that sharp cheddar is so damn good as the topoff!

I would be more active here on Mastadon if I got notifications… I always forget to check the app!

Very cool!! I got it installed and will definitely be checking it out!! Thank you again for the suggestion!!

When you make a frozen pizza, do you add more cheese and toppings before putting it in the oven, or am I just a fatty? 🍕

Last Call
This is one of the last functioning phone booths in Iowa, possibly even America.
It’s in Kelley, Iowa, and I often pass it on my way from Ames to Huxley for work. I’ve thought about stopping for a photo, but the sky never looked right. Tonight, it finally did!

I had a feeling you’d be stoked for this one! I’m on my first listen through now. I like it!

New music alert! From Zero, the latest and long-awaited release from Linkin Park is OUT NOW! Have you listened to the album yet? What’s your favorite track?

I’ve taken more photos of this bridge than I care to count. Just got this one tonight and I think it’s my new favorite. 🤩

100 years from now, do you think we’ll look back and say, “Maybe ChatGPT wasn’t the best idea?”

Anybody else in their early 40’s ever just stop and take a look around and think to yourself… What the fuck happened?

I just realized Openvibe is tagging me in my responses to you lol. I have to wonder if that’s a bug or missed “feature”. Hopefully they fix that.

Nice!! Are you at a physical location or WFH?

Not yet to be honest. I only just got a free three months when I got the new phone, so I haven’t really had much time yet to browse it all.

My attention span didn’t stick. Lauren binged the whole first season and is into the second season now. I only loosely followed. It wasn’t bad, but it just didn’t grab me.

We got one of those Orgo countertop ice machines a couple weeks back. It was on sale for $149.

Happy Sunday, y’all! I’m starting out the day with episode one of Shrinking on Apple TV+. I’ve heard it’s a pretty good one! Has anyone else watched this one yet? What did you think?

It really is a game changer! Best addition to our new place aside from the king size bed with adjustable frame. That thing is super nice, too.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but nugget ice is the superior ice form. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good morning and happy Saturday, everyone! I’ve got a short three hour shift at my caregiving gig later tonight, but otherwise I have a bunch of catching up to do on reviews for the site. What’s on your agenda for today?!

2024-11-02 13:31:42 UTC

Agreed! If Apple would add that, I wouldn’t have any complaints- which, you know me, is a rare occurrence! 😂

Gboard was awesome on Android. It’s not as great on iOS. I got mad at the fact it doesn’t have a full number row.

I do agree with you there. SwiftKey is the best option - and that’s not a good thing. 😃 I still stick with the stock keyboard, though. I like all the text effects in iMessages.

To be honest, I don’t miss anything that immediately jumps to my mind. All of the Google apps I use are still available on iOS, so it’s a best of both worlds case. I’m sure Android, more specifically the Pixels, have some features the iPhone doesn’t, but I’m okay with it because everything on the iPhone “just works”, and works well.

iPhone only these days! 😂 Hard to believe, right?

Yeah, I’m going to look into it, most likely gonna make that switch.

It seems to be the general consensus from everything I’ve read recently that Apple Care is pretty excellent. I’ve never had it, but I believe it’s actually cheaper than the $19/month I’m paying via Verizon.

Lmfao!! I bet it’s already spot on!!

Hopefully you get the new one, but at least you have something in the interim! That’s very good to hear.

I’ve been waiting about 10 days now! 😂

2024-11-01 20:07:43 UTC

Should I cancel my device protection with Verizon and sign up for Apple Care and if so, why?

That has been my experience as well. I’ve had a bit of touchscreen responsiveness issues, but nothing too major. Stable enough to use for me, for sure. Have you gotten acces to Genmoji yet?

By the way, what are you doing for work these days, dude?!

That’s what I was hoping you’d say! You know I’m the same way! 🤣

Same, except I got the black one! Did you install the 18.2 developer build?

2024-11-01 18:41:04 UTC

Don’t mind me, I’m just reading the room here… What smartphone are you using as your main daily?
