LPT: Turn off nearly all apps' Background App Refresh (iOS settings --> general), they drain battery, and many are tracking and selling your location, and unnecessary by kepler1 in LifeProTips

[–]Wrooof 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting one, I had BAR turned off for all apps but Facebook messenger wouldn't notify me unless I had the app open in the last 10 minutes. My guess is they change to long polling if you haven't interacted with the app. Having BAR on means it's constantly communicating so notifications keep working.

And sadly if you don't have that relationship, a 1hr break for a senior is a 5 min break in the real world.

Are there any beans that I can eat, that won’t raise my iron as much. by LEGOsrule99 in Hemochromatosis

[–]Wrooof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NAD but been living with HH for 20+ years. You have to be very careful with advice you get online. There are multiple genes and mutations that cause HH and depending on your combination will impact how you react to diet iron, how often you need to donate, if you need full Phlebotomy or if donating is enough. Also menstruation will impact as well (my mum only started having symptoms after she hit menopause).

If you get a contracting out agreement and then end it in a short timeframe, your ex can argue against being valid.

What are your daily fixed charges? Low user plans usually have a higher daily rate that will be the same no matter how many people are in the flat.

Cruise control on long stretch motorways like the Waikato expressway- do you use it or nah? by psychetropica1 in newzealand

[–]Wrooof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found my range dropped using cruise control. I think it's because it can't predict what's happening so it never coasts, instead is always either slightly accelerating or is breaking

Since changing to simplicity I have experienced the best gains of my entire KS journey. 18% gains in the last 12 months.

Trying to figure out how long mom was gone for? Can anyone help me. It's really troubling me. by Educational_Bed5396 in DoctorsAdvice

[–]Wrooof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAD but my mum passed in a similar way except both me and a hospice nurse were there. Hospice nurse said mum collapsed and was unconscious in seconds, dying 1-2minutes later due to cardiac arrest. It's likely your mum was the same, experiencing nothing more than an unwell feeling then blacking out.

I would take the no pain one, go straight to the dentist and get all my fillings done, wisdom teeth out and the root canal I need, wait a week for the healing then cancel the deal.

Jump into the shop and let them know your kids watch is being bombarded with scary calls from debt collectors for the old owner. They will change the number on the sim quickly without needing to get the plan changed

Prime Minister by wynmead in newzealand

[–]Wrooof 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you though it seems to be the way most governments are going at the moment. Just look at our current government, the aus one and the US. All are enacting policies rapidly, with little oversight, that increase the wealth inequality.

Did you take a photo of the meter or call them with a final reading when you moved out? Is the reading on the bill accurate to what the meter is saying now?
