  • Automation can run apps, you just need to specify an activity too. Usually it's the Main activity if you just want to run the app normally.

  • Rugged phones tend to be quite shit, honestly. Unless you need an actual specialised device, you're better off getting whatever phone you like (with some water resistance) and a good case and screen protector.

  • There's an app "Automation" on F-Droid. Looks retro af but should be able to do this.

  • It doesn't. Some tag system is in the making.

  • This scene made me wonder how effective recycling is in Trek. If a pocket watch can be recycled to make a meal or boots, well damn, that's like 500% effectiveness?

    So they can make new shuttles just by recycling old shuttles or anything else, and always have more shit left over.

  • 7 hours and I still didn't find a good retort. Guess you have a point

  • Most people browse with Chrome and possibly with Google's DNS, so this really doesn't make any difference from a privacy standpoint.

  • This is behaviour that gets you killed. Musk may be rich, but not "weapons manufacturer" or "oil magnate" powerful.

  • You may participate, but you're categorically disqualified from picking the next picture

  • Right, I forgot how odd it seemed to me to keep hearing "yes, master" in tcw... But "yes, mistress" still hits different

  • The aliens in the Three-body Problem trilogy are never described, but the unofficial sequel, Redemption of Time, retroactively describes them as bugs with some hive mind, I think. It's interesting to go back to the trilogy with that in mind, as it really makes a lot of sense.

    Dragon's Egg apparently has some hyperintelligent bug-like creatures that live on a neutron star in an accelerated time frame. I hear it's a good book, haven't gotten to it yet.

    And I think The Chessmen of Mars has some spider-like things... I.e. aliens that look like spiders with large heads.

  • You need to use lower power on the microwave.

  • I'm a poor person, I know a lot about how food lasts beyond expiry dates.

    There's being overly afraid of going past best-by date, and there's being stupid by eating 2 weeks old leftovers from the fridge.

    After 5 days I wouldn't eat anything opened or already cooked from the fridge that isn't naturally preserved (like cheese or sour cream). Things go bad in the fridge too.

    I've not tried 2 weeks old rice, and I don't want to. You want to keep something edible more than a few days, that's what the freezer is for.

  • Right, salmonella isn't the thing to worry about cooked food. But other things are if you keep leftovers for a week or two.

  • I agree with day or two tops, but the microwave/pan thing I see completely the opposite way. Microwave is ok to heat up eggs, while refrying in a pan you are likely to dry them up and it just can't be the same the 2nd time.

  • A week or two for leftovers? How are you not dead of salmonella. Eggs are good for maybe 2 days in a fridge.

  • I've used it a lot especially when console gaming and using my phone for Discord chat. So even tho I use BT earphones more often, it's useful to have.

    USB dongles are unacceptable because I use magnetic cables, and USB ports are notoriously prone to breaking, making the whole phone useless.

    Gimme a phone with 2 USB ports and I won't care about a headphone jack that much.
