Can confirm this is correct. One does not pause multi-player sessions
- Comment on Anon is a reader 2 weeks ago:
I was big into the show. By the time I got the book I had already read it a couple times online and knew it would be a worthwhile purchase, even if silly. Been almost 10 years but it’s not a purchase I regret.

I’ve got the giant bible version of it. Thin paper, gold edges.
- Comment on This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me off 2 weeks ago:
You got a source for that?
One of the ways VPNs work is by having all your web traffic look like it’s coming from somewhere else, obscuring where you’re really from. They will see a different IP address than what yours actually is. If you were the only person doing this there would be no problem, but VPNs only have so many servers so companies often know what IP addresses those are. What they see is THOUSANDS of actions being taken by a single IP address, so of course it looks like bots! It makes total sense to have some verification to help against DDOS attacks and bad actors.
- Comment on How do people doctor shop? Don't all doctors pass info on all their patients between each other? And in this day and age how do they do it.? 4 weeks ago:
Doctors don’t necessarily send patient information between each other, but many practices use connected platforms (i.e. My Chart) that a new provider could pull previous history from. Doctor shopping is when a patient goes to different providers/practices in hopes of getting multiple prescriptions (such as controlled substances like Vicoden or Percocet). Others mentioned maybe it’s pharmacy shopping which is when a patient takes prescription(s) to multiple pharmacies hoping for better prices or, in the case of controlled substances, trying to find one who won’t check the state’s controlled medication reporting system to verify they aren’t already getting it elsewhere.
- Comment on My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro video 1 month ago:
Same here. My wife and I primarily watch YouTube (mainly let’s play style stuff, but a lot of non-game stuff as well). Looking at my homepage right now, I’ve got a few gaming videos, some Dropout (amazing comedy), some 3D printing and DIY videos.
Over the years, the algorithm has gotten pretty good with its recommendations for us. Watching some niche videos barely affects our feeds.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yeah, without a side-by-side comparison with another I’m not seeing anything slightly infuriating.
- Comment on It’s not like we put letters in some sort of “alphabetical” order. 2 months ago:
Looks good to me. The letters are following the same pattern as the numbers - Top to bottom, left to right. ‘C’ is likely a Clear button in case you mess up your code. XYZ was chosen instead of ABC since C already has a use.
- Comment on Well, they finally got around to me 3 months ago:
My wife and I were considering it as well. It’d mean lower pay and higher housing costs. We decided to stay put for now
- Comment on I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British? 3 months ago:
They are not

They’re similar, but used for different purposes. According to UC Davis (University of California), these are the differences

We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it

That’s not even what the phrase is
- Comment on It's just taken me 55 minutes to watch a 35 minute episode on Plex because of crashes 4 months ago:
You can always run both at the same time and see which works better

My first thought as well. I like being a trumpeter and don’t want that taken away

This is a great thread for finding new people to block
- Comment on This Google Photos popup 6 months ago:
I’ve got both going for dual cloud backup. Immich is hosted local so I’ve got a backup at home, and I pay $5/month for 500GB storage with Google

Google image search gives me this guy, which sounds and looks right www.namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=163…
- Comment on ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Tears Past $630M Global, Overtakes ‘Logan’s Lifetime – International Box Office 7 months ago:
If you have a general understanding of the characters, you could jump in and have fun. It’d definitely be worth it to see the first two Deadpool movies and Logan first for better context, but I’d say it’s easy to follow. From the Marvel side, the Loki series provides background on a key organization in the movie, but don’t sweat it if you haven’t seen that either (But it definitely is good)
- Comment on Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio) 8 months ago:
It’ll stay red if people don’t vote
- Comment on Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring? 8 months ago:
Same. We made it a date and went downtown to a pawn shop to pick out rings. It’s honestly a great way to find fun rings at not-horrendous prices

Don’t have them in my area

Gotta eat them fast or they go sad and floppy in 5 minutes

Sometimes I just have a hankering for fresh McDonald’s fries.
- Comment on If an oven only has fan forced mode do i still need to set it to the fan forced temperature in recipes? Ie 160 instead of 180. 10 months ago:
Honestly, give it a try both ways and see what works better. No two ovens are gonna work exactly the same. I’d start with the lower temp first, and if it’s not cooked enough just give it a bit more time and increase the temp next time.
- Comment on I need to wake up early 10 months ago:
This is my recommendation as well. Having the alarms sync is one of my favorite things with the watch. And when you stop it on one it stops it on both.
