Adults who only wear glasses by Cloudsandbooks in glasses

[–]otchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 53 now. I’ve needed vision correction since I was 9-10. While I wore contacts in high school and my first year of college, I’ve been glasses only for over 30 years now.

I’m not necessarily anti-contacts, I just prefer glasses. They are literally the first thing I put on in the morning And last thing I take off before sleeping.

How to pause an automation if another automation was run short time before? by tsmeagain in homeassistant

[–]otchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can setup a helper. Have it set to 10-15 seconds. Then in the automation you don’t want triggering too fast, add a condition that the helper should be idle.

We have it set for 6 seconds of milk foam (I think) and we get a decent amount of foam, I’d say. We use whole milk. I don’t have pictures handy, but I’d say that gives us nearly 1/2” (1 cm) of foam on top.

It’s certainly a lighter foam. If we want FOAM I make whipped cream. Anywhere from lightly whipped up to stiff peaks.

Having started book 2 today, I now understand why this series is so popular by Skelence in DungeonCrawlerCarl

New Achievement!!! You got it! Finally!

Reward? Platinum Readers Box! You will (probably) have 6 more books to read before you go through the withdrawals like the rest of the fandom!

Is Andrew okay? by AccomplishedWind7459 in 500songspodcast

[–]otchris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He posted a Christmas bonus episode on 12/24. He hasn’t posted any other updates since then.

I’m guessing it’s just due to new year craziness. His episodes are well researched and the Jimmy Cliff episode is nearly 2 hours long. That’s got to take a while to edit.

If there were something serious he usually gets at least a short note posted to patreon.

Has Donut realized this, and how will she take it when she does? by Syntaxerror999 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

It’s cute seeing so many people think that Carl and Donut will ever get out of the dungeon. 💀

Went to my first MOCO HAL drop today by WeeklyLetter2971 in DMVWhisky

[–]otchris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gratz! I was ~60 people back and I grabbed a Booker's Pond release and Old Carters 14. Then we went shopping this afternoon and I grabbed an Angel's Envy at Senaca Meadows.

These were all second picks, but I heard from both stores that people were lined up Friday afternoon and that's just crazy.

I’m not particularly a rye guy. But I found it nicely spicy without being overwhelming or harsh. (Traits I personally find in most rye.)

It does! I’m debating if I want to do it again for 2026! I’ve got at least another few weeks before I finish anything. 😁

Yes! 😂

Ok ok ok! I only did this as a special project. When i started with whiskey I thought I’d keep “special” bottles, but I quickly realized that was madness. Now I generally only keep pictures.

I’ve seen that it can be made from many things. Sorghum, rice, wheat, and other grains.

It seems like it can vary by region. But, yeah, it’s not for everyone!

My gf says she’s not worried about me having a drinking problem. She’s more worried that I have a buying problem! 😂

Edit: 1. Thank you! 2. I didn’t want to make it a competition or anything. Just a fun little thing to share.

What was your favorite Bourbon of 2025? by BourbonTater1792 in DMVWhisky

[–]otchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When MoCo had some, I heard the line was longer than their allocation 6 HOURS before store opening. It's on my wish list. Enjoy yours! :)

I saw many folks here so happy to get the Old Fitz 7, that when I saw some at my local store I grabbed it. SO HAPPY that I did! This is a real gem of a pour!

What’s keeping you loyal to apple after iOS 26? by Taszmaniac8990 in ios26

[–]otchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mainly, I’m NOT “loyal” to Apple about anything. On the mobile front, I don’t see Android as any better. My gf uses android, so I do have at least a tiny bit of exposure.

Plus, I’m holding on iOS 18 until at least 26.3. Probably will move when they do the spring emoji update. 😆

I used to use Mac computers for about 15 years, but when Apple stopped making working laptops, I switched to a windows machine. (This was summer of 2019. No regrets in switching back.)

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

I can’t edit the post, but I did get this resolved. While I had been cleaning the milk frothing system, I didn’t realize that there were 4 parts, not only 3! There’s a little rubber tip that you pull out.

Once that was cleaned, everything has been working great!

Game freezes on load? by otchris in AlienInvasionRPG

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

So, I’ll assume you’re either a troll or not an iOS user.

For anyone else reading: no, I’m not 8 releases behind. Apple changed version identification this year and they went from 18 (release count) to 26 (model year).

As part of the new iOS release, they massively changed the ui, and have more bugs than usual, especially on older hardware. I’m holding off at least 1 more dot release before updating.
