  • STRAP ON spelled backwards is NO PARTS

    You're welcome.

  • Wild meat tends to be a lot tougher to chew and tastes gamey...

    https://www.tastingtable.com/1833810/gamey-meat-flavor-explanation-and-causes/

    My late father told me the toughness can largely be tenderized by boiling it for like an hour, then beating it with a meat tenderizer, before the actual final cooking on the grill/stove/oven/fryer.

    I was once given a piece of fully cooked, but not boiled in advance, wild boar meat, about the size of a McDonald's chicken nugget. It was so damn tough that it literally took me over an hour to chew and swallow.

  • I thought the 6 inch beard would give it away, but okay...

  • I just love how eBay is on their suggestions, like...

    • eBay: We see you ordered a Nissan Sentra radiator last month, would you like to order more?
    • Me: Why yes, I'd like to order 6 more, one for every day of the week!

  • Not long ago, I found a $100 bill at our local gas station.

    I picked it up by the trash can, figuring it was probably a church fake.

    It wasn't a fake at all, it was a real $100

    I make point to check by those pumps everytime I pass by that gas station...

  • Battery Monitor - Available on F-Droid does exactly that, without having to root the phone.

    Right now my battery is 87%, 3.984V, and 99.3⁰F

  • Our 96 Sonoma that we just got in April, about a month later ended up having a massive oil leak. It first showed up on the oil pressure gauge.

    One day, had to put 3 quarts in it! It wasn't burning the oil, nor would it leave a puddle under the truck. So where the fuck was it going?

    There was only one way to find out. Inspect everything with the engine running. Turned out the oil filter was ancient, clogged with what looked almost like tar, and basically pouring oil out from around the seal.

    One ~$8 oil filter fixed that right up 👍

    Point is, we would have never known just by checking the engine before cranking it, as the oil doesn't pump unless the engine spinny spinny. Bonus points for having an actual oil pressure gauge, as we would have probably drove it bone dry until the engine locked up otherwise.

  • On. Always numbers on.

    To those with State Farm Mutual Auto insurance, have you received your dividend check?

  • ^ This is the answer!

    Thank you fellow Lemming, I tried and tested AndBible last night, and that's exactly what my mom is looking for 👍

  • Oh, it was sometime mid last week that I had to remove about a dozen obviously (to me anyways) fake antivirus, cleaner, and PDF reader apps from her phone. They were spamming her phone left and right saying her phone was full of viruses (of course the malware itself) and saying she was out of storage space (in fact she's only got 32% space used).

    Then of course Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, had to default the power button action to Bixby, which she don't even use, so I had to go search through the settings to figure out how to configure the power button with the typical sane power/restart menu.

    After all that, her phone seemed to work basically perfectly, so I told her to keep me updated on how it works out in the long run, while also respecting her wishes regarding the bible apps, although I was already a bit suspicious of those too.

    Yesterday she said she's getting almost no spam crap like that anymore. Almost? Means there's still something going on, and I have that sneaky suspicion that the whole avalanche of malware she ended up with started from a random seemingly innocent daily notification from one of those bible reader apps.

    You know what's the worst part about all this? Mama gets all her apps from the Google Play Store...

  • Yeah, sounds like a good idea, but mama wants the phone to audibly read it out to her when she goes to sleep..

    Any suggestions for an open source app that can read it out loud?

  • My mom likes to hear the phone speak passages out randomly when she goes to sleep.

    I've found eSpeak and The Light Bible apps on F-Droid, both look like good legit apps, but they don't work together..

  • LOL, I learned that sitting at a campfire back when I was only 12. I usually save it for Halloween, but it seemed fitting to post it here.

    Sorry, not sorry...
