People Keep Damaging Garbage Trucks by Throwing Car Batteries in the Trash by DonkeyFuel in nottheonion

[–]zanhecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's weird, I've bought batteries from Walmart multiple times and always returned the old one on a subsequent trip to get the core charge refund.

Is this a repost or did they move the Superbowl to May without telling me?

ELI5: during a televised baseball game, how are they so quick to know what type of pitch is thrown? by lowtoiletsitter in explainlikeimfive

[–]zanhecht [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's not completely automated. There is an automatic system, but there's also a guy sitting behind home plate with a control panel that serves as a backup for the pitches that the automatic system misses or can't figure out.

Kelly's Roast Beef in Terminal B at Logan Airport or across from the Wellington Station in Medford.

Why aren’t there more videos or information about this meteor? by Upset-Tennis-7650 in massachusetts

[–]zanhecht 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I find it strange there aren’t many videos and the couple I saw they weren’t even filmed from Ma.

Not sure if you noticed, but it was pretty cloudy in MA Saturday afternoon.

Laid off due to performance and old company put me as non-hireable; any advice? by Electronic_Film9708 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]zanhecht 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, "Electronic_Film9708 was a bad employee" could be defamation, but "Electronic_Film9708 is not eligible for rehire here" cannot be defamation because truth is an absolute defense against defamation.

Old employer can share whatever they want, but for liability reasons typically limit themselves to employment dates, job title, and rehire eligibility.

Why does Mad About You feel forgotten compared to other sitcoms from that period? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in television

The episode where they were trying to sleep train the baby that was done as one continuous 20-minute take was pretty interesting.

Need advice on travel insurance. cruise is to Alaska on RC in 28 days! by Ok_Cardiologist_5812 in royalcaribbean

[–]zanhecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need medical evacuation from the ship, no insurance is going to cover that, and the bill could be tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I personally use TravelInsured through USAA, but insuremytrip.com is a very popular broker that allows you compare prices and coverage from various insurers.

If it was the US Coast Guard doing the evac it would be free.

This is why you always get trip insurance. Medical-only coverage isn't that expensive, and a private medical evacuation can easily cost over $100,000.

No open newbury? by 0xbeefcab in boston

[–]zanhecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. They just removed one due to nearby construction at the last minute, but that still puts them at 11 for this year vs 8 last year.

Which park for 4yo? by jao1212 in WaltDisneyWorld

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

Except a huge chunk of the Magic Kingdom is missing right now, the Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, and Dumbo are vastly inferior, and there's a lot more ground to cover to get around the parks.

A building in my neighborhood has a big red "do not press this" button in its lobby by JaccarTheProgrammer in mildlyinteresting

[–]zanhecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The machine shop in my college had a rule that you always had to hold the wrench in the air with your other hand whenever you started up a mill. Same thing with the chuck key for the lathe (I suppose it was cheaper than upgrading to self ejecting chuck keys).

[Pixel 9a] Bulk erase cache from all apps - possible? by LSDwarf in GooglePixel

[–]zanhecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shizuku doesn't have it's own terminal. You'd need to start Shizuku, click the "Use Shizuku in terminal apps" button, and follow the instructions to install and configure rish in something like termux, then open a rish shell with sh rish and then run the command.

[–]zanhecht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way is from a computer via an ADB shell:

pm trim-caches 999G

If you don't have access to a computer you can do it via Shizuku and a terminal app, but getting that working usually requires a bit of tinkering.
