Come back one year!

That's strange, I grew up in NJ and our roads tend to be well maintained. It was kinda shocking when I moved to PA and the roads had way more potholes and skinny useless shoulders!

The movie version of A Clockwork Orange was based on the American version of the book, which left out the entire last chapter. In that chapter, at 18 years old Alex pretty suddenly grows out of his violent and criminal ways and wants to start a family. Some say this ending is more optimistic but I actually think it's darker, because it shows that any normal person you meet might've at some point been a wanton brute reveling in the chaos and pain they so arbitrarily inflicted. And that they can just move on and start living like a normal person.

How frustrating!!

I had a labral tear in my right hip, and I needed an MRI with contrast to diagnose it. Aetna wouldn't cover the MRI until I'd done 6 weeks of physical therapy. I ended up paying out of pocket for the physical therapy because it was an $80/session co-pay vs their self-pay rate of $70/session. Then once I'd finished therapy there was about 6 weeks of waiting until I could get in for the MRI, because Aetna wouldn't let me get an MRI at the local hospital, I had to go to an outpatient imaging center and they were booked up. And when I got the results - what do you know, near complete detachment! Something that physical therapy would never help with. After that, I consulted with a surgeon (6 week wait), and his waitlist for surgery was 4 months. (Granted, I went to one of the top surgeons in my area - I was OK with waiting for that.) So it ended up being 10 months from noticing the hip pain in May 2023 to finally getting the surgery in March 2024, and a lot of that delay was because Aetna was being obstructive.

I suspect they want people to get fed up with the roadblocks and just give up on pursuing medical care.

Ah, we got the Robert Redford version. I had to google the dicaprio version because I didn't even know it existed!

  • For some reason we watched Beauty and the Beast in junior high
  • In my grade 9 (or maybe 10, can't remember) Social Studies class we watched Not Without My Daughter
  • At the end of the school year in grade 10 we had those few extra days with no curriculum, and we watched Se7en (no idea how this was allowed)
  • In grade 10 we saw Romeo + Juliet (I think it had just come out on VHS and we'd just finished reading the play in English class)
  • Cool Hand Luke sometime in grade 9 or 10, don't remember why
  • Grade 11 we saw both The Great Gatsby and Othello in English class

I'm sure I'm missing some but these are the ones that stick out to me

Yeah, both prices I gave were for name brand (Quaker). The generic Aldi oats are just as good!

Holy shit, 4373 feet of elevation gain! I did 2160 the other day (North Cascades Maple Pass trail) and was impressed with myself. Well done you!

Only brand I've ever had is Oodles of Noodles, and I don't even know if they still make that.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 and I just got the new OneUI update. Now when I watch media in Jerboa there's an annoying scrolling notification that appears:

How do I get rid of this?

Also how do I get rid of whatever this is in my edge tray?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I figured out the first one, search settings for the Now Bar and disable whatever you don't want to see

Since the last release, I find that gifs won't play in Jerboa anymore. For example, this comment just appears as a static image for me, even when I click on it. Do you see the same behavior?

Edit: solved by user merde alors:

did you enable "auto play GIFs" in settings>look&feel ?

Then close and reopen the app and that should fix it.

 

I recently had surgery and while I recover, I've been doing a DS9 rewatch. I just watched The Visitor and I swear, no matter how many times I see this episode, it's always a gut punch. What a beautiful, sad story. Is it even possible to watch it without crying? I almost skipped it because I didn't want to cry today :'(

 

Jerboa devs, thank you so much for the latest updates - I'm really digging the swipe-to-vote functionality! I do find that it's a little too sensitive and registers votes when I'm simply trying to scroll up or down in my feed or a comments section. I guess I don't always scroll in a perfectly vertical path. Would it be possible to decrease the sensitivity for the swipe-to-vote - maybe requiring a greater deviation from the vertical before a vote registers?

Another really helpful feature would be to add vote indicators to the right of comments - the entire rightmost edge of the comment could have a color matching the vote I gave it, or no color if I haven't voted. Often if I'm reading a long comment I upvote it halfway through, then by the end of the comment I can't remember if I've voted so I have to either long-press or scroll back up to find out. Color indicators in the margin would be helpful!
