Bae Season: Netflix Makes #NetflixAndChill Button That Dims Lights And Activates Your Phone’s Do Not Disturb

Netflix Makes Netflix And Chill Button That Dims Lights Netflix & chill is always a good idea but the good people at Netflix just made that special night even more easier! Via Engadget : At the 2015 World Maker Faire this weekend, the company unveiled its prototype and instructions for a big button that it calls “The Switch.” When you hit it, The Switch dims the lights, activates your phone’s Do Not Disturb feature and gets Netflix ready for the streaming ahead. Think of it as a Netflix and Chill button, but with maybe less Chill. The Netflix Switch is powered by a Particle Core, an Arduino-compatible development kit that features on-board WiFi. There’s also a battery, a bunch of LEDs and an IR transmitter that mimics the IR signal found on Netflix-compatible TVs. Netflix lists everything you need (including Philips’ Hue lighting system), but you’ll want to have a basic understanding of electronics, web servers and how APIs work before getting started. If the project is a little out of your reach, the good news is that Netflix is taking proposals for its next build. Just head over to the “Make It” site and share your suggestion in the relevant box. Check out how the button works below… Would you cop the #NetflixAndChill button??

Yuck On Yuck: Vomit-Filled Bag Left On Flight Spills All Over California Couple Returning From Hawaii

Vomit-Filled Bag Left On Flight Spills All Over California Couple A California couple returning from a romantic anniversary trip in Hawaii came across a disgusting surprise after taking their seats on the plane ride back… Via HuffPo : On a United Airlines flight home from an anniversary trip with her husband, Janet Masters discovered a vomit-filled motion sickness bag that had been wrapped in a blanket and stuffed in the seat back pocket. “I’ve seen and dealt with a lot of gross things,” Masters told CBS Sacramento. “Here’s someone’s bodily fluids that I’m being exposed to.” To make matters worse, when Masters attempted to hand the repulsive package off to a flight attendant, vomit reportedly spilled onto her and her husband. And despite a seat change, the smell stuck with them for the duration of the flight. “Smelling that smell on us and around us was just totally, totally disgusting,” Masters said. A United Airlines representative apologized to the couple, saying “our cleaners apparently failed to clean all of the seatback pockets.” The airline assured the couple that its aircraft are outfitted with appropriate cleaning kits, and gave them a $300 credit toward a future United flight. But that may not be enough to get the Masters’ on another United plane. “I’ve lost a lot of faith and trust with the airline,” Masters said. Yuck on yuck on YUCK!!! Getty

She Can’t Be Serious: Woman Fulfills Lifelong Dream To Be Blind By Having Drain Cleaner Poured In Her Eyes [Video]

White…people…crazy Woman Has Drain Cleaner Poured In Her Eyes To Go Blind A 21-year-old North Carolina woman is making international headlines after she says she fulfilled her lifelong dream with the help of acid. Jewel Shuping suffers from Body Integrity Identity Disorder, a condition that makes able bodied people feel as though they should be disabled. In Shuping’s case it made her feel like she was supposed to be blind. People reports: Ever since she was a little girl, Jewel Shuping dreamed of being blind. The North Carolina resident was born perfectly healthy, but she became so obsessed with losing her sight that at age 21, she took matters into her own hands. Shuping claims that she had a psychologist pour drain cleaner in her eyes, then waited to seek medical attention. Afterwards, she gradually lost her eyesight and is now almost completely blind, she says. “I really feel this is the way I was supposed to be born, that I should have been blind from birth,” the 30-year-old says. “When I was young, my mother would find me walking in the halls at night. When I was 3 or 4 years old,” Shuping recalls. “By the time I was 6 I remember that thinking about being blind made me feel comfortable.” Shuping acquired a white cane in her teens and could read Braille fluently by the time she was 20. As the years progressed, so did her desire to be blind. So, she decided to take matters into her own hands. “It hurt, let me tell you. My eyes were screaming and I had some drain cleaner going down my cheek burning my skin,” Shuping says. “All I could think was, ‘I am going blind, it is going to be okay.’ ” The two waited for 30 minutes before going to a hospital, where doctors worked to save Shuping’s eyesight. But the permanent damage was already done and, over the next six months, Shuping’s eyesight gradually faded. This is just bizarre. What do YOU think about this woman willingly going blind???

Uncle Toms: Ben Carson Tells NASCAR Fans The Confederate Flag Should Never Be Taken Down

Ben Carson Tells NASCAR Fans The Confederate Flag Is Ok Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson thinks NASCAR fans should be allowed to fly Confederate flags on private property, he said at an event with racing legend Richard Petty on Monday. Via SI : The controversy surrounding the flag and NASCAR reached a peak this summer when racing fans continued to fly the flag in the wake of a racially motivated killing in Charleston, S.C., when nine black churchgoers were murdered by a white man. Petty called the debate over the flag, which is considered a symbol of southern pride by many who display it at racing events, “a passing fancy.” Carson, who is the only African-American candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, said on Monday that people should be permitted to fly the flag if they want to, even if it is considered a hate symbol by many. “Swastikas are a symbol of hate for some people, too. And yet they still exist in museums and places like that,” Carson told the Associated Press. “If it’s a majority of people in that area who want it to fly, I certainly wouldn’t take it down.” Petty, who retired from racing in 1992, informally endorsed Carson and called him “very humane.” Really?!?
