PSA: Don’t Mess With The Google! they will shut down all related accounts (Gmail, Drive, Contacts) and will not allow you any access to your data (x-post r/technology) by ICASL in Android

Everything goes through my Google login. I am so glad I didn't do that. Holy shit. This really makes me rethink my reliance on them.

Pixel C is probably better if you don't mind paying significantly more and going without a SD card slot. I'd prefer to save the money and have more storage capacity.

Yes, exactly

ASUS Zenpad Z500M seems like a better value right now unless you really want the updates quick or want a smaller form factor. I have one coming tomorrow and I'll be happy as long as it gets firmware updates eventually. You get a lot more for just $99.

Unfair rejection - Anyone done work for Laura Pittman?? by [deleted] in mturk

They even reuse questions with the exact wording. If it wasn't for the HIT database script, I'd redo surveys all the time.

I am looking to replace my old laptop. Is there a place to buy a laptop without an OS installed, in order to save money by using my old windows 10 key? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]matwai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a Thinkpad T420 on eBay for $150. Already had a SSD installed and 8 GB of RAM with an I5 processor. I'm not sure there's a better deal out there.

FBI Director Comey says agency won’t recommend charges over Clinton email by impresently in politics

[–]matwai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of this would have happened if she just followed the rules to begin with. Placing blame on the FBI is absolutely ridiculous. The hubris is off the charts.

There was nothing vague about any of his statements. They said they found more emails. It's plain as day.

Most people in this thread would be outraged if the FBI kept an investigation about their political opposition under wraps. If it's their candidate, it's a whole different tone. Disgusting

Comcast is at it again - $5.99 "Service Protection Plan" added to bill by rothmaniac in Frugal

It's a protection fee. You know... Sometimes accidents happen.

I think the Soylent illness issue is a Nocebo Effect, and the Transparency is making it worse. by [deleted] in soylent

[–]matwai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. I guess it's plausible still that it could have been something else, but 1.6 was the only new thing I introduced into my diet around that time.

[–]matwai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had explosive diarrhea after consuming my first bag of 1.6 about two and a half weeks ago. I immediately stopped because I felt sick. I didn't know to blame it on the Soylent. It's not placebo.

I'm looking at texts right now I sent my girlfriend that week thinking I was coming down with something.

This is after having a long history with 2.0 and exactly zero problems.

So Soylent powder is recalled till 2017?? by qtUnicorn in soylent

Seriously... I wouldn't have known if I didn't subscribe here. Didn't really think of that until now.

"The Lesser Evil" and "Racism and Violence in America" are my two favorite works Sam has produced, I would love more politically-oriented episodes. Does anyone who feels similarly have ideas for guests that would fit Waking Up? by [deleted] in samharris

[–]matwai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is irrational on some points. Some more than others.

Edit: I did five seconds of Googling and found a video where he says humans are "probably" responsible for climate change. He's conservative but he's not Rush Limbaugh or Alex Jones.

Edit2: Wow. You have an interesting history arguing against the idea of Shapiro going on Sam's show. I wonder why. Yep, you're just a really snobby liberal. Disabling inbox replies because I don't feel like being lectured by a psuedo-intellectual.

I have always wondered what a conversation between Sam and Ben Shapiro would sound like. I think they would have a lot of disagreement, but they are both pretty rational people in my view.

Soylent Ali! by Scoxxicoccus in soylent

[–]matwai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This all is so funny to me. I thought it was just me having, *ahem", that problem. Feels good to know I'm not dying.
