Have you looked at Tracfone? Buy data as needed, use wifi to save data, can be as low as 9 dollars a month if you don't make a lot of long calls. You can get android phones for as low as 59 dollars.

The only issues are the lack electronics required to process 4k video and the poorly controlled viewing (no gyroscope) of static equirectangular 360 VR content for 'Google Cardboard' using the Moto G's accelerometer. An app called VaR's VR can view and turn VR content with some amount of success using the accelerometer. It drifts away from true horizontal panning. Here is what a static 360 image , for Google cardboard, would look like before 'turning the VR scene' with the app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, those are either really fat women or trannies (or maybe fat trannies). Those two groups of people always arise, in me, strong feelings of revulsion. I think it comes from the sheer ugliness, they are the diametric opposite of beauty. Still, I do much prefer to live in a place that allows people to dress however they want. Except for yoga pants. I hate yoga pants with a passion. Worse than white sneakers casual wear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael drove up from Texas to visit Monica in Columbus, Ohio. He contacted me to see if I was available to ride. No way was I going to pass up a chance to cruise around with a fellow forum member and his friend.! They both drove up from Columbus yesterday afternoon (over 2 hours away) and we all met at International Park in downtown Toledo. Michael will be sharing his footage soon. From what I saw his video shots were excellent! Thanks Michael and Monica! It was a true pleasure to ride with you both! Great people and so much fun! Group rides are fun, huh I still can't ride thin ledges like Michael - I get psyched out Did you get a chance to try the MSuper? What did you think of it? I can't remember if you've ridden an MSuper before. You're supposed to ride the wheel, not carry it Thanks for the video - always nice to see where and how other people ride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WARPed1701D Posted September 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) An ad-hoc attempt to record my journey home from work. Stuck the phone in my shirt breast pocket! Unfortunately the straps from my pack twisted it to the left meaning you are airways looking about 30 degrees in that direction and you miss all of the waterfront views that much of my journey has (to the right when going home). Still, you get to see the marina near the start and the Bayou at the end and a lot of park and rich peoples homes for the rest. It was slower going for most the ride as I was depleting the battery for another logged full charge by the charge doctor. Don't want to overcook it with 10‰ battery. I'll try to make a forward facing video soon so you can see what's coming rather than what's to my left! I also want to overlay GPS data and add music but didn't seem worth the effort given the awkwark shot angle. Taken using a 4 year old Sony Xperia Z Ultra (has a crap camera) with no image stabilization. Welcome to St. Pete, FL.

LanghamP Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I dislike comparisons between wheels that are pretty similar such as the KS18 vs MSuper, or KS vs other 16 inch wheels. That's not how I buy wheels! I buy them by usage. For example, an IPS i5 versus various 16 or 18 inch wheels makes a lot of sense. The reviewer is essentially saying if you buy an i5/MSuper then you get to do these things but at the cost of these other things. I've enjoyed all her videos. I would like to see her do a 14 vs 16 vs 18 inch comparison. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
