  • I’ve bought used Pixels on Swappa. You’ll want to make sure you get one that has an unlockable bootloader. Carrier unlocked will be your safest bet, absolutely avoid anything Verizon branded. On Swappa, you can message the seller (publicly) and ask them to confirm the bootloader is unlockable.

    Enable the developer options menu by going to Settings > About phone and repeatedly pressing the build number menu entry until developer mode is enabled.

    Next, go to Settings > System > Developer options and the ‘OEM unlocking’ setting will hopefully not be greyed out.









  • I could be completely wrong, but my life experience so far suggests that the best way to get better at something is to put yourself into situations where you have to actually practice the skill. I’ve been fostering cats and kittens for a few years, and I think it has really pushed me to learn how to manage my emotions better.


  • Yep. The dry cycle also takes about twice as long, but supposedly it’s more gentle on fabrics. It’s a pretty nifty option for small spaces without a way to properly vent the dryer, but I can see why they’re not more popular. The machine came with the place, so I didn’t exactly choose it, but I hang dry most stuff anyway, and definitely prefer it over dealing with shared, coin operated machines.


  • Ooops. Millennial here and I often iron my bed sheets. I have a weird ventless washer/dryer combo thing, and no matter how quickly I pull my sheets out or what dryness level I set it to, they come out quite wrinkled. I don’t really mind if the main sheet is a bit wrinkly, but it drives me nuts when the top edge gets all folded, and then those folds become permanent creases.



  • Thanks for the explanation! Looking at my foot scans, it looks like my feet are just a little wide: a C width would probably be ideal, but basically non-existent, so I’m thinking that brands/models that run wide will probably work well.

    As I mentioned elsewhere, I need something with good arch support, but one of the challenges I’ve run into in the past is that the arch support often hits in the wrong spot. I tried on the Ghosts in both a B and a D, and it seems that the narrow width may be at least part of the issue there.



  • I was actually looking this up the other day regarding ducks, and had trouble finding an actual answer. What’s the difference between a breeding male, a non breeding male, and a juvenile male? They each look different, but why? Can an individual bird/duck go through phases of each? Somebody please info dump! Links greatly appreciated too!
