Slight spoilers for 1.6, but I finally found a good use for a certain item

I didn't care much for the magic quiver trinket because it can be annoying when you're trying to manually hit an enemy the arrows will knock them back (especially flying enemies) but I have had it equipped in my most recent playthrough because it is the only one I have so far; I am happy to have it equipped every time I go into the secret woods to collect hardwood it'll knock out the slimes in 1-2 hits so without me having to manually fight them off or risk them slowing me down while I chop the tree stumps.

Sure it's a small thing, but I am glad it has a decent use for once

Say something genuinely nice about the episode Stranger in a Strange Land

I've rewatched about 7 or 8 times, and there's not a single episode I dislike. The criticisms for this episode are well documented, so let's say something we genuinely think the episode did well, or scenes we liked.

For instance, I liked seeing Sawyer be nice (nice for Sawyer) to Karl.

Oil in unopened Coke Zero and Pepsi Zero

In Canada. Idk how else to describe it but I recently put two brand new 1L bottles of both a coke and a Pepsi Zero in the freezer for a bit just to chill them, and not long enough for any freezing to take place. When I looked at them I noticed some oil like waves on the surface of the drinks. I didn't notice this before they were in the freezer. Not sure what the cause is

[TOMT][Fake UFO YouTube video] [2005-2009]

Back in the early days of YT I would look up UFO videos often and there was this one video I saw that was fake (it was an art project or something) but it looked pretty realistic. The best way I can describe it was the UFO somewhat resembled a typical old kerosene lamp with a circular spiky ring at the base of it and it was moving and hovering above some trees during the day. I think the video was less than 2 minutes long.

Best and worst soda to drink warm?

Obviously cold is best, but which ones are adequate warm and which are terrible?

I think most colas are fine warm but I can't do Dr Pepper warm

Which mainline single player game has the most music variety? No story spoilers please

We know DQ music is reused often from game to game, but which of the main games has the widest variety of tracks (even if some are reused tracks)?

I specified single player because I imagine X has a lot of music, but I haven't played it so I could be wrong.

Playing DQVIII for the first real time and I'm obsessed (Minor spoilers for the first few hours of the game).

When I was younger I never gave DQ a proper go as I was more into FF, though I did watch my brother play a bit of VIII back when it was released on PS2. As of 2015 I started seriously playing the games and am just now getting to VIII and I am having a blast. I've only just gotten Angelo on my team but everything thus far has been so much fun. I'm very familiar with DQ now and have played many of the main games and spinoffs, but something about VIII is cementing itself as my second favourite in the series, one rung beneath XI. I can't pinpoint one thing; it's the characters, the music, the alchemy, the world map, the cut scenes! It's all incredible. I'm very pleased and can't wait to keep playing.

Please no spoilers!

Was this in an episode of AYAOTD?

I don't remember the episode but I remember the screenshot that is shown during the end credits of what I thought was an episode of AYAOTD but now I'm not so sure.

I remember the screenshot was of a girl (a ghost I think) in the woods looking up kinda towards the camera and it was day time. The woods looked kinda barren and without many leaves. I can't remember much else other than it really creeped me out as a kid.

Now I checked out the Tale of the Frozen Ghost episode because it looked most similar to what I remember and the woods in that episode looked very much like what I have been remembering. The screenshot during the credits resembles what I have been describing, only in that one it's the ghost of a boy, and the background is almost completely dark/night time.

Am I just thinking of Tale of the Frozen Ghost and am misremembering what I thought I saw?

Rewatching, and S1E8 is really emotional

The flashbacks with Boyd, Abby, and Ellis from when they are traveling to Boyd being surprised with his boat, to Ellis begging Boyd to stay in town for him and Abby, to the penultimate scene in the flashbacks, Kenny standing up for himself to try and knock some sense into Boyd and later holding the town meeting himself, Tabitha recalling Thomas's death, and even to more wholesome emotional moments like Kenny and Christie discussing their book and Boyd and Donna talking before he leaves to go into the woods with Sarah.

This episode just might be my favourite episode of the show's entirety, so far.

Phone screen doesn't turn on (using HDMI-USBc Pixel 8)

I have an old pixel 8 that has a dead display from damage. The phone still works as I can feel vibrations from it when I hold the power button, unlock phone, etc.. is there any way I can use an HDMI to USB C to display it on a TV so that I can transfer photos and game saves without going into the settings of the phone itself to set up mirroring? I know it's a long shot.

I am not gonna spend hundreds of dollars to get the display fixed. I'll cut my losses with my old data being stuck on my phone if the only real way is to fix the display or figure out how to blindly navigate menus without a display lol

Can you view a history of when apps were opened?

Is there any way to view a detailed log that isn't just a brief record of "screen time" ?

Phone sent text message that I didn't manually send

I have a pixel 9 phone that I left at home while I went to work. At a specific time my phone sent a picture message (RCS) of my roommate's cat that I took yesterday. But I didn't get home until about 15 or so minutes after the text was sent.

The weird thing is that I apparently sent the same photo yesterday at the exact same time as the one that was sent today. She showed me a screenshot of our RCS chat and showed it showed the photo from me along with a text message, but when I looked at our chat on my phone that photo doesn't show up with the text.

I take pictures of her cat often and send them to her frequently so I must have sent it yesterday as I did have my phone on me at that time but I just don't consciously remember since it happens so often. But why would it have sent again today at the same time of day as yesterday? Is it possible to check if I accidentally scheduled a send or something? I know how to use scheduled messages and I definitely didn't use that feature recently. I'm very confused

As in a game based on a movie or something that you didn't expect to have good music.

(Gonna have to say no Goldeneye because every track in that game is UNsurprisingly top notch)

"Who Dump" from the PS1 Grinch game actually goes pretty damn hard. Plus it's name is hilarious.
