Cerekk posted:help my phone is displaying the time even though I did not explictly install a clock app! I can tell you haven't used an Android phone because that's just one of eight redundant or abandoned Google messaging apps so it's perfectly understandable to want to ditch it

Why do . so many ! posts , on other forums ? have weird spacing . around punctuation , all of a sudden ! Did Android phones ship an awful keyboard update? Did somebody mess up escape character handling in their app's input entry box?

Google Photo backup somehow got turned on on my wife's phone and it immediately maxed out my storage plan, so Google threatened to disable my Gmail account Google Photo does not provide a way to bulk delete photos gently caress me that is downright evil. I can either pay $7 to use somebody's Google Photo Delete extension or run a script that selects all visible photos on the screen and asks to delete them so at least it's semi-automated

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:I keep a solid block of nutrients in my kitchen, on my dining table. It is brownish gray or grayish brown in color. It sits on my dining table, approximately 4 feet long by three feet wide, and three feet high. I could jack at it with a knife. I could dig at it with a spoon. Merely mix it with some water, this brick could keep me alive for months. ah, you're one of those macros dudes

The_Franz posted:I never understood the whole mad dash to be on the plane first. The longer you can go without being crammed into a tight, uncomfortable place, the better. You have your ticket and seat assignment, it's not like they just let people onto the plane until it's full then "welp, too bad". The only thing is that the overhead bins fill up and there might not be space for your carry-on luggage if you wait until the end, but you can just gate-check your bag instead. A couple things I've noticed: 1) Airline staff lie and will say overhead bag space is full when it's very much not. They'll even do this early in the boarding process. 9/10 times I call their bluff and am able to stow my bag just fine 2) Gate check is becoming less and less common. On the occasions where I have needed to check my carry-on, it's meant waiting an extra 45 minutes+ to pick it up at baggage claim That being said, the pro choice is absolutely to relax and wait until boarding is nearly complete to board the plane. On my last flight the staff were offering early boarding to people who voluntarily checked their carry-ons - that's a punishment, not a reward.

StrangersInTheNight posted:Public transit is a great good, but public transit in the US is made purposefully bad to turn people off to the idea of it, and boy howdy does it loving work. You couldn't pay me enough to go back to waiting on the train platform for 20 minutes for the loving thing to show up, and then cramming my sweaty meaty body next to everyone else's bc it's taken so long there's no fuckin space. All while getting to hear everyone's music clashing together bc the percentage of people with good headphones is lower than you think, and some people just straight up dont use them and just treat their phone like a boombox. That aspect isn’t any different in populated areas outside the US

Discord is pretty firmly in the process of densifying itself with advertisements to juice money out of folks now that they're over their growth phase. It's actively unpleasant to use

ProperCauldron posted:Last few days Youtube app on my TV has been showing longer ads, they're now mostly 60 or 45 seconds. The worst part is that they are incredibly loud, much louder than whatever vid. Fun fact there is no upper limit on YouTube ads so they’re allowed to run for an hour

Cactus Ghost posted:nobody, standers or walkers, gives a poo poo about maximizing overall average throughput. they give a poo poo about themselves taking as few steps as possible, and getting themselves to the top as fast as possible, respectively. if there's one thing that standers and walkers can agree on it's shut up nerd Whatever discipline that figures this stuff out is just as fake as economics if they’re looking at solutions that depend on people being rational and concerned with maximizing average utility

blackmet posted:Especially for things I barely care about in the first place. I, too, wish I could opt to ditch 2FA for things I don’t give the slightest gently caress about securing beyond using a complex auto-generated password. I think this is happening because of a couple things: everybody’s trying to roll some dumbass payment system into their random app so it’s not just coupons but a way to pay for your groceries, and it cuts down on the support requests from people who enter “truck64” as their password to every single account they have.

It would be nice to have the kind of time to be able to keep up with music scenes but it’s really silly to say that streaming apps aren’t for folks who like music

SIDS is impossible to seriously study because oftentimes it’s a diagnosis given out of courtesy because “the parents have suffered enough” and nobody wants to say it’s because they put their kid to sleep inside of a laundry hamper

MassTran posted:I don't want to get too into this derail but below is a short summary article on the subject. The tl;dr, the waking mechanism in babies who die of SIDS doesn't work properly so if they stop breathing in their sleep they just die and no it is not a "the parents clearly beat the child" disease what in the world goons You’re confused by what people are saying. SIDS is a term given to any idiopathic death for an infant. Some portion of SIDS deaths are caused by issues like this. Another portion are caused by unsafe sleep practices or some other form of willful or accidental neglect. The figures vary wildly around the world because it’s an umbrella term for so many things.

My kid’s physical therapist wanted me to write down my credit card info and mail it to them Our hospital said we had to come in person to pay a bill because their “payment system had been down for 8 weeks” and our response was just “hope you guys get that fixed so we can pay our $25 online” Like of all things don’t make it hard for people to give you money lol Fallom fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Aug 22, 2024 |
