First time ever installing a water heater, or doing any plumbing...
  • The expansion tank isn't just for the water heater. That increased pressure puts undue strain on the entire plumbing system in your home. It will cause toilet fill valves to fail, supply lines to rupture, and possibly even pinhole leaks. A lot of plumbing issues are solved by installing an expansion tank.

  • Hey Lemmy, what's a movie you think everybody should see at least once?
    1. Not just a great war movie, but also a cinematic masterpiece.
  • Beware
  • All those wedgies he gave, all those shoestrings he tied. All those brownies he made with the Ex-Lax inside.

  • "Over yonder as the crow the flies" is a ridiculous statement that makes sense to a lot of people
  • So, I've heard "over yonder", and I've heard "as the crow flies", and I live in an area where neither of those phrases are uncommon to hear... But I don't believe I've ever heard them both put together like that.

    "Over yonder" is a casual phrase that's used to indicate the general direction or location of a place or thing, usually accompanied by a finger pointing in a rough direction.

    "As the crow flies" specifically refers to the shortest distance between two points, rather than travel distance. Like, "the distance between New York and Washington DC is 231 miles by road, or 204 miles, as the crow flies."

    "Over yonder" already implies that we are referring to a straight line from A to B, so it would be redundant to add "as the crow flies" after it.

    So like, are people really putting those two phrases together like that? If so, I must protest. /angryface

  • US judge orders Google to open app store to competitors
  • It might be the kind of thing that works sometimes in some situations, but isn't officially supported.

    Either way, it used to work for my ShieldTV Pro, but it doesn't work anymore. Doesn't matter how many devices I try to spoof, or how many times I reinstall the app, or how many times I re-login, etc.

    Makes me really sad that I formatted the Shield TV. Oh well.

  • US judge orders Google to open app store to competitors
  • A couple years ago, I used Aurora to install paid games on my Shield TV. Games that Google Play doesn't normally allow on the Shield (like the PS2 era GTA games). Well Google changed something, and it's no longer possible to download and install purchased apps or games through Aurora, even if you log into your Google account. This sucks, because I formatted my Shield TV expecting be able to reinstall these games, but it doesn't work anymore.

    Yeah, Aurora is still good, but Google has been crippling it.

  • Even monitoring for traffic violation or bad driving is questionable. How are they going to differentiate between bad driving because you weren't paying attention, and "bad" driving because someone cut you off and you had to take evasive action.

    Like, maybe just leave me alone and stop trying to collect every bit of data possible on how I live my life. I don't trust them to correctly interpret anything they collect.

  • Native call recording in 2024?
  • That I can't tell you. My Graphene phone broke and I'm using a Googled phone at present (bleh).

    I checked Graphene's features page, but this was all I could find:

    Call recording functionality within the Dialer app using modern Android storage with recordings stored in Recordings/Call Recordings and no restrictions based on region or special cases like playing a recording tone (users are still responsible for complying with their local laws).

  • Judge weighs whether to dismiss movie armorer’s conviction in fatal set shooting by Alec Baldwin

  • GrapheneOS has native call recording without root. I haven't used it in six or eight months, but it worked last time I tried it.
