It's hard for most people to eat and drink under 1500 calories a day. Are you saying you're having issues getting up to 1500 calories a day?

Eggs are the cheapest and most perfect protein you can get. Just eat loads of those (around 80 calories an egg) and do some spinach or kale and bell peppers as well. That will cover your veggies and your protein. Then you can fill the rest out with a bit of rice or oatmeal. All of that listed is pretty super cheap.

To your other quaestion- no, you do not need to eat an extra 500 calories if you burn an extra 500 if weight loss is your goal. Eating too little calories (like less than 1200, depending on sex and height) makes your body try to keep your fat and will start removing your muscle in order to make your body have less upkeep. That's really bad. However, if your body knows it's getting more calories than that, and that your having to use a lot of your muscles (burning 500 extra calories per day) it will burn off the fat reserves and try to maintain the muscle you keep using.

The donation is not confirmed to be him. The listed donation just came with a first and last name. No age or birth date, with no middle initial or name. There are a lot of people with the same first and last name and there's no reason to believe it was this particular Thomas Crooks that made the donation.

That's not very true, unfortunately. Knocking allows someone to somewhat figure out if anyone is home, allows a person to gauge who is home (a man or a woman) and how easily the knocker can gauge overtaking them. Breaking in means the homeowner may have time to get a weapon and means the knocker will have to search for anyone home.

Getting them to come up to the door and see if they're armed makes it easy if a person is looking for a victim. People just breaking in are usually hoping no one is home and just wants to rob the place.

The author has completely missed the MAIN reason the campaign was good in 2009 and isn't, now.

In 2009 the mindset was still that you needed a good single player game to get sales of a game. By 2015 call of duty had it figured out that they could almost completely ignore shoestringing a half asked campaign together and still get massive sales because their players were buying it for the multi-player, and all the money to be made by their fan boys buying it was in the multi-player.

The US hard up needs straight socialized Healthcare. Our model is complete shit.

Their story gets even more screwed up. The woman who had the kids' health insurance (through her work, cause murika) cut this drug and others like it the day after the woman's kids were born. Doctors ran tests on her twins and confirmed the issue 4 days later.

So if she'd have had her kids less than a week earlier, the insurance would have been forced to cover it. I practically find it hard to believe it was such a coincidence.

What a lame early April fools joke.

Don't forget minecraft was originally just one guy. 15ish years ago. In Java.

Now over 600 people work on it.

Instead of doing most shit in-house, they contracted out shit tons of parts to the lowest bidder and they jenga all the pieces together. Kind of like when you buy an hp laptop, even though HP doesn't make a single piece of their laptop (or even assemble the things). They just arrange for all the pieces they want from all the component manufacturers and buy the parts and have them shipped to the assembly plant that's to be used.

Liquid screen protectors are useless snake oil, and doubly so when you're putting a real screen protector over the top of them.

Fairfone isn't compatible with most US carriers.

Samsung and some other providers/custom roms as well have a settings option to stop charging at 85%. This will vastly extend how long your battery will last before going bad.

Disable fast charging options. If your phone doesn't have the option, use a charge block that only outputs 5v 2amp. This will also make your battery last longer.

When replacing batteries, 99% of aftermarket batteries are absolute garbage. Either get an OEM replacement (most on ebay are counterfeit) or just know you'll have to replace it often.

I keep my phones for usually 3 to 5 years at a time and in 25 years have never had a power button go bad on me. I also have a lot of equipment to fix laptops, cell phones, etc so I get a lot of people I know bring me their phones when they break, and out of dozens of phones brought to me, I've never had to repair a power button. It's all speakers and charge ports and screen stuff. A volume button once.

Speaking of charge ports: Keep them clean and don't use your phone while they're plugged in. Or at least be mindful to not stress the connection while it's plugged in.

Never leave your phone in a hot car or the sun shining on it through a window. This hurts the battery and causes the adhesive holding down the cable from the main board to the screen to de-laminate. That's what has often happened when a screen has a solid thin line of color going all the way down the screen (looking at you, samsung).

Use the accubattery apk(android) to keep an eye on your battery health and spot apks that are draining your battery the most.

Cross your fingers and hope you can still find a good phone with an SD card slot.

Know someone like me who will fix your phone for you. I do it for people I know just for the funsies. It's a nice hobby.

I moved back to Firefox like 5 years ago. But saying the vast majority of tools don't seem to do the trick is a pretty true statement, since that's one browser with one app, and the browser only has a sub 10% market share.

Well only because I've said where I live and how much I earn, before.
