I'm multitasking an online training for security. it say that, for mobile devices, wifi should be turned off when not being used. - b. Apr 18, 18:50 8
- I thought it was for security so you didn't connect with a hostile wife node that can record your logins/passwords - zeitgeist Apr 18, 20:57 2
  - yah, it's a security thing; but I'd bet most people who ever use wifi don't turn it on and off unless there's an issue or they're trying to save - b. Apr 18, 21:01 1
    - what I read about it, someone sets up a trap wifi open spot, you connect to that which acts like a server? but it gets your logins so if you access - zeitgeist Apr 18, 23:25
- I keep it on all the time. I use almost no mobile data. -- nm - Mop Apr 18, 19:25
- I turn it off to save battery. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 18, 19:20
- That's what i do. Also wears on battery. Same for location and bluetooth -- nm - budice Apr 18, 18:52 2
  - For the effort it make to turn it off and on. It isn't worth the gain in battery life -- nm - Karl_S Apr 18, 20:17

Man, after being in a Nissan for a week with a *terrible* CVT it was so nice to have gears again. - spamlet Apr 18, 18:25 6
- We have a Nissan with a CVT, works fine, feels just like an auto -- nm - Karl_S Apr 18, 18:34 1
  - Maybe because it was new then (had 24 miles when I got it last week). -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 18:39
- I don't know what kind of transmission the Ford Focus we had in Florida was, but it was tricky to get the hang of. -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 18:29 3
  - That was probably an auto-stick like mine. I don't think Ford uses a CVT. - spamlet Apr 18, 18:33 2
    - I'm usually good at finding the shift points on an automatic, the higher gears were fine, but starting up from a stop was always an adventure. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 18, 18:37 1
      - I'm prettty sure you don't need to shift gears when you stop an automatic. Unless you're turning it on. - nic to be determined Apr 18, 20:24

Steve Mason is hating this series -- nm - prayformojo Apr 18, 18:13 2
- he really shouldn't have broken all those mirrors under a ladder while black cats circled him. -- nm - Reagen Apr 18, 18:16 1
  - I see what you're saying, but how else are you going to scare those cats away? nm - Dignan Apr 18, 18:32

I had the outlet installed in my garage today. For the car I won't have until 2018. :-D -- nm - TWuG Apr 18, 18:05 3
- your enthusiasm is adorable. :) - I thought of you this morning - I saw a second of the new little suv dealios. this one was red. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 18:07 2
  - Yeah, the X is weird. I haven't seen one in person yet, so not sure if I like it or not. - TWuG Apr 18, 18:11 1
    - it's not that much weirder than some other similar newbies I've seen recently. - b. Apr 18, 18:15

- Karma, bitch! Trump makes hollow threats of lawsuits all the time but never follows through. -- nm* - Mop Apr 18, 18:21
texas pastor suing whole foods because he says a gay slur was added to his cake. (note, offensive word ahead, duh.) nm but: -- (link) - b. Apr 18, 18:05 34
- LYC: Based on the store address in the lawsuit document, he is claiming this happened at the flagship store in front of WF HQ -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 18, 19:00
- giving him the benefit of the doubt (apart from the idiocy of not checking the inscription on a cake before you take it with you!) -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 18, 18:54 4
  - whole foods says it was the same person who did the inscription as put it in the box and put the sealing sticker on it. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 18:59 3
    - its not entirely clear from the BF article who is saying that actually, but is it possible they might be mistaken? -- nm* - znufrii Apr 18, 19:08 2
      - oh, huh, I'm sorry, it actually says that's in the lawsuit filing. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 19:10 1
        
        That's what I thought, which is why I was confused :) -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 19:13
- What's his game, if it's fake? Did I miss it? Is he pro or anti gay rights? -- nm - Mop Apr 18, 18:45 2
  - I honestly can not tell what his end game is -- nm - amoxy Apr 18, 18:48
  - he's pro gay rights. if indeed it was his doing, I think it was for attention. the other version I read, linked here, says the box is still sealed. -- (link) - b. Apr 18, 18:48
- He noticed it in his car, I assume before he drove off...If that was me, I would walk back in the store and raise Holy Hell -- nm - amoxy Apr 18, 18:44 2
  - FWIW, the article I read earlier today on this had Whole Foods' response, which was essentially: "WTF, liar--we're Whole effing Foods." -- nm - ML Apr 18, 18:52 1
    - the same Whole Foods whose CEO called Obamacare fascist? -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 18, 18:57
- they thought his name was Francis Alonzo Gustavo -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 18, 18:36
- It's a *Whole Foods* in *Austin*. That fact alone is enough to call straight BS. -- nm - ML Apr 18, 18:32
- Maybe it was made by somebody that's not a fan of Rob Bell. - spamlet Apr 18, 18:29 2
  - I liked Bell before he went all craptacular theology on the bit. - ML Apr 18, 18:34 1
    - Heh, he was recently on the Relevant Podcast and they gave a warning before his interview. - spamlet Apr 18, 18:34
- Also, where the hell is your Christian turn-the-other-cheek forgiveness, pastor? -- nm - Max Apr 18, 18:25
- Here's what could have happened - Max Apr 18, 18:23 4
  - your IM: the pastor in question is gay -- nm - ML Apr 18, 18:41 3
    - I was just about to post that - I read a different version that says it, buzzfeed news fail. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 18:44 2
      - it all points towards a huckster wanting to get paid and/or an advocate trying to create sympathy for the cause - ML Apr 18, 18:47 1
        
        exactly. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 18:49
- Pretty darn good color match if faked, but the writing of the word in question is definitely done by a different hand. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 18, 18:09 2
  - I actually zoomed in to look even closer after I posted. it's pretty good but not exact. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 18:11 1
    - yeah, I definitely wouldn't say its an exact match, based on the picture. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 18, 18:16
- "there's no comma, it makes no sense that way" -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 18, 18:08
- also, wouldn't you notice that immediately? -- nm - Reagen Apr 18, 18:07 6
  - On the one hand, I can see him not paying attention to certain things, but wouldn't you want to inspect the icing on your cake? -- nm - Mop Apr 18, 18:44
  - oh yah, that, too, with the clear window and all. there are other weird bits - like who wouldn't go right back in instead of calling? and it really - b. Apr 18, 18:10 4
    - I could see wanting to avoid the confrontation. if they give you that cake, clearly they're looking for it. -- nm - mafic Apr 18, 19:04 3
      - oh, I'd ask for a manager. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 19:05 2
        
        yeah, but it's likely not going to go well in the store. complaining about it after the fact is the easy (also slightly cowardly) way to handle it. -- nm - mafic Apr 18, 19:25 1
        
        he's a pastor, used to talking to people, and it was something personally extremely offensive to him. - b. Apr 18, 19:35
I was wondering if anything would come of this - kanye's latest album, the one he said would only be available via Tidal, was released elsewhere - b. Apr 18, 17:58 2
- Meanwhile, people who subscribe to spotify are suing because it is available there. -- nm - Reagen Apr 18, 18:01 1
  - ba-dum-dum. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 18:06
I don't know when it was changed but I like the new crayon header. Another nice choice, Bery! -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 18, 17:57 1

- Who? - Will Hunting Apr 18, 17:56 3
  - Enzo and Cass. -- nm - Tim Apr 18, 17:56 2
    - Enzo can *talk*. His deal the other week about putting Devon's lazy eye back to work is the funniest thing on WWE since Rock's yabba-dabba bitch line - Will Hunting Apr 18, 17:59 1
      - He's been the best talker in WWE/NXT for a couple years now. And the performance center basically taught him to wrestle. - Tim Apr 18, 18:02
I'm just chewing gum until the flavor's gone. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 17:48
The green front light thing Walmart tried a few months ago...is it back or did it get appropriated by anti-tax day people? - Will Hunting Apr 18, 17:47 2
- I saw something about it again last week - just the vet thing, as far as I've seen. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 17:49 1
  - this is the walmart campaign, for anyone who doesn't know. nm but: -- (link) - b. Apr 18, 17:50

  - mud, I think you are closer but do you want me to go kill him? -- nm - Spawn Apr 18, 17:45 2
