If you do have one already, use it to your advantage for talking to people you actually know to find a new role. I had a 80% conversation to interview rate for direct connections or friends of friends. And a less than 1 percent interview rate with cold applications.

Markpelly Link ParentI does quite well with these things. I have not had any problems. For the record I have 9 Google nests, 7 Google TV/chromecasts, 2 Google audios, and a bunch of other smart objects.I does quite well with these things. I have not had any problems.

Markpelly Link ParentIt doesn't appear that you are losing these functions, it is just a different AI assistant. They are moving devices to Gemini.It doesn't appear that you are losing these functions, it is just a different AI assistant. They are moving devices to Gemini.

However because kids don't focus forever on that medium, I was hoping to sneak in some extra practice with something more "exciting". They have a 5-10min time slot a day to use a couple apps on my phone, but they have outgrown the education level on them. One is ABC Mouse, and they no longer get much out of the reading games and learning portions.

Not sure where this goes but I am looking for an app to help fill in between other reading practice we do with our 5 year old.
This won't be the main tool to help them learn, just trying to find something fun to help learn a bit. Does anyone have recommendations for fun and educational reading apps?

Just start cooking with lots of olive oil and clean only as much as necessary.
We cook eggs in ours occasionally but i wouldn't say it's nonstick like some would make it out to be. Disclaimer we have been only using cast iron for cooking for 10 years, 2 meals a day, we love it. -
Comment on Ruins of the web: Hello Internet in ~tech
Markpelly Link ParentI mean a lot of chats on HI were also apple related, and it went in one ear and out the other. I was just there for the banter.I mean a lot of chats on HI were also apple related, and it went in one ear and out the other. I was just there for the banter.
I also have a heat pump dryer like the person below me. Mine is an American model that plugs into 220 still, so it can do full heat pump mode, or regular temps for clothes drying. We like it a lot, and I don't think we have issues with clothes shrinking.
I will say that no matter the dryer I believe some cheap t shirts are going to shrink on their first wash/dry, no matter what. But they should be stable after that.
