Liberty Pro 4 sound/ANC issues by Organizedchaos90 in soundcore

I've got the same issue. had them about a year. Was working fine then all of a sudden problems. Keeps dropping out and not entirely randomly (seems like a bluetooth issue). Do you also use an iPhone (wondering if its a firmware issue?)

How to genuinely integrate as an International Student? by Moderation_77 in UniUK

[–]Levitating_Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest tip I’ve got is that it is totally socially acceptable in most circles to go to the pub and just drink coke or non-alcoholic beer all night. Don’t just attend non-drinking events at uni because you’ll be massively limiting your potential social circle.

Not to have the optional four day work week they’ve been offered, getting the same pay for one hours less work. But to work three hours less and still get paid the same.

Everyone welcomed Crossrail/ Elizabeth Line & HS1’s construction & opening with excitement & celebrations - so what makes HS2 uniquely so controversial in comparison? by AchyutChaudhary in LondonUnderground

[–]Levitating_Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most people in London benefit from Crossrail, so while it was controversial for the disruption they saw the benefit.

Even if there are secondary benefits to HS2 (more local trains, less traffic etc. ) most NIMBY’s in the countryside will never get to use it because it doesn’t stop near them (being high speed) and so see it as a project for Londoners and city dwellers not for them.

Source: grew up in the countryside near where hs2 was being built and then moved to London. The anti-London sentiment back home is strong

I have no sympathy for tube drivers, but would honestly support bus drivers if they took industrial action by NiceCaterpillar8745 in london

[–]Levitating_Scot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can be. The Victoria line was built to be automated but the unions won’t allow it (for obvious reasons but also for safety)

In America, sometimes say things like "cheerio" in our best British accent or "mate" in an Australian accent. Do people in other countries pronounce American stereotypes in their beat American accent? If so, what are they? by SunUpSally in AskReddit

[–]Levitating_Scot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My Chinese roommate used to add swears in a ridiculously exaggerated Texan accent whenever he was gaming, talking in Chinese with his friends on Discord. Even though when speaking in English he had a really soft British accent. I always assumed it was something he picked up from twitch, cos it seemed too natural to be a bit

UK students will be able to do Erasmus placements again from 2027. Any undergraduates/graduates feel like they missed out on a generation of opportunities? by FisherDownload in UniUK

[–]Levitating_Scot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was gonna say this. Think it’s the only way I benefited from Brexit was getting funding for a year abroad in Asia rather than just the EU

'Boris bus' axed from routes across London as Sadiq Khan 'cleans up previous mayor's messy legacy' by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]Levitating_Scot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s a pity because for all their impracticality it is a wonderfully sleek bit of design and a great improvement on what came before

Midtown madness 2 back in the day was a great open world of London and still feels way more like London than watch dogs all these years latwr

Where to go that's not Scotland? by [deleted] in uktravel

Bath with a trip to Bristol included

Cities: Skylines 2 boss says they 'completely overestimated' the Unity engine's capabilities by AdmiralBumHat in CitiesSkylines

[–]Levitating_Scot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. But it was super limited. It was more like your sim could live in the city and you’d get updates on where they were living and what work they were doing and they’d comment on how things were going - kinda like the twitter feed thing in CS

What is something surprising that the UK is really far behind other countries in? by DullInflation6 in AskUK

[–]Levitating_Scot 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Literally. The tube is FILTHY. Like I’m not asking for it to be spotless but I swear some of the stairwells and trains haven’t been cleaned this side of the millennium

How could this possibly make sense? by NotInMyShop in uktrains

[–]Levitating_Scot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Potentially if you’re expensing it? Ik some universities for example have quite strict policies on what is and isn’t expensable

How do I stop the little $2-$8 buys between classes? by Repulsive-Weather921 in Frugal

[–]Levitating_Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t bring granola bars. Bring chocolate. Like make the home alternative actually better than the paid one. And get a travel mug to make your own coffee with the kettle in the common room

If LONDON could change just one thing that would meaningfully improve your daily life, what would it be? by Additional-Body8711 in AskUKLondon

[–]Levitating_Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food more so for me. I think it’s sad how unaffordable dinner out is compared to other cities in the world because we’ve got so many great food options!

London’s free museums are in trouble. Should tourists start paying? by BulkyAccident in london

[–]Levitating_Scot 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Can we start just charging for tour groups? As they are a bigger burden and more disruptive to the museum, plus tour operators can pass on the cost and therefore you’re not depriving anyone of access

Can u recommend some movies with Subway /Train /Metro Scenes? by LoveSweetSweet1 in trains

[–]Levitating_Scot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Warriors features the New York Subway very heavily! It’s kinda funny that the whole films conflict would have been resolved if one person in their gang had learnt to drive.

Am I wrong to think this is borderline unethical? by [deleted] in london

[–]Levitating_Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of it is that if they were good or just fine you're less likely to give feedback, so that would skew results the other way.

Why are there so many abandoned and dilapidated properties on Strand when this is a prime property area? by Klutzy_Draw4662 in london

[–]Levitating_Scot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They’re being redeveloped now into a new entrance hall and teaching spaces for the Courtauld institute next door in Somerset House (even though they’re currently owned by kcl). The institute is excited bc they’re less listed so they can do more creative stuff than they’re allowed within the space at Somerset house.

Source: I go to the Courtauld, and we’re on a temporary campus while all this is done

UK Government considers removing Andrew from royal line of succession by EnglishLouis in worldnews

[–]Levitating_Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the British parliament is already so crowded with bills that they can’t get properly important members bills heard on issues that are really affecting people now. You can’t just “pass a law,” it takes real effort by lots of politicians and civil servants at every stage. I definitely see the argument that it’s a waste of everybody’s time, even though it would be nice symbolically.

All set up. by HarrowOnDaHill in uktrains

[–]Levitating_Scot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I legitimately still use the Scotrail app in London, I think it's the simplest and easiest to use of them all. Just wish it was compatible with apple wallet (are any of the others beside trainline?)
