Yeah imo it's probably butt-typing. Between swipe keyboard and Google trying to guess what someone might actually be searching for. There are so many hot-buttons on phones that shortcut to a web search, too, it's easy to get to by accident.Earwicker posted:i have definitely not said the phrases "riverside city college" or "rcc webadvisor" out loud anytime recently, or at all that i can remember. im wracking my brain trying to think of anything i said that even sounds like that "or CC your advisor" ?

If you talk random gibberish to a voice-activated assistant, I'd wager it'll turn that into something vaguely "meaningful", even if it sounds nothing like what you said.

If I type "rcc w" into a browser the first suggestion it gives me is "rcc webadvisor", so I think it was probably just an accidental activation.

A lot of times I see goons post links to YouTube videos with no context. They're usually in response to something, but without any title or explanation, and it occurred to me that maybe most people here use a plugin or something that generates a title, or a preview, or something like that...?

People with lactose intolerance can take lactase pills when eating dairy to help them digest the lactose, but as far as I know there's no similar enzyme pill to aid in the digestion of gluten for those with celiac / gluten intolerance. Have we not discovered such an enzyme? There must be something that aids in the digestion of gluten for "normal" people, yeah? Some enzyme or chemical process in the gut? What's stopping us from developing a pill to help people with gluten sensitivities? - signed, someone with a newly discovered, mild gluten sensitivity

Very roughly speaking, lactose intolerance is like something getting someplace that it shouldn't be because a lock is broken, but you can "fix" it by temporarily putting a second lock in (ie, giving yourself a dose of enzyme); gluten intolerance is an incorrect reaction to something being where it should be, like an allergy. A lot of gluten intolerance is an autoimmune response, which is not at all a simple problem to solve beyond "don't eat it". dupersaurus fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jul 21, 2022 |

When I'm at home I only browse the internet in general on my pc, which has Chrome with an adblocker, but if I try to watch a YouTube video on my android phone while I'm at work out opens the YouTube app and plays ads. What non-chrome browser should I download for my android phone so I can watch YouTube videos at work with no ads?

Newpipe with Sponsorblock is the best way of watching YouTube on Android. You can install Firefox and add uBlock origin to it if you want more from YouTube than just watching videos you encounter in other apps, but ehh.

A lot of gluten intolerance is an autoimmune response, which is not at all a simple problem to solve beyond "don't eat it". To put it another way, lactose intolerance happens because your body doesn't produce (enough of) what it needs to process lactose, so you can take a pill to compensate. The pill contains what your body needs to process it and what people without lactose intolerance produce within themselves naturally. Gluten intolerance on the other hand happens not because your body lacks what it needs to process it, but because your body responds to it in a dangerously wrong way. Instead if recognising it as something it can process it starts to fight it, with all of the collateral damage that entails, and that fight can escalate (because fighting it doesn't actually solve the problem) to the point where it starts to damage itself to a dangerous and deadly degree.

I've got a number of frequently visited pages that heavily depend on custom cosmetic filters in uBlock origin to make them usable, which is where that came from. I've got to agree the user experience isn't great on account of the frequent reloading. More, like, a fan of the adblocker than the browser.

The pill contains what your body needs to process it and what people without lactose intolerance produce within themselves naturally. A company called 9 Meters Biopharma is working on a celiac treatment. The current theory for celiacs is that gluten breaks down into a substance called gliadin in the intestines. Normally the cells of your intestinal wall stick together, but celiacs have "loose cells" that the gliadin slots nicely in between. That makes your body freak the gently caress out since there isn't supposed to be anything there. The immune response attacks your intestines until the gliadin falls out and away, or breaks down on its own, which can take up to two weeks. The celiac treatment causes those loose wall cells to tighten up so gliadin can't fit between them. It's in stage 3 trials. - A newly minted celiac who turned rage into not being able to drink beer anymore into google searches.

Why is it that Purolator doesn't ring the doorbell? You'd think they wouldn't want to come all the way over with a package just to leave a door hanger in the sneakiest way possible so as not to alert the recipient.

Interesting bet in times of COVID when (lots of) people are still WFH. Today I heard a noise and investigated, caught the guy just as he was making his getaway. He had it. It was just an envelope. I said, "there is a doorbell". He just laughed and nodded and pretended he didn't know English. Alternate stupid/small question, can you get Amazon to not use certain couriers?

Tiggum posted:I didn't even realise that was a bug because that's just what every loving app does on my phone. Alt-tab out of anything and it'll always reload when I come back. It does it on a handful of apps on my S21+, but Firefox is far worse about it, and other apps like Chrome never have the same issue - I have tabs I haven't touched in weeks or months that immediately load right back to where I was with whatever collapsibles/etc I had open, meanwhile Firefox reloads a tab completely if it and Gmail are the only two active apps and I switch over to get a recovery code. There's something hosed up with how Firefox is handling memory that makes it more prone than any other browser on mobile.

Can iron on patches be adhered to surfaces using one of those more targeted heat gun things?

Johnny Truant posted:Can iron on patches be adhered to surfaces using one of those more targeted heat gun things? I'm going to go with no. Part of why an iron works is it's a chunk of metal that a) heats evenly and b) is heavy. You certainly get the heat with the heat gun, but there's nothing with enough oomph to transfer the heat efficiently from the gun to the patch. If you don't have a friend or grandma with an iron to borrow, you could get one for maybe $10 if you look around.

I believe part of the process is also pressing the patch onto the backing material with the iron. You don't get anywhere near as much pressure from a heat gun.

Thanks! Not that I don't have an iron, it's that I'm attaching the patches to things where ironing them is quite impossible. I'll figure it out though!

Nah, it's a more rigid backpack. Other iron on patches I ended up sewing on, which was awkward and tricky due to the way the bag was designed but it worked. I'll probably just have to do that again! Improves my sewing skills at least

Have you tried a straightening iron? Like for hair? They make some smaller sized ones that may or may not get into those nooks and crannies. Otherwise yeah sewing or hot glue might be your best bet
