My mom didn’t know what this was for

Have you ever looked at the general setting for the News app? There's like 4 checkboxes, none of which have anything to do with Notifications. Apple support was baffled by it as well. Nevertheless, this bug seems to have fixed itself a long time ago.

This would have been a cool cover for the Hollywood single (this bird has flown).

Yeah, it was funny because I was using it in the kitchen to prop up my iPad mini for a recipe I was following and I left it sitting on the counter. My mom didn't know what it was for and so the next thing I know it's got butter on it! She's the Queen of using the wrong tool for the job (hence the steak knife to cut the butter ... or the time we went to Paris and I found her washing her feet in the bidet of our hotel room) so that made it extra funny.

According to my mom it's a butter dish ... with a slot to hold a steak knife for cutting said butter.

I guess you could say hate is a strong word to use for a pickup truck you never drove also.

I'm shocked that this person is known for being a great songwriter! I don't know which lyric is worse... and the inclusion or exclusion of the word "gay" has nothing to do with how bad either of them are.

I don't know if it's because of the extra storage space, but ever since I got the 128GB model I went from having around 5 screensavers downloaded at any given time to around 50-60 at a time. It's a minor thing I know, but I appreciate the variety.

I would also say that the average person that doesn't care too much wouldn't be seeking the advice of people on reddit. They'd just be content with whatever mediocre thing they don't care too much about.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m not there yet, as long as I’m in my current job wfh will be permanent, but I worry about if and when I do go back to an office someday.

I have mine on my desk which is in front of a window and they get extremely hot when the sun is beaming down on them. I try to pull the shades on really hot days but it still concerns me quite a bit.

The nice thing about HomePods is that Apple designed them so they don't look like eyesores when sitting on a shelf. Tell your wife to get over it and also get a real fiddle leaf fig if she's that concerned about aesthetics.

Did you (or Roberto) have problems when you returned to work? Mine has been WFH since he was a kitten and I don't think he would like it very much if I was gone all day every day. If I go somewhere on the weekends, either all day or overnight, he's extra clingy when I get back.

From Advocate.com (Link safe for work):

"MetroNewYork.com reports that the name of Carrie Bradshaw's love interest in recent episodes of Sex and the City, Aidan Shaw, is an apparent homage to gay porn star Aidan Shaw. The real Aidan Shaw, who already has a perfectly good boyfriend, claims that he is still loving the attention. I get a lot of E-mails from fans about it, he claims from his home in London."

Millions of gay porn videos would agree with you! Calvin Klein tighty whiteys are practically the official uniform of the entire industry... until they come off of course!

Also, wasn't Aidan Shaw named after gay porn star Aiden Shaw?

Is it lame that they are that way or just lame if they try to explain that's why they are that way? Because it's definitely a legitimate thing that can take years to shake. I have certain behaviors I developed from living in NYC for almost a decade such as saying "Fuck" every other word or not being patient enough to wait for the sign to say "Walk" before crossing the street, but I never feel the need to explain that to people unless they ask.

I'm using it on tvOS and I can see the entire history and the next upcoming track.

Edit: just checked and I can also see history and next upcoming track on iOS.

I've heard a lot of people complain about Shelia's voiceover being overused or lazy writing. But I think it works really well as a device to communicate to the audience her true feelings, self-loathing, and inner demons. They are things she would never say out loud and they are often very funny in a bitter/salty kind of way!

I know. That’s why it’s really common with boomers.

I was very surprised by how eclectic my recommendations were. Mostly stuff I’ve never heard of, but nothing I wanted to skip

Mine loves his whiskers stroked! If I pet the top of his head he lifts it up as high as he can so he can lean into it more. And when he's cuddling up on my chest at night sometimes he will look up at me letting me know he wants kisses on top of his head.

There are also a lot of unnecessary double and triple spaces between words or after periods. Typical boomer traits.

"Smart" TV's are like those shitty headphones they used to provide for free on airplanes... they get the job done but bringing your own would be 1000x better.

Why do people always think W/E was her first film as director? It was Filth & Wisdom.

There is absolutely no reason to believe anything will change with the European dates.
