Can't find drawer navigation

I have two accounts in the app. One of them, if I go to Settings > General has "Drawer Navigation" and "Bottom Navigation" My other account doesn't have these options at all.

Backstreets of Rome [OC]

Canon EOS 70D f/16.0 1/640 18.00mm ISO160O I don't remember the exact location, we were on holiday in Rome. We were on our way to a restaurant called "I Porchettoni" after seeing it on Anthony Bourdain. Looks like the restaurant is rebranded to Trattori Pigneto. It's not far from here but I can't seem to find the exact street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zaPqW2RCHkv8GYyE6 Don't know the guy, just thought his jacket would look cool in a picture with the bricks and graffiti

If I have a USB powered device, could I leave it plugged into a portable power bank (like the kind you charge your phone with) as a power outage backup?

Basically as the title says. We have semi frequent power outages where I live. The noise machine in my daughter's room goes out and wakes her up. If I were to buy a USB powered one, plug it into a power bank like one of those 10000ma ones you get for charging cell phones, would it have continuous power. Basically like a cheap UPS

[OC] Shipwreck of Hephaestus

We were traveling through Malta in 2018 when I came across this. According to the locals it had crashed up on shore about a month prior. They didn't know what to do so they tied it off until they could come up with a solution. My personal favorite of the photos I took. The two guys below were exploring the ship. Thought it would ruin the shot but it ended up adding some good scale.

How well does the raspberry pi handle being a moonlight client

I'm thinking about moving my PC out to the living room and streaming back to my office when I need to. I've used a number of moonlight clients with mixed results. Apple TV and Xbox Series X, terrible with massive lag. Android with Nvidia shield pro or Chromecast with Google TV, not bad but not amazing, MacOS client on MacBook pro and Google pixel 6 pro over wifi 6, perfect feels like it's on the same machine. Before I go through all the effort of setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience on the quality of the stream

Is there an easy way to stream full bluray disc rips with menus and features over the network to my TV

Most of my collection is just the movie rips of just the video that play fine in Plex or Jellyfin. I've got a couple of full disc rips though that have the menus and features and all just like you would if you put the disc in. I can open these in VLC on my computer by choosing the folder. My living room setup is an Apple TV as the primary streaming device but I also have an Nvidia Shield pro and Google TV Chromecast. Is there any way to stream these over the network into some kind of app on any of these devices? **EDIT** After some looking around Kodi *might* be able to do what I want. Going to investigate further. **EDIT 2** The Kodi repo with the required addon (HEVC kodi bluray addon) seems to be down, maybe permanently :/ Still looking for a solution

I'm at a roulette table. I only bet on red. When I lose I triple my bet, when I win I restart. Is this a roulette strategy?

Ok so here's the rules - I just bet on red every time - I start with 1 dollar - every time I lose, I triple my previous bet - every time I win I restart I'm going to simulate 10 games - Game 1 - Bet $1 Lose - Game 2 - Bet $3 Lose - Game 3 - Bet $9 Win $18 - Game 4 - Bet $1 Lose - Game 5 - Bet $3 Lose - Game 6 - Bet $9 Win $18 - Game 7 - Bet $1 Lose - Game 8 - Bet $3 Lose - Game 9 - Bet $9 Lose - Game 10 - Bet $18 Win $36 In this simulation I'm losing at a rate of 70%. In reality the lose rate is closer to 52%. I put in $54 but I'm walking away with $72, basically leaving the building with $18. Another example. Let's pretend I walk in with $100,000 to bet with. I lose my first 10 games and win the 11th. - 1 lose - 3 lose - 9 lose - 27 lose - 81 lose - 243 lose - 729 lose - 2187 lose - 6561 lose - 19683 lose - 59049 win $118098 $88573 spent out of pocket, $118098 won Walk out with roughly $29525. I get most casinos won't let you be that high but it's a pretty extreme example anyway, the likelyhood of losing 10/11 games on 48% odds is really unlikely. So help me out here, what am I missing?

LPT: If you're ever in a conversation circle at a social function, keep an eye out for people trying to get in and get them up to speed

This feels like a common courtesy I don't see enough, particularly the second point. In a conversation circle, always try to keep your side vision open to people trying to find their way in. It can be awkward to try and find your own way in so giving them a spot tells them they're included then drop a quick brief on the conversation "We're talking about pineapples on pizza, good or bad" gives them context to jump in immediately.

Game recommendations: Passive / Turn Based + Portrait Orientation + No IAP (or at least minimally invasive)

I'm looking for some game recommendations. I feel like a ton of these games exist but they're riddled with IAP. I don't mind paying a little to buy the game. I have the play pass but so many of these games are active involvement and landscape orientation. I like to have an extra hand free and landscape requires both hands on. But really want passive engagement. Like as soon as I stop playing the game is waiting for me. Example games: Polytopia Magnet Balls Free Cell Threes Card Thief Knights of Pen and Paper Games like Slay the Spire (but portrait). Although I've never really found a Slay the Spire-like that didn't feel like a watered down version of STS
