I gotta replay this game, it was a lot of fun. Long after the Wii was considered old, I bought one just for this, played Twilight Princess once, and haven’t touched my Wii since.

A few years ago I decided to try the lithium-ion UPSs. I’m on my 3rd year with them, and I will never go back to lead acid. I’ve got one “classic” UPS that is still in good shape as long as you don’t try to run more than 100w from it, but when it goes, it goes.

These use the LiFePO4 batteries, and I get close to twice the runtime as my old ones, and they don’t drop from 80% to 10% like lead acids do. The battery chemistry is also good for about 10 years of daily cycling, so assuming the electronics hold out, they seem like they’ll last.

The only hiccup with the model I got is it doesn’t have a serial monitor connection, but you can probably fine plenty that have it.

Also nice pun!

Took me a smidge more than a second, but I finally got it. Well played, OP.

Peak lemmy right here. "No good news goes uncriticized. "

Nope.

We live in a society, and as far as I’m concerned, stealing the person behind you’s very limited leg room is selfish.

You can’t uninstall Play services once it’s installed (or if you’re on a stock ROM where it’s “baked in”), but you can disable it. Apps -> Set option to “show system” -> Google Play Services -> Disable

Will it crash as soon as I uninstall it?

No. However, you won’t be able to use most Google apps and RCS messaging and anything that relies on Google sign in or integrated Google Maps will not work.

You’ll also get hammered with “Google Play Services are unavailable” notifications from SO MANY APPS. Most of those, you can go into the app’s notifications and disable the alert for “Play Services Availability”. The only one I can’t disable on my phone is from Android Setup, but it only pops up once after a reboot.

Some apps depend on it more than others. Some will just complain that Play Services aren’t available but otherwise work just the same, but others will lose some functionality depending on how they use those services. For example, my bank app still works but complains Play Services isn’t enabled.

Most apps that depend on Play Services use it for notifications. So, with my bank app, I no longer receive transaction notifications. I can live without those, though, but some people may not be able to.

Can I have Android but not Play Services?

Yes. Most custom ROMs don’t include it by default or offer builds that exclude it.

Should I use MicroG? If yes, where do I download it?

You can only install MicroG or other Play Services features before booting into the phone for the first time (e.g. with custom ROMs), but you can’t just replace Play Services with MicroG.

Mine’s a nice stovetop kettle but it’s on an induction hot plate near my coffee maker. Works pretty similar to electric kettles that have the detachable bases, but I can use it on the stove if I want or use the hot plate for other things. The temperature controls on the hot plate also work really well for heating water to just under a boil.

I bought the induction hot plate to use when the power went out since I didn’t have 220v to run my stovetop, so this is how I make use of it so it’s not sitting on a shelf until the power goes out lol.

They’re all the same size, I think 8 inch? So big pans are hotter in the middle, and the outer 2-3 inches are noticeable cooler and never boil … gimme a full size induction coil

Oof, yeah that’d be a dealbreaker for me, too, with any cooktop.

given that its like 6 grand or something

Yikes. They didn’t come with an oven and cooktop attached, but I just spent 5 grand on a pair of 48v 16 KWh batteries (32 KWh total), so I guess I’ll just keep planning to use those to power my current range haha.

I was looking at that stove a while back but didn’t see any pricing at the time. Definitely interested since it could charge up and work separately from my main PV and not dip into its battery or draw a lot of current from it. I also like that it only needs 120v and gives you 220v performance because it makes up the difference from the battery.

Guessing it’s going to be a tad on the expensive side, lol.

And now, the conclusion…

Yeah, that was new to me when I read the Wikipedia page. I only knew her as a character actress from guest appearances on so many shows from the 90s and 2000s.

I’ve only seen it in a you’re selling yourself short fashion.

Yeah, that’s usually how I see it, or maybe just how I’ve always interpreted it.

A question can be a shower thought, especially if it’s a rhetorical question.

Not to mention, the Philosophical Raptor meme format is pretty much just interrogative shower thoughts

I also keep my grounds in a Mason jar.

Usually I go for ease of ingesting caffeine as quickly as possible and use a generic single-cup coffee maker.

1. Fill the reusable k-cup with grounds and put it into the coffee maker
2. Fill the coffee cup with water and pour into the tank
3. Place cup and press the power button
4. Take the dogs outside while it’s running
5. Add a splash of sweetener and/or vanilla syrup
6. Enjoy

Obviously, I’m not fancy about it at all. When I do get fancy, I’ll use the French press. Sometimes I’ll cold brew in the French press overnight but I always forget so that’s a rare treat when I do remember.

They have a lot of DRM-free options and let you download a clean epub, but like with other stores, it’s up to the publishers whether (and/or when) they can sell them without DRM BS.

I like being able to download the epubs directly so I can put them on my Calibre-web instance and pull them to my Kobo or my phone or whatever I want to read on.

74 inches it seems (just tested haha)
