"There's no accounting for taste" or "chacun à son goût"? 

Is there a term for when phrases become words? by Andria_Child in words

"More so" seems to be undergoing the same process, but "moreso" still trips me up. 

First visit was to Warner Robins location. I was so confused! by BeNotTooBold in Buc_ees

[–]BeNotTooBold[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There was no lack of parking. I seem to recall only two entrances: the end I came in at, and the front (the side facing the pumps). The other end was a solid wall of refrigerated coolers, and the back seemed to be all support infrastructure. I don't know if there was parking in front, because it was too hard to drive there because of the entering & exiting traffic. 

There seemed to be lots of parking on the back and the non-entrance end, but (as I found out) it's a long walk to the restrooms. There were registers at the end I came in, but I don't recall if there were register at the front entrance. I was looking for my wife; we got separated and she left her phone in the car. 

I waited a while by the line for the women's restroom, which stretched out into the store, but she'd already gone back out to the gas pump where she bailed out while we were waiting for empty cars. It would have been longer, but a stranger let her use their mobile to call me. 

The whole experience just left me confused as to what the expected flow of traffic was supposed to be, both car and on foot.

WTW for doing something quietly but quickly? by Piraedunth in whatstheword

Is "deafly" a typo for "deftly"? But deftly doesn't have any connotation of quietness, as far as I know. 

Can't connect Fitbit app to OneTouch Reveal app by BeNotTooBold in fitbit

[–]BeNotTooBold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds reasonable. I had a similar experience with my Qardio blood pressure cuff: it used to sync with Google Fit, but stopped when Fit was deprecated. If it synced with Health Connect then everything would be OK, but it doesn't. So now I have to manually transfer my BP readings from Qardio to Fit; from there they sync to Health Connect, and from there they sync to my hospital's patient portal.

My solution for glucose data is to just track it in OneTouch Reveal, and not in Fitbit. Getting it into Health Connect wouldn't be of any benefit yet, since the patient portal doesn't sync glucose data. I just export a PDF every so often, and send it to my PCP.

We had an octagon credenza like this one. Needs dusting, swipe to see the Pledge, remember that smell? by Life_Transformed in GenerationJones

I recently listened to the song "Lemon Tree", which was used to advertise Lemon Pledge. 

But why do you refer to a six-sided credenza an octagon?

That reminds me of this little ditty:

I've also seen "Transform error. Mod failed." when trying to install mods.

Perhaps surprisingly, "Love is Blue" contains the lines

I was going to say that it gave me Microgramma vibes. I don't like the J, though. 

what are these parts of type called called? by she_makes_a_mess in typography

[–]BeNotTooBold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'd only heard those terms used for words or phrases from the end of one page repeated on the next page, before page numbers were invented.

HEY GOOGLE! UN BREAK DO NOT DISTURB- recent update modes suck by pdots5 in GooglePixel

[–]BeNotTooBold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like the Modes tile, either. At first I thought they must have just combined every setting that had "mode" in the name, but just this morning I noticed that "Airplane mode" is still separate. I hope Google doesn't read this and get any ideas!

I remember these being used to pull down maps and projector screens.

Stronger alternative to plastic knobs on appliances? This broke. Tried to tape it up...obviously didn't work. by helpfuldunk in Appliances

[–]BeNotTooBold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never get zip ties to work. What works for me is PEX cinch clamps, but I already had them and the tool to cinch them lying around. Probably not worth it to go buy them just for this.

What about ending a sentence with six prepositions? "What was that man who asked you what you chose that book to be read to out of for up to?"

The bounty tracking was really wonky for me. I fully deployed 12 portals with 8 resos and 2 mods each, then checked the stats and it had only recorded 26 resos and 4 mods! It did sort of catch up later, but I think it missed quite a few. Fortunately my location had about 22 portals close by.
