Good point. But those are all customizable, too. You can disable those settings if you want.

My point was that you can make Android’s DND do the same thing as Apple’s little switch. The only thing I can think of that is missing is the ability to reach into your pocket and flip the switch without looking. Android…

Don’t have time to watch a video, but does it mention terms NOT to use (like the obsolete/frequently misused ‘shall’)?

Stray is available for free on PlayStation Plus and on PCs.

What does DND do for you, that isn’t just muting alerts to be silent?

Ah, so a poorly constructed sentence, along with a bit of inaccuracy.  It’s not free, it’s included with a subscription.  And it’s definitely not free for PC, as that sentence could be read.

Stray is not free.

N95s don’t stop water vapor. Moist, warm air will rise.

I think steel trays are required here.  They would allow you to see the leak (and contain slow leaks from damaging other stuff) in time to repair/replace your water heater (hopefully) before a catastrophe.

Insulation can only do so much. I have 18 inches of blown insulation in my attic, and R-15 batt insulation in all my exterior walls. Radiant barrier on top of my attic insulation AND underneath my roof. It’s not practical to insulate my home any better than I already have. Without thermal mass, what is being…

I actually am looking at ICF. I’ve actually dreamed about a Monolithic Dome for a long time, but my GF isn’t sold on the non-traditional shape. So now I’m looking at ICF. I haven’t heard of AEC, but I’m now going to look into that. Thanks!

I’m fully vaxxed with a single booster, and I’m just getting over COVID after traveling to a work convention that I had to attend.  I still have horrible sinus and chest congestion, two weeks later.  I’d hate to know what it would’ve done to me if I hadn’t had the vax.

Yep, it’s all about that thermal mass. I’m going to have my next house built for me, and I’m going to incorporate a LOT of thermal mass. Concrete half walls wherever possible. Large stone/concrete fixtures.

Right now, even though my house is well insulated (also two radiant barrier in the attic, reflective tint on the…

Yeah, where’s the editor?  Is it too hard to add a time zone to times?

I sometimes wonder just how much I’m missing from Lifehacker because of this bug.

Outside of NYC and some downtown areas, can you really just “wave down” a taxi?  I’ve found that you need to call for one, or be near a cab stand (near a hotel or popular bar/club), otherwise who knows how long you’ll wait to see a taxi.  Some cab companies offer an app similar to Uber/Lyft now, but just stepping to…

That’s exactly how the DFW baggage handlers do it. I always get to the airport early. I’m sure my bag is one of the first checked, and it’s normally one of the first on the belt at the baggage claim. At other airports, it’s pretty hit or miss, but I only remember one time where I felt like mine was one of the last.

And,…

Not a fan of American “cheese,” but I’ll go along with the rest of this article. It’s fine to feed a bunch of kids at a big cookout, but it’s never going to be my choice for a decent cheeseburger.  American “cheese” sure melts nicely, but, if you care, you can sprinkle a little bit of sodium citrate (melting salt) on…

I’ve tried quite a few binders when trying different rubs on brisket. I’ve settled on cheap yellow mustard and just salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Yellow mustard imparts zero flavor of its own (which is kinda weird to me), but lets more s/p/g to stick.

I think the type of rub has much more impact on thickness and…

Oh, we are.
