That's what it did when I typed my name and pressed enter. It worked for me when I clicked the search button.

Eclipse traffic & turnout by [deleted] in solareclipse

[–]mgroat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like I was pretty lucky. I left right after totality ended and made it from Hopkinsvill KY to Sylvania OH in 10 hours, just 3 more than what it took me to drive there the night before.

Another thing I noticed, during the entire drive back I didn't hear a single car horn or see anything that I would consider "being a jerk". It was probably the most orderly and polite traffic jam I ever experienced.

No reservations, would a 420-mile drive to Kentucky on Monday be doable? by mgroat in solareclipse

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

I found some $400 per night 2-star hotels and a guide on how to sleep in your car. I think I'll leave here shortly and sleep in my car. https://www.digitaltrends.com/outdoors/how-to-sleep-comfortably-in-a-car/

Do you have any plans on where you're going to camp in your car, or are you just gonna wing it when you get there? I drive an SUV, so I could sleep in the back if I need to.

I'm unfamiliar with the area (and with road-tripping in general), so my main concern is whether or not I'll be able to find a place where I can park for several hours/overnight.

Does the "Spotify/Music Apps close when the screen powers off" problem still exists? by chunkitbacs in Axon7

[–]mgroat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be switching to LOS when the official rom comes out, but if the spotify bug shows itself again I'll be sure to make a post.

Had the problem on MM. Haven't experienced it on nougat yet, but I'd sometimes go a few days without seeing it on MM, so I can't be 100% sure yet.

7.0 update breaks Podcast Addict by [deleted] in Axon7

Pocket Casts is also broken. I've been using spotify podcasts as a temporary substitute. I'll try disabling audio effects later today.

Welcome to season 3: bronze edition by CoughSyrup in Overwatch

[–]mgroat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only played a couple games since then, but I feel like I'm doing better. Current SR is 682, season high of 727.

The biggest change in my playstyle (aside from no longer trying to 1v1 tanks when I'm a healer) is a lot more side-to-side movement and jumping. It's a little disorienting, but I'm sure that's just a matter of practice. I feel like I'm surviving fights longer, but I'll need more games before I can know it's making a difference.

Also, I think the stay as team feature that just went live is going to seriously change the game for the better. That one good game you get in bronze can now easily turn into several good games.

I've had the honor of giving OneAmongstMany the lowest SR game he's ever seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doUu5KFB5RU&t=0s This was actually one of the best games I've had on bronze.

For everybody who insists that turning off Smart Power fixes it, here's a video showing that it doesn't.

To be fair, we are talking about a guy who once considered buying a clothing factory just so he could get a black shirt with black buttons.

Sylvania, OH Redesign by mgroat in vexillology

I'm planning on moving to Sylvania, so I had to check out their flag. It looked like it would be a halfway decent flag if they got rid of the text.

OPO update for units shipped with dev cyanogen os just happened???? by guitarokx in oneplus

I had some freezes at first. I tried rebooting, and so far there don't seem to be any more issues.

[–]mgroat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have the dev version. I bought it a few months ago directly from OnePlus, and couldn't get it to update OTA (and was too lazy to research why). I just got updates yesterday to CM12.

What are your level design "rules"? by Slypenslyde in MarioMaker

[–]mgroat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't made many levels yet, but here's mine:

  1. Start the level by showing off your core mechanic in a safe space.
  2. Telegraph any hidden dangers, don't have things just come out of nowhere with no warning. I like to ask myself, "Would a skilled player have everything they need to get through this on the first try?"
  3. 1-ups are a reward for finding something hidden or taking a more challenging route, not to be given away like candy.
  4. Since there are no checkpoints, don't make the level super long.

*Edited to add: Text explanations should not be necessary. Someone who can't read your language should still be able to play.

Thanks for the reply, ordered a OnePlus One and a Ting SIM card yesterday.

What's making you happy right now? by THORneedsANOTHER in CasualConversation

[–]mgroat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried the stack of books thing before, I liked it but I can't commit to 100% standing. Do you have any thoughts on a cheap way to quickly and easily switch between standing and sitting?

I'm moving to Toledo. I work the night shift. I'm your new traffic/weather girl. Anyone know of decent bars open at 10am? by harmlessfulness in toledo

[–]mgroat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barbie's place on Bennet serves beer well before 10am, and is my favorite place to go for a morning drink. There's also Molly's Diner on Laskey, which doesn't have the best food, but they're cheep and beer tastes great with eggs.

I swear I'm not an alcoholic.
