I can usually do these no problem but this one was a real struggle (on Mobile). If you're having issues:

1. I had to hold the phone much further away than I thought.
2. Hold your phone so that your fingers aren't on the left and right sides of the image (ie hold it by the bottom)

Since I haven't seen any of the comments mention this yet...

I think the big reason is storage/bandwidth.

Digital audio is an interesting form of media because the size of an audio file is determined almost entirely by 1) how long it is and 2) the bitrate/quality and has a lot less to do with what the actual content is. Therefore, an audio track of a video that contains dialogue and music is pretty much the same size as one that only contains music. So, if you were to, for example, separate dialogue and music of a video into two tracks to allow a user adjust the volume of either independently of the other (an amazing user experience IMO) the storage size (and bandwidth usage) of the audio virtually doubles despite no "additional" content being added.

Multiple audio track is actually something I've wanted for forever, especially for watching stream on Twitch. But I think it's a pretty hefty burden to place on the service, especially if a lot of people aren't even going to use or notice it.

I use a ceramic bee house e.g.: https://www.amazon.com/Bee-House-Ceramic-Coffee-Dripper/dp/B0047VUNVE

Been using it for years without issue but I think ultimately not terribly different from a v60 other than it's easier to see your drip rate.

I would argue it's not for "no reason". I think the biggest driving force is that it's a rarity you're allowed such freedom so when the opportunity actually presents itself it makes sense to take it since it likely won't be around again anytime soon.

You pretty much nailed it. The Republicans can just collectively decide, "he doesn't represent us", and field a different candidate. Strategically though, doing so would be an incredible blunder so they'll never do that.

Margaret looks like a Kids Next Door character, but I can't quite place who 🤔

Hey, this is definitely getting really close. However, I think for this to work our phones would need to be connected to my Wireguard all the time, right?

Apprise is interesting. One of the many things it talks to might be what I'm looking for. I've seen multiple instances on the Internet of people using some kind of notification to trigger an automation software on the phone which actually sets the alarm. That might be the route to go.

Sajam put out a video on this very subject and can explain what you need to do much better than me: https://youtu.be/wq88UvDbj6E

Home Assistant is an interesting idea. I only learned about it recently but I know it's hella dense and I feel like figuring out how to get it to do this one thing might be a huge task. I'll keep it in mind though if nothing else pops up.

I've never been able to get a calendar to reliably trigger alarms :(

Those are some sour ass looking grapes.
