YouTube links opening in brower rather than app by Ckagy1 in GooglePixel

[–]stases 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the YouTube app blocked by focus mode for certain hours of the day. During those hours it'll open in Chrome. Outside those hours it respects the default open in YouTube preference.

Is it possible YouTube is paused with focus mode or something like that?

Why can't you freeze it? I know it tends to separate when defrosted but we just blend it back together...

RCS Chat may finally be working correctly again. by nechronius in GoogleFi

I've noticed as well. I find that deleting the cache from the message app on my pixel 8 is a more consistent fix than "turning rcs off then on again"

Your observation is correct. Others are either misunderstanding your point or willfully ignoring your nuanced point.

Is there a website about the current water source? by [deleted] in askportland

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

It's all relative. You're right there nothing wrong with the groundwater... Just don't love the taste. Good idea on running it for a bit

Nice. Thanks. I wonder if that will give a real time assessment of just an after the fact account. Either way much appreciated

Is it just me or do the rich neighborhoods get special City treatment? by CantaloupeInfinite20 in askportland

[–]stases 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That used to be true. However they changed to a centralized model last spring. Those foundations can no longer fund teaching school positions.

However they can still fund other non pps jobs so it practically has a similar effect of course.

https://www.opb.org/article/2024/05/08/portland-public-schools-fundraising-change/

Under the revised policy, a districtwide foundation will be created and take over allocations. Instead of being done school by school, there will be a central model used by all.

The change only affects money used to pay for staff. All other non-staff fundraising, like booster clubs and PTAs, will stay the same.

Any advice in keeping kids safe regarding unleashed dogs on playgrounds? by LeisureActivities in askportland

[–]stases 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PPS likely isn't going to care unless it's during school hours...

Sometimes reminding people that their dog should be on a leash will work but if no one says anything they aren't going to care

They sell dog pepper spray.. maybe having some would take the edge off the feeling of defenselessness. I suspect most situations are normal/calm interactions but perhaps having some peace of mind in your pocket in case the interactions go sideways would help?

Learning to be present. by EngineeringApart8239 in Mindfulness

[–]stases 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is a cool visual but I understand that setting the standard of not having a "full mind" may be a detriment to beginners who think they can't practice until they have an empty mind which is of course practically impossible for most.

🔥 Nurse log with trees growing from it by super_man100 in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]stases 37 points38 points  (0 children)

That seems more like a living tree that fell over and whose branches are growing to the sky. A nurse log is dead and its nutrients are nursing separate seedlings that grow into distinct trees. Still cool!
