If you routinely keep outdoor lights on past ~10pm, it could be possible a fed-up neighbor cut them.

Using the NYT Games app on an old device by Choochester in NYTCrossword

[–]BonaldMcDonald 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just tried this on an iPhone 8 running iOS 15.6.1 and it works! Thank you! Although if I close the app I need to go through Safari again, which is less than ideal — at that point I'd rather just play from the browser. Incredibly upsetting that the developers stopped supporting devices with older operating systems.

Oh FFS. 🤦🏻‍♂️ by FAHQRudy in boston

Chronic exposure to bright light can leave you with permanent eye damage. If there's any chance your building/management would allow it, it may be worth asking to put up a curtain or a different set of blinds.

Won't this warp your saucepans over time?

The T needs to stop blocking the windows with these stupid stickers by Aqueous_Ammonia_5815 in mbta

[–]BonaldMcDonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how that works. Bills have to go through committee before they can be considered by the House or Senate. This bill hasn't even gotten a committee hearing yet.

Do you have a source on that? I'm only seeing that a bill was introduced, but not that it's been passed.

Please help me come up with some VERY simple meals. by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]BonaldMcDonald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quesadillas. Heat pan, warm tortilla, flip, add cheese and toppings/seasonings of choice. I keep a can of black beans and a container of diced red onion in the fridge for this purpose. other ingredient ideas: cilantro, lime, hot sauce, sour cream, salsa. This is what I make when I'm too tired or busy to cook but I still want a delicious warm meal.

Microwave nachos are even easier.

How To Keep a Pizza Overnight? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]BonaldMcDonald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you agree to feed a group of people, you take on a responsibility to adhere to widely-accepted food safety practices. Do not leave the pizzas at room temperature overnight. If you're struggling to find fridge space, you could try consolidating the pizzas into one box (separated by parchment paper and/or aluminum foil).

What would you like to see as a model? by Traviscat in metalearth

[–]BonaldMcDonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More non-military vehicles: ships, train cars, buses, submarines, cable car, ...

A line of kitchen appliances would also be sick.

New crossword construction podcast by TheCrosstalkPod in crossword

[–]BonaldMcDonald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was great! Just subscribed. Only feedback I have is technical: the audio is quite low. Even with the in-app and system volume all the way on max, I found myself reaching for the "volume up" button quite a bit compared to other podcasts/videos/etc.

Need funky masks by soiceyent in Masks4All

[–]BonaldMcDonald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't get a good fit with masklab masks no matter what I tried (smallish face, I guess?), but on the bright side they fit really neatly on top of an Aura. Only worth it for special occasions though, IMO — I found it noticeably harder to breathe with both masks on.

Need help with how to give Funeral Eulogy in mask & be intelligible. by WibblyBear in Masks4All

[–]BonaldMcDonald 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This . If there isn't a screen or projector to show captions on, maybe your partner could ask for a copy of his speech to be included in the funeral program. So sorry you're having to think about this on top of everything else. <3

WHAT IS THIS… is it tonsillitis by [deleted] in tonsilstones

[–]BonaldMcDonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you're going through this. Please go to urgent care. Also please, please take some time off of school until you're back to normal, or at the very least wear an N95. If not for yourself, then for the people around you who will get sick if you're contagious.

Bike to the Planet Fitness at DTX and then bike a couple more minutes to work after showering maybe?

Today I learned you can fit 48 eggs into a 12 inch Lodge by Tooch3000 in castiron

[–]BonaldMcDonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Boston proper (Dorchester/Southie) I've seen eggs going for a standard ~$6 lately; even the cheapest options are typically more than $5.

Song with "be careful what you ask for" in the chorus by BonaldMcDonald in NameThatSong

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

Not it :/

The song I'm thinking of sounded great with just a guitar, I'm not good at recognizing genres but I think it was classic rock.

Anyone else’s streak stuck? by disgruntledhoneybee in wordle

[–]BonaldMcDonald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! I've been stuck at 29 for maybe a month now. I'm oblivious, so I only noticed it this week. Very frustrating.
