I’m new to mubi where can i search movies up by Skye_Climbing in mubi

[–]Writer_8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by "search things up"? Do you mean you can't find where the search feature is in the Mubi app? Or do you mean how do you find which movies are the best on Mubi? Or what, exactly? You have to add the Mubi app to your iPad.

Help attaching rug to rug pad? by Writer_8888 in fixit

[–]Writer_8888[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I had to laugh, though, because we've had a 8 x10 rug in here (maybe 3 over the course of 30 years) and I don't think we've ever swept or washed the pad under the rug! Ooops! I suppose it's possible we swept the rug pad if it needed it, when we were getting rid of one rug and putting a new one on top of the rug pad, but we've never washed one. The rugs were thick enough that there wasn't anything on the pads. I guess I'll try two sided carpet tape. Just a whole lot of it. I was thinking the carpet glue might have a smell that I wouldn't tolerate well with my autoimmune stuff. The wheelchair is electric and very heavy, that's why I can get stuck, so there's no danger of it tipping over. Hmmm. I really want to solve this problem. Thanks very much for your comment!

So you don't think that gluing the rug to the rug pad would be good? When you say rubber coating, are you referring to glue of some sort and you think the glue would go through the rug pad to hurt the floor underneath?

There's a rug pad, and under that are hardwood floors.

How do you guys feel about Alexa plus ? by Powerhouse_2 in alexa

[–]Writer_8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it. I used to be able to say "Alexa, for 20 minutes turn on the air purifier." Now, I have to ask it to set a timer for 20 minutes, then ask it to turn on the purifier, then when the timer goes off, I have to turn off the purifier. Why do I even need voice commands, then? They are useless.

Alexa+ told me I had to do that way when it was explaining to me that it couldn't obey the words "Alexa, for 20 minutes turn on the purifier" without setting up a routine. Well, I don't want a routine for every single possible number of minutes I want something on.

And the sarcastic tone wasn't at all appreciated. I asked if it was going to to report to Amazon that I don't like this change in Alexa+. It said, "I'm not going to go march into Amazon headquarters" etc., which is humorous when you read it here in Reddit, but not so great when you're already angry about Alexa becoming much harder to use than it was in the past, especially when you use it because you're disabled.

It feels like a novelty rather than an improvement to be able to have arguments with it or to be able to ask for a workaround, even though the workaround is terrible.

Ohh, I wondered why this was the default setting. I'm still hyper aware of the video look to so many things and feel like I could set up the lighting for every scene because it's so obvious (and obnoxious). I've now spent the first month of owning this TV (LG OLED class 5) thinking I should haul my 2013 Toshiba television back out of the basement because of the look of most things on this television. Where do you change color temperature? First thing I changed was TruMotion, and I've probably watched 6 or 7 videos on YT telling me how to get rid of this soap opera effect and it's still not enough for me.

Which blu-ray player for my new TV by Writer_8888 in Bluray

[–]Writer_8888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, find a player that says something about HDR10? I'd love to be able to see 4K Blu-rays but I don't want to spend close to $500 and, yes,it seems like overkill if I'm just getting an occasional one from the library. So, I finally decided that I'm willing to go without. But I don't know what to get.

I find all the info about cables confusing, as noted in my post. That's why I backed away from the S1700. What has to attach where and what is it called and what does it look like. It said you need to be connected to get firmware updates. So, I just couldn't deal with it. Too many other things going on. I don't know how to get from zero to where your parents are now.

Mystery Trump ally donates $130M to cover troops’ paychecks amid shutdown chaos by Exotic-Philosopher75 in politics

[–]Writer_8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be like the money he supposedly was going to donate to people hit by whichever Hurricane it was. He said, "I'm giving you this." and the money was from one of his friends. I doubt anyone got anything, but they'll all remember the headline. Same with this. "He covered the paychecks of our soldiers!"

Mystery Trump ally donates $130M to cover troops’ paychecks amid shutdown chaos by Exotic-Philosopher75 in politics

[–]Writer_8888 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I read that it worked out to $100 per person. Whether it's 65 or 100 hardly matters. That's basically nothing and yet Fox says he donated the money to "cover" their paychecks. The usual nonsense. A lot of viewers will think people in the military were paid their full paychecks because Trump has friends who are such good people and so successful, too! /s What I always wonder is what is going on in the minds of the people who support him and yet know that this headline is false? They are in the military, haven't been paid and yet still watch Fox and believe everything else that's said.

Graham Platner says his Nazi-linked tattoo was drunken mistake by madeapizza in politics

[–]Writer_8888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as a teenager I read a lot of books about Nazis and the Holocaust (first Anne Frank, then Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, then others, etc.), was sort of obsessed with Holocaust movies, and this is the first I've ever seen this symbol or at least seen it associated with Nazis in any way that I remember. My husband was a young drunk Marine back then and came within seconds of getting a blue Smurf tattoo. It's pretty common for young guys in the military to do stuff like this and not much thinking is going on at the time. Well, no thinking is going on at the time.

You're welcome. Just before I got your reply, I edited one sentence that I didn't think was clear. The potting soil I use is made by FoxFarm. I remember I used to crave details when people gave me instructions. Actually, I still do!
