Are you related to Chuck Tingle? And/or have you read any of his books?

There is a lot of scare-mongering about it and misinformation aswell.

...and downvotes for anyone promoting this perspective, apparently!

Have the same questions too, thank you for stating your position and question so well. Take my upvote!

Wow, facts continue to be too inconvenient for the Temp supporters.

So you're saying Obama should have gone over the municipal and state governments to force Flint to change their water system, before they asked for any help?

Sure, the alt-right definitely wouldn't have gone apeshit about him 'overstepping his authority' or some such stupidity. You guys scream bloody murder whenever the feds try to impose their will anywhere. But now you're claiming that's what you wanted all along? Make up your mind. Do you tools want less government, or are you just a bunch of whining hypocrites who've been fooled into believing that's what a billionnaire businessman is going to do for you?

Oil pipelines, offshore drilling and fracking - right, like you brainless assholes give two fucks about any of that stuff. You cheered when Temp appointed an anti-EPA head of the EPA. You celebrated liberal tears when he dismantled the Climate Change website. You called us SJWs when we marched for actual scientific facts over the alt-right's alternative facts.

Now you're trying to act like you give a shit? Go fuck yourself, you selfish little bitch.

And for the record, Obama did far less than industry pressured him to - unlike your pathetic little man-child president, who's literally handing the keys to the agencies that protect public health to the very industries they're supposed to regulate.

But will you ever criticize him for doing the very thing you accuse Obama of doing? I'm not going to hold my breath that you'll ever admit to being a hypocritical piece of garbage… but you are.

Please look into kratom. It may not be a perfect solution for everyone, and it may not be a good fit for you — but it has anecdotally helped hundreds of people who come through the r/kratom sub come off opiates, as well as alcohol, with greatly reduced withdrawal symptoms.

(...but do avoid getting kratom from head shops, it tends to be adulterated and/or inconsistent.)

Hi kwiens,

Thanks very much for taking the time to do this AMA, and for all your hard work at iFixit!

I own an aging iPhone 5 that I'm planning on giving to a friend soon; the phone was subject to the complementary battery replacement program several years back. I got the battery replaced through that program, but was seriously underwhelmed with the 'new' battery (which I later found out may have been refurbished or previously returned to Apple). Its charge never held particularly well, and battery life has always averaged just a few hours of usage (any type) since a couple of months after the replacement. (The replacement was only warrantied for like 60 or 90 days, if memory serves.)

And now, the phone will completely shut off without any warning when the remaining battery is as high as 30%. I don't use bluetooth, location services or other high-drain apps or functions, just wifi for basic services and occasionally the LTE network when I'm away from home. I understand the battery is probably on its last legs, but it seems to last fairly long in standby and I can make a call for about an hour before it craps out, so it's obviously still got some juice.

So first question, is there anything I can do to predict and/or prevent these random shutdowns, besides replacing the battery? Neither my friend nor I have a lot of money to spend on our phones at the moment.

And second, when one of us does replace the battery, is there any issue replacing it with a higher capacity (mAh) unit, assuming it fits in the same/similar form factor?
