pause when skipping videos on Facebook app or skipping by taping on buttons next to pause button

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

Brain Fart of the Day

I had trouble with my earbuds while mowing today. They disconnected from my phone two or three times while I was mowing my first lawn. It finally dawned on me that I had forgotten to turn off my truck. When I got near the truck my phone connected to my running truck which broke the connection to my buds. Obviously, I don't wear my hearing aids while mowing. I have to remember to turn the truck off because I can't hear if it's running without my aids.

The "I'm so old" thread game

I'm so old that I came up behind a couple of kids holding hands. They were walk in front of the lawn I was going to mow next so I waited on them to get past the property so I could park. I sat in the truck thinking those kids must be jipping school. Just before they were out of my way, he turned to her and handed off an infant to the woman. They were children with child... my bad. :)

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.

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.

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.

MLB 2026

The Royals are a hard watch again this year. Two games at the Braves earned them two losses. They managed to have a two run lead going into the bottom of the 9th. In typical bad baseball style, they allowed two runs and then loaded the bases and allowed a slammer. I will follow the team. I have for so many decades. I will have to find a team to root for beyond the Royals. They have no plans to compete this year or I'm not seeing it. It's early but they define stink so far.
