Happy With My Galaxy S7 and It's Otterbox

Here is my Samsung Galaxy S7 in it's nice shiny new case (Otterbox Defender). So I get it in there and then notice there is a little speck of something UNDER the screen protector. Man this same thing happened with the old phone and I am not taking it apart to get it out, it's a pain in the ass to get back together.

There where 3 reasonable options with this case, all black the black and gray or 2 tone pink. I took this one. Sasktel had the same case on sale for $85 and this was $32 on Amazon - soooo. I also got a screen cleaning kit with a nice crush thing for removing bits of stuff. That topped it over $35 and I got free shipping.

I don't order nearly enough stuff to warrant prime and I have no interest in watching their shows and movies on the PC or Tablet - I want to watch on the TV and I can't - so it's not an option.

Anywho, the case is easy to grip and has a holster that I will never use. So unless I drop it face down on a big rock it should be fine. I tend to drop the dang thing once a week or so. Doing this in the kitchen or the hall might kill it without the case, so I always get one.

The phone is water resistant so I can drop it in the sink or toilet and it will be fine. From what I read there is a 50/50 chance the phono jack will never work again after that though. BUT who uses it? Them things suck and I have Bluetooth headphones for 3 am music...

The phone is a LOT faster than the LG G4 was and the touch screen does NOT have the issues the LG had, so it's a happy thing :) It does rapid charge but so did the LG and in both cases I turned it off in the settings. It shortens the life of the battery.

Speaking of battery, this one seems to last about 60% or 70% longer than the LG did even with the always on display (clock on the lock screen). In battery saver minimum mode it's literally double the play with time I had with the LG.

Both camera's work well but it was a learning curve to get the dual camera mode to RECORD as it has to be set to record as 1 file or it saves as some strange MP4 with 2 streams in it that you can flip between. No idea why on earth I would want this as NOTHING on earth will let me use it - not like YouTube supports this.

Anyhow phone is a happy purchase and the case is working perfect (dropped it twice already). So Dave Happy.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
