Right? What isn't an echo chamber?

I find it difficult to defend the idea that Reddit is not a leftist echo chamber. I love Reddit, but it's not a place you go for open and honest discussions between people from both sides of the aisle. Even non-political subreddits will meet right-leaning and conservative ideas with hostility. You can browse the front page of Reddit every day and never see a single thing even remotely pro-Trump or pro-Republican. That's not a knock on Reddit. That's just the truth.

The expansion tank isn't just for the water heater. That increased pressure puts undue strain on the entire plumbing system in your home. It will cause toilet fill valves to fail, supply lines to rupture, and possibly even pinhole leaks. A lot of plumbing issues are solved by installing an expansion tank.

All those wedgies he gave, all those shoestrings he tied. All those brownies he made with the Ex-Lax inside.

So, I've heard "over yonder", and I've heard "as the crow flies", and I live in an area where neither of those phrases are uncommon to hear... But I don't believe I've ever heard them both put together like that.

"Over yonder" is a casual phrase that's used to indicate the general direction or location of a place or thing, usually accompanied by a finger pointing in a rough direction.

"As the crow flies" specifically refers to the shortest distance between two points, rather than travel distance. Like, "the distance between New York and Washington DC is 231 miles by road, or 204 miles, as the crow flies."

"Over yonder" already implies that we are referring to a straight line from A to B, so it would be redundant to add "as the crow flies" after it.

So like, are people really putting those two phrases together like that? If so, I must protest. /angryface

Watched this while in school to get my plumber's journeyman license. Really fascinating stuff.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become Nintendo.

It might be the kind of thing that works sometimes in some situations, but isn't officially supported.

Either way, it used to work for my ShieldTV Pro, but it doesn't work anymore. Doesn't matter how many devices I try to spoof, or how many times I reinstall the app, or how many times I re-login, etc.

Makes me really sad that I formatted the Shield TV. Oh well.

A couple years ago, I used Aurora to install paid games on my Shield TV. Games that Google Play doesn't normally allow on the Shield (like the PS2 era GTA games). Well Google changed something, and it's no longer possible to download and install purchased apps or games through Aurora, even if you log into your Google account. This sucks, because I formatted my Shield TV expecting be able to reinstall these games, but it doesn't work anymore.

Yeah, Aurora is still good, but Google has been crippling it.
