Android had an update... i reluctantly updated to PIE. Now, on my Samsung Galaxy S9, I dont have the ability to play, pause or change tracks on the Lock Screen (I could do that before the update).

I know these cities are a blast in the summer, but what about January through March? It would be a late-20s couple interested in festivals, bar scenes, general sightseeing, and experiencing the culture unique to the cities.

Window pops up through Mozilla Firefox... window does not have search bar or typical browser look, it's just a black window with the message: "So you've decided to get a smartphone.. Yes - you've seen this cool gadget in your friends' hands and got jealous, so what?.. Now it's time to consider what's important to you in a smartphone and how to avoid a lame purchase:"

Ran my typical Virus Scan, and it deleted one tracking cookie. Restarted computer and window popped up again. I can close it, but I dont want to keep having this show up. What is it and how do I remove it?

Heard an interesting fact after Purdue lost to Wisconsin 62-17 last week: that was the 1st time Purdue has EVER given up 60 points in a game, in 125 years of football. Can any other school claim this streak of non-defensive-letdowns?

Most city train/monorail/subway systems i see serve the suburbs/neighborhoods (residential) and the commercial/entertainment districts. I feel it would make sense if large scale manufacturing or industrial plants would move to a location near a transportation line (or the transportation lines be built toward the plants). Show me an example of a city that has such a system, and I'd like to research it.

everyone has an agenda... looking for a web site i can check daily that will have relevant, non-partisan, not-for-profit reporting of news in America. Does it exist?

Prop Bet Result. I saw him once, by my count.

Looking for a Super Bowl Prop Bet result. I know one Offensive Lineman (#70 T.J. Lang) and 2 other were involved. All i can see is that one other player has a last digit of "8" in his jersey number. #98? #88?

Going for a weekend with the girlfriend... any suggestions on easy to moderate trails with great views/destinations?

My 4-cyl automatic 1999 Chevy Malibu will sputter when accelerating from a stop. Do not want to put too much money into it, but if there is a simple fix, I would like to know what it could be. I've also been told that my car battery can not hold a charge... after only 6-months. Electrical connection? Spark plug? Alternator? Appreciate anybody's input.

Doesn't matter what battery I use, my car for some reason causes batteries to lose their charge really quickly (last one lasted 2.5 yrs, new one has lasted 0.5 yrs).

1999 Chevy Malibu 4 cyl. automatic with 130K miles. Been mostly city driving the last 2 yrs. Just had the battery replaced, and oil and transmission fluid changed last month by a "local" mechanic (thought I'd give him the business over Jiffy Lube). 2 wks ago, started notice that when at a stop light, car would shake slightly and would seem to jump from about 500 rpm at idle to 2000 rmp with a slight push of the gas pedal. No noises, no warning lights, all gauges seemed fine. Air filter checked out ok. Put a bottle of fuel system cleaner and switched to middle grade gas. Last night, while in reverse in a parking lot, car completely shut off. It did start right back up. Put 1/2 qt new oil in it and made it home OK. My thoughts: bad oil? bad transmission fluid? Not enough oil? Looking to thoughts/advice. Thanks.

Want to visit the Hoover Dam, not to see the actual dam, but to check out the construction of the bridge. Anyone know how i can get a better view, maybe even onto the job site?

Live on 2nd floor of 2 flat. Every other outlet has adequate water pressure, but bathroom sink has low pressure. Is this a faucet issue? Only thing i've tried is adjusted the knobs on both hot/cold pipes below sink.

Do not want a "vacation" style place. I'd prefer a mom-and-pop place to stay in a location close to hiking/biking trails. Any ideas?

Looking for mountain biking trails in/around denver, colorado. I dont want anything too dangerous or too remote.

25 year old male going to denver for a weekend. Want to know where to stay/eat/party.

Looking for adventure and a nice place to stop and spend the night somewhere in between illinois and colorado.
