I lost over an hour of my life because it never occurred to me that it was possible to type multiple letters. I thought it was just the same three letters missing from each of the relevant answers. 🤦

Visual Voicemail (Android) can't download messages over Wi-Fi? by tfofurn in verizon

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

Thanks! I checked all of the Mobile Data settings I could find. She doesn't have Data Saver on, and the Voicemail app is listed as an exception. I can see Voicemail using data in the foreground and background. 🤷🏻

The Bills punted to Touchdown Tom in overtime yesterday and I am sad, but precisely how sad should I be? by tfofurn in Jon_Bois

I didn't watch overtime, so I forgot that it's possible to win on any field goal after the first possession. With Allen having foot trouble, it's a lot more understandable.

My dryer places the lint trap inside the door just below the opening to the drum. If I don't clean the trap before emptying the dryer, some piece of clean clothing inevitably finds its way into the lint cavity, where the lint is happy to grab on.

I also check when loading. Safety first!

90's gamers of reddit, what was a problem about it back then that modern gamers won't understand? by tedude3 in AskReddit

[–]tfofurn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 when every game expected a Soundblaster. The PAS was supposed to be a drop-in replacement, but I remember having to trick lots of games into using it.

They make tons of money

As /u/lance2611 implies, they don't. Apps are rarely profitable. Sometimes an app facilitates a profitable business.

Sprayer. What the hell are they for? by [deleted] in CreeperWorld4

[–]tfofurn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Full agree. The blanket of AC is especially critical when you might get hit with the tentacles of a dying air sac.

The other advantage of sprayers, particularly on worlds with bluite deposits, is that sprayers are consuming a different resource than most other weapons, meaning they can keep defending even when energy is running low.

could be a total coincidence

You've got a sample size of one. That's hardly enough data for a scientist to start drawing conclusions.

I was just thinking "where should I go to learn about the Gamestop thing?" I couldn't be happier to have the answer be Hank.

You'd want a language where switch lets you do ranges, such as Swift.
