We haven't had a real tree the last few years since they jumped so much in price, so we just have the pre-lit fake one visible through the front window.

I'm only coming back here because I watched a clip on YT about things changed by "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and one of them was that it had a devastating effect on the aluminum Christmas tree market. I can remember those awful things and I was glad to see them go, and even gladder now that I found out how much one of my favorite Christmas programs had to do with it.

He just turned 100, and I for one am very happy he is still with us.

Keep at it, Mr. Van Dyke!

I've been following my normal college basketball teams. The warm up tourneys and games are over and the games are now conference games. Today was a rough day for the teams I root for.
Kansas lost to Central Florida, Kansas State lost to Brigham Young, and Wichita State lost to Charlotte. A sorry way to start the new year!

I tried No Root firewall at one point for my other cell, seriously a kind of stupid point of having some 3rd party app ruin his device..
This is why I rarely grab my tablet and head anywhere but to vacation on it.

yes he is referring to either a flash drive or sd card....especially sd cards. files can get corrupted quite easily on such devices.

or another option (which i know you do not like) is using google photo's to back up your pictures like i do. i never ever have to worry about my pics. i still have photos from 20 years ago stored there!!!!!

Oh I have my ps3 for that same reason.

happy new years AF.... i mean Early Bird Club...lol!!!!!!!!!!

sorry late to the party. its been a nice break from work to start the new year. i hope y'all had a great start to your new year.

I've been watching some of the football games. They would be far more entertaining to me if I followed college football. There are a couple of things that I have enjoyed about the NCAA games. I enjoy the team spirit and a deep desire to win. The emotion of the fans tells a story that enriches the viewing experience. I especially enjoy the lack of acting an arrogant idiots after a good play that is so prevalent in the NFL. It's fun watching the young talent play the game. I don't know the criteria that determines the bracketing of the big bowl games. The quarterfinals games were pretty one sided except last night's game with Ole Miss edging out Georgia. I think the Semifinals will be some fun games to watch next week.

The removal of the stent was indeed a no big deal. He advised that there might be some passing of blood and discomfort but was more of a might happen more than a will happen advisory. My wife made out on the not really a problem side. A bit of upset stomach following the procedure and some discomfort in her back. Both passed over night and she felt herself the following day.

Very cool...erm, hot!

I really, Really, REALLY enjoyed this Cheers intro... with a twist.

vivo have begun rolling out the December 2025 security patch to their global models of the X Fold3 Pro. This update also has Themes, Multimedia and App optimizations for Android 16 as detailed in the screenshot.

My how the radios have changed since my days of dabbling in the hobby.

I got a new ear, nose hair clipper I aboslutely adore been using it for at least six trimmings, it is really amazing and it does not do much harm to my face.
Also got a google play card from my buddy, who is dating my mother like forever, and I get to watch Twisted Metal, Nightmare before xmas, as well as Batman year one and 9 (movie that is also directed by Tim Burton, I had it on blu ray, but my ps3 did not work around with the blu ray system update, so I cannot watch any of my blu rays grr.. ) That was worth the wait, been so many years since I have seen 9.

I had Mint for a short while (during a transition period), but since they leverage AT&T, I had no service at home other than Wi-Fi calls and texts.

Perhaps they did at one time, but Mint currently runs on T-Mobile.

No, no, my friend, you are completely missing the point.

My problem is that the notification panel/top menu won't slide down. What does moving my photos to a computer have to do with a UI hardware-gesture bug?

If you are suggesting this just to help me prepare for a factory reset: photos are the least of my worries. I already back them up via USB to my PC. That’s just 'copy and paste.'

My real issue is that I have hundreds of specialized apps with custom configurations. I manage 3 businesses and 3 different areas of study simultaneously from this device. Reconfiguring all that professional environment is a nightmare that no 'Smart Switch' can fully fix.

So, again: the photos are not the problem. The problem is a broken interface after the update.
Merry Christmas.

Hi everyone!

My goal was to build fun.

For us all the have fun, laugh while simultaneously enjoying a deep game with an arcade experience.

Hopefully, I think I've accomplished that goal!

To move on to production, google requires play testing.

I need a dozen or more android specific testers.

No money involved, but you get to enjoy the game first and also get your tag, name or whatever you want added to the credits!

Just send me your email adress privately, or publicly if you want, so that google can allow you access.

Only give feedback if you want, however the app has to be installed 14 days for successful testing. Thanks everyone!

I've been paying attention to the Moto G Stylus (2026) and expect its release sometime around CES. In reading articles, however, I found out that Motorola is working on the Moto Edge 70 Ultra: a powerhouse expected to ship with a stylus AND microSD slot... at half the price of the Galaxy S-Ultra. It's nice to know there are options out there for those of us who rely on the S Pen.

Yesterday marked one year since we heard from our @MoodyBlues. I am praying and hoping you're doing as well as can be. Moody you are deeply missed

@AppleUser some of us where having Xmas eve, remember it is Christmas.

I was never a big fan of Celine Dion but this performance of O Holy Night touches me like few songs do. She owns the song with her cover.

Thanks Milo:

I would never have stumbled across that fix.

I found the user's manual online, so I should be able to figure out how most things work.

Thanks

Hello dear community,

PReviously I did a thing called Walktober, but this time around it is a special program with throughout the university:
I get the log in the web site: Here is my progress:

^ Total steps yay, I cheated and when I factory reset my app, it did not show up on the steps though, but approximentally it is about ballpark pretty much about 180,000 steps.


Also with that in mind I do get these amazing Winter Scene:





So for each log I do it paints a sence with the missing peices, it is okay for the time being too. But this is what I am doing for my health.
