Looks cool, but it's "not available for [my phone] because it was made for an older version of Android."

  Off topic rant but meanwhile I have windows programs from the 90's still running fine on my machine. It baffles me how anti-consumer modern phones are.

    Further offtopic, but I have Windows programs from the 90s running fine on my machine, but only because they're running on Wine on my Linux box. Windows itself can no longer run them, even in compatibility mode.

  Offtopic, but this is a new Google Play policy. The app would have worked if Google allowed you to install it.

  Same here, and I have a nearly 3 year old Pixel 5.

If you are in NYC and want to try a quiet bar I recommend The Burp Castle on East 7th in the East Village. There is a sign that says "no loud talking allowed, whispering only". And people will actually shush you if you talk to loud. Amazing rotating collection of fine beers too. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b4/5d/3a/b45d3a9ec730d587587a70d83f99b4a2.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b4/5d/3a/b45d3a9ec730d587587a... https://nymag.com/listings/bar/burp-castle/ https://nymag.com/listings/bar/burp-castle/

I want to find bars and restaurants that do not have a television. This is effing hard.

  Tons of restaurants without a television, that part is easy. Go to a smaller place, done. Now a pub without a TV is much more difficult.

    If that is true where you live, you are lucky. All across the US, this is not true - and while there used to be a caliber of restaurant that would not have a sports game on a tv, that has changed significantly.
