That's really sad. Does she know if there's a genetic cause that could affect your child as well?

Didnt have any children with my 2nd wife.

Funny things can happen to an interpreter. Situation a hospital discharge , the nurse asked me if I am going home with the deaf patient

I giggled and said, No.

I learned that Hulu won't stream new TV shows for free anymore. $7.99 with commercials and $11.99 without commercials.

Phone caused card to fail.

I know magnets may cause a card to fail, but what is the explanation with a phone?

A bit newer from 2015

It could happen but there's other reasons for potential failure too...

Yeah. I did read the MythBusters article after asking the question to Reba. Very interesting. I think the Hotels are just looking to deflect blame?

What about a magnetic latch on a combination card case / phone case?

 

[Cappy]

What about a magnetic latch on a combination card case / phone case?

That is one possibility, but from one of the articles provided by DD, during a testing..they made sure there was no magnetization within the phone case. And it passed. I actually think, it has a lot to do with hotels using the cheaper cards and readers topped with the hotels re-writing, over-writing the stripes more than allowed. We never hear this issue with debit/credit/gift cards..no?

I learned 3.14159 does not, in fact, mean delicious pie. This is the end of the world as we know it.

I didn't realize people used Hulu. I watch everything on the internet free. I guess if you need subtitles it may be hard to find.

I learned that access is an issue. I guess I always knew it was an issue but never really thought about it.
