No, the X stops that navigation session entirely, and that’s not what I’m looking for. Depending on where you are going, how many stops you have loaded, etc, you may not be able to easily start a new session. Breaking up the session also messes up any details about the overall trip, if anyone is trying to gather that.

Google Maps does have this function for Android Auto, so I’m not sure why the mobile Maps doesn’t.

Can we please get a “pause” button in navigation apps?

I don’t need to be yelled at to make a u-turn every 5 seconds just because I got off the freeway to get gas.

I do Top/6hrs, but will jump over to Hot if I’ve been scrolling too long and run out of content.

I know that all the big stars hate me to say this, but I don’t want to risk 80 peoples’ jobs just to say I got big huevos on The Tonight Show, because that’s what happens. I think a big star just sprained an ankle doing a stunt, and 80 or 180 people are out of a job.

We have stunt people who do that stuff, and if they get hurt, I’m sorry to say but they just need to put a mustache on another Mexican and we can keep going. But if I get hurt, everybody’s out of a job. So I don’t choose to do that.

Holy shit.

Yeah, I’m neurodivergent and have a terrible memory. My life is full of alarms and notes and reminders for everything, otherwise nothing gets done.

While I’m well aware of the insidiousness of tech’s ever increasing privacy violations, I also look forward to things like AI being able to function as a full blown personal assistant to help me run my life.

Yup. For those that don’t know, that’s essentially how utf-8 works -

There’s one in Arizona heading north between Phoenix and Tucson that says 951 miles behind you.

Banal conspiracy theories are often “gateway drugs” to much more insidious ones…

Ice dispenser.

Agreed. It’s the same reason I occasionally pop in Madden or 2K. I can play a game or two and then just be done with it.

You forgot to mention the furry porn… so much furry porn…

I loved my V60 (and my V20 before it). They were such great phones.

Arizona here. My August service bill is the highest of the year, usually ends up around $425 or so with the thermostat set to ~76. January is usually the lowest, and I can get that down to about $75. Averages out to about $220/mo over the year. It’s ridiculous.

I’ve experienced similar. I also feel like at the same time the voice to text accuracy has gone down as well.

As someone else said, Austin Powers really kneecapped 007 by dialing up every trope to 11, leaving seriousness as the remaining option.

Whois lookup says this. Doesn’t discredit the “hastily thrown together in an hour” idea, though.

This is quite a few years old now, but I think the main points are still valid. As you said, everything is so polished, kids don’t need to figure out how it works.

At my first job, I printed out the ~85 page guide for GTA Vice City to have for reference while playing without having to get up and go to the computer.
