I've discovered a fun bug where if I sync my anroid to our work pool cars, my phone stubbornly tries to re-connect to that car any time I turn bluetooth on as priority over every other device. It will also keep trying to re-connect periodically and will randomly trip over its own feet doing so, cutting off my headphones and switching to blasting whatever embarrassing poo poo I was listening to out of the phone speaker.

Honestly not sure if I should blame Google or VW/Skoda for this one. :thumbsup:

google for sure.

"My Google account got suspended because of NewPipe"

If this is true, Google has seriously gone off the deep end. Maybe it's time to write off the small number of apps I have purchased and switch to a new google account for my phone that isn't connected to my actual gmail email.

love 2 hold my hands in midair, supported by nothing, while interacting with my electronic device. not even a little tiring.

very good and useful especially for those cases where my phone is between 1 arm length and 1 arm length + 5 inches away.

it would be fine if it was just something you don't use, but it was one of the core features of Pixel. "look at this cool tech we created to fix a problem that doesn't exist. no i don't know what a fingerprint sensor is." i wonder how much R&D added to the phone cost.

can someone just make a modern nexus 5 with a fingerprint sensor and an oled? i'll even take a big version at this point.

it's quite bad as far as delivery pizza chains go, but it can only ever be second worst thanks to vater johann, pizzakoch der viertes reich

I delivered pizzas for domino's summer after my freshman year. my boss and I would get drunk on Guinness extra stouts in the walk in cooler between the lunch and dinner rush.

their sauce arrives dehydrated in a 35 pound bag the size of a cereal box and has to be mixed with hot water in a 35 gallon bucket. yum.

I worked in a Dominos 20+ years ago and they had an interesting thing going on -- individual restaurants could (at least then) choose from a variety of grades for each topping, so there was nothing at all stopping some cheapskate dominos franchisee from serving all their customers metaphorical dog meat instead of the good stuff while capitalizing on the value of the brand earned by better stores.

So basically, your opinion of Dominos depends on whether you had a good one or a bad one near you growing up / in college and the whole "experience across all stores of brand is roughly equivalent, that's why people seek you out!" thing isn't true for them at all.

Good job, corporate!

(I know I've read hints in some glossy publication that they more recently did research and discovered that "people like good pizza!" so they worked on improving that, chainwide. I dunno.)
