  • “Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers” also known as AMDroid Alarm clock.

    Yes it can shuffle music.

    Downsides; Not FoSS and not free, however it is a cheap one time purchase, no subscriptions. free version ads are just unobtrusive banners. I have Netgaurd blocking WiFi and cell with no issues.

    Features: (no idea what’s paid and not)

    • Incredibly customizable, I never knew there could be so many alarm options - but there are.
    • you can make different alarm profiles, so you only have to set up each “type” of alarm you want once. From there, you just set a time and pick a profile with your settings. Everything from this point on is profile specific.
    • pick any sounds on device (or a folder for random picks), set volume, vibrate, ingnore do not disturb, ignore headphones plugged in, etc.
    • Calandar integration. If you have a schedule that varies, you can set it up to follow that instead of set-days and times.
    • One time skip and one time adjust buttons. Need to wake up an hour early one day, got tomorrow off? Just use these to make the adjustment, next day the alarm will back to normal.
    • optional post alarm “are you awake?” notifications. Dismiss the alarm but fell back asleep? After a few minutes (user set time) it will ask if your awake. With no response, after some time the alarm will go again. (With a different sound or volume if you like)
    • snooze timmer can decrease each time you use it. First snooze 10 min, next is 8, then 6 and so on.
    • various optional challenges that I don’t use. Easy things like type out this text, to the WiFi signal must be higher than X (go stand next your router to shut off alarm).
    • location based settings - for example, morning alarms only go off at hone, break alarms only go off at work.
    • the list continues for some time, but I’ll stop here.












  • #1) “Hey bestie, I know a guy who will pay us to model for an ad about Canadian Oil.”

    #2) “okay…”


    #3) “okay, ladies this will be quick, put on these outfits.”

    #2) “why do I get the skimpy one, are you sure this isn’t another porno?”

    #1) “yes, I’m sure. He said its going on Facebook or something.”

    #3) “Okay, now #2 lean over #1, get in real close like your about to kiss her”

    #2) “…”



  • You’d expect some sort of privacy in bathrooms

    That is the whole point of this mess. The alternative is a person or camera INSIDE the bathroom at all times. The camera would be so much cheaper to deploy…but privavcy laws, rightfully, say no.

    With the sensor all it does is say “smoke/vape detected”, from there an adult can check the hall cam to see who went in or just go right in to catch the kid.

    I assume with the monitor, it makes it easy for a teacher sitting outside the bathroom and can see the popup (in some schools they already have them to check passes and listen for screeming)


  • I will second this, please buy a thermometer or two. I like the ones that tell you the min/max temp its recorded. (Random example, never bought this particular one, check reviews etc.

    I looked at multiple sources to double check the correct temperature, many agree that the freezer should be at 0°F (-18°C)). Water freezes (and by extention most everything else) at 32°F (0°C), siginficatly higher than the recommended 0. Here’s the sceinific Wikipedia article about why, TLDR: not every food freezes at 0°C, so set freezer low enough everything will freeze.

    I found this article that goes over all kinds of food storage info (fridge and how the produce drawers work, freezer temp, pantry etc.)

    https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/refrigerator-freezer-use-and-temperature-tips

    While you wait for your thermometer, ensure nothing is blocking the freezer vents (you said you did that) and turn that thing up.

    The non-scientific, not recommended check; Your icecream should roughly be something in between a rock and butter. If its a rock, its too cold, and its its butter/soup its too warm.
