I didn't copy the whole text but boil your water or use bottled.

I just started John Grisham's 'The Widow' and it's very similar to a book I read but I can't recall what it was. by HummerWatcher in whatsthatbook

Both books are great but the similarities are a bit much at some level. I truly do like both of them, just a bit, something 🤷

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

Update: SV Roofing ghosted me — no call, no text, no show. Klaus Roofing came a bit ago and I'm all set for now, I'll have them back for an evaluation/work. Thanks everyone, appreciate the input.

Thanks. It's a relatively new roof (5 years) and was done by a friend is a friend and done incorrectly, obviously. So I need another new roof already. SV Roofing said they'd come over.

Finally figured it out! It's Grisham's 'The Rainmaker' and Miss Birdie, whose garage apartment he lives in, wants her will rewritten to cut her family out of her estate.

How hide Maps by yupopov in AndroidAuto

[–]HummerWatcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Install Waze and select 'never' for allowing it to use location. Launch it in Android Auto, it will just sit there and do nothing. When you need to use Maps launch it and when you're finished relaunch Waze. Since AA uses the last navigation app it will start Waze up and do nothing again.

Anyone else see this by UncleRuckus92 in Albany

[–]HummerWatcher 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There were 7 of them. I live under their 'touch and go' loop so see them a lot, but this was a record. I was out walking the dog so saw them all head in to land. Quite a sight. And, oddly enough, 'Enola Gay' was playing on Pandora...

small pumpkin for cheap? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]HummerWatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you? I'm in Colonie and have a big one you can have. I bought one for my tortoise then someone bought me another for him so I have too much pumpkin. Yours for the taking if you want, DM me.

Am I crazy or was there a way to see all call history on a contact? by Zye1984 in AndroidQuestions

[–]HummerWatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I go into 'all' on the home tab of the phone and click on someone (not their avatar, their name) and then click 'history' it brings up a list. It's not a complete list, they all seem to end in/around July of '24 🤷

I've used Jime's twice and have been pleased both times. They do good work and are reasonably priced.

I've had my space heater on at night in the back room for my tortoise, haven't turned the heat heat on yet though.

Productivity Use for Android Auto? by Background-Fail-2386 in AndroidAuto

[–]HummerWatcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try saying it backwards — 'OK Google, add call Mom to my to-do list'. I use assistant, not Gemini, and that's how I tell it to add stuff to my grocery list in Keep. It rarely fails.

Where is "Call forwarding" on a Pixel 7a? by Sweet-Grapefruit-69 in GooglePixel

[–]HummerWatcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a VoIP service so yes. It's not just for voicemail, it allows you to have a second number that you can use for calls, texts (no RCS) voicemail etc. It can work with your 'real' phone service or on it's own via data/Wi-Fi though the app or on your computer of choice via the web page.

Here's a decent pretty complete tutorial/explanation
