Let's share our story of how we almost drop our phone and the mini heart attack it gave.
This is my story. I never drop my phone before and it is just less than half a month old.
I used to hate how it is a bit tight to plug the charger jack into the phone, until....
It was like any normal day, nothing out of the ordinary happen. The sun rise and and my day pass like yesterday. Night came and i needed to charge my phone. So I plug in my charger to the phone as how i always do. I was not prepared for what would happen next and how it would change how I see life as a whole.
I did not notice that the cable connecting my charger to my phone was caught by the edge of the arm rest of my chair. And as i was pulling the chair to sit, time begin to slow down. I begin to see everything in slow motion, how my phone was slowly sliding from the table to the edge as i pull the chair out.
My heart started to beat with speed, as one would experience after a long jog. I could see how the phone drop of the edge, and as that was happening I swing my left hand hoping to grab the phone, but it was not fast enough. My right hand scrambled only to manage to grab on to the cable. Everything happened so fast and yet so slow as i was waiting for sound of my phone dropping on concrete floor, it was about waist level my table but I didn't know what sound to expect. It seems like my heart was just at the edge to enter a cardiac arrest and the sound of my phone dropping is what that will push it.
As my ears were waiting for the sound, it is then my eye notice and i then realize that my phone was hanging on by a thread by the cable. I quickly but carefully pull my phone up by the cable and grab it. With my heart still racing but I start to calm down.
My true story of a near death experience. This all in less than 10 seconds. :victory:

Okay, seriously, I was drunk last night, and I was going to call someone, and while I took my month old phone outta my pocket I obviously drop it. It dropped screen facing to the ground on gravel and I got a crack on the screen.
Kids, what I learned that day, was never take your phone with you when you go out with a bottle of rum...

Any time I've been drinking and am wearing one particular pair of jeans, I miss the pocket and just drop the phone straight onto the ground (luckily it's held up so far). It's become such a nuisance that I just never wear that pair of jeans.
I once prank called someone.

Just a note about different people having different luck dropping phones.
Somehow I drop my phones fairly often, and have yet to break one. I drop them out of my hands, they fall off the desk, the whole car dock falls off of the windshield. No problems.
My wife, she drops hers once, and its toast. Several. Cameras as well.
Go figure.

This is relevant to my interests, please continue......
I will highly recommend two buckets of golf balls as having only one is illegal in some states.
The rule was implemented after a massive horse carriage accident happened back in 1768 in the village of Weinstenstern, England. The initial investigation done by the then forensic team found out that the horses had eaten what appeared to be pine cones causing them severe stomach issues and then passing out due to the internal damage because of the pine cones structure.
After the autopsy they also realize that what appeared to be golf balls have been thrown on the road making it almost impossible for the carriage operators to avoid imminent dead.
So on a referendum the then Mayor of said town made it into a law to carry at least two buckets of golf ball instead of just one in order to keep the balance of the universe and to avoid any more pine cone incidents.

golfballs, paintballs, ball bearings or any of that is going to get you a meeting with a (1911)<--------------- bad bad you dont want that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wan to know how many people are turning electrical devices(of any type) off while thunderstorms's. If you don't do that, do you have protections like over-voltage protected power-boards?
I don't turn them off, but I have much protection against the worst case
I usually turn them off, but not all the times.
I have a Tripp Light power supply, besides working as a surge protector (which I have in every outlet I use), if the power goes out I can safely shut down my TV receiver consoles etc. At that point I usually unplug all those things and fully charge my phone and tablet, tether the tablet to the phone and wait until the power comes back.
Only time this was not sufficient for me was last year when all the tornadoes hit us and the power was out for 4-10 days depending on where in north Bama you were at. That was complete chaos!! 7PM curfew and Martial law. Every time I get a chance now I urge people to keep as much gas in cans as possible, canned food for a week, and a few hundred dollars cash in a safe place like your garage at ALL TIMES! Lucky for me I had my bug out bag and a full tank. But it was really rough on allot of people, my parents even left the state. Anyways I got off topic there but its good advice!

It rarely happens in San Diego either. But our infrastructure collapses with the slightest breeze, so power outages are common. I love power outages, though, because all my devices are off, and its the perfect occasion to put ice in the cooler and get rip-roaring drunk in the dark.

Can somebody explain this strange phenomenon to me? Not a single week goes by when i don't drive over a solitary sneaker laying in the middle of the road. Last night alone i passed by two of these lost loafers! Sometimes they're a running shoe without the runner, but could equally be a business shoe without the business man.
So what's going on here? Are people leaving home with their footwear on the roof of their cars only to have their favourite flip-flops go sailing off on the first bend they take? Are moped owners arriving at their destinations only to find that they are one plimsoll short of a pair?
Has anybody here mysteriously lost one half of a nice pair of pumps during their journeys on the road, perhaps stepping out of the car wondering why their stocking clad right foot just took a soaking from that puddle?
Is it the aliens...?

There's two types of person in the world. One who wonders why there's random shoes in the road, and one who leaves random shoes in the road.
I regularly go to charity shops and buy shoes, preferably very distinctive or colourful ones, and then place them at either end of a county. It's a hobby of mine.

Bachelorette party?
Random Question & not sure who to ask so i figured the great people at XDA might know.
I'm thinking of buying an electric blanket (My bed gets SO cold in the evnings/night) just to warm my bed up before I go to sleep, But i have no experance with them & know nothing about them. I've searched online & all I seam to find is either horror stories or people saying "Don't buy them, there not safe" etc
Well are they safe to use? & If so what should I look for? Is there ratings or certain safty things I need to be aware of?
Thanks in advance guys & girls
I am using one since 3 years and I am still alive. Hope that helps.
EDIT: I actually don't like them alot cause of the wiring inside. I would rather go with a heavy blanket or sth like that. But yeah, when I gets fricking cold, I use them
Glad to hear your still alive! lol
Ahh is the wiring in them uncomfatable then? Would i not be able to put it under my sheet & it be hidden??
Links to said horror stories. Idk, maybe if you get one at the dollar store, the wires might break, but my mom and grandma have been using em for ages. No problems except they might wear out prematurely.
I don't need a sig, but would love a cig.

That is the first one that comes to mind. But its good to hear other people have been using them & are fine.
Any recomendations on brands or is it just avoid the cheep ones?
Water beds have heaters so they don't get too cold, if sleeping on electric heated water is safe I wouldn't think you'd have a problem with just an electric blanket. I would refrain from leaving in on unless your using it, same as any heater.

I think the general rule is that you should use an electirc blanket to warm the bed for half an hour or so before you get into it, but you should always turn it off before getting in. Leaving it on once you are in runs the risk of falling asleep with it turned on; possibly burning yourself or starting a fire

But to answer your question, I would just avoid the cheap ones. Not saying buy an expensive one. But just like anything in life, the cheap ones are cheap for a reason. Testing, materials, ect.

Damnit, you're right, LOL.
Get one from Argos, as has been said use it to wam your bed up before you get in then turn it off and pack it away.
Get a winter duvet too. John Lewis have a £1,000 duvet!
For that money I'd want a buxom woman with it to warm the bed
I use one every night during winter. I don't run my heat until I have to and even then not very high. I don't know the brand.... I do know I got it at walmart after winter when they were marked way down one year. Probably about 4 years old and still kicking.
I used to use one during the winter in my old room. Used it overnight and everything, kept me nice and toasty warm and not dead lol. Kinda wish I knew where it was (still in a box from moving), my room got down to like 55 last night. Totally my fault though cause I left the window open, but still lol.

Guys, keep it friendly or don't post please.
Good evening everyone, I've decided to try and alter the way I dress on a daily basis. Instead of wearing jeans and a hoody with trainers, I'd like to wear something a bit more mature and more for my age range.
The only problem is, is what do 30 year olds wear?
I'm from the u.k so there's a mixture of people rocking different styles, but it's mostly ripped skinny jeans and converse/new balance.
So what should 30 year old guys be wearing to set them apart from the rest of the crowd?
Any ideas?
Thanks everyone.
How bout just wear what you like, and don't worry about what others think
Lootcrate tees and trousers - least that is what my 35 year old fiance wears. Age doesn't matter, just wear what you feel comfy in.

That too
I'm 30 in usa, wearing clothes, they cover my body well, look cool, etc.
Go to china town and get a box of bootleg polos and nauticas and whatnot, you'll look sharp man.
And some cool shades, that's one thing I really want and need.
My man!
I am going to help you out. Now you won't look as good as me, but honestly no one does...
Gotta start out with some Jeans. You can go Abercrombie or Diesel. I'd personally go Diesel. Shirt you need something smart but not too showy. I'd grab a couple of Ralph Lauren polos, kinda like this: http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=57310186&parentPage=family
then you're gonna need some kicks. I'd grab some Jordan Eclipse. They are fashionably casual for any occasion and go with anything. http://www.footlocker.com/product/m...black/white/?cm=GLOBAL SEARCH: KEYWORD SEARCH
Now you're going to need to accessorize with a good timepiece depending on your budget. Don't get a smart watch, grab you a different looking skeleton diver watch.
That's how I'd roll if I were you. Now I could give you lessons on talking to the ladies, but that's going to cost some cool cash...
