I went from a note 3 to an s7. Like you I never really utilized the stylus, and even though I had 3 extra batteries for my note, I'm still mostly ok with the tradeoff.

The size of the phones is nearly identical.

As you mention, the only thing that I dislike is not having a hardware menu key.. but it's worth looking into as a decent replacement phone.

I think you know this, but they're all still sleeping.

In this particular case you're comparing apples to oranges.

Shotguns are very different from a standard .38

First is the obvious difference in projectiles, which can make a huge difference.

Second the .38 (in all likelihood) was a pistol, whereas a shotgun is the length of a rifle. A pistol you can hold it to the side of your head and pull the trigger.. you can't really do this well with a shotgun, which means you're more than likely going to put the gun under your chin and try to get to your brain the long way.

It's somewhat logical that someone might need to shoot themselves twice with a shotgun, not so much with a .38.

While this makes perfect sense and works great in the rest of the world, ID numbers in the US have been talked about, but have faced resistance from two groups.. those that think that this is somehow an invasion of privacy, and those that think that this somehow correlates with the 'mark of the beast' and signals the end of humanity according to the bible. (not joking)

i.e. - facebook wants to be paid by advertisers instead of being a free promotion platform.

Really it makes sense all around though, and you have to wonder what took them so long.

So you read the part where it said he does many speeches for free yet decided it worthwhile to create an estimate that you know doesn't align with reality and draw conclusions from it?

According to her e-mails and public statements, I believe you are speaking about Hillary Rodham Clinton.

You're definitely an outlier though, and no one is saying that it's not possible, it's just that the interface of a tablet (or lack thereof) presents an un-necessary hurdle that needs to be overcome.

My company is responsible for a number of different school districts, and I've seen this happen at all of them, despite them being warned about the outcome beforehand.

I have no idea how he came up with his rant either. The article says little to nothing along the lines of what he claims.

Only at the end of the article, someone else other than the author is quoted as saying that negative health outcomes can't be blamed on just your gut biome, but poor lifestyle choices as well.

Somehow this guy took this one statement, which is wholly correct and only points out the obvious, and turned it around to interpret the entire article as fat-shaming, and somehow misses the article's main purpose which is the lack of diversity in current data comparisons in this area of research.

I don't think you read the article.

The author says exactly what you're saying. They're pointing out that it's not so much what you're putting into your body as what you're comparing it to, and right now we're not comparing it to large enough or a diverse enough samples of the population.
