on Samsung phones.

This has been in my Amazon saved for later for at least 5 or 6 years, and was $18 when I added it. Currently costs $10 USD = £8.2 GBP. Has at least that much regifting value.

I highly recommend installing a custom app launcher that lets you change icons when the app makers are idiots. Nova Launcher is what I use and I love it, but there's other good ones out there too.

Bonus points if you add an icon pack. I bought Alos a few years ago and have never regretted it -- it has almost all my apps and looks beautiful. When it doesn't have an icon for a particular app, the auto-generated icon often looks fine, or you can borrow the icon from another app (e.g. they didn't have an icon for the app I use for soccer scores, but I found a soccer ball icon from another app and used that instead).

If you come from a google search result it's still the case. Google doesn't index answers that are behind a paywall, so sites with paywalls serve a special page to google with all the content.

It's darkness, then I see a light- small at first, like a train at the end of a tunnel, than the light gets brighter, and i hear a voice get louder! Is this god? Is this the afterlife? Will I be brought into heaven with all the loving members of my family that ever was and ever will be? Will I live a live that is nothing but pure bliss and happiness at every corner? As the light gets closer... I see.... I hear... The voice ... It's-"

I suddenly go into violent cardiac arrest as my body squirms rigorously off the hospital bed, machines are blaring, doctors are rushing in, family is freaking out. I die a slow, very painful death.

It's now time for my burial. All my family is dressed in black, my casket is about to be lowered... But before my eulogy can be carried out, my pastor starts off with "This funeral is sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends-"

Oh, I could write a whole book! In fact, a few other librarians already have... this one is probably my favorite, and they also have an online blog.

I started my career in San Francisco, where as you can imagine, I saw my share of interesting individuals. But even in the wealthy suburb where I work now, there is no shortage of oddballs. Or as I call them, “our usual cast of characters.” You know the veggie chopping man? I’ve also had to ask him to stop scraping his foot calluses on our carpets. ��

I recommend Don Norman's book The Design of Everyday Things. Really opened my eyes to how much terrible design is all around us.

There are quite a few places that do it. E.g. 7digital, Juno Download, Beatport, Qobuz, Tidal Store.

Edit: Found this very album in FLAC for £6.99 on 7digital here and £6.88 on Qobuz here

I take it back, that's pretty clearly a Ring stickup camera with a battery on the bottom.

I have friends who swear by Chub Rub for this purpose! Amazon

I don't see anyone making this point here, but if his insurance is expecting him to pay that much then they're in violation of the ACA, which sets the maximum out-of-pocket for an individual at $6850

Tell your father in law not to pay that shit.

Having both Ghostery and uBlock Origin installed at the same time will do you more harm than good as it's easier to identify you using your browser's unique fingerprint. Also uBlock Origin does all the stuff Ghostery does but better while at the same time being less memory intensive.

uMatrix (same developer behind uBlock Origin) can be used to give you full control over what a website is allowed to load or show you. It blocks scripts running in the background, flash, iframes and so on.

Hey my dude, are there cameras there/will they care?

Because $15 will get you a 50 pack of 6" x 9" window stickers that are annoying as hell to remove. And wouldn't it just be a shame if they got four or five of those bad Larry's on their windshield....couple on each window.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KR1X3W7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_w-P5DbCMCAZKV

Hilarious! Here's the product: https://www.amazon.com/PetSafe-Deterrent-Activated-Repellent-Environmentally/dp/B0721735K9

Motion Pro 08-0183 Valve Core Remover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KO84I0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gHdHCbBG215TH

Remove the valve stem cores. No permanent damage, but extremely annoying to deal with.

I moved from Tinfoil to Metal after some recent issues. You may want to take a look into it. I believe there were some... uh... issues with Tinfoil, though it's been a while.
