I'm having some health issues and other life circumstances that will make it very difficult to keep a streak going. I want to opt out of the whole streak thing to avoid notifications to myself and others for constantly hitting the lower milestones or failing to do so, then starting all over again.
How do I opt out/turn off the streak system?
Hi! we bought our house a couple of years ago and have tried to adapt, fix, expand the existing irrigation systems to accommodate a flower patch (front of the house, permeable tubing in black) and two raised beds and some smaller patches (back of the house, "ok for food(?)" regularly-spaced-hole tubing in brown).
[
Tl;dr:
- what are recommendations for controlling flow to different locations that are otherwise hooked to the same solenoid valve?
- does permeable tubing degrade so quickly that it could be causing low flow to one of our areas?
]
The system held together to some extent last season (late start this year due to life events) but we are trying to make it better for this year. Here are some things we struggled with or have tried:
- The main tubes to the front and back of the house were already in place (partially burried) when we bought it. They are off of a single solenoid valve and the T seems to be buried somewhere, we are not sure where
- I tried installing a mechanical flow controller to help get more flow to the front of the house, but it's been fairly ineffective. We still get much more flow to the backyard even though we are running much longer tubing, with many more elbows, etc. to get to the raised beds. The build quality feels cheap and the position of the controller adjustment doesn't seem to translate to changes in flow to the back
- I am starting to suspect that there might be buildup or degradation of the permeable tubing that is causing restricted flow to the flower patch
- Ideally, to ensure proper irrigation to the two main areas I am thinking of adding a standalone solenoid valve that is above ground, even if that means going with a newer miniature solar powered setup. I'd be blocking the flow to the raised beds for some portion of the main branch's irrigation cycle, to allow more time for the front flower patch
- We'd rather keep it mostly DIY within reason, and especially want to avoid paying $1k or so to have our irrigation system dug up and replaced by work to hire
- Inspecting the drip irrigation tubing attachment points also suggests the holes along the main distribution tubing have expanded or relaxed over winter, causing much more leaking than we saw last year
Specific questions/suggestions we'd love to get:
- what are good flow controllers out there that can quick connect to tubing but don't feel and perform like plastic toys
- have people tried solar powered solenoid valve setups and what did they think of them?
- does the permeable tubing suffer from clogging if, say, its hard water being pumped through? We hear we have some crazy hard water here
- Any recommendations for press in fittings for drip irrigation tubing that reduces or eliminates leaks at the perforation?
I'm hoping to get both the flower patch and the raised beds going again, while avoiding excess or dead-end work, so I figured I would reach out to the online community. Thanks in advance to any insights, tips, suggestions!
Edit: it definitely isn't pretty work, but it sort of did the job last time. Please roast on low heat, if needed.
Driver to driver. If someone moves over for you, allows you to merge smoothly, does something nice in general, something a lot of others won't do for whatever reason: let's thank each other. A wave, a thumbs up, a playful double honk, a double tap of the brakes, etc. It's not us vs them, but that doesn't mean we can't be visibly appreciative of each other. We are real and we are out there.
D did a quick search on this but options seem to be to download all personal data or nothing...?
Does Waze offer any sort of summary report features for the user's and/or the area's driving history? If not, do people here find that such a feature would be useful and popular?
The area I commute through has experienced an (anecdotally) astronomical increase in average commute times over the last 1.5 to 2 years. I'd love to be able to see when it actually started getting worse, what the statistical values were for this commute before the shift, and be able to compare those to relatively current values.
In fact it seems like user and community driving history would open up the way to a lot of other insightful information: specific driving patterns and respective feedback to the user/community for example...
I play a full genre1 album, it plays some related tunes for a couple of songs, then it plays a completely unrelated genre. Granted genre2 is one I also tend to enjoy, but I don't want the algorithm deciding for me that genre1 time is momentarily over and we need a genre2 break right now. Wtf? This never used to be a problem before, but it has been happening consistently for the last 2 weeks or so.
Note: this is not my supermix. I understand and like that that one blends different genres.
How do I fix this?

Not having much luck looking this up: how do I reorganize or set favorites for specific report options?
I hate having to navigate through 3 clicks to report "vehicle on the side of the road", for example. Report button-> Hazard -> Vehicle on the side of the road (-> submit report). My gut feeling is that is my most commonly used report, and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case for others also.
Also with any report menu rearrangements/removals it becomes nearly impossible to find ones you use less frequently when you actually need them. Say "animals in the area" for example.
I know voice reporting helps with some of this, but sometimes it's much easier or only feasible to tap rather than talk (ongoing conversation for example) and the user is sort of blind to what options the voice reporting will recognize.

Regular parts store can't even special order these. Dealership wants/charged us $650. Considering the car is nearly a brick (stranded for the 4th time today) when it has a fit and randomly decides not to work you would think it would at least be a newer lithium ion chemistry battery, but seems like it's just lead acid?
What the actual
Constantly erases the chat, starts over, very clunky and unpleasant to use.
I've tried different venues to bring this up, request the feature change and got ignored on all of them.
Auto correct needs haptic feedback per instance when it engages so the user knows that the phone has taken over and made a decision for them.
If you work for the iOS or Android development teams please tell your bosses we need this.

Feels like posts fall into a black hole within 48 hours unless they hit some sort of critical mass of engagement.There is good content on the platform that is therefore never promoted again, even if someone re-engages with it.
Some subs are sort of novelty based (meme or humor heavy ones for example), but a lot of sub concepts don't benefit from being so weighed towards novelty. Serious discussions will ebb and flow and have a somewhat randomized occurrence rate of "very relevant" posts. As the algorithm is currently setup, these posts on those subs get dumped out on the same clock as "irrelevant" ones.
This makes a lot of "good, old Reddit" actually "dead Reddit".
This clock seems (from anecdotal personal experience) universal across the platform. One alternative could be to weigh the novelty factor at least against some sort of metric for "busyness" of the sub.
External relevant examples include:
- YouTube's algorithm that will suggest even obscure and old content based on user search and watch history, hidden gems of sorts
- Facebook's approach which, though also extremely heavily geared toward novelty for public content, will at least attempt to remind the user of their own past activities
Edit: busyness, not business
