“We would speak for about a year after he passed on – he was very, very present”: Twin Peaks and Dune’s Alicia Witt tells us how the late David Lynch guided her new album

Regarding the part of the interview that has the qualifier: "Mendelssohn piece as my sister [Lara Flynn Boyle’s Donna Hayward] was reading the poem": The sister reading the poem was Harriet Hayward, played by Jessica Wallenfels.

Interesting interview.

Recent quote of Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk at a recent Firefly panel at MCM Comic-Con about animated Firefly project moving slowly

If this has already been posted and I didn't find it, apologies.

As mentioned in a comment below by u/SnooDonkeys3292:

>Already posted here Firefly update : r/firefly in case you want to follow the discussion so far. Although the video that you linked to was posted on July 21, the panel that Nathan and Alan said this at occurred at the end of May. So the quote is a couple of months old at this point. It is also worth pointing out that it was only two months after the announcement about the animated series at Awesome Con.

I haven't watched the video, but reportedly this snippet of quotes is from it:

>Nathan Fillion: So, you saw a video, not announcing a series, but announcing the development of the series. Boy, it takes a lot longer than one would hope. The development to get a show onto a television network or streaming platform. It's not easy work, Alan, or else everyone would do it, right?

>Alan Tudyk: I agree. I know. Especially since previously I mentioned the business is in a bit of a... going through some things. So, it's in process much like developing photos when we were young. You go to a little box, guy who lives in a little house in a parking lot. That's how they would do it in the states, the Kodak part, and you drop them off to some guy who was certainly stoned and you'd pick them up a little while later after he's done rifling through all of your personal images. So, we're in the rifling through the personal images part. We're not ready to pick them up, but when we do, you will hear.

21-year old 26 Cubic Foot Maytag model PSD262LHEB Refrigerator - is it worth potentially paying to get a quote to fix?

About two weeks ago, our (luckily) spare old fridge and freezer started getting warmer and warmer. I even tried turning the circuit breaker to it for five minutes (I'd have to pull it out to reach the cord), and also turned it "off" from the temperature controls, but the coldest both the freezer and fridge portions get to is 60 F.

It's nice having a spare fridge and we're considering whether it's worth it to get a quote to repair it, or just to replace it instead. I'm not in any particular rush.

Opinions?

Thank you.

Edit to add that if we do end up buying a new fridge, we'll be considering making our current primary fridge into our spare, and buying a new primary one. That would mean we'd remove the ice bucket from our current one to have more room in the spare freezer, and we'd have to buy a new one with an icemaker, but just more food for thought.

Also edit to add that the spare fridge is beside our washer and dryer, and only 15 feet away from our primary one.

GBoard swipe in Chrome address bar working for me now

Regarding the issue previously reported at this link, this is working for me now, Chrome version 149.0.7827.103 and GBoard version 17.4.3.909935335-release-arm64-v8a on my Pixel 8 Pro.

Having to re-verify my identity on the U.S. social security website using the same painful methods I previously already did

Sigh.

I got an email about checking my social security statement. As usual, I don't click anything in the email just in case, and I manually go to the social security site. I had previously verified my identity through them and from what I remember, it was fairly painful because things of course don't work as smoothly as they're supposed to.

I also have 2FA which I use through an app. I get past that point on the social security site and now it says "Verify your identity again for SSA", and gives me four steps to do so, which are the same painful steps I did a year ago.

Why do I bother having a password and 2FA if I have to sacrifice my sanity yearly?

I think I'll opt to not bother checking my statement.

Background: Google Clock mostly worked perfect for me for alarms until they changed the interface. Effectively, as they do, they since made it so that you had all the same features, but it now takes many more clicks to access them all. Additionally, one of it's features that I treasured stopped working correctly.

Details of what doesn't work correctly: Scheduling alarms. That is, for an alarm that you want set to not necessarily go off when the time occurs next, but on a particular date (two days from now, for example).

What happens when I use the feature now: From all indications on my phone, the alarm is scheduled correctly. It goes off on my watch at the very first opportunity, however, making it useless.

Example: I set an alarm named "Start work early" to 7:45 AM two days from now. The very next day - one day early, the alarm goes off on my watch at 7:45 AM. I've noticed that the phone makes no indication that an alarm is going off when this happens, but pressing stop on the watch disables the alarm on the phone as well.

What I've tried to fix it. I've multiple times disabled and re-enabled Alarm sync in the Google Clock app on my Pixel 8 Pro. I've (multiple times) factory reset both my watch and phone. I've submitted feedback about the issue to Google at least once. After a factory reset, things behave normally at first, but very quickly, it consistently starts having this issue again. I am not factory resetting my devices one more time.

Features I'm looking for in a replacement phone and WearOS clock app:

  • Name alarms.
  • Pause alarms (like with Google Clock) - where you can easily configure a regularly scheduled alarm not to go off one or more particular consecutive days, as a "one-off".
  • Schedule alarms to go off on a particular future date, without repeating.
  • Have the alarms only vibrate on my watch when I'm wearing it - no sound.
  • Have alarms set to repeat on particular days of the week - this is a no brainer in an alarm app, but...
  • Backup my alarms via Google's automatic cloud. I'd work around it if it at least would have an automatic local backup feature.
  • Sync alarms from the phone to watch and vice-versa.
