  • Can you change your body temperature at will?

    Jump

  • It's a nice little party trick too. When iphones could first detect heart rates, some of my friends were talking about it, so I said that I could slow my heart rate down. None of them believed me, so I got them to measure it. Once it was done I asked them if they wanted it to be faster or slower. They still didn't believe me, so I did both.

    It's one of those silly little things that isn't really useful, but can shut your friends up for a bit :p

  • In your opinion, what is the best brand of cell phones in terms of quality and price today?

  • I know what you mean, there was something that changed. I can't remember exactly what happened either though. I just know that I can uninstall a lot of the apps that I couldn't before :)

  • I had something similar when I first set up the phone, but I disabled it along with most of the other junk. Apart from immediately after an update, I haven't seen it again. Even then it was easy to disable.

    I had an automatically installed games folder after the update too, and that was a bit trickier to remove, but it was just a case of finding it in the settings. I'm stuck with Facebook because of a music festival I'm involved with, but long pressing it and dragging it to the top of the homescreen gives me the option uninstall it. I don't know if it's an actual uninstall or just disabling it, but it looks legit

  • I've just switched to a Motorola from a Xiaomi, and I'm in the UK. The Xiaomi wouldn't let me uninstall quite a few apps. The Motorola is giving me the option at least

  • I use Firefox with Ublock Origin on Android, and if I watch youtube in the browser, it filters pretty much all ads. Sometimes I get one at the start of a video, but closing the tab and starting again has got rid of them so far 👍

  • What's your missed shot?

  • That's odd, I'm sure I remember taking Aurora photos of my house a few years ago, when the major storm hit the UK, but I can't find them anywhere 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Ouch! That's a proper once in a lifetime shot too 😫

    A Kingfisher is on my wishlist. There's a wetlands near me that apparently has a resident Kingfisher, but I've only ever seen it once, as it was flying off.

    What's your missed shot?

  • Would you rather have hundreds of millions of dollars and be acutely aware of all the bad things going on, or a meager yet sustainable life and completely ignorant of everything.

  • Define donate or give away.

    I've mentioned before that I help run a small music festival, and that it's to help my local area. Raising money for that is a lot of work and takes a lot of energy. Pumping some money in would massively help the festival, which would help me. Would that count as donating, or would it be selfish because it helps me?

    On a similar note, my area is quite poor. If I set up a factory with offices and other facilities that employed the low and unskilled workers at decent living wages, and included child care and employee training and education, would it still count as giving the money away if I made a profit, even if a small one?

    I would be a bit selfish though, I'd build a house and some outbuildings on a large plot of land and soundproof everything completely. I function better at night, but still want to fix up my motorbike and do some woodworking, and I don't want to wake the neighbours.

  • Are you doing something to fuck over "the powerful"? If so, what?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure how long they take off the top of my head, but I think it's quite quick. A lot of the apps only update once a month though, so it can feel like longer

  • To add to this, Street Complete and Every Door are great for getting started. They ask straightforward questions like what's the house number of this building, or does this bus stop have seating. If you can't answer a question you don't have to, you can just go back and answer a different question instead :)

  • On second thought, maybe not

  • Do you volunteer?

    Jump

  • I volunteer at a small music festival. We're trying to help keep the village alive at a time when more and more facilities are closing. I run the website and social media, and take photos over the weekend.

    Taking the photos is probably the most fun, as you get to be part of the festival and watch everyone enjoy the event you set up, as well as watching some of the acts. It's exhausting though, as you don't stop for the better part of three days.

    This year I had a lot to do with booking the acts and liaising with the acts and the venues. That was really interesting, but it nearly killed me. I've got a chronic illness that tires me out, but I thought this would be ok as it's mostly emailing and messaging. I had no idea how many random things have to be organised and rearranged in the run up, or how much can go wrong on the day!

    I'm sticking to photos next year!

  • YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They contain vitamin C, improve blood pressure, and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. Radishes contain almost no calories
