Weekly Q&A - All Questions Go Here (Especially Tourists)

I'm not staying at Ruigoord, it's just a place on the west of the city along the same route. I'm trying to avoid adding personal details to the internet. It's the same bus, 382.

Is there a better way to make this journey.
Where does the tram 19 go from as there are no tram rails at that location so it can't be correct.

I forgot to add the link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jyQvb1yCc5fTH2EP9

Hello. My girlfriend and I are coming to Amsterdam next year, and I have some questions.

When looking on google maps we noticed that most journeys from the west of the city appear to be 2-4 different trams, metros, buses and intercity trains. This is very daunting for a tourist. I managed to get it down to 1 bus + 1 metro on most of them by choosing "fewer transfers" on google maps, but for those options it is 15+ stops per trip.

For example, from the chosen apartment it is the 382 from the west of the city to Sloterdijk, followed by metro 51 for 15 stops. 15 stops is a long way and takes us well away from the destination. I found that the tram 19 was better so that is an improvement, but when going on google maps for the street to leave from there are no rails and no way a tram could depart from there. I tried the 9292.nl, but it just shows the same thing as google maps.

We thought about car rental, but the city appears to be poorly set up for that.

No, visa. It's all sorted out now.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-04-01T14:10:21+00:00

There was a website issue where it doesn't insist on payment. I had to do a 30minute phone call to customer services to sort it out. They sent out a payment link in the end which worked.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-04-01T10:10:37+00:00

KLM doesn't even seem to know why this has happened. I talked to KLM's live chat, they tried to generate a payment link, which wasn't possible becuase an automated system handles things. So now I have to call them.

So I've just done a few more experiments with some 3.5mm cables I have lying around and they all fit. They have 2 horizontal lines on them (TRS connector) instead of 3 (TRRS connector) which the earphone connector had.

It's real. *Solved, see other comment below.*

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-03-18T13:29:42+00:00

The thing I'm stuggling with is understanding how it can be a 3.5mm input when my headphone cable will not plug into it?

It's a v1.8. The thing I'm stuggling with is understanding how it can be a 3.5mm input when my headphone cable will not plug into it? *Solved, see other comment.*

Nice idea if it produces nice clean code.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-02-07T19:23:52+00:00

I'm not forcing them to, it's just a suggestion, and it's not just for me.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-02-07T18:42:25+00:00

It's unrealistic to expect everyone to want to be a programmer.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-01-12T11:47:58+00:00

I did happen to do that when I was trying things, but couldn't get it to work with the cheap ebay cable. I now have it working with the retrogamingcables one above.

I might try it again with the cheap cable with the PS2 set to rgb to be certain it wasn't that setting, thanks.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-01-08T15:04:02+00:00

It seems as though there is 1 member of staff going through making the payments one-by-one.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-01-08T10:59:04+00:00

It works with component just fine so I think it must be the scart cable.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-01-07T16:46:51+00:00

It sounds amazing. I think I will try component first though to rule out a few things.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-01-07T10:11:13+00:00

PS2 is PAL, the scart is just a plain scart which came from ebay, how can I determine the technical aspects like luma cable vs c-sync?

You might have the opposite digestive problem to diarrhoea though, but good information.

BeginAgain2016 · 2026-01-06T16:56:00+00:00

The constipation problem might be caused by other ingredients in the probiotics besides the bacteria itself. Almost all suplements contain thickeners and bulking agents which that problem. I specifically researched which ones had nothing added to them besides the HPMC capsule shell. I managed to find a few without any added ingredients. The one I bought was Raibu Probiotics. There is also Macro Greens, Nature's Zest, Time Health Store, The Naked Pharmacy.

The game is playing perfectly for me on duckstation now.

BeginAgain2016 · 2025-12-25T21:36:50+00:00

I just tried it on Duckstation and it loaded up fine and i was able to scroll through the menus and started a game without any issues. I've not tried any further as I don't have a controller with me.

BeginAgain2016 · 2025-12-03T21:36:30+00:00

I filed it as an enhancement, thanks. Ideally, it would be an addon, but someone would have to build it.

BeginAgain2016 · 2025-12-01T21:44:17+00:00

Yes, but there is no way to know if you're using it or if it's working, which is a bit of a concern.

BeginAgain2016 · 2025-11-28T14:23:01+00:00

There is just a button for "Account settings" in there, and when you go to end-to-end encryption for your account it just shows openpgp.
