How to Use Face ID on Your iPhone While Wearing a Mask
“‘Face ID is designed to work with your eyes, nose, and mouth visible,’ according to Apple. If you’re wearing a mask in the grocery store and other public places, that’s a problem. Here’s what you need to know about unlocking your iPhone with Face ID while wearing a mask.”
What Is Discernment?
“Most of us doubtless want to distance ourselves from what might be regarded as “the lunatic fringe” of contemporary Christianity. We are on our guard against being led astray by false teachers. But there is more to discernment than this.

Walmart is piloting a pricier 2-hour Express grocery delivery service
“Record usage of grocery delivery services amid the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delayed orders, fewer open delivery windows and, on occasion, an inability to even book a delivery time slot. Walmart now hopes to capitalize on the increased demand for speedier delivery with the introduction of a new service that allows consumers to pay to get to the front of the line. The retailer confirmed today it’s launching a new Walmart Grocery service called ‘Express,’ which promises orders in two hours or less for an upcharge of $10 on top of the usual delivery fee.”

Unmoored from the usual rhythms of our daily lives, time feels elastic, stretching infinitely ahead and then, without warning, snapping back.”
