The Lollipop Update 5.1.1 When the Android Lollipop update came out, it was difficult to tell what good it accomplished. It caused problems connecting to the internet, battery issues, lagging, and video playback issues. It also released some “features” that users are unhappy about.  I’ll get back to that in a …

 I buy almost everything online.  I even get meats and proteins through the mail and I use Amazon Pantry.  It’s my way of coping with being on the road so much. I’ve been eagerly looking forward to Amazon Fresh being released in my area, but there’s a new competitor.  Which …

With all the craziness with Uber in France, I’ve started reflecting on how my travel patterns have begun to change thanks to Uber. For example, when visiting my parents, we’d have drinks in their house so no one would have to be a designated driver.  I’ve found I go out …

Earlier, I posted a video of a priest reacting to seeing the Star Wars trailer for the first time. He also posted a video (after he watched the trailer “a hundred times) dissecting the trailer, the meaning, and hidden messages. He actually did a pretty darn good job.  (I feel …

This specific type of device uses a magnetic field to create the thrust. According to Mysterious Universe, the results of …
