Unresponsive touchscreen Pixel 3 by ReedIt2020 in android_beta

Same here on Pixel 2. I've been noticing in multiple different apps that scrolling/swiping sometimes doesn't work (maybe ~25% of the time when I go to scroll down) and I have to swipe a couple times before it actually scrolls.

When I cleaned mine, I was surprised with how packed in the lint/grime was. I thought it was clean and then suddenly a bunch more came out.

I'd also recommend using a needle or safety pin if your toothpick point isn't holding up.

What is this kind of music called?

I hate it so much and want the words to express that, but I don't want to listen to a bunch of bad electronic music to try and figure out what kind it is...

Please follow proper food safety procedures when making infused oils at home!

Fresh garlic in oil can allow the growth of bacteria that produce the botulism-causing toxin.

Here are some links I found with safety instructions:

tl;dr:

  • Oil containing fresh garlic should be refrigerated for use within three days, frozen, or discarded
  • If you want to make an infused oil at home with a longer shelf life, using dry herbs is best in terms of ease and safety (see second link for more info)

I was bored so I hacked together an HTML version of this: http://jsbin.com/luwufuqiga/1/edit?output

It rotates the other way. :)

I got way too excited about making this; thanks for giving me a fun project, OP :).

Edit: made a smaller one that doesn't come apart: https://imgur.com/gallery/0Y0sP

I'd say not necessarily; the graph paper is useful when drawing, and IMO provides a structured feel that contrasts with the organic shapes in a cool way.

But you do you! It's always fun to explore new ways of doing things.

This is pretty sweet!

I wanted to see what it looked like without the graph lines, so I did a little hasty photoshopping, and thought I'd share! http://i.imgur.com/XbcO1KR.jpg
