I don't know about Windows, on Linux it's at the function level, and some cases are tricky.

A theatre is perfectly fine. It doesn't have to, and shouldn't, be one of those suburban monstrosities with a huge parking lot and a dozen screens.

Every smart TV is a dumb TV too. Mine has some smart stuff, I think, but I have never used it, and it has never been online.

You mention you like picture frame mounts, so why don't you use picture frames? You can get some used stuff for very cheap at Goodwill. Or get wood trim at home depot and cut to size.

Anything that's not visible gets the glue gun treatment.

I mean, that is not how it works. Also, crocodiles don't look like any dinosaur I can think of?

Classification is based on genetic relationships, not looks, so bats aren't birds, for example.

I love that "standard" means non-standard. I only have metric nuts and bolts, I use them for 3D printed stuff, car and bikes, and I have imperial screws and wrenches for wood working and car. I think my car is all metric, but it just felt safe to get a dual kit.

Nice rant. I was born and raised in a "third world country" with better transportation than the US despite much lower density. In fact it would rank just under Oregon, so 39 stated are more dense than my country.

California does not have good public transportation, neither does a lot of the East Coast, for that matter. I have lived on both coasts and the Midwest, and visited over 35 states. Public transportation is mostly crap with a few exceptions in the core of a few Metro areas, and the NE.

Public transportation advocates want more than to add buses and trains, you are misrepresenting what we ask for.

Maybe you're just a bigot.

Why is it shameful to be behind Namibia and Costa Rica?

It's just the cost of a banana!

For all we know this is their luxury buy of the month.

As others have mentioned, the Galaxy S5 was water resistant and had a replaceable battery. Phones are generally not water proof, so don't go dunking them in water expecting them to work. Use a case for that, also if it floats all the better.

Adding a sealant when you close it isn't a huge chore, although it's nice to be able to just replace the battery without any tools, it's better than charging. Also it would still be water resistant until the first battery change.

Watches have replaceable batteries while having replaceable batteries, too.

As a side note, if you drop electronics in water, take the battery out before taking them out of the water, so that the short doesn't destroy them. The battery will be toast, but that's cheaper to replace.
