Has anyone come up with an avoidance plan for the coming lockdown this fall?

I may have an answer, but I am wondering if and what plans/precautions others are doing/have done if they are trying to avoid this.

I feel that most people will roll over and take it, much like during 'covid' and out of sheer laziness or plain apathy.

Also, I feel that at least for my generation, this sort of thing started way back with forcing us to wear our seatbelts in our own personal vehicles.

I find the idea that some entity can force us to do/not do things with our own personal possessions that does not affect others to be against natural law.
Inaliable rights, if you will.

I'm trying to find a particular item from Uniform Advantage. It's dark green with dinosaurs bearing gifts. The size should probably be medium or large.

Hello.

About 3 weeks ago, I suddenly stopped receiving account activity text alerts from Citibank. I had no problems previously, and I am still receiving all other personal and alert style texts from people and other companies. I have double and triple checked that I didn't accidentally block the number that sends them. I didn't. I called Citibank customer service, and they have no idea what my issue is.

A little while back I was given advice here regarding text messaging. I don't think this started until later, but I can't be positive. Could there be some connection? Please see my posting history.

Any idea what the problem could be? Thank you for any assistance.

In spite of having a sorry day of golf today, Rory McIlroy is tied for 1st going into tomorrow's final day of play. Rory won the Masters last year and has a chance to join an elite group that have repeat wins in the tournament history. Jack Nicklaus (1965–1966), Nick Faldo (1989–1990), and Tiger Woods (2001–2002) are the only repeat winners though there are other players that have multiple wins. Rory had a significant lead going into today but his one stroke over par today let everyone catch up to him. My favorite golfer is Scottie Scheffler. He started the day at par after two days play. He shot seven under par today which puts him just four strokes off of the lead.

Maybe I shouldn't have bought the cheap one from the "dollar" store. The official version is more than 7 bucks with tax, though. This thing has no instructions, just the box, handle, and a couple of puffy duster whatsits. I don't know which way is up with them. The cat at least has had some fun. How do I assemble it correctly and use it?

Hello,

independent of XML and Compose, there are also other ways to build your UI. I have written some helper classes and put together my UI with a kind of custom DSL. It works almost perfectly. 😊


override fun createLayout(target: FrameLayoutBuilder) {
instance = this
with(target) {
addLinearLayout {
setOrientationVertical()
add(ActivityHeader())
createContent(this)
add(ActivityFooter())
}
}
}


private fun createContent(target: LinearLayoutBuilder) {
with(target) {
addFrameLayout {
setLayoutWeight(1f)
addLinearLayout {
setOrientationVertical()
addFrameLayout {
setLayoutWeight(1f)
addSurfaceView {
setSurface(Playground)
}

addRelativeLayout {
setGravityBottomRight()
addTextView {
setVisibleFalse()
formatHint(this)
addReceiver(Playground.hint) {
setTextId(it)
setVisible(it != R.string.Empty)
}
}
}
}
createInfoLine(this)
}
addFrameLayout {
addReceiver(overlay) {
replace(it)
}
}
}
}
}

fun formatHint(target: TextViewBuilder) {
with(target) {
setTextSizeSP(20)
setTextColorID(R.color.hintText)
setMarginsDP(50, 10, 20, 20)
setPaddingsDP(20, 10)
setGravityRight()
setGradientBackground {
cornerRadii = getCornerRadii(getPixelFromDP(15).toFloat())
setStroke(getPixelFromDP(6), getColorFromID(R.color.black))
setColor(getColorFromID(R.color.hint))
}
}
}

fun createInfoLine(target: LinearLayoutBuilder) {
with(target) {
addLinearLayout {
setOrientationHorizontal()
setPaddingsDP(10, 0)
setBackgroundColorId(R.color.black)
addTextView {
setWidthDP(100)
setLayoutWeight(1f)
setTextSizeSP(16)
setTextColorID(R.color.white)
setFontId(R.font.nunito_bold)
addReceiver(Playground.mode) {
setText(
when (it) {
Play -> "Build Mode"
else -> "Play Mode"
}
)
}
}
addTextView {
setWidthDP(100)
setLayoutWeight(1f)
setGravityCenter()
setTextSizeSP(16)
setTextColorID(R.color.white)
setFontId(R.font.nunito_bold)
setText("V${BuildConfig.VERSION_CODE}")
}
addTextView {
setWidthDP(100)
setLayoutWeight(1f)
setGravityRight()
setTextSizeSP(16)
setTextColorID(R.color.white)
setFontId(R.font.nunito_bold)
addReceiver(Playground.currentBoardIndex) {
setText("Board ${it + 1}")
}
}
}
}
}

The events were there yesterday, but today absolutely no events nor holidays appear. Each and every day is blank now, the past, and the future. Please share how to troubleshoot and fix. Settings show that I'm signed on to my email accounts.

I don't sew and have no access to a seamstress/seamster. Is there some other way to crosslink the shoulder straps of a backpack? Also it would be good to have some kind of belt at the bottom.

Happy Easter to everyone. I hope that you have something special planned. We are basically just hanging out today. I'm meeting the some of my best friend and his buddy to finish emptying my shared storage unit. I'll then come home and smoke what I hope to be a wonderful roast for dinner. It is a Bison rib roast. If not special, it will be different for I've never tasted a Bison roast. My grand kids are too old to hunt eggs and my great grandkids did their egg quest yesterday with church and fellowship scheduled for today.

Have a great day and reflect on what this day represents.

I tried getting to it in different ways but they all gave that warning. I don't know why they don't have https. Is there some way to contact them and let them know?

if I watch a video on Facebook and then tap to go foward or behind by 10 seconds if it has this option it automatically plays by itself then I have to tap again to pause the video. I don't want this to happen if i tap on the video it plays automatically and then pauses again when I tap it again anyway to turn these features off

do you understand what I mean

Is there such a thing? I tried looking at some websites but they were almost useless. As usual I don't have much of a budget.

Hi,
I have S24 and would like the lock screen to NOT turn off (stay dark) for notifications for texts, emails. My travels through the settings haven't helped. I need help from someone much more able than me. Please clue me in.

Thanks, Jake2H

No matter what i search for with whatever browser, VPN or not, TOR or not, firewall or not, if this stupid thing pops up:



there is at least a 75% chance or better that when i tap the box it will just reappear again and again.

If it leads to a captcha, then there is at least that chance again that another captcha will appear or i will flat out be refused connection.

It has gotten to the point that i automatically hit the back button as soon as i see it.

I dont even waste my time with a site that uses this crap.

Cloudflare claims that the problem is that their users are not setting up the service properly, and that i have to contact their customers directly- there is nothing that Cloudflare can do on their end.

But if i cannot get onto the site to contact the site because of Cloudflare, then i cannot tell them about it.

Really just makes being online a pestilence.

vivo have begun rolling out the March 2026 security patch to their global models of the X Fold3 Pro. Along with the patch are a few other optimisations, as detailed in the screenshot, below.

The new spaceship is set to launch in about a half hour. This mission is essentially a replica of Apollo 8 in December, 1968.

Who's following the mission?

I don't want to have to stop it, I just don't want it to speak at all.

I've tried the path suggested by several answers: go to the google app, profile, settings, assistant voice and sounds, but the only options are 'red' or orange' (whatever those mean). The answers I got suggested there'd be the option of 'none' or 'hands free' in that settings section. Nope.

I'm a big fan of the google search bar widget, but pretty much only for hitting the microphone and asking questions. Problem is the smallest it gets while still having a 'clickable' microphone seems to be 1x3, as far as I can see.

Make the widget smaller and the mic disappears and I have to press on the widget and then be directed to the google page and then have to press the mic button. A 'double handling' thing that's a little irritating.

I may have missed something, but is there a way to make the mic still be there in a 1x1 or even 2x1 form?

Is it safe to get rid of the data from the nasty goo file app if I'm using a different file app? It's not huge but would definitely save space. I'm trying to trim these things.

I'm experiencing this issue on a PIxel 7 running Android 16, with the most recent version of google play services (26.09.31 or later)

If these recent versions are installed, entering settings/account/all services/privacy & security/Ads gives me a single option "get new advertisng ID"
but when this screen is displayed it causes a variety of problems (hangs/missing info) in settings/account/services until the phone is restarted.

However, if I uninstall google play services updates (phone reverts to 25.47.33) everything works properly. In addition to "get new advertising ID"
there is also the option of "Ad Privacy' - they both work normally.

I'm not suggesting anyone uninstalls google play services; but just to illustrate that it used to work fine and now it's broken.

Anybody else seen this?

Shows this.

I stumbled across a thread in another forum about how everyone has a junk drawer. The items within seem to be somewhat similar to the people posting. The thread drifted into the tool box and contents.
Thought I would start a similar thread here.
To begin with, I'm old enough that I have multiple junk drawers and tool boxes. I have two junk drawers in my office. One has cords and cables for all of the electronics past and present. It is a large drawer and stuffed with cables and connectors that I'll likely never need again. There is always that fear of needing that BNC cable or EIDE cable and I tossed it syndrome that keeps the drawer well stocked. I have another drawer that has itty bitty screwdrivers to large ones and everything between. Lots of diagonal cutters and needle nosed tools. Brass brushes to solder and even a few wire strippers and bike tools. It's the go-to drawer in the office for little projects. The junk drawer in the kitchen contains no junk. It houses the rarely used but handy kitchen items that one needs once in a great while. Things such as a lemon juicer, lid removal tool, skewers, meat hammer, taco press, meat shredder, funnels, and many other rarely used but desirable kitchen tools. Then there are the outside tools. The two tool boxes that ride with me in my truck and the five or six in my shed are for the major mechanical chores. To escape the criticism of having so many tool boxes, I have an excuse of sorts. I have my tools which take a couple of boxes. That's not counting the socket sets and wrench sets. I have a couple of tool boxes in my truck with duplicate tools for truck or mower emergencies. I couldn't bring myself to toss my father's tool boxes. My father-in-law passed down a couple of boxes of good tools. Plus, he had a couple of boxes of specialized tools such as pullers and presses and the like I just couldn't toss. I was a trim carpenter / cabinet maker for nearly sixty years.... I'll not describe that collection of tools.

What sort of junk drawer goodies and tool boxes have you compiled through the years?

foreground. now without factory resetting how do i burry it to the background? Boost.mobile app is not my carrier either and it links up with dish network.

Yep, it's a big one. I attacked it as soon as I could with laundry stain remover, and a lot of that. Unfortunately, I was not able to use the carpet machine until.this morning. I figure it got maybe half. How do I get rid of the rest?
