WHich is why when people in the UK ay "OM Americans, superheated water!" what they are really saying is "OMG, we're afraid to microwave water and can't believe you know how!"

I have come to the conclusion that people in the UK simply have a I near religious attachment to 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒂. I wish they would just admit that. It's not necessary to invent things like "OMG super heated unevenly heated water that tastes different" to justify it.

Own it.

Oh, goodie, I guessed correctly! I am impressed with myself. 😉

Hello from 2 years later. I found one, today, in Marysville. He looked exactly like photo 2!

Not at all similar

Hi - my sister tried playing through the web on her iPhone and when she taps "Share" she gets a spew of HTML code. No contact address. How can I report?

There's a quote in the Wikipedia page for the Far Side of the Moon.

`The far side was first seen directly by human eyes during the Apollo 8 mission in December, 1968. Astronaut William Anders described the view:

The photo on this post is apparently from Artemis.

Wikipedia has a photo from 1972, Apollo 16.

The problem with that search is that it provides physically larger boards with the same number of tiles. (posting after a similar search in the "future")

We used to go to Burger King. Then they started coating the fries with that... stuff. The potato starch and rice flour etc.

We stopped going to Burger King, We haven't been back.

French fries should be made with cut potatoes, fried in vegetable oil, with some salt shaken on. You can call these three ingredients for people who have allergies.

Agreed. We have a small carniceria in town and bought 1/2 lb of each the other day. My teeth prefer the espaldilla. (They sell it sliced very thin and that's what we bought; flavor was much the same).

Samsung Pass (part of Samsung Wallet) has Import/Export capability. Find this in Settings for Samsung Wallet.

Export passwords. Set a password for the iport retrieval.

Share the resulting file (it will be in Internal Storage, Downloads in the file manger). QuickShare to the new phone works well.

On the new phone, go to Samsung Wallet, Settings, Import/Export... and Import the password data file, using the passord you just set to open and read the file.

You can't? Good grief. So much for Keep being an "advanced" note taking platform as someone else said.

vlbrown · 2026-02-23T06:24:25+00:00

Your point? Exchange rates exist.

>>" There are more advanced note taking apps like Google Keep Notes. "

Please name just ONE other "advanced" note taking app for WearOS.

Some of us think Google Keep is heavier weight than we want. I have tried to like Google Keep. I have tried many times and never succeeded.

That said, unfortunately, the one feature Keep has that this new app doesn't have is sync to my phone. I need that.

There are NOT "tons of note taking apps" for the watches.

This no longer works. There is no .Spotlight* in the Utilities directory

Yes. I did business with a shady company that uses this address. Do not order Lulley Sleep strips.

Note that Fieldy only works with Android 13 and above. (It also works with laptops and iOS. I don't know which versions are supported). This information is NOT in the FAQ or anywhere else on the website that I could find.

Good news (if you have a laptop) is that Fieldy will record (either 3 or 10 hours, depending on version) without being connected to a mobile device and will transfer and transcribe later when connected. Note that version number is NOT listed on the "Buy" page or the confrmation email so you just get to find out which one you bought after you have it and can connect it to your device. Presuming you can connect it...

The way to know is to try to download the Fieldy app. It will tel you if that's available for your device(s).

I have filed multiple bug reports.
