How do I prevent Gemini from speaking aloud when I ask it a verbal question?

But I don't want to have to type it in. I want to ask it a question, which I do in a very quiet voice up to the microphone even in public and it reads that just fine. I don't then want it to start reading/squawking out the response in the loud intrusive way it does, making me have to poke at buttons to shut it up. I just can't find a simple option to stop it speaking at all.
turn down the volume.

E-Bikes

March is suppose to out like a lamb but not this year. It keeps being very windy. It has warmed up but it supposed to cool back down toward the weekend. Today I made up my mind I was going to ride.
Just one loop to the town South was enough wind in my face to last a while. I rode some more once I got back into town. There was at least the houses and trees to slow the wind down a bit. I logged 31 miles total today. It felt good to ride though the wind tried to spoil it. The ride today took the odometer over the twenty two thousand mile mark. I put 1.5K on my first Juiced bike, 1.5K on the Aquila, and 22K on the RipCurrent S. 25K total which is basically the circumference of the Earth at the equator. 🤣

What's your go to junk food snack?

Our new go to snack is celery sticks filled with home made pimento cheese. It was one of those "that looks good" Costco buys that was a hit. We bought a large tub of Palmetto brand Home Style Pimento Cheese with Jalapeno. In no time, we emptied the tub and needed more. Not having a desire to make another Costco run so soon, we resulted in making our own. Sharp cheddar, whipped cream cheese, finely diced jalapenos, a bit of mayo and a bit of garlic salt. I'm not claiming that it's better than the Palmetto brand sold by Costco but it isn't bad, easy to make, and handy. It's great filling for a stick of celery or a spread on crackers.

Post Your Last Purchase

There's always a way. I've gotten pretty creative with some of my installations.

Yes sometimes the panel ends up in a location that's not in line of sight while driving, but we really shouldn't be fiddling with it anyway. I have my dual-banders set on the repeaters I use and usually wouldn't need to adjust anything other than volume which I can do by feel.

There are panel mounts that attach to cupholders, CD slots, seat bolts and other places.

Don't give up this easily, I'm sure you can figure something out.

Considering Changing to Motorola Moto G Power 2025

Since I rely on the S Pen, I need a stylus phone alternative to the Galaxy S Ultra series. Samsung gives us fewer and fewer reasons to upgrade each year while charging more and more. The Moto G Stylus (2025) is highly-rated and regarded: the 2026 version is expected in April or May. It has plenty of stylus features, a headphone jack, a microSD slot and 68W charging. The stylus isn't Bluetooth capable, but the S24 Ultra was the last Galaxy device with that feature so that's a non-issue.
