Option 3 is the only one that seems sustainable long term. Donations will NEVER keep up with user growth, thus storage costs will balloon out of control.

Completely avoiding any chance of illegal content touching the servers should immediately have everyone agreeing on this option. I doubt anyone here is willing to foot legal bills and as such even minor legal actions would be the end of this instance.

Privacy is nice but ip logging is the simplest form to "protect" against with even a free VPN. If those claiming privacy concerns here aren't already using a VPN and are depending purely on lemme.ee's proxy then their internet hygiene needs an update.

As for usability, the image being deleted from external provider presents the same issue to the user between option 2 and 3. The cache from option 2 will inventually get cleared and it'll fail to pull a fresh copy if deleted from the external hosts.

Great film even ignoring the single take aspect, that feature just elevates it further.

There has to be some factor other than sheer population driving NY's total cc debt. 63 Billion is an insane number.

Asus zen phone had received great reviews. You can use it as stock Android or with Asus' slight customizations. It's on the smaller side but it's a good price.

It was disappointing to go through the saga of thinking I found a semi reliable podcast regarding health and current research, to finding some weak episodes, and finally arriving at the conclusion that his methodology is sloppy at best. The Dr Lustig episode was especially egregious. He let that guy make some of the most outlandish claims that I've heard. He made up statements about how FDA nutrition labels are required which was easily dismissible by a quick look at the FDA website. That was more or less the final nail in the coffin for me.

The biggest indicator to the scientific weakness of his podcast is the rate of release. It is not possible to do weekly releases on the complex topics he covers AND maintain the level of scientific scrutiny required to vet the referenced research or guest.

Important distinction

Most Nones believe in God or another higher power, but very few attend any kind of religious service.

Buying a resistance band can be great to fill in the gaps between hotel gyms. Doesn't need to be anything fancy. Something portable that you can travel with to add resistance to bodyweight exercises. Only other tip is to superset your workout, mainly for the time benefit. I travel a good bit for work and it's amazing how I lose track of time and skip workouts due to time limitation.

Not exactly sure what it is but I'm just not big on Anya. I wish they had chosen someone else.

Bingo. This is the right answer. People who have their whole identity wrapped around their religion or lack thereof won't be pleasant to be around for long. Life is short so enjoy the company of people who are religious if it doesn't get in the way of your friendship or relationship. I have no issues with religious people as long as it remains a personal tool they use to find their way through life and be a good person. There are great people out there, religious and secular, but the opposite also holds true. Don't let it be a variable that completely clouds your judgment of people.

Just out of curiosity, what android phone did you have before switching? I haven't hadany issues with Android Auto the few times I've used it in a rental car. My car is too old for it but it's going to be a variable in my next vehicle purchase which admittedly is very far away.

I'll also add that spending habit data is very valuable in terms of advertisement. We are in the age of very targetted advertisement. Just a random example: *user14555* on our T-Mobile app eats at a restaurant for lunch every Thursday. Have the app pop-up with a coupon from one of our participating restaurants on Thursday morning.

Restaurant will pay or give exclusive coupons to T-Mobile in exchange for these benefits. T-Mobile then hopes to entice more users by listing their app and "exclusive coupons" as unique benefit to using them as a cellphone provider. All the major providers have more or less settled at similar prices for cellphone plans so they lean on these extras as marketing tools.
