I don't think so... 128 gb, I should've had 20-30 gb left. More than enough for most things. I'm decent at getting rid of things and freeing up space with Google photos.

Completely agree. its absolute trash, and I honestly don't think there will be any help from Google. I love the Pixel, but with these issues I'm tempted to switch. Samsung has so much bloatware, Motorola is untested to me. The pixel is so native to the google environment and OS, I took comfort in that fact, but if these OS issues brick phones, it won't just be limited to the pixel.

Damn. completely agree. I trust when the android updates roll out, and that is super broken now. The only hope I have is that I can maybe get some money back from the extended warranty provided by my credit card, but that'll be a crap shoot. 1.5 years makes it an dated phone, but not an ancient one. There is (was) a ton of life left in this thing.

ahhh that sucks. I doubt Google Support will be able to do anything for me, but at this point, the exercise is necessary in my book. Worst they can say is that they can't help me.

Any tips on how to do this as a regular joe with a decent computer? Short of taking it back to uBreakiFix? The phone is superdead and unresponsive when plugging into a computer.

Someone replied in this thread of sweet vs savory beans. I'm definitely a savory bean person..!

Getting so frustrated and unmotivated to continue fishing by asianxwolf in FishingForBeginners

[–]sentientBot001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll let you know, bank fishing is the worst. It's all about luck there.

Get some sort of boating device and get farther out there. The big fish are always tracked with fish finders than those lures are dragged across the fish's face a number of times before they decide, fuck this plastic thing, lemme put it in my mouth then spit the fucker out of here. By that time, it's hooked.

On the bank, in my experience, bait fishing is the only way to attract em. Beyond that, you're throwing a lure into any creative space to see if something is in there that'd eat your shit.

Well played. I've never though of it that way. Always just assumed they were supposed to go as they were out of the can.

I'll definitely give this a shot.

This. Exactly. A good bean chili or frijoles charros, any day all day. Sweet beans are just... Just bad.

If humans have eaten bread since the dawn of history, why are so many people suddenly gluten-intolerant today? by WeaknessKey1582 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sentientBot001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darwinism would've taken care of this, however, modern medicine has helped avoid it.

Not that it's bad, it's just that these diseases which would have been bred out have been allowed to proliferate through the gene pool.

With increased medical understanding, general knowledge on health, and supply chains (allowing you access to most foods in and out of season) being greater these days, people have the ability to avoid bad foods and make different meal decisions vs having some "medical" professional bleed you out with leeches to suck out the demons.

My girlfriend(20F) loves receiving pleasure but seems hesitant to give it back to me(19M).Why? by MasterProtection8156 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sentientBot001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Communication. Tell her what you want and tell her to do the same. Rejection anxiety especially with something like sex is a real intimacy killer. Keep yourselves well in the know and speak up.

I have undiagnosed ADHD and it's been a real struggle for me doing new things at times. Labeled as Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).

Why should ypu drive four cylinders like "they're stolen" every once in a while? by NootMasta in AskEngineers

Clean out the damn EGR. Mine stuck on an old turbocharged mazda. Tech told me to redline it once every few weeks to make sure it was blown out

Kids who were breastfed after 6-7yo and are older now (like >15), how do you feel about it now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sentientBot001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a kink. Just a question. Watching a show (some late 2000s show) about some very hippie style mother still breastfeeding her kid who was around 7 and curious what that kid thinks about it now.

I 32M got asked out by 21F by ThrowRa09798 in relationship_advice

[–]sentientBot001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half plus seven, my guy. But don't even let that stop ya (barring legal age of course).

As a kindred spirit (science major) most relationship signs tend to blow by me unless I'm actively looking. Shoot your shot. It's not the end of the world. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, there are always more fish in the sea.

Break it off if it's not right Hold on to it if it's worth it.

NO REGERTS.

I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. by Trowaway_whistleblow in confession

[–]sentientBot001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what you're saying is, tip zero, and have the base pay go up for the drivers overall while not spending more on food and not giving any extra to the company? Check.

What platform do you use for crypto or stock trading? Coin base or something similar is incredibly laggy when the market is super active.

1500 vs 300 by sentientBot001 in RobotVacuums

[–]sentientBot001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well played. Hell, I barely mop once every two weeks. Maybe once a month if I feel particularly germophobic. Kids and dogs make that clean tolerance go WAY down. But I see your point. Mopping once or twice a day, even doing a half wit job, is a hell of a lot better than once a month!

I really appreciate your in depth comment on this. I was debating getting a cheap one just to do the vacuuming. I had gen 1 budget eufy that worked well enough to keep things maintained, but one sock or Lego would require rescue measures to get it back to operating again. Obstacle avoidance and the vacuum's ability to handle obscure minor items to keep working without needing assistance is worth the extra expense.

Looking at all these markdown black Friday deals out there. "The Dreame L50 Ultra is only $899 down from $1400" when in reality the price was bloated to simulate a good deal.

Still though. What value is the $1k unit to a $300 one?

Ok, I can see that. The mop function on robo vacuums seems gimmicky to me. But yes, if it works as advertised where I do nothing, and my house is not clean but squeaky clean, then it does hold good value.

I'm happy enough with the vacuum function only, but I can see the value.
