Can I force a reboot (hold LEFT + RETURN) remotely? Tried to do it on the phone app but it wouldn't recognise the simultaneous dual touch.

Genuinely trying to understand this from NSW Government regarding roundabouts. I'm really struggling to think of a situation where flicking the indicator stalk is too difficult or physically impractical for the average able-bodied human. I mean sure you're putting more effort into things like manipulating steering wheel, pedals, etc, than using the indicator?

I exit roundabouts thousands of times a year and have never felt like this was some kind of feat of athleticism.

By contrast they say you MUST indicate upon entering if you're going left or right, so surely if I am capable of indicating upon entry it would follow I can indicate upon exit? Maybe if you're using hand controls, but it's still a contradiction.

When I'm listing to music in my car, and wish to switch the output to my Shokz, I press the multifunction button and the music starts going through my headphones. Awesome! That's how my Backbeat headphones work as well.

However, when I'm on a CALL in the car, and wish to do the same thing (switch audio output to Shokz), the multifunction button HANGS UP ON THE CALLER! (unlike my Backbeats which, predictably, switches the audio output to the headphones instead of hanging up the call).

How did Shokz make such a bone-headed UX decision?

Anyway, is there a way to change the behaviour of the multifunction button on the Shokz app? I've had a look but can't find it.

I'm looking for something similar to the Samsung silicone case for the Fold 7. I do not want hinge protection on either side (see exposed hinge on picture). Just a simple silicon back that snaps on and gives me a kickstand.

Is this available?

Do you consider yourself an above or below-average driver? And how does it compare to what you see on the roads everyday that gives you that opinion?

P.S. not my photo. Just added it for effect.

I was parked this morning waiting to take my daughter to school and we were watching a crew unload their mowers getting ready to start mowing the overgrown verges around the area.

There were seven workers and every single one of them was smoking while setting up their mowers. I found this fascinating. I don't think I know of a single person in my family and friend circle that smokes, and here is a concentrated set of positive correlation between smoking and a particular job type.

Got me thinking: is it something about this particular job that appeals to smokers (maybe they can smoke whenever they want vs. working in an office building where you cannot smoke) OR is the mowing work so stressful they need to smoke to relieve stress?

Living in Brissy, it can be tough to get a decent coffee after 2pm. I've often gone to cafes that are still open but they've "shut down their machine" already so no more coffee.

I know those commercial coffee machines are bigger and badder than the Breville I have at home, but they make it sound like the start-up procedure for an aluminium smelter due to the level of effort to get it going again. Cafe workers/owners: is it really that big of a deal? I'm just after a long black.

Been meaning to ask this for ages. Since I did renovations years ago and I heard a guy say "we need 10 trades for this job". So I starting mentally listing types of trades: electrician, plumber, carpenter, etc, and thought to myself: this is a pretty simple job, why do we need 10 types of trades?!

Then I quickly came to realise he meant 10 tradespeople!! Or "tradies" as I've often called them.

Since that experience, I've heard more and more the use of "trades" to talk about the actual people, not the skill itself, as in: I'm going to learn a "trade".

To me: trade = the skill. Tradie = the person performing the skill.

Maybe it's a regional thing? I'm in Brissy.

I don't need a whole heap of earth moving, just something to scrape out garden beds, prep for a shed, move some rocks around, etc. Are these things legit? How are they so cheap?

Anyone actually bought one and is happy?

I love interesting houses. When I say architecturally "significant", I don't necessarily mean the biggest, most expensive houses (although they can also interesting), but ones that have become landmarks for breaking away from the norm and are well executed. I know this can be very subjective but I'm open minded and get enthused by others' enthusiasm.

All styles can be interesting to me. Queenslanders, Mid Century, farmhouse, contemporary... the list goes on.

Also it doesn't necessarily need to be well known or heritage listed. Just something your find interesting architecturally.
