Sorry yes this assumes you live in a place where you can walk to something like a post office or a supermarket. Rural US may not have this but that's already kind of a problem. You don't have to go every day though. You can just get a notification when your delivery is actually there. This is already done in some places by companies but in a smaller scale where the available boxes are very limited and only for smaller items. With special cases I meant people who have trouble leaving the house for whatever reason.

This is very close to your mail example but can we please move on from delivering items directly to houses? Just give me a destribution center or box at a 10-15 min walking distance and I'll gladly pick up everything from there when it's actually convenient. We can still keep the other model for special cases.

Depends what it's based on. It should have a similar runtime. So short story -> movie, book -> mini series. If it's like a series of 5 books I guess it can be a full TV show.

There's another question though. Would your mind get into all this trouble if you didn't know there would be questions coming?

Or maybe 80% of people are unhappy. No data here either

A book called The Night by a Venezuelan author.

I feel a bit bad saying this because there are definitely worse books but this one stuck with me as the premise sounded really interesting but the book was nothing like it.

There is a review on goodreads that sums it up pretty nicely.

Literature about literature, books about books, literature about books, books about literature, literature about literature, books about books, ...

I think that was the initial idea behind Pocket but no idea how it has developed since then.

The main thing is a script to stop any media playing and turn off the screen after x minutes, so I can fall asleep watching YouTube or listening to something. There's probably already an app for that but this is pretty customizable.

Another stupid use is putting the phone on silent while using the camera app because Samsung won't let you turn off the camera shutter sound.

Tasker. Basically an interface for writing scripts for your phone. Even if you don't have a use case in the beginning you'll start finding things to do with it.

Oh I didn't know about this. You're talking about The Familiar, right? I don't know if I'm up for another 5 books like this but now I really want to try.

If you want something really wild by him you can try Valis. Going in blind or not won't really make a difference.

A speaker too. So you can mess with your pets while away or spy on your spouse. What an amazing product idea /s

Definitely House of Leaves. A story inside of a story, inside of a story, with all narrators being just a bit crazy. Text of different fonts, going all over the place and even upside down based on the story. Just make sure to get the physical copy.

Is there a difference at this point? If it doesn't automatically correct you, you don't have to correct it back.

At this point its main function is adding apostrophes and tildes to words. About half the time it does that when it's not needed and needs correction. Eg. the first "its" in this comment.

Don't really have a normal camera. I have a GoPro Hero 4 (ancient, I know) which I take with me swimming. Once you get used to it, underwater photos look amazing. I want to get a actual camera too but worry I'll keep regretting not carrying it with me places. So potato phone camera it is.

Let alone there's already a bunch of answers in that post

Improperly placed gear, such as faulty anchors, is a common contributing factor to rock climbing accidents resulting in death.

A significant number of rock climbing deaths are associated with inadequate belaying practices.

Pretty sure these are not considered as being VERY careful.

I am one of the people with unusual sleep schedules. If you know someone well enough to know their personal timezone then you can use that regardless. It's still useful to know the hours a country usually operates in.

As a programmer I would love that. But as a person it does make more sense to go "it's 4am in California, that person is probably sleeping" than "it's 11am, what is the sun situation like in California rn?"
