    Does Motorola not have software where you can just connect your old phone and transfer everything over similar to a Samsung or Pixel device? 

    they used to.  you could just set phone on top of the other one and it would transfer everything.  I did that with the 1st and 2nd gen of motoX phones.

    If you have succumbed to goolge, that + the text app will move most of what you need over.  

    You can set the Google photos app to upload all your pictures; either as they are taken or when wifi is available.  The contacts should have the same thing.  If you are not seeing them in the through google photos, the check that setting.

    The fact that their rankings have been completely flipped upside down in one week of football tells you all you need to know.

    Oh and UNT being ranked higher than a Jimbo Fisher coached SEC team. Ridonk.

    This is just so aggy.  They are way more concerned/proud of being in the SEC with a coach that made his name at another school.  This slapdick does not even mention his school, but lauds their conf and merc coach.  They must go to bed and close their eyes and pray that being near success will finally rub off on them one day.

    Problem is, those are not the "equations" used in the problem.

    You have

    1 + 4 = 5 (this one is the same as the FB problem)

    4 + 8 = 12 (not the same)

    9 + 12 = 21 (not the same)

     

    I think you messed up by trying to apply proper math to a stupid FB meme when reality has no place in this sort of discussion.

    The correct answer as originally stated is '34'.

     

    Take the result of the previous line, add the two numbers on the LHS of the equation on the next line to get the answer

    i.e.

    5 + 2 + 5 = 12

    12 + 3 + 6 = 21

    21 + 5 + 8 = 34

    QED

    agree it's stupid to apply proper math the fb, but hold my beer.  the equation works.  I do not have 4+8=12 or 9+12=21

    line 1 from the stupid piece of paper

    - 1+4=5; n=1 so plug 1 into the equation n^2+4n and you get 5

    - 2+5=12; n=2 so plug 2 into equation n^2+4n and you get 12

    - 3+6=21; n=3 so plug 3 into equation n^2+4n and you get 21

    if you assume the answer to 5+8 is 34 by using the number from above, then yes, the equation breaks down because a number in the series was skipped.  If you assume that the question is asking to extrapolate based on the previous equations then the answer is 45 because there was not a 0+3=0 equation at the beginning.  Thus ends late night drunk belligerent maths

    What investigation is needed? If you can’t handle the complexity of multiple floors at your own apartment complex, you don’t deserve a badge and gun. It’s a pretty easy qualifier.

    agree.  that's the point.  an off-duty murder/manslaughter and you don't get to keep your job as a gun toting civil servant regardless of any trial
