Glad you got it to work eventually. I never liked smart bulbs. I use smart switches instead (Meross works really well with HomeKit). Set the lamp’s on/off switch to the on position and plug it into the smart switch. The smart switch can be connected to HomeKit anywhere in the house. You can set it up in the kitchen, then move it to your daughter’s room.

That’s a good idea too. All depends on how much freedom the parent wants to give the child.

Yes. I used to give my old phones to my kids for entertainment. Nowadays it seems like music videos are as prevalent as mp3s, so you need a decent display as well.

How about using an older smartphone with the SIM card pulled out? Delete/hide all apps except the one for music and lock down the app store.

That’s a completely different cloth. You can’t use the iPhone polishing cloth on the AVP and vice versa.

Denzel Washington is a good actor and that’s the only reason I watched the movies. I like the way he speaks and portrays his characters. As an action/crime drama, it’s mediocre. He’s too old to get physical so he’s scripted as a super spy. Extremely intelligent, he can use tech to track down the bad guys. In hand-to-hand combat, he anticipates every move, parries every punch, hits every pressure point to immobilize the enemy, and never misses a shot. Definitely not Bourne-level fisticuffs. Nevertheless, it’s still a fun watch.

As others have responded, your joint pains are not normal. Yes, I had joint and muscle pains in my 20s, but it was always obvious how I got them and they eventually healed after several days.

When I was 55, my fingers started swelling and I was unable to perform simple tasks. My doctor ordered a series of blood tests, CBC (Complete Blood Count), CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel), Rheumatoid factor, Lyme disease (there are 2 tests for this), plus others that I can’t recall off the top of my head. I was eventually diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

You should find a doctor who won’t ignore your symptoms.

MAGA - Make America Golf Again

God, I hope not. I like Doritos.

Ron Paul must be crushed. How will his campaign recover from this devastating blow?

Yes, learned now that we could’ve sautéed the garlic in olive oil or butter and then spread that mixture on top of the dough just prior to baking.

It was edible and we ate half of it but the oily texture became a turn off after awhile.

I’ll have to look up how to ferment garlic. She minced the garlic and then added it to the dough before the second rise.

Thanks for the tips.

I’ll let her know to try that next time. Thanks.

Agreed. The library was just a dumping ground for apps that I didn’t want on the Home Screen and didn’t care how iOS organized them. Easiest way to get to them was swipe down and search.

There are YouTube videos that will show you the basics, like this one, https://youtu.be/kW6-QEPOjVE?si=eZMJf09J-m1o1qq2

Since you don’t have much space to work with, cut a smaller piece of 2x4, about 4” long, and screw it to the top of the longer piece of wood, at the end. Hammer the top piece to shift the plank.

We’ll have to see how comprehensive Apple’s trail maps are. AllTrails has maps for many state and local parks. Gaia has extensive trail information for international hiking trails.

Not that big of an issue. Although Intel-based Macs won’t get software updates, they will be fine for many more years. My 2013 iMac is still going strong on its last os update back in 2019.

On a Denzel Washington binge. Watched The Little Things and The Equalizer series.

This was a promotion with Sapporo when Microsoft launched Windows 95.

No. It’s not possible to find light reading about lead.
