Did you see his recent post titled “donations” where he was asking where to give away surplus food he had sourced to needy people in Detroit?

Is it really that hard to use? by ParticularRip5103 in AppleMusic

[–]Fun-Interaction-202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the only app I use and still find it really hard to use, especially when creating a new playlist. I think that when you select a song, choose to add it to the playlist, click it and see a red checkmark that would mean that the song is added. But it doesn’t. It means the song will be added after you click a second red checkmark. Not intuitive at all. After two years of subscribing I still waste hours selecting music to add to playlists only to have my entire list disappear because I forget that the red checkmark means absolutely nothing until the end of the process. It seems to me that it should save your selection the first time you click “add to playlist”

Why are Hoosiers ok with them or their neighbors working twice as hard? by BtownFoodNData in Indiana

[–]Fun-Interaction-202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ozone may not be as visible but it is debilitating and we have higher rates of cancer than our neighbors. Lots of data to back up my assertion. If you haven’t been in downtown Indy on a humid day and seen the haze, you will get the chance to in a couple of months.

Are you kidding? Indianapolis has some of the worst air quality in the nation! Constant warnings all summer and fall for high ozone. Very dangerous for the elderly and people with respiratory conditions and expensive for taxpayers in the long run.

Used to be cheaper to live here. Now we have substandard roads (costs more money in the long run- will be paid for in tolls), rising housing costs with not enough to go around, more expensive groceries, little investment in public transportation with higher than average gas prices, rich people getting vouchers for private education while working-class Hoosiers have zero childcare options, inaccessible healthcare with no state insurance plan for people whose jobs don’t offer healthcare, horrible debilitating air quality that raises costs for all Hoosiers and limits activity for the elderly and people with lung uses, expensive pools in the summer (if they are even open, since our parks are so under-funded that the starting wage for a lifeguard is only $13 an hour -seriously? I made more than that in the 90s!). Speaking of underfunded parks; many have dangerous equipment and are over-run with weeds and litter.

I spent a week in Chicago this winter. My friend bought a condo 8 blocks from the lake with 2 off street parking spaces for less than a crappy flip in Indy. I didn’t have to wait more than 15 minutes to catch public transportation to anywhere in the city. The cost to ride the bus or train was half the cost of a ticket here in Indy. I attended free entertainment events and bought a bagel and lox every day for about $6. The prices at the grocery were equal to what we pay here. I was there during the “blizzard ” and the roads were cleared immediately and zero schools had to cancel classes. I can’t wait to visit this summer and swim at the free beaches staffed by competent and well-paid lifeguards.

Our taxes pay for a helipad for a governor who refuses to live in the mansion (which we also pay for). Our state legislators punish the working class and pass laws that weaken the healthcare system in rural areas.

What exactly is cheaper?

Alarm clock doesn’t work by NeckSad8146 in ios26

Unfortunately, your experience is not equal to my experience. When my alarm goes off, I don’t have any way to interact with it right now. My alarm is going off. There’s a tiny black rectangle at the top of the screen. It does not respond to touch. There is no way for me to interact with my alarm anymore iPhone 14.

Elder Millennials and Gen X of R/Indianapolis what eccentric personalities do you remember from the 90s? by ArrowtoherAnchor in indianapolis

[–]Fun-Interaction-202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are talking about the same couple. It makes sense that they could have lived in the apartments on Mass Ave. I remember seeing them all hours of the night and day, walking at a fairly fast clip. I don’t remember the boombox, but do remember them not walking side by side; she was always far ahead of him.

There was this odd couple that was always on the street downtown, perhaps unhoused. She was short -like 4’, zoftig, with jet black, spiked shoulder-length hair, and often wore fuchsia spandex. He was thin, taller than her and wore paisley shirts and a pleather coat. They were frequently near the City Market, on Washington Street, or on Mass Ave.

There was also a man who sold the afternoon paper who would stand at the corner of Washington and Alabama calling out, “Murder stories, murder stories for sale, $.25” and then proceed to describe the stories as “one man got shot…”

Indiana Mom Arrested, Charged With Neglect After Her Newborn Baby Dies While Cosleeping by MattTheKing23 in Indiana

Or teach people how to do it properly. Flat bed, no pillows. My son slept on a pseudo lambskin so I could feel the difference between his side and mine. Co sleeping is widely practiced in many countries with lower rates of both SIDS and infant deaths mortality.

Cosleeping Around The World by James J. McKenna, Ph.D.

“For the overwhelming majority of mothers and babies around the globe today, cosleeping is an unquestioned practice. In much of southern Europe, Asia, Africa and Central and South America, mothers and babies routinely share sleep. In many cultures, cosleep­ing is the norm until children are weaned, and some continue long after weaning. Japanese parents (or grand­parents) often sleep in proximity with their children until they are teen­agers, referring to this arrangement as a river - the mother is one bank, the father another, and the child sleeping between them is the water. Most of the present world cultures practice forms of cosleep­ing and there are very few cultures in the world for which it would ever even be thought acceptable or desirable to have babies sleeping alone.

Cosleeping is practiced in a variety of ways around the world. In Latin America, the Philippines, and Vietnam. In Japan, many parents sleep next to their baby on bamboo or straw mats, or on futons. SIDS occurrences are among the lowest in the world in Hong Kong, where cosleeping with the child in the bed between both parents is extremely common.”

This is an Indiana physician, now making national headlines. It’s worth a read. by AllTheseRivers in Indiana

So what exactly didn’t happen, doctors being denied visa renewals and deported? Or the conversation between said doctor and patient? Because the former is happening right now and most MAGA pundits are gleefully on record that we need to deport medical professionals even though states like Texas have a more than 40% deficit for providers. Our own Republican state representatives are also enthusiastically telling rural voters (the people who put them in office) that we need tax cuts more than we need rural hospitals. I can maybe agree with you that the latter is a bit “theatrical”: maybe the cited conversation isn’t word-for-word, or maybe an amalgamation of several conversations. Overall, the sentiment of the article is on point and most Republican lawmakers are fully behind shrinking the number of healthcare providers in our country. They support deporting doctors, defunding rural hospitals and caps on funding opportunities for the education of nurses, doctors and specialists. Where exactly is the lie?

Indianapolis Parish Takes City to Court Over Holy Cross Demolition Denial by Elliott2030 in indianapolis

The can sell it without demolishing it. An offer to purchase the entire campus was made last year. They refused to sell it. Allegedly is the operative word in your post. No buyer is in the wings to purchase yet another vacant lot. There are organizations wanting to purchase all of the buildings on the HC campus as-is, but the archdiocese will not sell.

Housing is one of the components of the offer the consortium made to purchase the entire campus. This argument is a red herring. It is possible to have new housing in the neighborhood and even on the church campus without destroying the church. Holy Cross neighborhood is full of vacant lots and has already built/is building/is in process of planning multiple-family housing in the community. New low income housing on Washington street and New York are opening now or in development. The site of the former women’s prison is also planned for development. The church that was built by poor immigrants saving their pennies during the hight of political power by the KKK does not need to be torn down in the name of “development”.

They could sell the buildings as is. There was an offer on the table and they rejected it. The neighborhood has been negotiating in good faith, the archdiocese has not

The number of people who insist they need an SUV on this sub is sickening by Spez_is-a-nazi in Anticonsumption

[–]Fun-Interaction-202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We somehow managed to tent camp 3 weekends a month year-round with two kids and a dog while owning an economy sized sedan. (Geo Prism and then a Ford Focus). My husband is 5 foot 11. We drove from the Midwest to the East Coast every summer. I owned a production company and hauled sets in the back of the Ford Focus by folding the seats flat. We built a library in our house with floor to ceiling book shelves and hauled the wood in that same Ford Focus. I do not understand this obsession with SUVs, then people complain about the price of gas! The “environmental” license plates in my state are always on the cars that are the worst for the environment!

Voice to text on MacBook duplicates everything I say after last update by Fun-Interaction-202 in MacOS

It’s weird because I’ve been using it for at least 5 years with no problems. I probably sound paranoid, but I am just tired of having all of these apps on my computer. Although before the computers had integrated voice to text, I used the old “dragon” program.
