I have the back yawn thing too! For years! My back is relatively otherwise fine, some occassional sciatic pains, but when I do a deep yawn it feels like a sewing needle is being stabbed into my lower back and stops soon as the yawn does. Creepy, really. Glad to know I am not alone.

Is the volume dipping problem only when using AirPods? If so sounds like “adaptive audio” (changes the volume based around how noisy your environment is) or “conversation awareness” (lowers volume when it thinks someone is talking to you). Can turn them off in AirPod settings.

Thanks gang, this impacts the volume in both headphones and when on loud speaker.

Awareness features are off.

There’s an accessibility setting that turns the volume down when the phone thinks you’re looking at it? “Attention aware” I think

Can you change the settings to turn the volume up when some idiot wants to talk to you?

Came here to suggest a similar thing! My headphones have an "awareness" setting, so it turns on pass-through audio when I or someone starts to speak (very annoying, turned it off right away). Have a test Alice, bang some things when you're listening or start to speak, and see if it happens again. And while AI is sometimes the devil, ChatGPT is very good at condensing all the tech problems from the whole internet and offering a few solutions based on your problem, so, that could help you debug it too.

i feel like all of your problems can be solved by chatgpt. i have recently discovered ALL of my problems gone, just like that! I even got a refund from my dentist [long story] and figured that that I don't need to surgically chop the end of my finger off after all [exciting story, but here's not the time or place - DM me!!] Thanks, AI [not AL].

So now Larisa Oleynik is in my search history because I thought isn’t that Alex Mack from off of The Secret World of Alex Mack?

Looking up actors in shows is one I do often. I spent at least an hour on the cast of The White Lotus.

Are you really watching a show if you’re not in the Filmography section of Wikipedia for every cast member?

Oh yes of course, even need to pause the show. British Scandal also seems to send me down rabbit holes.

2 am googling is always fun, as you never know where Google or the mind will take you.

Just to follow up on Boum Boum Milk, about 20 years ago a French girl I was very keen on laughed in my face for using the word 'boum' for a party. Apparently it was terribly old fashioned and only used for kids' parties.

So, maybe it's more accurately Birthday at McDonald's Birthday at McDonald's Milk?

It was both, thank you! I'm a first-time sporter of long hair, and I had no idea there was so much to it. I miss being able to insta-dry my hair with one towel swipe. Everything was simpler when I had less of it. Also, you've been lifting? Nice!! I looked through the tabs on my phone (currently 87) to see what I googled. About 40 tabs back I tried typing out a Russian word one of the British Scandal guests said, failed, and eventually found it (siloviki).

Do you peel the eggs before the marinade? Recipe suggests not, but photo looks like bare eggs.

I was so sucked into the Violette story that when I was in Paris I searched out her pop up in a fancy dept store. The staff were so bloody rude to me, I clearly am not a Violette girl in their eyes…. Funnily enough I didn’t buy anything
