Random non sequitur posts catch-all thread

Found references to both erotic fanfic and pics (albeit at a defunct site).

Robear. Enough. We believe you.

No, we don't. Pics or it didn't happen!

First World minor inconvenience:

A recent Android update to the Clock app made the Timer keypad numbers smaller and closer together for no reason.

What the hell.

That sucks. Mine doesn't look like that (I have a Pixel 3XL).

You could just say "OK google set a timer for five minutes". I sometimes do that in the morning when I turn off the alarm then realize that I really wanted to hit Snooze.

Yeah, I use assistant most of the time, but I had a weird timer to set so manual was quicker. Or so I thought until I fatfingered the keypad.

I restarted and it's still doing it so I have no idea what's the deal.

Are you on Android 10? I just got the update a few days ago, and my Clock app still looks normal. The horizontal spacing is the same as your shot, but the vertical spacing is much better on my phone.

They did just add that new Bedtime feature, so the code has definitely been touched. If it stays messed up after a system restart, I'd probably bugreport that sucker.

I don't see a Bedtime icon on yours, so you may have a different version.

Random nonsequitur:
We had a lull in the weather so we decided to take the new tent and do some backyard camping.
The kids had fun, but it did not go well. Our youngest (2) has gotten into the "my way or I will scream" mode and it turns out that they are not only vengeful but also petty, so once it starts there is no graceful way to stop.
The oldest (4) is four. With all that entails. So around 11:45 we were ready to throw in the towel before the neighbors called the cops because we were clearly painfully murdering our kids by not allowing them to blind each other with the flashlights.
We split forces. I stayed out with the little one, and my spouse took the oldest and the dog inside.
Fast forward to morning.
No one slept well. Everyone is a little grumpy, but we got through it. The new tent was marvelous. The air mattresses were kept a little underinflated but also performed their duties adequately. Despite the emotional breakdowns, a success.
While my spouse was in the bathroom with one of the littles it happened... A Google photos notification: "Rediscover this day" and our wedding photos. Ooooooh crap!
So I casually knocked on the bathroom door and leaned in. "By the way... Happy Anniversary!"
The look of absolute panic on their face was honestly a bit of a relief. It also confirmed that I definitely asked the right person seven years ago.

So much craziness.

It's that time of the year again. The time of year when I ask myself- why is there another new season of 13 Reasons Why on Netflix?

Because Netflix hates teens and their parents?

At least there won’t be a 5th season.

"No boss it's fine, I've got this, I've been doing the Duolingo English course, don't give it another thought"

Unfeatured languagement is reader to clear. What problem? Only solution in paper!

The power of memes really is amazing. I heard "All Star" in the wild for the first time in YEARS today, and it was like the internet had leaked out into reality.

Only fibre to the curb though, thanks LNP voters. And I think maybe the copper line here is a bit sh*t, wonder if that can be fixed #100billiondollars

So I've seen people give KIND bars pretty bad reviews, but I just bought an assortment box and... honestly, they're amazing? Why do people hate these?

I'm with you, dude. They're fricking delicious.

I wonder how much of the reviews are nutrition-based rather than taste-based?

maybe the people writing bad reviews are German

I’m just speculating, but it’s probably the calorie content. They’re typically sold on the same shelf as “health” bars with very low calories. Turns out, calories are delicious. It’s been a while since I’ve bought Kind bars, but they are indeed scrum-diddly-umcious.

That's the thing, though, one said they didn't taste like anything, and another said they were like eating packed sawdust. I don't get it.

We can possibly chalk that one up to People Being Wrong On The Internet?

Yeah, we use them as meal replacements, not "healthy" things you eat when you're trying to starve yourself lose weight.

I think they're delicious, and we use them when camping, or when we're gonna be working in the yard all day and don't want to break while filthy to go inside and eat lunch, or whatever.

My household loves Kind bars. There are a couple flavors we're less fond of, but that's to be expected.

My favorite are the big squarish ones that have millet seeds in them. I love millet seeds in bread, bars, or whatever.

So... you're a bird.

KA-KAAAW!! KA-KAAAAAW!!

Cheep cheep!

My wife likes them. I think they taste like saw dust. To each their own.

My wife likes Kind bars, and used to buy them a lot for my oldest kid (who has recently graduated college and moved out-of-state) to eat at soccer practice or whatever. He's always been a bit underweight, so the calorie count wasn't a problem for him.

He said he liked them, but when I needed to make use of his room for a few weeks I tried to clean up the pigsty a bit and found a lot of unopened Kind bars in there.
