Let me guess. 2 years of battery life if you leave it idling and never touch it.
The minute you try to program or use it, battery life goes down to 2 hours.

If you are a Poe enthusiast, here is a random fact:
In the movie Monkey Bone with Brendan Frasier, Edgar Allen Poe is played by Poe's great grandson Edgar Allen Poe IV.
Edit: not son but related to him by way of cousins.

It's not always a bad day. It's bad life experiences that up to what feels like a failed life.
Which in the grand scheme of things is still a fraction of your life.

My guess is someone somewhere had a good idea of who it was and were able to just wait for him to do it again.

As someone who works in the post office, all packages are pretty much personalized.
It's 80% garbage with no resell value and really no value to anyone other than the person who ordered it.
Very rarely will you find anything of value in a package. It's just not worth your time. Leave packages alone.

I found a couple by accident just kayaking down the river.
They were hidden well. I thought someone just left them behind by accident.

What do you think 100% of Jewish people over 80 is are holocaust survivors?

Well that's what is being said.
If you are 85 years or older, Jewish, and live in NY... you are a holocaust survivor.

Are you saying that every single Jewish person is a holocaust survivor?
The only way that would make sense is if 100% of Jewish people are holocaust survivors.

Did you look at the numbers?
141,000 people in the city of New York are 85 plus years old.
10%+ of those people are holocaust survivors? No fucking way.

With that math and logic, I can deduct that the population of Michigan has about 1% of people who came from California.
1% would be 100,000 people so I could easily see there being "thousands" of shark bite survivors.

My step dad told us that he fought in the Vietnam War.
He was stationed on a aircraft carrier that was docked a hundred miles from shore.
Does that count as really "fighting" in the Vietnam war?
How many of these "survivors" are actually people who left the country between 1939 and 1941 before anything horrible started happening?
What counts as a survivor?
I imagine if we counted everyone including babies then these numbers seem more appropriate. I just fill ill to lump in everyone. Someone who left the country in 1939 to flee to the US and anyone born 1943-1944 shouldn't really be lumped in with someone who was a prisoner of war and thus a survivor.

I can't wrap my head around that number.
There are 15 thousand people between the ages of 85-105 that are holocaust survivors??
Seems far fetched.
EDIT: https://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/vital_statistics/2010/table01.htm
There are 141K people in New York city that are 85 plus years old. So more than 10 percent of those people are holocaust survivors.
It's sounding more and more farfetched to me.

How many holocaust survivors are even left?
It happened 78 years ago.
A 10 year old would be 88 years old now.
I can't imagine there's more than a 100 left let alone "thousands in NY".

Did you not see the pause indicated by the dots (...).
Which do you think soon after applies to?
If you still need help it's obviously the executed part.
If it will help make sense to you and everyone else, make both words the same. Either use arrested or caught in both cases.
Example:
He was areested ... and executed soon after his arrest.
Make more sense for you?

Reread it. But this time pause after the word caught.
He was caught ... and executed soon after his arrest.
It makes perfect sense. He was caught. Then after his arrest he was executed.

This is true. I used to work for a graphic design department where this would not work at all.
My current job though we don't deal with any external emails at all, so it works great.

IT department sends emails using external emails. Meaning emails from outside the company.
So I just flag all emails coming in from outside the company.

Not my current corporate email.
Although I have been with several companies that do in fact use business Gmail.
So the company name and url is still in the email such as, Dave@boxcompany.com, but we use gmail as the platform to send/retrieve those emails. Kind of like how most companies use Outlook, we just used Gmail in most of the places I have worked.
