FYI. There are phone apps that work great. Never tried one on a black person, but the phone, a $19 one from Ebay and the wired one in a hospital all read the same O2 levels. Tried it multiple times on several people.

Re: 100" TV $2399 - 4 days ago

QuoteRAMd®d I'm even more impressed that the deal includes a screen. I know nothing of either the projector or screen quality, but a 4K/100" display would be quite an immersive experience at about 6–13'. This is different than a typical projector and screen. The screen is rigid and designed to work only with the laser projector very close to it at a small range of angles.

I am getting ready to switch from Avast VPN to Express VP because too many sites have blocked Avast. The sites get too many inquiries from certain IP addresses so they block them. The site does not know that your on a VPN, just that their security features get triggered by too many users from a specific IP

Re: Creeped out story - 16 days ago

Your logic is flawed. Gun deaths include suicide and justified use of firearms such as by police or legally owned private guns used to protect themselves. In places like Chicago, NYC, Washington DC, people just get assaulted or killed because they cannot legally carry protection.

I bet first, he covers a wide area and has plenty of sketchy places where people need help and second, you live in a state that allows open carry. And if you notice, violent crime goes up in places with strict gun laws.

Re: Help setting up Apple Mail - 4 weeks ago

I typically had Apple mail running all the time. I would check webmail from time to time but the e-mails always ended up on my computer in Apple Mail and I sorted a lot of it by client or topic. If I deleted it in webmail before Apple mail saw it, it would be gone but now even after Apple mail has the e-mail, if I delete it on webmail it gets deleted from Apple Mail. QuoteSarcany QuoteMr645
