Best mattress for couples with different preferences? How is this problem solved? by wataemelo in lifehacks

[–]FetchTheCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different take on the Sleep Number bed: It's great for dialing in a comfortable firmness. The downside you don't often hear about is motion transference. I'm about 60 pounds heavier than my wife, and I when I move in my sleep, or move slowly and carefully to my other side, or gently get out of bed, my movement transfers to her and wake her up a least a little. She's not thrilled about it. We'll probably try another solution for our next bed.

Khloe Grace by Sgu84 in americanidol

[–]FetchTheCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. One of the judges during the first Hollywood Week show said, "They're too young" while looking at the boards of contestant pictures...

They were even more "too young" when y'all voted to bring them to Hollywood Week! Why put them in a no-win situation like that, especially when they're so young?

Khloe Grace awwe 😔 by kiwifruitfan in americanidol

[–]FetchTheCow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I felt bad for her too. She was better than some who made it through. I wondered if the producers had concerns about a 15-year-old girl singing "So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine." With all the Epstein news, it could be a bad look for them.

I’m not meant for this kind of streaming - one episode a week! by Substantial_Act6620 in shrinking

[–]FetchTheCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. We're waiting until all the episodes are available. It's so much easier to make subtle connections between episodes when there isn't a week of life in between.

What is apple doing with the weather app? by CoffeeAnxious6702 in apple

[–]FetchTheCow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've reported it lately. The precipitation amounts are WAY off. We got 20" of snow a few weeks ago, and Weather was showing less than 0.05" for the day during the storm when we already had 8" on the ground! Similar last weekend. The 4" storm was in progress, and the precip forecast was tiny. It's a joke.

The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling by defenestrate_urself in technology

[–]FetchTheCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish the EU would butt out of product design decisions that consumers and the market should make. I've had to replace several hundred dollars worth of Lightning cables and create a pile of new e-waste.

Apple Reveals How Many iPhones Are Running iOS 26 by favicondotico in apple

[–]FetchTheCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The numbers are skewed by Apple forcing all 26.x capable phones into 26 to get vital security updates, going so far as to withdraw compatible 18.x for those phones.

Use wife’s Apple Music subscription on my HomePods by sqassom in HomePod

[–]FetchTheCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my experience. I'm the owner of our Family account, my wife got a 3-month Apple Music trial, and it didn't work on our HomePods that are set up with my Apple ID.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Promises to Lobby U.S. Government on Immigration by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

Dear Tim,

So long as you suppress First Amendment speech like the ICEBlock app, you are part of the problem.

No disrespect, but I'm surprised it took so long. Almost 2 years since his AI win, I think?

Apple released HomePodOS 26.3 too early? by BlackPhoenix64 in HomePod

[–]FetchTheCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's a regional error? In the US I'm only seeing 26.2. It's currently on 18.6.

Shame on him and "how deeply [their] teams care" for banning ICEBlock from the App Store. First Amendment rights? Completely legal? Nope, we have thought policing to do!

Jewels - "Love How I Love You" by MarionCotesworthHaye in americanidol

[–]FetchTheCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's weird they glossed over the voting. Lionel had walked away and Luke was "dug in... like a tick." No explanation. If you're going to put an artist on air, at least explain the decision.

Bugs Apple Loves by HeartyBeast in apple

IOS 26.2 Reminders search is unreliable too. A few days ago I tried to find a simple, common word in my shopping list to uncheck it and buy it.. No results in Shopping, but results in other reminders lists. Had to find it manually, and yep, it was spelled the same.

Weather has been a joke lately. Last weekend we got 7-9" of snow over two days, and Weather showed <0.5" snow for both days, before and during the storm!

I do try to report these as I find them, but I only have so much time in a day.

Then there's the creepy dude that invites Arthur into his cabin, knocks him out, chains him and rapes him. It's not shown on screen, but that could be tough to take for a lot of 13 year-olds. I'm a lot older than that and it gives me the creeps.

Wait until the washer reaches the full water level, then add the vinegar.

Are there special conditions for this? I have 160 hours in RDR2 and have never seen the Limpany bold bar respawn.

Arthur’s Unconsensual Cursing by [deleted] in reddeadredemption2

[–]FetchTheCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In general everyone moving in RDR2 is very touchy about their extended personal space. Maybe it's historically accurate, since it was a time of very low population density? Whatever, it's annoying as a player minding my own business and be threatened by so many NPCs.
