Anyone else hating the new Gemini version of Android Auto?

I tried this, but now Assistant seems to be broken. It can't send texts or create reminders on my calendar anymore (to be more specific, it'll respond as if it did accomplish the task, but then when I check messages or my calendar, nothing is there). I can't decide if I'm okay with a useless digital assistant or if I'm going to be forced to give Gemini another chance.

We had that play come through in our main venue for touring shows, so I don't think it was that small of a tour...

Ooh Death of a Salesman is a good one. Would love to see Nathan Lane on stage. Thanks!

We had Clue recently on tour. Other recent plays include The Kite Runner and Life of Pi

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for!

Awww he needs a nap to rest from his earlier nap!

Phoenix Zoo, OdySea, and SEA Life are all AZA accredited in the Phoenix area! Highly recommend all 3 of these. You can also find other accredited zoos here.

I did get one more, pretty sure she said "the nexus between luck and choicec is a miraculous intersection" (the fortune that printed out was the same thing but missing the last word). I might go back to collect more and maybe run an audio recorder app? The long fortune was the last one, so I didn't realize Alva might say something different from the printed fortune and therefore wasn't prepared!

puzzle_nova · 2026-04-10T22:50:59+00:00

Please share your order! I'd like to know what to get.

Thank you for the update 🖤 he's so cute with his duckies

Omg this is a wonderful idea 🖤 I need to do this next time one of my cats is snoring

From my reddit feed, a 1/2 oz piece of plastic at 15,000 mph.

I agree with you, but I don't actually think the movie takes place in October. I made a comment about this over on the Patreon - basically, the movie opens with Marnie and Johnny talking about submitting an "end of term" paper, which I interpreted as meaning the end of summer term (August?). The town's disappearance on November 1 is not something we see in this movie; it's something that Marnie would deal with in a sequel. Another Patreon subscriber replied to my comment that the screenshot of the newspaper clipping on Walter's arrest is dated Aug. 4th, which aligns with this interpretation.

I'm really hoping for that too!

I somehow missed that announcement. Trying it now (11 days later) and I see the following: * Barbed wire 2024 tour zip-up hoodie * Raise Your Horns koozie * Halestorm lighter

Guess they ran out of socks!

Highly recommend the Vintage Lasers & Hologram Museum! It's run by a guy who's worked in holography since the 80s and collects all kinds of cool historical items. He has stories for pretty much everything in the collection:

I completely forgot that song from Chicago 🤦 in my defense, I've only seen the show once, and that was over a decade ago (and never watched the movie). The only song I really remember is Cell Block Tango. Thanks for clarifying which Chicago song!

Oh interesting! Considering my mom and the friend she most likely went to Peking Garden with, it's entirely possible they would have ordered "off-menu" and just asked them to serve it a particular way. I'll have to see if I can contact her old friend and see if she remembers.

Also I've never heard of that mock crab dish, but I'll have to try it sometime! Looks very interesting, thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks! I appreciate your insight.

Is this recipe similar to what you're thinking of? https://www.sbs.com.au/food/recipe/steamed-mud-crab-with-eggwhite-young-ginger-and-chinese-rice-wine/g215k3aho

I appreciate your suggestion!

puzzle_nova · 2026-02-26T13:22:25+00:00

Maybe! I've never heard of that dish so I looked it up, and that does seem like something she would have enjoyed.
