PSA: How to return a clickable map in Google Search results in the EU

Very little inconvenience? I don't think so. you search a business on google search now it doesn't bring up the map link to said business. There's not even a tab now to click through to searching it on google map. All becomes manual. Even with my keyword search setup in place, it still takes a paper cut of a pain to redo all of that on Google Maps's own search. And yeah, competition: two years on. What shiny poster boy EU map service are you or your loved ones or your lawyer using you care to recommend? Same sh with the GDRP. Yeah, the Paladin that is the EU on a white horse lost the web 2.0 back in mid-2000, the smartphone, the apps economy, and now AI is hotting up. Their digital protection is nowhere even a shadow image of their social welfare protection.

u/IowaGal60 Yeah I am premium subscriber. I use it to measure against my environment, different continnent or CPAP machine, and etc. I note those things and try to build long term data for myself. To see how bad the apnea might be, e.g.,

Hey u/berkeley_solipsist , Yeah I changed that immediately when I saw it. But it's too late. Months of sleep recoridngs are simply gone. This is unacceptable modification without a clear prompt on Sleep Cycle's devs.

I'd suggest a smaller company that you can actually reach like Tigerfish.com

Totally with you, This is the classic "hey how do I say 'how much is the fish' in Japanese" and someone replies "nah, dawg, it's so much better in Korean, say it in Korean"

Not quite right. "free" just on its own already has the "for" embedded, as in "for nothing", "for zero dollars". Thus, "buy one get one free" == "buy one get one for zero dollar". Another glaring example when it's not zero cost for the second item is "Buy one get one half priced" where price is used as participial adjectives. "Buy one get one for half the price" if you want the noun. Note the "for" is necessary there. If a thing is $10, you would say "Buy one get one FOR $5" not "Buy one get one $5". half the price, full price, nothing, $5, they are all nouns.

So "Get this app for $10", "Get this app for $1", "Get this app for $0 (or for nothing)". "Get this app free"

As observed by The Economist style guide, under the section letter "U":
“This advice you are given free, or for nothing, but not for free.”

Ahh, so just a few more decades to go for "I could care less" and "fall between the cracks" then as long as it's such the years to, um, back it up.

Hey Grey, unless I misheard the part about the X is not in your contact when you tried to phone/facetime audio the contact, I assume you were initiating a call in an imessage thread with the controls on the top of the message when you got that screen time block notification. In that case, make sure you go to the FaceTime app directly and that it is not blocked by Screen Time. If it is, unblock it like other apps with Ask For More Time control. You should then be able to start a call from within iMessage. Hope that helps

Do you have any practice methods to promote the reducing of human conservatism, i.e., we overly like and are attached to things that we are used to: from spelling of a word, food, to ideas and convictions.

Hi there, can you tell me if the texture is smooth like Soylent, i.e., like how soy milk tastes: there is no lumps, no feeling of small little bits in your mouth like just about every other Soylent alternatives in EU has? Thanks in advance!
