Ask Mr. Modem

Upload Video from iPhone to A glory hole is a hole in a wall, or other partition, often between public lavatory stalls or adult video arcade booths for people to engage in sexual activity or observe the person in the next cubicle while one or both parties masturbate. Most consumers of bisexual pornography do not identify as gay. Weather Report Girl is considered yuri hentai in English usage for its depiction of lesbian sex, but in Japan it is just yuri. Spanking or whipping pornography free celebrity sex video involves spanking or whipping, generally of the buttocks, with the hand or with other objects such as belts, switches, paddles, brushes, or whips. In September 2003 the BBC reported on the new dogging craze. Pegging is a recently invented word which features a woman penetrating a man with a strap-on dildo. This is commonly called double anal or double stuffing. In general, softcore pornography is pornography that does not depict explicit sexual activity, sexual penetration or extreme fetishism. The surfacing of sex tapes has become so common that some are leaked as a marketing tool to advance or establish a media career. Interest in BDSM can range from one-time experimentation to a lifestyle. In some areas, there are laws stating it is not legally possible to consent to be killed, and elsewhere it may still be legally dubious . BDSM pornography depicts bondage and discipline, domination and submission, sadism and masochism. The most common depiction of a hermaphrodite is a person with a female face, breasts, and build, and a penis , although there are other combinations.

Erotic spanking is the act of spanking another person for the sexual arousal or gratification of either or both parties. The padding may also muffle noises from the outside, causing a relaxation effect and heightening their other senses. YouTube

    Some “experts” recommend that  flash or thumb drives not be left in a computer when not being used, but having used flash drives since they first arrived on the digital scene, I have never experienced any problem leaving them inserted. And that way I know where the drive is, as well. 

    Q.  How can I upload a video from my iPhone or iPad to YouTube? Do I have to save it to my computer first and if so, in what format?

    A.  If you create a video using your iPhone or iPad, you do not need to save it to a computer in order to place it on YouTube. Simply tap the Send button (the square with a little arrow), then tap the YouTube option.

     

    Q.  Sometimes I long for the days of the floppy disc because they had labels on which I could write the disk's contents. These days I use several USB flash drives which are too small to write anything on. How do you keep track of the contents on your flash drives, Mr. M? 

    A.  I use different flash drives for different purposes so I don't really have any need to label the contents in any specific manner on the exterior of the drive. For example, I have one flash drive that I use for backing up documents, one that I use for Quicken backups, a drive that I use for photos and one for music backups. When I insert a drive into a USB port, I can then easily view its contents.

    Because I primarily work with documents, that's the flash drive that I leave plugged into the USB port most of the time. I use Quicken on another computer, so that flash drive resides in one of that system's USB ports. The photo and music flash drives I insert as needed. Some “experts” recommend that  flash or thumb drives not be left in a computer when not being used, but having used flash drives since they first arrived on the digital scene, I have never experienced any problem leaving them inserted. And that way I know where the drive is, as well.

    I generally purchase different color flash drives or at least flash drives that don't look identical, which makes it even easier to keep track of what's what.

     

    Q.  When I move the cursor on my laptop over the icon that lets me know whether the laptop is plugged in, a bubble pops up that shows “94 percent available. Plugged in, not charging.” Shouldn't the battery be charging?

    A.  It's possible that your particular battery won't begin to charge until it is at a certain level, such as below 50% or 25% capacity. Plus, depending on the type of battery, you may not want small, partial charges because the battery may only have X number of charging cycles. If that's the case, it doesn't matter whether you charge it 10% or 90%, both count as one charge cycle, so the fact that it's not charging could be to protect you from wasting finite charge cycles.

    For a truly definitive answer as it relates to your specific computer/battery, I would recommend contacting the manufacturer of your laptop through its Web site Support area. In the alternative, look at your battery, note the brand, type or model number, then go to the manufacturer's Web site where specific charging details and recommendations will be available.

    The acronym CRAYON, stands for “CReAte Your Own Newspaper,” the name of one of the longest running sites on the Web, having made its debut in March 1995 -- long before many people even heard of the Internet.

    NIH Senior Health

    The National Institute of Health’s site for Senior Health information. I particularly like this site because it was designed for mature eyeballs, meaning the font is easily changed to something more readable. You can even change contrast colors to make it easier to read. The menu at the top of the page contains Health Topics A-Z and Video A-Z, from which you can select subjects or videos of interest.
