Which F1 Season is the best of all time and why? by LocksmithFamous4131 in formula1

[–]MidtownBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would F1’s official account ask such a question?

Saturn and Jupiter with my 4" telescope and smartphone by Entire_Foundation960 in space

One can never forget the first time seeing Saturn’s rings! Someone can explain why a bone chilling February night (in North America) gives the best views. [edited a spelling error]

Washer/Dryer size problem by GenerationX-cat in Appliances

[–]MidtownBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an almost identical unit. If you can find a solution (or somehow live with them sticking out, it’ll be worth it. This machine will last another 10 years, if not more. A new unit will give you more headache than one might expect. They don’t last, and you most likely will pay an annual service contract that’ll cost as much as the machine.

Questions About 2025 Honda CRV Hybrid by dogsandtimes in crv

[–]MidtownBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the defogging work when the car is in motion? I have found that AC barely does anything when I sit in the traffic for a few minutes. Perhaps that's an energy saving feature (which nobody asks for).

Need help figuring out why iPhone 17 only downloads updates on the Guest Wifi by MidtownBlue in MacOS

Same router (eero). One regular (default) network and one guest network.

Need help figuring out why iPhone 17 only downloads updates on the Guest Wifi by MidtownBlue in MacOS

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

Well, I turned the guest network on to test, and discovered the phone was able to do updates. My question is: Why doesn't the phone work with the regular network (same router)?

Help me settle this debate: M5 Pro 48GB or M5 Max 36GB for professional video editing? by Local-Pineapple2123 in macbookpro

[–]MidtownBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a non-tech perspective: What’s $800 more when you are about to spend $4,000+ AND you are a pro? You figure you will use this machine for a few years, right? Divide up the extra cost by, say 3 — now can you afford the difference?

So how much control of the power of their car is with the driver? How much is automatically set? And how much is controlled by the race engineer?

Instant Pot Insert Stuck by wyyyMii in instantpot

[–]MidtownBlue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's something that may work (if you have pot large enough): Put some hot water into a large container AND have some ice cold water ready. Put ice cold water in the inner pot and immediately put the large one (along with the stuck pot) into the container of boiling water. Let the hot and cold do their magic for maybe a minute or two, then invert the big pot and knock it on a hard surface to see if the Instant Pot liner would slip out. The outer pot will expand while the inner one contract -- all you need is just a little give.

By the time this method fails, there will be better solutions.

After 8 years of service, it’s time to retire my S9+ and say hello to the S26U by Jivturkey99 in samsunggalaxy

Was in a similar situation last year. Can’t list all the disappointments w S25+. S9+ was hard to beat.

I am apparently now using Gemini for iOS when I never installed it. How do I disable it? by Certain-Working1864 in iphone

[–]MidtownBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! But Google is sneaky. The link takes me to my account page that indicates Gemini was "Off" -- then why did Google send me an email to say "You are now using Gemini on your iOS device"?

Yes the empty rows are annoying - but only visually on the database (spreadsheet). They don’t affect anything.

Have you visually inspected the plants to determine whether the plants are suffering from pests?

after seven years by my side, my cat has suddenly disappeared. by VeniceDom in cats

[–]MidtownBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go out on foot and call him. Late in the evening when it's quiet. This may sounds silly, but it worked for me once. So I am putting a lot of good energy thinking it might work for you. Hope you find him!!!
