    Yea, when I worked at Dominos we were charging like $2.50 for a 20 oz coke and $3.50 for a 2 liter. Since the same 2 liter was like $1 at the grocery store, I thought we were gougi…

    That used to be the same mix my household used. I’d suggest giving the Reminders app a try as a drop in replacement for Notes. There’s a really handy list template in the Reminders…

    Take a look at Tapo or Kasa devices (both TP-Link products). I recently got a few to try out, and expressly chose them because they do motion and sound detection on device and also…

    Yes. The flap created for LASIK (and LASIK-like surgeries, such as SMILE or LASEK) heals, but doesn't have the structural integrity that occurs when the epithelium has to fully reg…
