Pokemon fans have been left perplexed after being commanded by the official Pokemon Twitch channel to 'Discover Oddish' for over 19 hours, with a soundless stream showing nothing but the company's logo for the best part of a day.

The Pokemon Company's Twitch channel is a pretty active one, so to see it streaming something isn't out of the ordinary. With that being said, 'Discover Oddish' certainly managed to turn heads, and you can see why. As the hours passed, fans on Twitter began to question what was going on. Why was there a mostly-blank stream on the channel? Why are we discovering Oddish? What did Oddish do? And perhaps most importantly, when will it end?

Walking on the river road along side the Rio Grande yesterday and noticed this through the brush.

Years ago I purchased a Google home hub. It is almost exclusively used to play music while I am cooking. First I used Google music or YouTube music (I forget which) then Spotify. I now have left Android and Spotify behind. In the Google home app I do not see an option to use tidal music. And when I try and share audio from my iPhone the hub does not appear on Bluetooth or WiFi devices.

Even when using Spotify I would have to start the music on the hub then open the app on my phone to put on the music I wanted.

Is there a way to keep using the hub? Or should I get another HomePod?

7-star Tera Raid Battles: Incineroar with the Mightiest Mark

5-star Tera Raid Battles: Blissey (Friday, September 13, 2024, at 00:00 UTC to Sunday, September 15, 2024, at 23:59 UTC)

Every Monday morning I get a spreadsheet from one of my distributors that lists all items I have on pre and back order. I download that file, and then do my spreadsheet sorting. However, since I started to use the ProtonMail app on MacOS (vs in Safari) when I download the file, it gives an error that there is already a file by that name. When I save with Safari it adds a number to make it unique. I am unsure if this is a MacOS issue, or a ProtonMail app issue.

Not only does the credit bureau max out their password length, you have a small list of available non-alphanumeric characters you can use, and no spaces. Also you cannot used a plused email address, and it had an issue with my self hosted email alias, forcing me to use my gmail address.

Both Experian and transunion had no password length limitations, nor did they require my username be my email address.

Update: I have been unable to log into my account for the last 3 days now. Every time I try I get a page saying to call customer service. After a total of 2 hours on hold I finally found the issue, you cannot connect to Equifax using a VPN. In addition there is no option for 2FA (not even email or sms) and they will hang up on you if you push the issue of their security being lax. Their reasoning for lax security and no vpn usage is "well all of our other customers are okay with this".

Beginning in early September, 2024, we will be holding an event—Suicune Research!

You can exchange samples of Suicune Mane that you collect during the event for Suicune Incense, which you can use to research Suicune’s various sleep styles!

Water-type helper Pokémon will be particularly effective during this event, so we recommend raising your Water-type helper Pokémon to get ready! Water-type helper Pokémon: Squirtle, Wartortle, Blastoise, Psyduck, Golduck, Slowpoke, Slowbro, Vaporeon, Totodile, Croconaw, Feraligatr, Wooper, Quagsire, Slowking, Quaxly, and Quaxwell.

We’re also preparing some functions and rewards that will allow everyone—even Pokémon Sleep beginners—to research Suicune’s sleep styles and befriend it more easily.

More details and the event’s start date are coming in a later update. We hope you’re looking forward to this event!

After moving my lotus seedlings into water pots they were not getting enough sunlight. A friend loaned me a grow light tonight.

Before the grow light:

I have always been real good about ensuring my business and the surrounding businesses (and other locations) are up to date in Apple, Bing, and Google Maps. I just started looking at OpenStreet Maps and see it has not been updated in over 3 years (and 2 locations ago). I updated the address, but the marker did not move. I do not see a way to move the marker to the correct location.

I am guessing I need to move all of the info (most of it is inaccurate) to where my business is currently located and then mark the old location as closed, or is there a better way to do that?

I live in rural NM, and getting physical comics is a trek. I used to use Comixology, but missed physical books so much I opened a comic and game shop in my small town. The comic side of things failed, my game sales were financing the comics. So after just over a year i cancelled my comic account to focus on the games.

Since then Amazon took over comixology and moved shopping for comics onto Amazon, which after three days of trying to find titles I have decided to explore other avenues.

I know when I was selling comic books marvel had their own app, do all of the publishers have those? Or is Amazon the only name in the game?

I am looking to catch up on Dynamite’s Red Sonya, Marvel’s Conan, Elfquest, anything X-Force, X-23, and probably Firefly. I have not read a comic since my last order came into the shop in January 2020. The news of the new X-23 series is what started to pull me back in again, I did manage to get a subscription to that on Amazon.

The header image appears to be for comic books, but two page of newest posts appears to be all comic strips.
