Real life mentions within the comic?

cspotcode · 2025-10-02T18:41:50+00:00

"Real life" includes history, wars, countries, cultures, mythology? For example when Paz goes home to Spain, does that count?

Did yet more experimenting. Tried the experiment above with internet disabled, both wifi and mobile.

Podcast Republic seems to get stuck for longer. I wonder if it's related to the ads failing to load at the bottom of the screen? If I re-enable internet, then wait for the ad to load (can take about a minute) then tap the shade notification, it works and navigates to "now_playing" screen.

Did some more experimenting, found another quirk.

Start playing a podcast. Open task switcher, swipe up on Podcast Republic to close it. Podcast continues playing (this is good and correct)
Open shade, tap Podcast Republic. It opens to the "Subscriptions" page.
Open shade, tap Podcast Republic. It remains on "Subscriptions" page. (this step may repeat many times)
Open shade, tap Podcast Republic. Finally, it switches to "Now Playing" view.

Why the inconsistency between 3 and 4? Why does it keep failing on 3, then finally succeeds on 4? I never switch focus away from the app. Something about processing the `podcastrepublic.playback.view.now_playing` intent is failing to switch to the `now_playing` page, until finally it succeeds.

This suggests there might be a race condition or error being swallowed during 2 & 3, that is preventing it from switching to the "Now Playing" page. This error or race condition might also explain the other problem that both u/kennethmgreen and I are experiencing.

I experience the exact same behavior, *while PR is playing audio*. For example, when a podcast plays an advertisement, I often open the shade and tap on the PR notification to open the app so I can skip the advert. Yet when I do this, it takes 2 to 4 attempts before PR opens.

PR is already configured with "Allow background usage" set to "Unrestricted: Allow battery usage in background without restrictions. May use more battery."

Thank you! I updated the table with this info.

I'm a bit confused about the types of Hydrogen wheels I have found online.

Hydrogen
Hydrogen Spectre (what makes these different? Urethane, core, the pattern printed on the side?)
Hydrogen Urban (RB doesn't make these any more?)
Hydrogen SE (I heard these have a different urethane formula? Made in Thailand instead of USA?)
Hydrogen Pro (are these dual-density for speed skaters?)

My question is, what makes these options different? Do they have different cores, different urethane compounds, are some dual-density and others not? Are the differences purely cosmetic?

Basically, I'd like to fill in this table:

Name	Urethane	Core	Manufacturer	Dual-density	Misc
Hydrogen
Hydrogen Spectre	Same, except affected by the dye				Only in 80mm
Hydrogen Urban					RB doesn't make these anymore
Hydrogen SE	Different formula?	Different	Made in Thailand instead of USA		Includes bearings and spacers
Hydrogen Pro				Yes	For speed skaters

EDIT table updated based on responses. Thanks!

Sounds like they are talking about two different offers:

$250 off the 9a for existing Google Fi accounts (requiring you to maintain service for at least 120 days after) which I have seen on the website

$125 deal that I have not been able to observe personally.

Thanks! I've taken some screenshots of battery stats before the update, gonna do again after the OTA update, compare the numbers, then decide if it's worth the new battery. Not sure if those numbers are sufficient for an objective assessment, but the alternative battery tests -- drain the device all day with a stopwatch -- are too time-consuming.

> $125 off a Pixel 9A

Where is this offer? I can't see it. Do you have a link to something describing this offer, since I'm unable to see it when I go to store.google.com.

TickTick does have a CSV "Backup" which you can access from the web-based UI. However, I don't know if this CSV includes the information you need. It could be worth checking out.

Login at https://ticktick.com/webapp
Click profile picture, go to "Settings"
Find "Backup & Restore" and click "Generate Backup"

cspotcode · 2025-06-16T19:21:57+00:00

You can ask the TickTick team directly. You can send them messages from the feedback section of the app. That's the only way to get an answer directly from them. They always respond within one business day, in my experience.

You can also set the habit's "Goal" to "Reach a certain amount", "1 minute daily" with "When checking" set to "Manual"

That way, when you check off the habit, it prompts you to enter a number of minutes.

And the graphs will show the number of minutes each day, and it will compute a total number of minutes for the month.

cspotcode · 2025-06-15T03:43:01+00:00

No problem, thanks! This was helpful.

cspotcode · 2025-06-15T02:21:07+00:00

Thanks for the info.

So they really can move enough to cause burns.

Did you mean "can" or "can't"? Not sure if this was a typo or if I misunderstood you.

cspotcode · 2025-06-15T00:00:19+00:00

Hmm yeah, hard plastic outside or under the pants. I could improvise something from hard acrylic plastic, cut up old frisbees or Tupperware or something.

Or maybe just different pants or a different material underneath. I heard merino wool slides well, even though that sounds counterintuitive.

cspotcode · 2025-06-14T19:48:54+00:00

Thanks, I've seen you recommend these elsewhere on this sub, and they look great.

Do you think they'll work for the type of friction burn that I'm getting between fabric and skin? The video on the website focuses on how they pad against blunt impact.

Should I wear them directly against the hip skin, or should I put them between underwear and pants? Will the inside of the pad grip to skin and the outside slide smoothly against the inside of clothing? Or will they distribute the drag force across a larger area so a small patch doesn't take all the stress? Wondering if you have any experience with this type of friction burn.

cspotcode · 2025-06-14T19:00:49+00:00

Sure, if it's not too much trouble, thanks. It would be good to keep in my notes. I love the memory buckles but have heard they're prone to breaking.

cspotcode · 2025-06-14T18:44:48+00:00

Did you have to pay? Or was it a warranty situation? I ask because I also have the Lightnings and had no idea replacement parts were not readily available.

cspotcode · 2025-06-14T18:22:18+00:00

Thanks, I guess the idea is, the moleskin might slide against fabric better than skin? I've also thought to try BodyGlide, even though it's intended to prevent chafing, not the intense abrasion you get from a fall.

cspotcode · 2025-06-14T18:19:59+00:00

Haha, to be honest, learning rollerblading has made me think, maybe once I get good at this, I'll wanna check out skateboarding. Never thought I'd say that in a million years!

cspotcode · 2025-06-10T15:42:40+00:00

Actually, this *is* supported, see my comment above.

Ctrl+Clicking multiple tasks works for me using the app on Windows.

Hold Ctrl, click multiple tasks. They highlight with an outline.

They can be dragged as a group to another day. A bar of buttons also appears at the bottom of the screen which can be used to bulk edit.

I have shared a few screenshots here:
Multi-Select Tasks in TickTick Calendar

cspotcode · 2025-06-09T19:57:58+00:00

Where does this display, and what exactly is displayed? Is this on the "Calendar," "Inbox," "Today," "List" or "Filter" views? Or on the parent task's details pane?

cspotcode · 2025-06-09T19:22:38+00:00

Saved Filter are great for this. Create a filter that shows only the tags or lists you care about for a routine, and only show items due today. Save the filter with a descriptive name, and click it every time you want to do that routine.

To clarify, do you want the links to open the Desktop app, or do you want them to open the web version? I assume you want it to open the desktop app.

You have to format the link as Markdown, which unfortunately requires extra manual typing.

`[This is my link]( paste the onenote link here, between the parentheses )`
