  French onion soup.

  You can’t use the steering wheel to tell the Bluetooth to pause the iPod? That seems off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where can I post my Halloween outfit? It's awesome.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pics would make sense, but unsure of anywhere specific

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some where there’s no hub, just a standalone (I can’t be arsed to check if you still need the job for switchbot itself). Worth looking at the knockoffs since I know some exist that don’t need anything else. And I wish the security were better, but for a simple case like this I think they’re fine.

  Yes. SwitchBot is the biggie but there are a ton of knockoffs (google “smart button pusher”). The catch is that the security is crap - fine for what you’re doing, but I wouldn’t use it for a garage door, for instance.

  I think you’d need a shortcut or script on a computer to run a scheduled task or cron job to start it, but pretty sure that’s available too. (Note - looked at them briefly, just wanted to respond while it was fresh in my mind)

  I love how you explained both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it true that Bill Gates has been committing genocide in Kenya?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. It’s not true. You need to think more critically and check sources and seek alternate views. This isn’t a stupid question per se, but it’s hard to tell if you’re asking it in good faith.

  Just curious, does that amount of stupid ever burn? Because when I see that amount of ignorance I saw “the stupid, it burns”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do adults have such big noses?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “cartilage does stop growing. However, cartilage is made of collagen and other fibers that begin to break down as we age.

  The result is drooping. So what appears to be growth is just gravity doing its job. Our noses and our earlobes sag and become larger. Adding to the misconception is what happens to other parts of our face. While our nose might sag, our cheeks and lips actually lose volume, making everything else look comparatively larger.”

  AirTags don’t require a subscription.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Street Racers "bad people"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. There are race tracks. You’re pretending there are no secondary effects or bad consequences.

  “Police say two of the victims were innocent bystanders who were killed when the alleged street racer struck their vehicle and it burst into flames …He said the couple leaves behind four kids — ages 10 to 16… “They are deceased because of street racing. We also have one of the drivers who was street racing, he also lost his life,” said Fort Worth Officer Buddy Calzada. “We just can’t understand why somebody would continue to street race at a high rate of speed at the risk of losing their life or taking the life of someone else.””

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Buy it on Bandcamp, then use Apple’s “iTunes music match” service, $25 a year if I remember right, which allows you to stream anything that you own and have added to iTunes, on any Apple device that has the same iCloud account id as iTunes.

  Means that the artists get everything (Bandcamp Friday rules!) except the $25 a year.

  I always go after the 2 star. People give 1-star for the stupidest things. 2 star, people give more details.
