For example, I have the app of Pandora playing music and Pandora is displayed on the watch. It shows what song is playing and who’s singing. I lower my wrist to continue doing the work I’m doing. Sometime in the next 15 minutes 20 minutes I’ll bring my wrist back up to look at the wash to see who is singing the current song And it has gone back to the time

I did not have this problem before I updated the watch last night. It would stay on Pandora or whatever screen I set the watch to.

I don’t mind the watch going to sleep to save battery power that’s fine. But when I bring my wrist up to look at my watch, it should still be at the display that is that I set.

How do I adjust this? How do I get it to stay on for example Pandora or Apple Music or whatever I want the screen to be at? Again to clarify, I’m not saying to keep it from going to sleep. I just want it when I bring my wrist up where the screen lights up. It is on the display that I have set it to.

Short of medical, there shouldn't be exemptions. Sorry if that offends anyone. No I take that back, I'm not sorry.

My mom would not be able to wear a hat during the summer obviously heat would stay in and she would get too hot. She needs a wig, but that wig should, for lack of a better phrase, breathe.

So it doesn’t hold the heat in near the scalp.

Is there a wig that is like that? Or do all wigs effectively hold heat to the scalp?

Edit: I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. That's on me. I meant will a wig be more warm then normal hair?

In theory yes

In reality, they will find a way around your patent.

Look up the patent on window wipers as an example

company?

I mean how did it work?

I know, I can create a live CD of Linux, I know I also can create a bootable Linux installation on a jump drive. I’m curious is can I actually do a full install of mint Linux on an external drive and actually run it that way. When I say run it I mean actually add packages remove packages, etc. i’m asking because I have a currently working Windows 10 computer. And until I really understand Linux especially how to properly install it. I prefer not to screw something up on a working system. I figured install it to an external Drive and then just tell the bios, don’t boot the windows drive just boot into the external Drive.

Would this actually work?

I know the ng means nanogram

But I’m curious how would I say the above line of 2.1 ng/kg

For context I got it from this paragraph

a lethal dose of 1.3–2.1 ng/kg in humans

Would it be

2.1 nanogram per kilogram?

Also if I wanted to write that as a decimal number how would i write that?

The simple answer is "REFUSE TO BUY THE SHIT!"

It is literally that simple. I can't think of a single person that HAS to buy a NEW car. Keep what you have or buy used. Tell the dealerships and auto makers to fuck off! Explain why a person ever has to buy a NEW car.

As long as people are stupid and buy it the auto makers WILL continue on this path.

Learn where all the shut off valves for your waterlines are at your house or apartment. When you have a leak is not the time to find out or rather figure out where your shut off valves are at. if you don’t know where your shut off valves are at, what could’ve been a minor water mess could turn into a major bill.

Work hard, show up and you will get a pay raise, you will get promoted.

Yeah no didn’t work that way.

You want a pay raise, find a new job.
