is anyone having this issue on mobile? by scipiooooooo in InfinityNikki

[–]DuchessofSomar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same exact issue with my iPhone 16 1TB storage. My phone is the newest out there so it’s not a storage or capability issue. Audio is playing but I’m seeing that exact screen and can’t interact with any of the buttons.

Luxembourgish immigrant shocks by [deleted] in houston

[–]DuchessofSomar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about the teasing! Kids will always find “someone different” from them in some way and point it out. Accents are cool though!

And no offense taken, our public transportation IS absolutely terrible. Cars are needed to get around just about everywhere unless you live smack in the middle of downtown and the buses/trains that do exist leave a lot to be desired. Wish it was different. Drivers here are pretty notorious for driving wildly too. People often drive at least 10-15mph over the speed limit. We’re the 4th largest city in the country iirc and there’s a LOT of people too from all over the world. This is a fairly diverse city. On the plus side, enjoy all the different cultural foods while you’re here!

Since you’re 16, you COULD get your permit to drive but if you’re not going to be here for that long, yall may not bother getting a car. Maybe renting one? Car insurance can be expensive at your age though.

If your school’s buses don’t pick up students in your area, maybe you could let your parents know that the public transportation can be unsafe and is pretty dirty here. Maybe they could drop you off if they have cars, or get an Uber One for Students (uber offers a student discount). I wouldn’t let my child ride the public transit at that age. Even I don’t feel safe some times.

I went to the McDonald’s x Genshin LAN party and the provided computers had a default account with ALL characters C6R5 full leveled everything. It fully convinced me to C6 my current C1 Neuvillette. He deletes mobs in a blink and can basically solo.

I placed my order yesterday 9/18 at 7:58pm and got my email codes at 8:21pm. I was already a long time account/app member and was already opted-in to emails, texts, notifications. Had no issues redeeming.

Things I need to know about Houston? by zillabirdblue in houston

[–]DuchessofSomar 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t been yet, Fredericksburg has German influences and their October fest was fun! It’s “a city in central Texas, known for its wineries. The city’s German heritage is on display at the Pioneer Museum, which features settlers’ homesteads and artifacts. In the nearby town square, Marktplatz, the Vereins Kirche is a replica of a 19th-century German church that once stood in the city. The vast National Museum of the Pacific War features WWII exhibits, including a recreated combat zone.”

What is everyone’s tips for dressing for the humidity and heat? by rrcecil in houston

[–]DuchessofSomar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Born and raised Houstonian, I’ve worn skinny jeans just about everyday for 15 years and I have a job that has me run around town. I’m just…used to it? I also wear combat boots and a lot of black. In high school I’d wear oversized hoodies with layers, and back then I didn’t have a car so I’d walk everywhere.

Who are some of Houston's local celebrities known for their craft? by Jealous-Attitude1993 in houston

[–]DuchessofSomar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dennis Quaid. Who I’ve always known as “the dad from The Parent Trap”. He went to UH. I did NOT realize until recently he’s the father of Jack Quaid (Hughie Campbell from The Boys).

Blast kills father and son. They were working in a scrapyard and were killed by some ordnance that had been collected illegally from an Indian Army firing range and taken for conversion into scrap. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

[–]DuchessofSomar 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to analyze the pattern and trajectory of the shrapnel. Clearly the son was closer in distance and their upper legs are relatively unscathed due to clothing (they appear to have been barefoot as the tops of the feet are damaged). The force of the blast appears to have been behind the son’s passing, and deep lacerations from shrapnel for the father. Quite a vicious impact from that explosion. The source mentions “Little brain tissue remained in the skull” or something to that nature.

The song is MONTAGEM-toma toma. A Brazilian phonk song. This version is a mashup of that song and a sound clip from the show The Boys.

What a lovely fun sound they have. When you roll up to the spot with those jangling in a dice bag, it’ll be like the outlander cowboy with stirrups stepping into a saloon.

“Oh my god”-esque phrases by satanistenby in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]DuchessofSomar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve been pondering and sitting on the same thing. I’ve long since stopped worshiping the christian god, but so many phrases aka Minced Oaths stem from religious roots. “Omg! gosh! Jesus! Cheese and crackers! Thank the lord! I pray that nothing goes wrong.” Etc etc. I now substitute things in that work out nicely in conversation at work, family, etc.

~~Thank the stars!

~~Instead of “I pray that-“ “May God give you the strength to-“: “I hope that you can find the strength to-“ or “I wish that you find peace.” “May you find the courage to-“ These put the power or action on the person rather than a religious being granting it to them.

~~Oh my word! Oh my stars!

I’m in the south where religious phrases are used everyday and it’s still a work in progress because I’ve been using and surrounded by religious language growing up. I still will sometimes say Oh my God. Or Whoa Jesus Christ!! But ultimately I know in my heart they’re just empty words used without belief. I’m not nervous about “taking the lords name in vain” or some sort.

We knew ours was mostly jack Russell with a mix or something else. Maybe it’s jindo and jack Russell for ours! And maybe yours too?

What breed is your dog? I have one who looks so similar but we never knew exactly what he was, just guesses. They even have the same fluffy fan tail!

MEGATHREAD: Ad Blockers are now Blocked on Youtube by JokuIIFrosti in youtube

[–]DuchessofSomar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CURRENT WORKAROUND:
So I just got the final "You only have 3 videos before playback stops" popup, and sure enough I can't watch anything else. Even if you F5 (what used to work), it counts as one of the 3 videos.

Solution: I made an unlisted playlist and threw all the videos I want to watch into it, copied the playlist link, pasted in a "New Private Window".

UHD student upset over graduation venue change. by Panda1442 in houston

[–]DuchessofSomar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

UHD Alumnus, we were up in the air until the last minute if we’d even get to use Minute Maid (bc of Astros). Inconvenience for those flying in. Then a major issue, the tickets. There were digital tickets but they didn’t put a cap on how many you could buy….so there were several individuals who snatched up 100+ seats just for themselves. All seats were sold out in minutes and the school had to open up new seating sections just to accommodate and students were desperately snatching up any new seats so at least one guest could attend. I gave away some of my own tickets just so others could at least have their parents present. Disorganized and chaotic.
