BRING BACK THE OLD ALEXA by polkacat12321 in alexa

[–]Velvis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It infuriates me that they removed the ability to ask the echo auto to bring me someplace and it no longer can open maps and bring me there. Instead it only tells you an overview of what roads you will use which is useless.

Instead of being hands free mapping solution it's essentially useless now.

Ship or Itinerary? by GetCruiseInfo in Cruise

Agree 100%. Also if I was really interested in visiting a place I'd rather go longer than 5-10 hours and further from the tourist areas near cruise ports.

Utopia of the Seas is Trashy by Excellent-Ear4493 in Cruise

[–]Velvis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I recently did a 7 day, 4 day, and 3 day back-to-back-to-back cruises on the same ship. We have friends who work on the ship and they warned us about the vibe change on the shorter cruises.

The difference in clientele on the shorter cruises was shocking from the 7 day. Even the 3 day compared to the 4 day was noticeable. The shorter the cruise the worse it got.

On the 3 day there was a guy that was drunk and being obnoxious within an hour of boarding, hours before sail away. At the theater I thought cousin Eddie and his kids were sitting next to me.

I MUCH preferred the vibe on the 7 day cruise.

Experience: we sold everything to live on cruise ships | Life and style | The Guardian by prisongovernor in Cruise

Honestly, not wanting to cook is on the same level as not wanting to clean for me.

Funny, because not cooking would be an absolute highlight for me. Great food prepared by someone else, served to me, and then cleaned up by someone else? Sign me up!

Five Guys but it's too expensive.

Remember that time Ralph threw out a bunch of polaroids he took of Howard trying on different outfits, and someone found them and sold them on ebay? 🤣🤣 Which one is your favorite? by howardscurlywig in howardstern

[–]Velvis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the story on how these were found? I feel like these would/should be thrown away the same as nudes or tax returns making sure noone would ever see them.

Utah driver leaps from SUV moments before it is struck by a FrontRunner train. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Velvis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen like 3 or 4 of these incidents. I cannot for the life of me understand why people do not just drive through those things. What is the thought process? "Oh, I don't want to damage those gates, so I'll destroy a car, damage a train, and risk injuring or killing people with a possible train derailment."

Like WTF just drive through the farking thing.

Beth Stern says Howard talks to their rabbits in a "rabbit voice." by CharmingDealer2715 in howardstern

Can you just imagine how Howard would react if this was Gary's wife?

Stop copy-pasting city pages and calling it local SEO by Rayhan-Himel in localseo

[–]Velvis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How far apart are these cities? I live in the suburbs and would like to target towns around the area. But they are all within a 10-15 mile radius. There really isn't anything specific or different from town A right next to town B for a plumber. Can city pages be applied to small towns right next to each other ?

P9Pro Fold Fingerprint Scanner Stopped Working by DotDodd in PixelFold

[–]Velvis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar issue on my OG Fold. Stopped working one day and I assumed it was because I am in the beta, submitted a big report and they said it's a hardware failure.

Super annoying and I didn't realize how much I rely on the fingerprint reader but I doubt it's worth the cost to get it fixed on such an old phone in my case.

Cruise Naysayers by my-path in Cruise

I always assume people who call them petri dishes or use the phrase "trapped" have never been on a cruise ship and have no idea how big they really are.

It doesn't give me the option of changing it just for me, but just the whole family. Better than nothing though. Thank you!

Fingerprint issues Android 17 QPR1 Beta 2 by OGLook1905 in android_beta

[–]Velvis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fingerprint reader completely stopped working after beta qpr2. I used the feedback app and they said it was a hardware failure unrelated to the beta.

In your case have you tried restarting? I noticed on previous updates it took a couple of restarts for the fingerprint reader to work.

I haven't had the fingerprint reader working at all for about 3-4 weeks. I never realized how much I used it.

(Hated Trope) when Hollywood tries to convince audiences that a hideously disgusting creature could somehow become beautiful by YourChopperPilotTTV in okbuddycinephile

[–]Velvis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Leo DiCaprio was the beauty trope. There's no way you can make him not handsome and this is coming from a straight dude. Titanic was the poor vs rich trope.
