GOSH is a fantastic hospital, they deserve it.

Not everyone has the funds for this to be an option.

Reply to Does living in an airplane flight path, near an airport, pose a health risk? What happens to the lead from the jets fuel? by [deleted]
Only piston engines use AvGas, which contains lead but it's specifically Low Lead. They're slowy moving towards unleaded fuel but in aviation nothing moves fast. The risks are negligible compared to leaded fuel in cars.

The previous owner of my car (only one previous owner) must have had a ring because there’s a worn spot on the inner edge steering wheel exactly where my own ring sits. It’s a weird connection to someone I’ve never met.

Considering how much effort it takes just to go to the bathroom and the fact they're all living in what is basically a small box for months at a time I imagine they put an enormous amount of research into providing a diet that produces as little gas as possible whilst limiting the number of times they have to go take a shit.
I'm sure personal hygiene is also very high on the list, especially since you can't take a shower every day. Even so, I bet the ISS absolutely stinks most of the time.

Reply to comment by KoastPhire in TIL about the TwitterPeek, a Twitter-only mobile device introduced in 2009 that allowed users to send and receive tweets...and nothing else by wilymon
It's 2009, still within what DankPods has termed the "nugget era". Technology companies were throwing all kinds of junk "e-devices" out into the world to see what would stick. Then smart phones came along and it pretty much ended this era overnight, that's why it failed because it was a single purpose device that didn't even do that well and even the cheapest smart phone or tablet on the market already had a Twitter app.

Reply to Why did our school wanted us to install this? Can somebody explain what is the purpose? by 8046Ile
Your school is most likely using SSL Decryption to intercept either all (bad implementation) or some https sites. The most common reason a school would do this is to enforce keyword blocks and you can also do things like force safe search on Google and block GMail from external non school accounts.
Without the certificate you'll get SSL errors on any page they're monitoring.

That's a bummer, but most countries fail on their first try so they shouldn't be discouraged. Hopefully they can figure out what went wrong and find success next time.

Doesn't matter, if it exceeds the rated amount then it's exceeded safety margins.

Whoever made the decision to leave Artemis on the launch pad is going to be answering some awkward questions later.

My Great-Grandma had a wonderful attitude to her dementia when it first started with plenty of self deprecating humor, it made the really difficult years that followed easier to handle.
Your letter also reminded me of the final birthday card I received from my Grandad. Nanna had always taken care of them, but he was determined to continue that after she passed away. He had no idea what to write, so asked my Mum who just said "write what you think is best!". I received a birthday card "Best wishes, [his first name]". His Valentines day cards to my Nanna were always "Yours, forever [his first name]". She thought it was adorable but always laughed about it. He was a farmer, not a man of words but of deeds. He meant the world to me.

I went from a 4S to a 13 (with a bunch of Androids in between). The difference between the two is night and day of course. Back when I had the 4S I felt iOS just wasn't ready yet, it's long since caught up to Android and surpassed it.

Excellent, just set up a profile and make it a bit simpler for her. Recommend you read the manual but it's pretty intuitive.

Reply to My mother keeps messing with her settings by cyril0
If you have a Mac (or access to one) you can use Apple Configurator and make a profile to disable all but the settings she needs, I'm not sure if you can disable the physical switch though (maybe put some tape over it?
There may be other free utilities that work on PC but I've never researched it.

Unlimited photos hasn't been a thing for a while, just pay the $10 a month for 1TB which should be more than enough.
