Does the presence of troubleshooting information serve as a valid indication of widespread issues?
40+ years ago, it was very common for manufacturers of consumer electronics to have service manuals available for every model of everything, from table fans to microwave ovens to Atari consoles.
Yes because taking advice to medicine itself everyday based on an online entrepreneur forum to "boot-yourself" is 100% a good advice that you should take blindly without taking a notice on what you are doing.
Creatine is one of the most studied supplements over the last 30+ years. First, it is proven to work for athletic performance and second, it's relatively safe. The AI overview of your Google link even says no evidence of serious harm. If people have underlying health issues and/or they take way more than recommended there can be side effects - just like anything else we put in our bodies.
There was something about iTunes at that time where every time I started my car it would connect to my phone and start playing that U2 album regardless of what I had been listening to earlier. It just would not go away.
There's still something about CarPlay that does that kind of thing but not tied to a specific song. I'll be in my car listening to the car's radio, with my phone on its mount but inactive and all is well. The phone connected wirelessly to CarPlay when I started the car, but I'm not using any CarPlay features on this trip.
Then I need to activate the phone (say I'm pulling into the McDonalds parking lot and need to look at the McD app to get my drive thru pickup code for my order), so I tap it and swipe up...and the car switches to playing in whatever app I last used in CarPlay such as Podcasts or Spotify.
If I hit the media button to bring up the car's media selection screen and switch it back to radio that plays for a few seconds and then it switches back to CarPlay.
If on the phone I go to the now playing thingy in control center and hit the gizmo for selecting where to play I can explicitly switch it from CarPlay to iPhone Speaker and then it stops messing with the radio.
Some Googling and some asking LLMs turned up that a lot of people have problems with CarPlay overriding the car's entertainment system and apparently nobody has a fully satisfactory way to deal with it. Some people have addressed it by using Shortcuts automation to pause playback whenever the phone wakes up. They still get interrupted, but at least it doesn't keep interrupting.
I have a 2010 Honda. I found a usb port in the glove box. When I plug in my phone there is a 50% chance it will start playing my iTunes library alphabetically. (I get a Neville Brothers song, which isn’t so bad, I put it in there)
I couldn't burn the letter, as it didn't let me have matches in my pocket:
Set the leaflet on fire with a match from my pocket. "Burn after reading"
You decide that the leaflet's secrets must remain hidden and try to set it aflame with a match from your pocket.
You search your pockets for a match to burn the leaflet, but alas, you find nothing of the sort. It seems you'll need to find another way if you wish to dispose of the evidence.
Shred the leaflet and slowly eat the pieces.
Intent on secrecy, you tear the leaflet into tiny pieces, preparing to consume them one by one.
You attempt to rip apart the leaflet, but the act baffles you—this stubborn paper refuses to tear, as if protected by some strange magic. The leaflet remains whole, defiantly intact in your hands.
put the leaflet back in the mailbox. Shake your fist to the sky and curse the rigidity of this universe.
Unable to destroy the leaflet, you decide to return it to the mailbox.
With a dramatic glare, you raise your fist to the heavens, venting your frustration at this world's strange laws. The birds and trees ignore your plight, and the universe remains as unyielding as ever.
No matter how passionately you try to shake your fist at the sky, the very concept escapes you. The universe itself seems to smirk at your futile rebellion.
The southern end of the central valley (San Joaquin region, whole central valley is outlined in red) is particularly hard-hit by groundwater depletion. Some of that storage does not come back, because the ground compacts after the groundwater is withdrawn.
