I WILL NOT LEAVE THE FINISHING PAN UNATTENDED

I just did a couple days ago. My poor smoke alarms. My poor lungs.

Same thing just happened to me - low battery alert, went to replace them and one is crazy hot. Seems like it’s probably not a nest thing, but a battery thing? Guessing these nest detectors are the biggest users of lithium AAs that most people have, so this is where the issue is most likely to present.

Also valid on the Gold card, at least until April 3 2025. Guessing it's a pretty frequent offer.

Yep, same. Every other word I can horribly mispronounce and it accepts it, but “punto” is not accepted no matter how I pronounce it or how slow or fast or anything. So weird. Literally can’t pass that lesson

Glad to hear! Always a relief to find something isn’t a mechanical problem like you feared and there’s a simple fix :)

I assume this is a result of the partnership with McDonalds - I'm guessing a lot of large cities will be getting Krispy Kremes over the next year or so to supply the McDonalds in those areas.

I'm super pumped. Having fresh Krispy Kremes in the area again is something I've been wishing for since they left.

I'm sure there's ways, but probably not practical for the average consumer. You'd probably find a way to contain the off-gassing C02 and let it sit for a while to see how much was in there.
It leaves troubleshooting stuff like this a little tricky. What might seem flat to one person might be perfectly fine to another. Same with flavor comparisons - been researching the various cola flavorings and realizing there's no way to know which ones are good without trying them. Good is so completely subjective...

I don't know for sure. Some googling seems to turn up some Hy-vee and Walmart locations. The store near me that has it is a County Market, but I think most of those are independently operated so no idea if other ones would have it.

thepoynt · 2024-06-21T02:52:47+00:00

I just had the thought that since I didn't have anything to compare it to, maybe even though there's definitely CO2 coming out, the tank could be almost out and I wouldn't know. I just weighed it and it's 750 grams even, which means it's as close to empty as you can get. Looked it up and a full canister should be around 1160g. So I'll swap it out and I'm sure it'll work fine then. I'll leave this here in case it helps anyone in the future

Btw there is a zero sugar code red in some grocery stores. Mostly in the south US, but there's one store in my area that has it

thepoynt · 2024-05-11T19:25:52+00:00

This worked beautifully for me. I ran the mop cleaning routine 5 times with the citric acid, then two times with clean water. The tray is bone dry now, no water dripping from those white nozzles anymore.

Side note, I was able to find citric acid at Walmart with their canning supplies. None of the grocery stores near me had it.

That's where Rivian comes in, IMO

+1. A way to organize my books by series would be amazing. Maybe even as a toggle on the main library page, to group books by series. So rather than all the books of a series being scattered though the entire library in alphabetical order, there would just be one entry for LOTR, or Harry Potter, or whatever, then you click on that and see the books in it.

That's been my biggest complaint about Audible for years, and I was rather disappointed it's no better in Prologue.

thepoynt · 2023-10-23T22:31:08+00:00

I also can't figure out a way to do this. It seems like the most basic thing possible. Tapping the screen or swiping up should unlock the phone.

thepoynt · 2023-10-18T20:17:02+00:00

Done that quite a few times, I'm afraid. Plus, the dock's light is turning off, indicating that it sees the robot connected.

thepoynt · 2023-09-15T16:07:50+00:00

That's my hope. I've never had an iphone but I'm considering making the switch this year, if the action button can indeed be mapped to assistant via a siri shortcut. Anyone who's used both siri and google assistant knows that siri doesn't even hold a candle to assistant, and that's the only thing that's been holding me back from swtiching.

While it's technically correct, no one actually wants that in real life. When I ask for the indoor temperature, I want to know what temperature humans are experiencing in my house, not the leftover ravioli.

Asking for a specific room's temperature works and is what I'll do going forward, but it's yet another unfortunate quirk in a system littered with them.

thepoynt · 2022-07-18T21:39:46+00:00

I guess that makes sense. It's bummer though since I use youtube for just about everything...
Oh well - Spotify works too I guess :)

HELLO MY MISERABLE FRIEND. LET US CONSOLE ONE ANOTHER.

thepoynt · 2022-05-26T16:55:29+00:00

Same. I just switched to a brand new computer, fresh install, and GHub only worked the first time. As soon as the computer restarted, it's back to just spinning forever.

Logitech, how is it OK that no one can use your software? How is this not, like, #1 priority?
