No, hair dryer works by taking ambient air and heating it before blowing it out. Besides, definitely don’t want to heat up the phone. The aircon dries the air itself as part of the cooling. When using your windscreen vents you don’t have to set the temperature to hot to clear the windscreen as long as that aircon compressor is running. People just do because when you need to defog your windscreen it’s usually cold as fuck outside…

To dry the phone, set vent to windscreen, temperature to cold, and make sure the aircon indicator on. Cold, dry air.

I found if the car is nearby, place the wet phone over the windscreen de-mister vent and then run the aircon through that vent. Doesn’t have to be hot air to dry it as long as the compressor for the aircon is running… Aircon dries out the air before blowing it through the cabin so you will have bone dry air circulating around the phone pulling the moisture out by evaporation. About 10 mins is plenty. Best done idling in the shade. Don’t want to sun damage the phone while trying dry it out…

Certainly not seeing you as an ass on a rant. I do aim to do better. I said it because I didn’t consider you. The concept of you. A person of disability in this world. This instance. This conversation. The problem with the online world is that you don’t see the other person. You take impressions. “These people have similar opinions, they must be just like me…” And in my case, “just like me” is a mid 40s able bodied white man. I see words on a screen with similar views to mine, the mind doesn’t default to “dark skinned woman with paraplegia” (I have no idea who you are, just an example of who isn’t me). It doesn’t see that. Instead similar views is similar person.

Was that a throwaway line of "dark humour " for the lowest common denominator? Probably. But it doesn’t matter because it was still hurtful.

I know I would never have thrown it out in front of my coworker Jake. The man has cerebral palsy, but we’re both employed to unload that truck. He is my equal.

Why does what I think or say even have to be thought about? Probably because I was raised in a home of “different is wrong” and stereotyping. Who I became as a young man and who I want to become as I get older are 2 different things that take effort.

Thankyou for helping me with my path.

You’re right, last sentence wasn’t required. No need to insult those who have been inconvenienced by the cards life has dealt them. But, I’m going to own my mistake and leave it up. No sneaky shameful edit from me. That was a cunty thing to say and I apologise that (not if) I offended you and all others I offended.

Just wear the damn helmet. Done up properly too. Don’t just place it on our head so the cops leave you alone.

It’s nothing to do with your skill. It’s to keep you head intact when some idiot knocks you off your bike. Right of way and who is to blame don’t mean shit when you’re airborne heading for the pavement. Doesn’t matter who fucked up when your brains are mush. You won’t care because you’ll be dead if you’re lucky or brain damaged if you’re not.

I’d rather look like a retard than become one…

Thankyou Jeena, you absolute God/ess!

How do you force Smarttube as default? I uninstalled the default YouTube app, but if the device suggests a YouTube video and I click on it, it tries to install YouTube instead of opening it in Smarttube.

If you don’t want to write out a lot of instructions but have a link to someone else’s instructions, please feel free to do that…

Frogleap Studios. Awesome stuff. I love his cover of “Can’t get you out of my head” by Kylie Minogue. The way he acts in that video helps to highlight just how stalkerish that song is
