I bought a phone mount one, it charges quite fast and it is so much easier to place my phone in the dock and have it charge. It does get quite warm but that's easily remedied by pointing an AC vent to the back of the phone.

Honestly it sounds like you got a low wattage one and yes those do charge much slower.

My favorite fps achievement took place in Halo on the Xbox. We did the thing to play online and during an online ctf match I was on point with the sniper rifle. The match was tied up for flag captures and we were in a stalemate for a bit. The other team managed to get our flag and were running it back. As I'm in my sniper spot trying to line up the shot they all jumped at nearly the same time right into my sights. I take the shot and head shot every one of them... Except for the flag carrier because they apparently jumped just a tiny bit ahead of the others and dropped just enough to go under the bullet.

The entire lobby was going nuts over that last sniper shot. Even though we lost it was the talk of the match. The loss sucked but that shot was amazing. I quit playing for the day after that... No way was I going to top it so I left on a high.

I've found with my kids "I don't really know, how about we look it up together" is very effective.

In fairness... Most of the "behind the scenes" are done in metric so we kind of did convert to metric. It's mostly just the public that is imperial still.

I'm not sure why you got downvotes... You're correct. Some of the pills do absolutely affect arousal and libido.

The ones that freak out over an acorn are cheaper and easier to brainwash.

This is why they changed their API policy the way they did. They wanted to sell it rather than let bots scrape it for free.

IIRC, this is a big deal because they are achieving more energy out than they put in.

If I've been reading these correctly they are achieving it with tiny amounts of fuel and slowly working up as they achieve success. I'm seeing these as proof of concept and fantastic steps in the right direction.

Pregnant woman are supposed to report cravings like that to their doctor... Apparently it can be a symptom of a serious problem.

Well done steaks are fine as long as they aren't dry... This picture is of a piece of meat most of the way to jerky without anything that makes jerky good.

While that is true... There is still a ton of high school bullshit going on, especially in workplaces.

All the same drama and gossip... I'm so glad I don't work in an office anymore.

You don't really... You exit and follow the service road until you find a way to get across, usually by going under.

I hate driving in Texas because this kind of shit is everywhere. Middle of nowhere and want to get to the rest area ahead? Exit and follow the service road for a mile.
