    California has the biggest agriculture, port and manufacturing base in the US basically. The county orders contradict the state. OC is letting factories stay open with conditions a…

    Scannable was and still is one of the best "take a picture and scan a document" apps out there. But Evernote, which has 15 years of my life stored in it, sucks.
