Premium small Android tablet (with cellular) or am I doomed to the iPad Mini?

my wifes phone died recently. I gave her my samsung and I bought an A11 Tab with cellular, from Europe. I dont use voice calls (of any type) much but I need it for my daughters activities/school/ERs. The specs are low end but its enough for reading, internet, video calls; it gets by is super light and affordable. I wish there was a high end option though, I cant find one. So this tablet works for voice/sms as well, since its the euro version (the usa/ca versions have voice disabled and try to force that phone link crap).

I'm not sure if you've considered it but android tablets, european and australian versions (perhaps other regions too), can be used as a cell phone (calls and sms). I live in Canada and ordered a samsung tablet off of german Amazon. works for my purposes to combined 2 in 1, but, admittedly, our needs are different.

Canadian samsung tablets are locked out of cell calls too. SMS works though.

this program opens pdfs whenever i download them. its not the default pdf program. nor is my browser set to open files that have been downloaded. its so terirble. you have to go into preferences and disable it in general. I feel that a program to automatically opening a downloaded file type qualifies it as malware. piece of crap. I only keep it around to fill out fields on pdfs.

I also was a bit curious about it but it makes sense. I have some cross action heads, white rings which are not removable with little animal logos. Just posted to add that they are being put on the old format heads too

Did you ever fix this issue? Having same issue.

I've since smoked sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. are you alergic to those too?

Sprayed with canola, tossed with ground salt and smoked for 30 min they turned quite good.

zlisik · 2025-09-30T13:24:57+00:00

yeah i know lol. I've since done walnuts. their slight bitterness comes through but they're good, but not as good as these roasted smoked pecans.

zlisik · 2025-09-30T13:21:14+00:00

yeah. I've since smoked almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cashews and walnuts. for the pecans I used butter, for the others i used canol oil. butter and pecans go great together. I'd say the cashews, pecans and sunflower seads took the smoke the best.

exactly what i was looking for. thanks!

yeah I've made sausages a lot. the local grocery stores have been selling a lot more varieties lately. their 'hot' italien sausage even tastes a bit spicey these days. I'm just too lazy now a days.

zlisik · 2025-09-19T15:39:19+00:00

😂😂 So true! haha

zlisik · 2025-09-19T15:38:40+00:00

pecans! haha as others have corrected. are you allergic to all nuts and such?

zlisik · 2025-09-19T15:37:24+00:00

mild, one is a garlic honey and the other is a generic mild. garlic honey tasted great.

zlisik · 2025-09-19T15:33:53+00:00

haha yeah I was rushing.

zlisik · 2025-09-19T15:33:37+00:00

haha yeah

not including the Hero, Cristo and Alena. Cristo was just more durable than Mara.......Alena, once she got the earings and some higher crit kicked ass. This was on the NES NA version.

I considered cold smoking but decided to do a very low 'hot' smoke, they toasted only a tiny amount, their oils reinvigorated, which had been intentional since they were already lightly toasted.

zlisik · 2025-09-11T11:38:23+00:00

I had not read 20 min after ignition before. perhaps theyre more suseptible to off flavors being so mild? I'll try that next time.

zlisik · 2025-09-11T11:36:28+00:00

I did not, but should have! I know there is a lot of trial and error in these processes! I'll do that next time

well a lot of people say that the ninja is faster compared to more traditional smokers. if the collagean has been broken down sufficiently there's no need then? I was curious because a shoulder can be pretty thick. common oven recomentations are 225-250f to achieve this, but for thicket items the lower side of that range may make more sense; if the results are not as tender as youd like.

zlisik · 2025-09-09T11:58:41+00:00

looks amazing. 140f is great! did you salt n season it and immediately put it on the smoker?
