    Why is it we call a dried plum a prune, a dried grape a sultana ..yet no other word for dried apricot?

    Sultana? Did I just learn what they call raisins down under?

    We have both Cee..raisins are larger in appearance..sultanas darker ..
    I found this..not sure if its 100% though as somewhere said raisins were a different grape..

    In the store I think they just call them golden raisins.

    In fifteen years, I'll be complaining to kids that they don't make memes like they used to.

    With various things in life, I either find myself giving too many *kitten* or no *kitten* at all. It's like I can't find a middle ground for moderate *kitten* distribution.

    With the rise in popularity of extra long phone charging cables, we've come full circle. We once again have tethered our phones to the wall.

    When I was a child, I thought that mistaking fools gold for real gold would be a bigger problem than it actually is.

    Cell phone cords were designed to be short because you're technically not supposed to use them while they charge

    Is this your phone?

    Myth: You shouldn't use your phone while it charges.

    The truth: Use it all you want, as long as you're not using a sketchy third-party charger.

    There are scary reasons behind this myth. People believe that using a phone while charging will make the phone explode, or electrocute the user. That actually happened to a Chinese flight attendant named Ma Ailun in July 2013, when she used her iPhone 4 while it was charging.

    However, reports say it's because Ailun was using a third-party charger, not an original Apple charger.

    If you're using the manufacturer-approved charger and battery, you should be fine.

    This is because the newer major brand phones like Samsung and Apple use a Lithium-ion battery.

    Early cell phone batteries were Nickel Metal Hydride, otherwise known as NiMH, which began in use during the later 1990s. It was non-toxic and had fewer problems with the memory effect issues. Plus, it was a thinner battery that weighed less, could be recharged in a shorter timeframe, and let users talk longer before they died.

    Lithium Ion Batteries Next in line were the lithium Ion batteries, which are still in use today. They are thinner and lighter still and last the longest of the others as well. Plus, it takes even less time to charge them too. They can be made into many different shapes meeseeksanddestroy is a thespian and sizes to fit different styles of cell phones so any company can use them in their mobile devices.

    Plus, there is NO memory effect to worry about, so they last longer and can be recharged multiple times. They are also safe for the environment, unlike the earlier cell phone batteries. They are, however; much more expensive than the older battery models, but that is the trade off for a more efficient cell phone battery.

    Edited.

    At either end of life is owning your world or filling yourself. Most people live comfortably in the middle, but it is always best to move towards the former than the latter.

    When I hear the phrase "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" I assume pizza is really bad in their area.
