According to this article his stomach and intestines had unusual thick lining and strong gastric acids, so maybe they were not so bad.

I get why he is lister as screenwriter for various works, but as an actor I think that's totally wrong.

A rant about an experience I had with Google maps today. in c/[email protected]

This morning my colleague was sent to a school she didn't know, so she used GMaps to get the directions. She parked her car, but wasn't able to find the school. She called me and we found out that GMaps sent her almost 1km away from her destination. I gave her the correct address and she was able to find the place, but she was late for work (no big deal anyway). After further inspection, I found out that the school was mapped as an insurance office. I suspect it's a case of vandalism, but who knows.

The way this is written out really irks me. in c/[email protected]

My main issue with browser PDF reading is that I can't compile and apply my signature on PDF with them, which are the main reasons I'm still using Foxit.

Google released this weather feature inside google maps, only on iPhones over 4 years ago. Is it ever coming to Android? in c/[email protected]

Have you ever tried something based on OpenStreetMap? Apps like Organic Maps or OsmAnd are really useful and work offline too.
