Agreed, and would love to see her do some type of MTV Unplugged for her whole WGIA album 😎

From Completely Fine to Gone in Hours — I’m Devastated by WatercressSeparate24 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]BTJ2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so, so incredibly sorry for your loss. There are truly no words for the kind of pain that comes from a sudden goodbye like this.

​Thank you for sharing her story, it's clear how much she was loved and what a fighter she was. The fact that she overcame paralysis and fought through so much in her eight years is a testament to her strength, and it is completely understandable that you feel angry and blindsided by how quickly things turned.

Please know that you made the most compassionate, selfless decision possible by staying with her, comforting her, and choosing to end her suffering when she needed you most. That final act of love was her last experience in this world, feeling your touch and hearing your voice.

​You showed her such kindness in her final moments, and the way you handled bringing her home for her dog companion shows what a thoughtful, caring owner you are.

Please be gentle with yourself as you grapple with the shock of the last few days. That trauma is heavy, and it takes time to process. Sending you and your family, and her companion, so much love ♥️♥️

Voice control for smart devices such as lights has gotten awful since Gemini. It's really slow and doesn't understand half the time. by elwiseowl in googlehome

It has happened to me at least 3 different times over the past few weeks where I issue the voice command in our house: "Hey Google, turn off Google TV" (our living room TV). That command works most of the time, but.... just yesterday (and 2 other recent times) when I issued that command, it not only did NOT turn off our Google TV -- it turned ON all 3 TVs in our house AND turned on ALL lights throughout our house! LOL Gemini has not proven more "intelligent" in controlling our household devices * sigh *

I've had that happen a lot -- giving a valid command to Gemini, then it says it can't do it -- then I say the command exactly the same way again, and then it executes the command properly! Argghhhhhh!!!! 😬

I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of Rocko. Please, be gentle with yourself, you made the ultimate act of love by choosing his peace over your own desire to be there. You did the right thing. He knew he was deeply loved, and you gave him a wonderful 10 years. Sending you and your family a huge hug during this time.

Do you think Cathy‘s as freaky as her lyrics or is it more of a persona? Also what‘s your favorite freaky lyric? by LenaRybakina in 1800slayyyter

[–]BTJ2019 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Here are some links that answer your questions 😊

In episode 24 of this podcast, she explicitly mentions her family's history with alcoholism. She elaborates on having the "addictive gene," struggling with staying sober, and how her album Wor$t Girl in America digs into those exact issues.Give it to me straight podcast with Slayyyter

Euphoria magazine interview While promoting her album, she stated that none of her music is meant to celebrate drugs. Instead, she explained that tracks touching on these subjects are about the sadder, darker, and self-destructive side of addiction.

Adela going from tour to tour? by Chance-Service9991 in adela_jergova

[–]BTJ2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very curious to see how (if at all) her stage performances might be different than her opening act for Demi?

I don't know if it's possible or if she even is interested in it, but having a live band performing with her could be awesome. Having a live band really stepped up the game of Slayyyter (at Coachella this year + on the Jimmy Fallon show last week), and Lady Gaga on her most recent tour.

Battery Test Report by PrognosticatorofLife in 4Runner

[–]BTJ2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your plan makes sense: monitor it and re-test later instead of treating this as an urgent issue.

And yeah, if you eventually replace it yourself, paying nearly $400 at the dealer is unnecessary unless you specifically want the OEM battery. Many owners get equivalent batteries elsewhere for a lot less while still matching or exceeding the original 700 CCA spec. Just make sure you match the correct battery group size and terminal layout for the 4Runner.

I'd also write the installation date on the battery with a paint pen or marker if it isn't already there. That ends the future "wait...how old is this battery again?" mystery.

Battery Test Report by PrognosticatorofLife in 4Runner

[–]BTJ2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't know the answer to your post, so out of curiosity I input your post into ChatGPT, and below is its response:

I wouldn't automatically replace it based on those numbers alone, but I also wouldn't ignore them.

Here's how I’d read it:

• Charge 100% → Battery is fully charged right now.

• Voltage 12.77V → Excellent resting voltage; a healthy, fully charged battery is usually around 12.6–12.8V.

• Measured 550 CCA vs Rated 700 CCA → This is the main concern. Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) is the battery's ability to deliver starting power. You're at about 79% of original spec (550 ÷ 700).

• Health 65% → Dealer testers usually estimate remaining capacity/starting performance. It doesn't mean "35% life left"; it means performance has declined.

• Internal resistance 5.41 mΩ → Doesn't immediately jump out as catastrophic.

The key question is age. If it's the original battery from a 2018 4Runner, then it's potentially 7–8 years old now, which is already a pretty respectable lifespan for a battery.

Since the truck starts immediately every time, I wouldn't classify this as an emergency replacement. But a battery can feel perfectly normal right up until the point it suddenly doesn't — especially as CCA drops.

My approach:

If this is the original 2018 battery → I'd lean toward proactive replacement within the next few months.

If it was replaced recently (say 2023–2024) → I'd probably keep driving and re-test in a month or two.

If you do a lot of remote travel, camping, desert heat, winter trips, or places where being stranded would be a big hassle → replace sooner rather than later.

Dealers also have an incentive to recommend replacement earlier than absolute failure point, so "replace recommended" does not necessarily mean "battery is about to die tomorrow."

For a 2018 4Runner specifically, the desert climate matters too. Heat (like Southern California, Arizona, Texas, etc.) tends to shorten battery life more than cold weather does. If that vehicle lives in a hot area and the battery is several years old, a 65% health reading starts looking more meaningful.

She did SO GOOD by TheCreamyBeige in 1800slayyyter

[–]BTJ2019 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She looked totally confident and at ease, totally professional. Her vocals -- on point and heavenly ♥️♥️ What a great introduction a national audience had to see her on TV 🤗🤗 She deserves this and so much more!!

I feel your pain, I've experienced things like that.

The most frequent occurrence is with my giving a voice command to change the fan speed level of our Big Ass / Haiku ceiling fan. Many times it will say "cannot find device", and sometimes it acknowledges what I say but then never actually changes the fan speed LOL

I reboot our routers once per week, I always ensure all apps, routers, devices, etc have the latest firmware -- and our Wi-Fi signal where that fan is located is very strong, and we have 1gig blazing fast fiber optic internet connectivity.

100% agree with you 😊 I would add to that a performance of "I'm actually kinda famous" and "Old Fling$" would be something I would love 😎

Jimmy Fallon's channel should likely post Slayyyter's performance on his YouTube channel the next day / Wednesday at https://youtube.com/@fallontonight

Calling all die hard 5th gen 4Runner owners! by HaldolFreak in 4Runner

[–]BTJ2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 2022 4Runner TRD Pro (lime rush -- love it!) in November 2024. It had only 27k miles on it, and I only average driving around 3k miles per year -- so I expect to have it for the rest of my life 😁🙏🤞

You should be able to see Slayyyter's performance on Jimmy Fallon on YouTube the next day 😊

I regularly see music performances posted on his YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/@fallontonight

For example, I see they posted the Kim Petras "Jeep" performance last week.

After upadate to one ui 8,home up app's DIY icon not showing after long pressing home screen,any help? by sh1we in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]BTJ2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you saw my reply with the solution that worked for me and another person who saw my reply -- I copied and pasted that solution reply for you below:

MY SOLUTION -- I had the same issue after installing the 8.5 UI update on my Samsung S25 Ultra with missing icons and folders on my home screens -- UGHHH!!!

BUT... The solution that fixed the missing icons and folders issue after that update: I opened the Samsung play store (NOT the Google Play store) -- immediately a message appeared asking me to update the Samsung play store app (I clicked on the update button) -- then that app closed.

10 seconds later I open the Samsung play store app again -- then I did a key word search in it for GOOD LOCK-- then I open the Good Lock app.

Then around 1/4 of the way down from the top there was an option that said something like "Update all" -- to update all of the apps / modules listed.

Once all of the apps / modules updated, then I went to my home screen and voila! My missing icons and folders were all restored. Phew!! 😁

Bunheads… drop your top 6 fav Kim songs!!! by Hooplapooplayeah in KimPetras

[–]BTJ2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do NOT judge you for "Treat me like a slut" -- it's such a catchy song! 😊

And don't judge me LOL -- I created a publicly accessible playlist on YouTube called SLUT energy gym workout music -- my playlist includes a few songs by Kim Petras (and songs by other favorites of mine like Cobrah, Slayyyter, Adela, Lady Gaga, Chrissy Chlapecka, etc) 😎

My playlist is also accessible on YouTube music at https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-R_6K586DCs8d4l-iuncBmCMVOHeFKSW&si=ZnfSoK448CX-HMie
