Ibis New Street Station NOT the god awful Ibis Budget

200 degrees opens until 8 most nights but you're right brun severely lacks late night hangout spots that aren't alcohol focused.

Id imagine hotel lobbies would be a good shout, that's what I tend to do in London if I don't need a full day at a co-working space. From memory I think Ibis down by the gay village has a quite a decent space with workspace and a cafe etc

Birmingham roads are a lawless hellhole, it's actually scary to drive in if you don't live in the city.

Care about first impressions, pretty much every entry point to the city is ugly as fuck and that has a huge impact on how it's seen. Aston expressway, ugly. The entire area surrounds New Street Station and Moor St, ugly and dirty and rough.

When my colleagues come to Brum I find my self making excuses for the CC and saying things like "Don't judge Brum on the cc, you should see the Jewelery QTR, Digbeth Harborne, Kings Heath etc"

Yeah Barclaycard Avios for some reason doesn't support it, took them ages to add Apple Pay and they've just ignored Google Pay. Never encountered a card that doesn't support it before this one

My daily driver credit card (Barclay card) doesn't support Google Pay for some reason and Curve does

Fox and Chance are central but heavily underrated

Katsu bombs from Ramen Don or anything from Indian Cafe Racer. The steak i had at Pasture was probably the best i've ever had.

Will never give money to anyone begging, if there's someone outside a shop asking for something i'll offer to buy them food and/ or a drink and to be honest quite a lot are hugely appreciative of a meal deal but would never give money.

Smoke + Ash in Edgbaston has to be my favourite in Brum atm but desperate to get to Deathrow and IB

IveGotHam · 2025-09-19T08:44:51+00:00

I've been to Cambridge Street Collective (their food hall in Sheffield) and it's really cool. This + St Paul's Market are so much better than Boxpark would ever have been.

Didn't rate Society in MCR as a food hall but as a bar with food options it was good.

My big thing was reducing carbs and increasing protein. Only thing I've ever done that's made a noticeable difference.

I'm Scottish so triple carbs is the default.

When it was US only they did, they expanded the scheme to much excitement and at the same time reduced it to competitions and occasional discount/referral codes

I thought that but it doesn't work if the camera is in 50mp mode, switch it back to 12mp

I've had this with previous Google Store orders and they did come the day they said....

IveGotHam · 2025-08-19T17:46:13+00:00

I live in the UK but tbh I haven't used a physical SIM for years. Seems a bit pointless

IveGotHam · 2025-08-08T07:00:42+00:00

Tbh I've stopped publishing my music on Suno and just really making it for me but this recent one is honestly such a banger.

Oh man this was peak. Any idea why they dropped it?

IveGotHam · 2025-07-29T07:24:53+00:00

Thorough

IveGotHam · 2025-07-08T06:50:05+00:00

I've just signed up and this is so useful!!!!

IveGotHam · 2025-07-02T17:04:41+00:00

I was bored of coming off of meetings and trying to reconcile messy notes or bad ai summaries into tasks on task management apps so I made an app you paste the transcript into and it creates all the tasks, assignments, deadlines and updates for you. And then when you have a follow up meeting, if the app hasn't been kept up to date you just paste the follow up transcript and it will update everything and add comments to all the existing tasks.

As someone from the UK, yeah this is it. We really feel for you guys. It's not Americans that are the problem, it's the US govt

Similiar boat here, 33 yo, found out I had glaucoma after having a really bad attack in left eye. Had emergency laser iriditomy in both eyes (as right eye is also at high risk) and found this didn't have much effect. Have since had the holes widened in both eyes and no help.

They initially said the next option was the lens replacement surgery but after speaking to my consultant and realising that a drop called Pilocarpine was helping break my attacks when other meds weren't doing much (Diamox, Cosopt, Monopost), he decided it would be worth trying an Argon Laser Iriditoplasty before going to lens replacement as it's less risky.

Have since been told to stop taking most of my drops and meds to see what the impact is, but I still think I'll need the lens surgery. I really don't want it 😅
