- Your Google Home, Echo, or HomePod Is a White Noise Generator
You can just say, "Okay Google, help me relax" or "Okay Google, play ambient noise," and you'll get something picked at random.
Each of the ambient noise sounds built into the Google Home brain lasts for an hour. Once that hour is over, it'll repeat again unless you ask for something else or ask for it to stop. You can also ask for something specific if you prefer, as in, "Okay Google, play..." followed by your request.
At the moment, there are 14 ambient sounds to pick from: relaxing sounds, nature sounds, water sounds, running water sounds, outdoor sounds, babbling brook sounds, oscillating fan sounds, fireplace sounds, forest sounds, country night sounds, ocean sounds, rain sounds, river sounds, and thunderstorm sounds—so take your pick.

- Texas Politician Suggests Veterans Day Parade Organizers Should Be Lynched, Tells Confederate Group 'Get a Rope'
Per the article:The Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) had reportedly arrived at the parade on Saturday with two trailers displaying Confederate memorabilia, but were told by the Stephenville branch of the American Legion that any sign of the flags had to be taken down if they wanted to stay.https://www.newsweek.com/texas-politician-sid-miller-jokes-veterans-day-parade-organizers-should-lynched-1470981
"My understanding is that it would be inappropriate for the military to be involved in a parade with the Confederate flag flying," Burton Smith, one of the parade's coordinators, told the Texas Tribune.
He said that members of the SCV chose not to comply with the request and instead, decided to leave the event honoring U.S. service members altogether.
When members of the Confederate organization complained about the decision on Facebook, Miller wrote: "Get a rope."

- Modular, durable Doogee phone is made to be dropped and dunked
Hmm. A phone that can be dropped, with mods, such as a battery and speaker that can attach to the back of the phone. Seems like this is a direct rip-off of Motorola. The mods even have a hole in them for the cameras. The speaker mod even looks just like Motorola's.https://newatlas.com/mobile-technology/doogee-s95-pro-modular-tough-phone/

- This poll number proves how powerful Trump's misinformation machine really is - CNNPolitics
From the article:In a new national Monmouth University poll just four in 10 self-identified Republicans believe that Trump mentioned Biden in his call with Zelensky.https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/02/politics/donald-trump-ukraine-transcript/index.html
Are. You. Kidding. Me.
It is right there in the transcript that the WHITE HOUSE released of the call!
Remember that we aren't talking here about whether Trump pressured Zelensky to look into the Bidens. He did, but there is a little bit of wiggle room there in that Trump didn't say "Unless you do this, I will withhold military aid from you." This poll question deals only with whether Trump actually mentioned Biden's name in the call. Which he 100% did!
How can so many Republicans say he didn't? Because Trump has conditioned them to not believe things that are, quite literally, right in front of their faces.

- Calcium Deficiency - Does Milk Really Help Your Bones?
In a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism investigating the impact of dietary calcium on bone mineral density, researchers studied nearly 700 postmenopausal women with thinning, but not osteoporotic, bones. The scientists measured the women's bone mineral density (BMD) and calcium intake over a period of six years.
The women's calcium intake was consistent over the study period and ranged from an average of 469 mg in the group getting the lowest daily amounts of calcium to 1,361 mg among the women with the highest average intake.
Despite the wide range in calcium intake, their BMD was remarkably similar from start to finish of the study period. The gradual decline in bone density was virtually identical among all the women in the study regardless of how much or how little dietary calcium they got each day.

- Moto's Latest Phone Has a Genius Solution for Preventing Vertical Video Syndrome
From the article:...the most clever thing about the Moto One Action's Action Camera is how Motorola rotated the camera sensor 90 degrees inside the phone, so that when you're holding it in portrait orientation (which I admit is more comfortable and a big reason why vertical videos have become so pervasive), the phone still records footage in landscape mode.https://gizmodo.com/motos-latest-phone-has-a-genius-solution-for-preventing-1837284438
