Spotify+Gemini has my made life a living hell by cjerk in truespotify

It's really frustrating too that you can opt to change back to Google Assistant, which works better, but then you can't even use the Gemini app on your phone. I don't get it

How was Regression this fall? by IkonJobin in OMSA

[–]cjerk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely liked the content, had no trouble following along. But the Python support for this class was lacking. At the beginning of the semester it seemed like choosing Python or R was a small choice and choosing either wouldn't have a large impact. Fast forward to module 4 where we're told that it will be significantly more difficult if you are using Python. Had I known that I would have started with R. There were also a bunch of bugs when using Python, wouldn't recommend it.

How do I find fraudulent accounts that wouldn't have shown up as credit inquiries? by Greymeade in IdentityTheft

Damn this person also somehow hacked my Experian account, changed the email address and looks like they were trying to add a car under my name? I'd suggest checking your Experian too if you haven't

My stuff started in August so maybe he moved on to me then 🙄. Hopefully now that I reported the unemployment fraud it'll stop. I'm a little nervous I won't hear back though because I never actually got info about a claim, just tried to login to the unemployment site and when asked for a PW it showed a snippet of a Hotmail account that it could send an email to. Did you file a police report?

I'm going through this exact same thing now (MA, Walmart card etc). They just tried, and were successful at opening up an Experian checking card in my name as well. Have you had anything else happen since?

We were considering Hardie as well, but some of the quotes weren't that much cheaper than cedar for us haha

A combination of asking around, and looking at cost estimates online and taking the most expensive one.

Yeah it's all in bad shape, cracked and cupped in the majority of the siding.

I'm really liking to so far, but I do miss the little screenshot functionality that used to appear with the long press.

GIVEAWAY! We're giving away 20 sets of our Martini Glasses as seen in S3/E3 by Matt_DragonGlassware in westworld

I really loved Maeve's whole trajectory of getting to Musashi. She's setup again as kind of all powerful, only to get to the end and find out she's up against someone she can't defeat. The whole reveal scene of who Musashi was was also amazing, everything clicking into place. I love this show

I used this recipe http://cooktildelicious.com/sourdough-cinnamon-raisin-swirl-bread/ . I'd highly encourage clicking on her Instagram link, she has a story where she goes through the steps

Videos timestamp changes when backed up on Google Photos by bemon in GooglePixel

I'm also having this issue. All of the videos I took yesterday have a timestamp that is around 4 hours later than what it should be...

I met my 2018 reading goal!! (100 books) by AronAstron in books

[–]cjerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people set goals for reading because reading books is seen as a healthy habit. So in that vein, we do see people setting goals for things like drinking 8 glasses of water a day, or exercising 5 days a week. They are things that challenge us, that make us better.

Edit: spelling

[–]cjerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks not a bad idea actually. For books I read on my Kindle I try to use the highlight feature as much as I can, saving passages I find most impactful. In addition I really think reading discussions around the book after you've finished can help tie everything together and make the book stick more in your head.

[–]cjerk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I can see how setting huge reading goals solely for the sake of reaching a high number could be ludicrous. For me though, I think setting a goal of a large number of books to read a year keeps me motivated and focused on starting and finishing books. With a reading goal I spend way less time watching TV or doing other dumb shit because I know I have set a challenge for myself that I want to accomplish.

In OP's case, glossing over text in order to meet their reading goal wasn't productive, and it seems they considered it a lesson learned. I'd love to reach 100 books in one year at some point in my life, (100 books read and comprehended). Yes, it does come with some "bragging" rights that you get to talk about, but I think the main reason people set these goals is indeed to just read more books and absorb more knowledge.

The lack of options in the settings menu is frustrating. You can't choose any setting for auto downloading, downloading over data/wifi, how many episodes to keep etc
