How does iOS not have a repair mode? My wife is getting a new battery, and there is so much sensitive information on the phone.
Apple's recommendation is to wipe the phone and restore when it is returned. I just put a 0 minute app limit on all the apps that I do not want the service tech to access.
Dear PeerTube,
Every time I want to upload a video I keep getting error messages.
Why does this keep happening?
Several of my videos haven't even been uploaded.
Please sort this out.
I'm really annoyed about my own clumsiness.
Today I bumped my new (less than 10 times out of the cuecase) pool cue against the table, leaving a dent in the otherwise pristine finish.
All my shafts also have dents from similar clumsiness.

Chicago Avenue-Taxpayer Stadium in the news.
'The Legislature created the electronic games to pay for the $350 million state share of the stadium. They were so successful the state debt was repaid 23 years early and lawmakers decided to put future proceeds into the general fund.
'That move frustrated Sen. Jeremy Miller, R-Winona, who’s also a sponsor of the bill, because he says lawmakers initially intended for some e-pulltab revenue to be used for stadium upkeep.
'“This is an asset of the state of Minnesota and it is our responsibility to maintain the stadium,” Miller said.'

I may never set foot in a movie theater again.
Who is asking for this?

WILL NOT COMPLY @LibertyForward1 Well that was a bad fucking idea. Who does case-sensitive string compares these days (other than for passwords)? No doubt this also means that it distinguishes between, say, Jose and José. #annoying #Annoying #AnNoYiNg
Mr. Orange and his #tariffs have had a huge effect on stock markets and so on my "voluntary #pension #savings". He is a living and walking chaos. I have invested for 20 years and the #loss has been -7 % in one week. They should grow, not go down. 
I've been told that I'm still young and things will change. I don't invest by myself. My bank does that on behalf of me. In #finland we have this kind of service. #annoying #suomimastodon #politics #usa #lifemustgoon
Notice: Anytime I see a video with somebody talking direct to the camera and words popping up one-by-one, be guaranteed that I will immediately scroll past.
My audio is always off. I don't have time to watch word-by-word captioned videos that I could read ten times as fast if it were plain text.
Be annoying? I'm already an expert at that!
Declassified #CIAGuide to Sabotaging #Fascism Is Suddenly Viral
The World War II-era "#SimpleSabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

"A declassified World War II-era government guide to 'simple sabotage' is currently one of the most popular open source books on the internet. The book, called 'Simple Sabotage Field Manual,' was declassified in 2008 by the CIA and 'describes ways to train normal people to be purposefully #annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on. In other words, teaching people to do their jobs badly.'
"Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on #ProjectGutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).
"'#Sabotage varies from highly technical coup de main acts that require detailed planning and the use of specially-trained operatives, to innumerable simple acts which the ordinary individual #CitizenSaboteur can perform,' the guide begins. 'Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment; it is executed by an ordinary citizen who may or may not act individually and without the necessity for active connection with an organized group; and it is carried out in such a way as to involve a minimum danger of injury, detection, and reprisal.'"

If I give you a big ol’ integer and say “I think this might be a combination of nCr something… but I don’t remember n or r— or maybe it’s just some integer.
How do you efficiently test to see if it’s a possible result from that formula?
I mean I could make a list up to the needed digits and search, but that isn’t very elegant. Other ideas?

Most annoying sale flyers, ever, come from REI.
No prices, only "x percent off!!"
Why do some automated systems force people to use their voices when they call in? 
Whatever happened to press one for this, press two for that— you can’t even bypass some of these systems with the old tricks.

Agreed; everyone, go opt out of this.
There's another minor annoyance here, but one of my pet peeves. This isn't "Find My Device"- or even Google-specific...
Every big business tells you "Don't follow links in emails claiming to be from us!". Good advice.
And then sends you email saying "Follow this link to do <X>".
