I know that they probably named it Goose because he was a RIO and assisted the pilot, but the fact that Goose dies and this is a Google product is actually more fitting.

For me, it's

  • Samus Aran
  • Mario
  • Commander Shepard
  • Link

I'm happy that the pilot is OK.

This is the Staind I enjoyed listening to as well. I couldn't get into "It's Been Awhile" at all and never gave them another listen other than Dysfunction.

I believe what they're getting at is an issue if they're not already authenticated prior to the outage. Then they'd have no access to their media unless they look into the workaround for that beforehand. It has been an issue in the past, especially when Plex's auth servers go down. I remember plenty of Reddit threads complaining about it.

It's probably an issue all over, and I hope it gets blocked, for the sake of consumers. Kroger acquired a company called Roundy's which has a chain called "Pick N Save" in Wisconsin back in 2015. I remember shopping there after and seeing additional tags with products' prices announcing the "Your New Low", but prices were higher than pre acquisition. I stopped shopping there after that and noticing a decrease in product/brand diversity.

Yeah, kinda crazy here in the upper Midwest. It snowed on Halloween. That's it. We saw some sleet last week, but it just made things wet. I always feel like we're "due" a lot of snow when something like this happens, but that's becoming less and less of a thing.

I was in a very similar position as you. Thirteen year user, moderator for a few smaller subreddits, including one that provided support for a US-based mobile phone carrier, and deleted everything when the API change happened.

It took time and effort to coordinate and help uplift those who generated the great content for those subreddits, but Reddit, Inc., was unwilling to help us moderators who had developed and used the tools necessary to do it. I wasn't willing to put in the additional time since Reddit was themselves unwilling to, post API change.

In response to such critiques, Reddit spokesperson Rathschmidt said he did not “know of an industry benchmark for scoring content quality”.

(Emphasis mine)

This is the same tone deaf response I've come to expect from Reddit for some time now, and is why I'm happy to no longer be a user of their platform.

Agreed. It didn't feel respectful when they started replacing mod teams that refused to reopen.

You're correct. Google maps works. Android Auto does not.
