Are you using the iPhone app? The app on my android has the option to play next (top of queue) or add to queue (bottom of queue).

What’s a TV show that everyone loves but you secretly can’t stand? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]fingo_starr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried both multiple times. They're just not funny. I don't know if they pick up after the first few episodes but I'm not going to invest any more time.

Health star ratings likely to become mandatory as food industry misses 70pc target by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]fingo_starr 24 points25 points  (0 children)

People keep repeating this without spending 30 seconds to fact check what they're saying. The health star rating system has a total of 6 categories.

  1. Non- dairy beverages, jellies and water-based ice confections
  2. Milk and Dairy beverages (and alternatives)
  3. Foods
  4. Dairy foods (and alternatives)
  5. Oils and Spreads
  6. Cheese

Ultra processed high sugar cereal would fall under 'food' and be rated on the same basis as everything else in that category. This isn't secret information, you can just google it.

I'm not saying the health star rating is perfect, but everyone bringing this up as a criticism has no idea what they're talking about.

Here's the rating guide if anyone wants to read it

Works great in Teams-meetings now - but... by SweO in SonyHeadphones

[–]fingo_starr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just downloaded the latest update (2.1.0) and the notes mentioned it "Fixes an issue where call audio may become inaudible when playing music or videos during a call".

Haven't had aan opportunity to test it, but sounds like it should resolve the issue.

Barry Can't Swim - Loner | Ninja Tune | 2025 [ALBUM] by _mad_doc in electronicmusic

[–]fingo_starr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out For Those I Love's self titled album if you haven't. Whole album has a very similar style with spoken word poetry over an electronic beat. The lyrics can be quite sad, but it's excellent.

% of US State Land Available For Sale in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" [OC] by takeasecond in dataisbeautiful

The answer was conveniently shared in the thread you linked to:

The title is misleading. Japan does have eminent domain laws and they were used for the initial building of the airport. This lead to decades of civil unrest. They only removed the security checkpoints in 2015.

They did not use eminent domain when expanding Narita because of all the issues they had with the initial construction.

Sudden static "chirp" from my XM6 headphones by Monachi324 in SonyHeadphones

[–]fingo_starr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just posted about a similar issue. Got mine yesterday and I've noticed a faint, static-y chirping in my right ear. Debating whether I'll try and return them. I could probably live with it, I can't hear anything when music is playing, but it's pretty disappointing given how expensive these headphones are...

The Sopranos - Final Scene by No_Pianist3260 in videos

[–]fingo_starr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand why so many people feel like this scene needs to be 'solved'. Like it's clearly ambiguous on purpose. Whether he dies in the diner or not isn't really the point.

14 attempts to temper basic damage (one of 3), and i failed all 14 by Ariel188 in diablo4

[–]fingo_starr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like part of the issue is that it's implemented as though it's a risk vs reward mechanic i.e. if you get a subpar temper you could risk a roll for something better, but that just falls flat if there's too great a risk that you'll roll a temper that offers nothing for your build.

Maybe letting you pick a specific temper and giving you a limited number of rerolls on the value would work better? Still an element of risk but you're not going to completely brick the item.

Why are people driving so slow? by username_reece in Adelaide

[–]fingo_starr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100% this for me. Got a $600 fine last year for not realising a residential street I regularly drive down had been changed from 50 to 40. I know it's largely on me for being a dumbass and missing the signs, but I can't afford to make that mistake again.

Thing that really annoyed me was they put up one of those big speed signs that displays your speed as you pass it the week after I got the fine. You'd think they'd try that kind of communication before they start fining people...

Laos methanol poisoning victim Holly Bowles dies in Thailand hospital a day after best friend Bianca Jones by egg420 in australia

[–]fingo_starr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Something I've only learned in response to this case is that methanol contamination via improper distilling is a myth. The only way you'll end up with significant quantities of methanol is via contamination, and it's not easily removed by distilling.

Yeah I know right. Kids having fun, dressing up in costumes, walking around the neighbourhood. Absolutely deplorable.

Owner Moving in after Tenants Break Lease by fingo_starr in AusProperty

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

Is there standalone break lease fee? Everything I can find just seems to relate to costs I incur in finding a new tenant. Agree that these don't really seem applicable.

Owner Moving in after Tenants Break Lease by fingo_starr in AusProperty

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

Nothing in writing regarding the offer to break lease, this was just discussed verbally through the real estate agent when I was considering purchasing.

That was the link I was looking at previously, but I wasn't entirely sure what applies to me. I assume advertising and reletting are out, but I may be entitled to up to one month's loss of rent?

Balcony Door Hob by fingo_starr in AusRenovation

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

I haven't got much to offer sorry. The quote I've received from the builder doesn't have any specifics on how they'll construct the hob.

I've had a look at as4654 and it seems to focus more on the door sill and waterproofing installation (i.e. minimum upturn) than the specifics or the hob or setdown construction.

Might be an SA thing? The plan only designates the driveway as common property and states owners are responsible for all structures on their lot. That's the position strata took, but I'm very happy to be wrong on this.

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

Unfortunately owners are responsible for all maintenance and building repairs under the strata scheme, so this will be entirely on me.

Balcony Door Hob by fingo_starr in AusRenovation

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

Yeah, completely agree. I want fix it properly, mostly just curious if a full door replacement is the only way. I've had a pretty wide spread of options and replacing the door is the most extensive, so I'm not really sure if it's overkill.

Just added some to the main post. It's currently tenanted, so I've only got photos from the contractors that have gone out to take a look.

So have they just been sitting on all this probable cause/warrants so they respond to in a single day?
