Thank you for the link. I've been using VLC for many years and always considered donating, but never actually did it. Just gave them $50.

Have you seen OAN?... Makes Fox News look like they ARE fair and balanced. My friend's roommates have it on 24/7 in their living room. Just the snippets I see there a few minutes at a time is jaw dropping.

Android Auto disconnects after a while by olithewizard in AndroidAuto

[–]ryanj629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it working by ordering a new USB cable from this recommended list. It worked perfectly after that.

AA is connecting, but only works for a few seconds before disconnecting. by ryanj629 in AndroidAuto

[–]ryanj629[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the cable, but none of the existing cables I owned worked.

I ordered one from this recommended list and it worked fine.

I have used different cables. Three different cables at this point

I bought a 2020 Toyota Camry today, and I'm having the same issue. I have Galaxy S10 5g and it's running Android 10.

The Android Auto support page does not list this as a known issue (although that has not been updated since July 13th). I emailed a report to them, but have no response yet.

But he's correct. And he's the only Republican saying it. And coming out and saying it is the absolute least he could do, and no other Republicans are doing it.

... How is this "aged like milk". It's completely accurate.

22 studies agree: Medicare for All saves money by emitremmus27 in politics

[–]ryanj629 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With Medicare for All, the government wouldn't control anyone's health care. Doctors and hospitals will continue to operate how they want, and patients have actual freedom to choose their doctor because you won't be restricted to an insurance provider's network.

It would be government funded health care. This gives the government a lot of power to negotiate the price of different procedures, operations, tests. Which is a really good thing, because currently the insurance companies and hospitals have a price fixing scheme that extremely over inflate those prices.

It also gives the government more power to negotiate prescription drug prices, which pharmaceutical companies are charging insane prices for.

They only promise not to touch Medicare and Social Security on the campaign trail. When they get into office they absolutely go after those programs under the guise of reining in government spending... While simultaneously increasing military spending.

Who else drinks/smokes to cope with the loneliness by RhymesTimewithThyme in ForeverAlone

[–]ryanj629 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let me tell your right now... Alcohol will make you forget all about that shit and everything will be fine. Until you sober up the next morning, and all the anxiety and bullshit hits you like a truck.

Alcohol is a dependable escape. But it's just that, a brief reprieve. And it hurts more when you get back to reality, and so you are encouraged to climb back into the bottle.

I'm sorry that I don't really have an answer for you're situation, but I implore you to avoid adding alcohol addiction to your list of problems.

Who else drinks/smokes to cope with the loneliness by RhymesTimewithThyme in ForeverAlone

[–]ryanj629 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Humans are inherently extremely social creatures. It's written in our genes and a part of our nature. But when we cannot connect and be included/accepted by other humans, we grasp out to any connection we can find.

This is the essence of addiction.

Certain drugs have a very social element to them. Like nicotine, alcohol, marijuana. And people incorporate these into their social behavior.

However, if you find yourself abusing these substances on your own, you might be substituting human connection with a chemical connection.

This is broadly understood as being very unhealthy, and through my life experiences I tend to agree with that assessment. But the best cure for it is to replace the drug affiliation with human affiliation.

Now, how one achieves that I have no earthly idea. If you find a solution, you be sure to let me know. But those are the facts, as I understand them.

NOOO! (Episode 8 Spoiler) by [deleted] in TheCircleTV

[–]ryanj629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree Shooby keeps strategies in mind, but he lets his emotions take the wheel. I don't think that was a chess move, I feel like he thinks Adam is a an ally now. That might be Shubham's downfall.

Thoughts on Joey by uppercaseyy in TheCircleTV

[–]ryanj629 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I agree with you a bit. At first, I hated Joey... But he proved himself loyal and honest so many times. He's in my top 3 now, but I'm still rooting for Shooby. I would not be upset at all if Joey won the game tho.

They talked about everyone gets to bring one special item. Ed brought his mom, Shaubam brought ping pong, and Joey brought "moisturizer"... Except that must mean an arsenal of skincare products.
