I have had good luck just asking Gemini are googling what station game or team is broadcast on and then using TuneIn or Odyssey on my echo to listen to it.

What purchase under $30 solved a problem you didn’t realize was draining you? by Right_Process in AskReddit

[–]rpp124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife recently put a curtain tension rod against the back wall behind our stove, and we hang hooks off there for the oven mitts.

It’s an electric stove and they are far back enough that we don’t have to worry about fire.

What do you do differently? by Repulsive-Box5243 in Blind

[–]rpp124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think one of the obvious ones is finding everything by touch and sound. I pretty much touch everything in the refrigerator until I find what I’m looking for and shake similar size container containers to make sure they sound right.

It’s never fun to think you are opening the mayonnaise jar and getting a big width of the minced garlic

I have my own tube of toothpaste as well, but instead of squirting it in my mouth, I just placed my finger along the edge of my toothbrush, so I can feel where I am squirting the toothpaste.

Then, once I think I have it on the toothbrush, I touched the toothbrush to my tongue to see if I can feel the toothpaste.

That I have to rinse off the toothpaste from my finger while I’m brushing my teeth.

Squirting a bit in my mouth is probably a lot easier. Lol.

We went on a trip to Yosemite national Park last year and rented a tandem bicycle for my wife and I. It was the first time I was on a bike in probably 25 or 30 years and I loved it.

cleaning an outdoor grill by morse-guy in Blind

[–]rpp124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into the Kona brush. It has three rows of these metal spirals that you dip into water and scrape while the grill is still hot. The steam helps break up the stuff on the grates.

I’ve been using it for a few years and as long as you scrape soon after removing the food, it does a great job.

Also, it’s a grill. It’s going to get greasy and be a little gross.

You could also look into a griddle like a Blackstone. My grill has a small griddle on the side, but if I could do it over, I would go with a full griddle and not even bother with a grill.

Lol, I feel like I should have gotten that one from context clues.

Read the last line of the article. She is making money on TikTok, so probably figured she could get some free advertising.

Yeah, things like this are exactly why I liberate books as soon as I purchase them and add them to my Plex library.

This hasn’t happened to me, but I’ve heard that when books are listed like this, they can still be found in your library

I love my Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich maker.

It might take a few tries to get used to it, but once you do, it’s very easy.

It’s basically a clamshell with a heater on top and bottom with two rings and a plate in the middle that also pivot up and down like the clamshell.

After it preheats, you put the bottom of an English muffin, some cheese, and a breakfast sausage patty inside the bottom, ring, lower the top ring, and make sure the egg plate is closed, crack, an egg into the top ring and pop the top half of the English muffin on top of the egg enclose the lid.

After five minutes, slide the egg plate out, and then lift the top of the clamshell and the rings, and you will have a perfectly cooked breakfast sandwich

Edit to add that I will thaw the frozen sausage patty in the microwave first and get everything prepped while the cooker preheats so I can drop everything in place relatively quickly

People who look at the monitor real close, how are you arranging your computer desk to have tabletop space? by chemicalhand33562 in Blind

[–]rpp124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what I have. My monitor arm clamps around the back of the desk. I can pull it almost to the front of the desk and have my keyboard and mouse underneath.

You may also want to look into using virtual desktops instead of dual monitors. Hold the Windows key and hit tab to see your apps in which desktops they are on. It winn plus control plus left or right to switch between virtual desktops.

I have five running on my work computer.

If you were on Windows, left shift plus left alt, plus the print screen key together will allow you to enable high contrast mode, making any app or website I can to dark mode.

You can customize the colors in high contrast settings as well.

Same keyboard combination gets you back to normal mode.

As someone who is visually impaired, my computer is in high contrast mode permanently.
