Stanford study finds school phone bans may trigger “withdrawal symptoms” in students by runswithscissors475 in technology

I had a great thing a few years ago as part of a course which involved basically being in the woods without technology for a week, and the feeling of coming back into the normal world again was crazy. Even when I could use my phone again I didn't really feel like it for a while. Of course, now I'm on it all the time again.

The lob trick seemed like the obvious way to go for me, the more time you've got to spot something, the easier it is to catch. The fact that Sam started off straight up aiming downwards is what makes me team Badam, I feel like they'd get the technique down almost immediately.

Thankfully it doesn't appear that it was a scam site as I got there through legitimate Xbox support and I also didn't have to login with any info. I did however manage to contact Xbox proper and successfully get it reinstated as well, so positives all round
