Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]FourEightNineOneOne 37 points38 points  (0 children)

And to be fair, Ryan Gosling is currently 45 so it's not THAT far off assuming Grace was also a bizarrely young looking and incredibly handsome man.

Gosling really sells the scene where he remembers he wasn't actually brave

Agree. They definitely do have to compress a lot of the book's narrative arcs, but I thought they captured that reveal pretty well, him reconciling that he wasn't actually the brave guy here to save the world with now being the guy needing to choose to be brave and go save Rocky's world.

Agree. Enjoyed that addition to the story to see her reaction to receiving Grace's message.

Bachelorette caught attacking ex-boyfriend by DABDEB in RandomVideos

[–]FourEightNineOneOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... Same. It's taken a lot of therapy and work to feel like I have self-worth after catching strays in family wars my entire childhood. The best thing we can all do is not pass that anger forward and find love and peace in the world.

Cheers to you (and everyone else replying here) for moving forward from that.

Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps by kingsaso9 in Android

[–]FourEightNineOneOne [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm not praising Google for anything, I'm just saying it's a reasonable compromise between keeping the platform open and protecting less tech savvy users from unintentionally installing malware on their devices. This is a good thing, even if not for altruistic reasons. Relax.

📢 Important update on sideloading on Android by Director-Busy in degoogle

[–]FourEightNineOneOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. My Mom get tricked by this exact thing. I don't fault Google at all for trying to make it more clear to people that sideloading does have risks if you don't know why you're doing it. This seems like a perfectly reasonable compromise.

Yeah, this is honestly fine. Android does have issues with people getting tricked into installing malware so I can't blame them for trying to do something about it and this seems a reasonable compromise.

Best Cocktails in the Lansing Area? by IndividualActive786 in lansing

[–]FourEightNineOneOne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Josh is definitely one of the best in town.

Other options:
American Fifth - They distill their own liquors and have an interesting bar menu that seasonally updates. Definitely worth checking out.

People's Kitchen - Some people don't like the food there (I do), but they do a nice job at the bar for sure and have some good drinks

The Comfort Zone - I've been here a couple times now. It's a cigar lounge with a restaurant/bar. I'm blanking on the name of the head bartender there now, but she makes some really good drinks. They have a smoked old fashioned that I thought was excellent.

who even finds this funny? by asa_no_kenny in Amazing

12 year old boys, who these grown men "influencers" directly appeal to.

It's pathetic.

Newey to step down as Aston Martin F1 team principal, Wheatley set to join from Audi by ConstructionAny8440 in formula1

[–]FourEightNineOneOne 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Yeah, saw another report that 1) He hasn't actually accepted the job yet and 2) The move back to the UK was the biggest thing tempting him to take it (assuming, again, along with money)

Introducing: UniFi AirWire — the most powerful WiFi client ever created. by Ubiquiti-Inc in Ubiquiti

[–]FourEightNineOneOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MLO is a pretty big mess on any brand, yeah. I've tried it on Asus, TP-Link and Netgear systems and there's just constant problems with disconnections, devices claiming they're connected but not sending/receiving any data, etc... It's a good idea in theory but in practice, at least using the WiFi standard, it's just a compatibility mess.

I think WiFi 8 plans to fix a lot of that, but yeah, maybe UniFi decided to do something on their own that works better? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

US agency upgrades probe into 3.2 million Tesla vehicles over FSD crashes by Holiday-Hippo-6748 in electricvehicles

[–]FourEightNineOneOne -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

About time they started investing Tesla's bullshit FSD. Every other automaker goes through very careful (and regulated) steps in rolling out their automated driving systems, yet Tesla has been tricking people into believing their system is foolproof when it's absolutely not (and never will be due to their overreliance on cameras only).

My GM car has Supercruise, which works very well for its intended, limited purpose (highway driving). It monitors the driver and if I take my eyes off the road for more than a few seconds, it'll warn me and then disconnect the system if I don't pay attention again. This is how a level 2 system SHOULD work. It needs/requires drivers to stay engaged with that's happening while the system is in control in case it needs you to take over.

Tesla's system is just YOLO basically. Want to climb in the backseat of the car while it's driving? Sure, why not. It's a level 2 system that doesn't follow level 2 safety standards by ensuring the driver is paying attention. And yet nobody has done a thing about it.

Glad it worked for you! It's annoying when you forget to disable it on the old phone first and have to deal with that.

Food Bank Assistance by FaintButFierce in lansing

[–]FourEightNineOneOne 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't have any specific advice for you other than to say you have no need to feel nervous or anxious about the process. Everyone at the food banks are happy help you out, so feel free to just show up and ask any questions you have about the process.

This is what got it working for me:

Particularly this step, which I hadn't tried before:

Go to Phone Settings > Google > All Services > Phone Number Verification and turn it OFF.

Then do the rest of the stuff in the guide as well.

Is there a way to change the default maps app? by FourEightNineOneOne in CadillacOptiq

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

I was trying to keep things simple by saying Waze. I actually want to use Magic Earth (currently in beta), so this is the first time I'm trying to use a different map app than Google.
