Does Nicole give Durin the boot!?

I've been trying to make Klee viable for a long time so I was thrilled to get Durin, but obviously Nicole is great for Klee. Do I have to dump Durin? Say it isn't so! Can I not go with mono pyro like Klee Kazuha Durin Nicole?

Why does Visual Voicemail constantly fail? Who is responsible? Samsung? Android? The Carrier?

I haven't ever been able to figure out who owns this function. Is it an Android feature? Something that Samsung offers? Do I have to talk to my provider (Cricket)? Does anyone have it working? Does anyone know?

If you side swipe someone and exchange insurance, but then get ticketed, what do you do?

Already worked with the other driver and insurance, but got ticketed too? Is this like speeding tickets where you would generally pay a lawyer instead to argue the ticket or something? Or in the case of an actual accident, is paying all you can do?

What's a way to safely see websites when you can't use an adblocker?

Androidpolice has some cool articles, but is a clusterfuck of ads and problematic scripts. Is there a way to see their content without the nonsense without using an adblock (which is blocked at work).

I posted something for sale on Nextdoor and the person who contacted me is giving vibes. They asked for my Zelle name and number so they can pay before they even came to look at the merch. Is this sketchy?

They claim their husband will be able to stop by later in the day. I told them I'd give them the address when someone is on the way. Now they asked if I take Zelle which I can through my credit union, but they're asking for my details now even though they haven't come to look at it.

Should I be worried? Is there any risk here? I can send them the QR code I use for receiving payments can't I? Or is that ill advised?

Looking for song I only remember a snippet of. Similar in style to "I can only count to four" maybe?

Numetal? something? I had a tiny snippet of the song in my head all day on repeat and the line from the title is all I remember. The literal words "Yah da da da dah da" followed by growling that ends in OR like floor or more or something. Very fast beat.

Regular lockups - how do I prevent this?

Every now and then, Nova launcher locks up and I can see things, technically still operate it (if I tap an icon, it opens), but it's not actually responding. I can't see any change of screen, can't open groups. The only way to get it to work again is to search in settings for apps, open the Nova control manually, find the restart button, and restart it.

I have to do this several times a week now - it's really obnoxious. What can I do to avoid this? Anything?

Samsung S21

Android version 15

Nova Launcher 8.7.3

My kid scraped up the left side of an 2008 honda. It's a really nice car for its age, but the good news is that it looks like she just scraped along a building a few feet. The mirror came completely off, but was in surprisingly good condition. I was able to reattach it mostly with a little duct tape so that she can drive safely. The side of her car is scraped up in about a two foot height from front to back.

I don't remember the deductible on her insurance, but if it's high and the cost of repair is low I'm wondering if it was a good idea to file a claim (she already did).

Regardless, my questions:

* Anything I should watch out for in repair places? One of them has a "photo estimate" option through carwise that wants VIN and such. Is that a concern?

* The mirror might be less than the deductible to fix, but the scraping likely wouldn't be. Is there any reason we shouldn't just pay the deductible and get the whole repair done? Is there some insurance consequence to that which will bite us later?

My options are Care Credit which of course is a scam at 32%, so that's out. Although if they did offer a no interest financing deal would it makes sense if I was certain I could pay it off before the year was up?

My other options are to borrow from my 401k or maybe do an unsecured loan through my credit union. I can also put it on my credit card which is at 13.16%

I have no idea how to compare different kinds of loans and consequences thereof so I really need some help

I've seen MUCH more than this, but purposefully only put one version of any series intending to speak to the series as a whole, but when in doubt, assume I'm only talking about the first season.

There are plenty of others I didn't include either because I haven't seen them or forgot them or because I figured this is plenty to have a discussion.

I know some people are going to ask about why their favorites are rated down, but I really hate gag-anime where every episode is the same joke repeated. Some of the rest I just found tedious, absurd, or boring.

Yes, I'm taking questions.

As a fun game, try to guess how I'd answer for the anime you're thinking of that I didn't include here.

I live in the Seattle area and having the heat in the winter makes sense but there's no cooling function so there's really not much point to moving the air around is there? Feels like a waste of electricity to me

It gets hot and we don't have central air. We already have several standing airconditioners that plug into the window for the season, but that doesn't cool every room and the kids get toasty. I've been looking the swamp coolers on Amazon - some are even under $100, though I'm not as worried about price as I am:

* Whether they actually work

* Whether they increase humidity to a concerning degree

* Water control - how difficult is operation and maintenance?

Has anyone tried this that can give me an idea of what to look for (if it's even a decent option)?

I'm being forced to move to "new" outlook and, per usual, they forgot some important things. Light mode is obviously bad, but dark mode has weird colorations that are hard for me to see. I'm using dark mode in my browser right and it looks great, but the outlook one is some kind of weird high-contrast nonsense that's hurting my eyes.

I had a nice dark grey theme that was somewhere in the middle in Functional Outlook, but that doesn't seem to exist in Le'Shit Outlook. Is there some way I can approximate it or otherwise fix this absurdity?

My kid just has too many conditions. One that makes it hard to remember/care to brush teeth. Another than makes them panic and freak out when getting dental work (the screaming is unnerving and we'd like to avoid that). So we're stuck with full anesthetic dental for about $11k that we definitely don't have.

The only place that is set up to handle kids with their conditions is out of network (of course) so we're basically screwed.

Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this situation? This is Washington State if it matters.

EDIT: It's worse than I thought. There's a second half of this that's happening a month later for about the same amount (a little less, not that that matters).
