More of 'pet peeve'... I get annoyed with these new cell phones and even websites. These IT and other techs are trying to reinvent the wheel to hard with technology. Just make things simple so "Joe 6-pack" or grandma can operate.
Being an Android user all along... are you talking about a physical button, or a particular spot on the screen?
A round, physical button that was on the bottom of iPhones through the 10 or so.
I kind of thought that's what you meant, but wasn't sure. Trying to remember the last phone I had that had a physical "home" button/equivalent. 10 years ago, maybe?
do you have to use facial recognition? I hope there’s an option not to.
No.
If it's not set up I believe the screen goes directly to the password log in screen.

It's funny that my phone recognizes me with my work sunglasses on but not with my good sunglasses on. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the facial recognition but I kinda like it.

It was awful during the pandemic with masks. And also in the dark.
Calling up the BIL last minute to ask if he was interested in hitting up the local hs football game only to find out my niece was begging him to go to the same game not 5 minutes earlier but he didn't think he was interested in going. We made it happen, the weather was perfect and there's something about a h.s. game that's hard to beat.
What surprised me (but probably not most of you by now) was we had to buy the tickets in advance and the tickets were then scanned from a phone just like going to a Gophers game. I would have thought something like that at the h.s. level would be reserved for sections or state. ?
I can definitely say that officially becoming a home owner as of today is a simple pleasure!
My future in laws gave us a bottle of wine from their trip to Italy in April and we have been saving it for this occasion since we began the home buying process. Tonight is the night! Homemade spaghetti sauce with ground Italian sausage combined with tortellini pasta, some fresh garlic bread, salad, and some fantastic wine. Cannot wait!!

Congratulations, kid!
Well done and don’t worry, mom and I couldn’t make it anyway.

Just read about a computer game where the goal is to play a trombone a la guitar hero. as someone who formerly played the trombone I found this video to be absolutely hysterical.
So tempted to give you a down vote and bring you down.....
(it's sad such a great player & Gopher like Bonin get dragged through the mud like this...)

Online app. We'll play in bed at night or wherever throughout the day or evening. The app keeps all your individual stats and head to head stats. I'm 155-146 vs. my wife. Though she lets the two youngest (9 and 4) play me on her phone from time to time. Helps with their spelling and one time the 4 yr old did beat me... lol!!!
Thanks to a tip from GrandForksGopher (former GPLer), bought myself five Paqui One Chip Challenges at a local Walgreen's. One chip, flavored with Carolina Reaper AND Scorpion Pepper. I've done the challenge before, and it's like shoving an oven in your mouth, but with flavor. For those who wonder, this video is pretty accurate (Safe For Work, btw):

Got this text from my nephew this morning. I am the uncle of the year!!
Lately when I walk up to {his son} and ask “did you poop” {his daughter} from across the room yells, “no he isn’t pushing out a badger right now”. Thanks uncle {GE} ?.

Had to edit part of the text my wife sent out in the family group text. Along with keeping an eye on her heart. She is also special needs non verbal. So she’s a true warrior for the cards that she’s been dealt in life.
“This morning was our oldest’s annual cardiologist appointment. Since her heart surgery at age 2 we have been thankful each year that she has only had “moderate valve leakage” and each year we were cautious and watching to see that there wasn’t any change that it had gotten worse.
Today, the doctor said A**’s heart has gotten BETTER!! Instead of “moderate leakage” he said there is now only “mild leakage” and everything looks strong! We’ll continue the annual checkups but he said he really doesn’t have any concerns. He’s not sure what it will look like when she is 20 or 30 but it is good!!
Followed by my wife dropping A** off at school and walking her through the hall only to hear exciting cheering from her class in the lunchroom saying “Hi A**”…”Yay A**’s here”….”Look A**’s here”…with the biggest smiles from her class friends.”

I miss the simple pleasures of youth. I was thinking today how when I was a kid in the late 70s and 80s and how much I loved biking up to Ridgedale with a friend or two... playing arcade games at Piccadilly Circus... grabbing some Taco Bell or an Orange Julius... looking through Spencer's Gifts at rock posters, etc. Checking out the girls in their tight stonewashed Guess jeans. ?
Somebody get me that DeLorean so I can hit 88 MPH and go back to 1983. ?

My neighbor has a DeLorean - with a flux capacitor! - but he's fairly certain there's no chance that underpowered beast will hit 88MPH. ?
