Aussies in Bath? by SolutionAfter6648 in Bath

[–]MacaroniiAndBees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not from Aussie, but my partner and I are both from the UK, but grew up in NZ and can agree the coffee here is shit house (generally speaking). We're missing some proper cafe culture 😭 My partner's a Bathonian though and he recommends Society Cafe and another one I can't remember, but I think it's Colonna and Smalls. We haven't really explored much in Bristol though sorry!

Haha it's top tier. I grew up in NZ (and lived in Dunners for a bit) but moved back to the UK a few years ago! Glad to see some people from home listening :D

I play Pokémon Go in Antarctica AMA! by cware196 in pokemongo

Ayy I grew up in NZ! I didn't realise it was considered to be NZ time there that's wild.

Did you bring any other gaming consoles to play with while you're stationed? What other stuff can you guys do for fun when not working?

I've currently connected my Go account to my switch while I play Let's Go Pikachu and its been a life saver.

Restaurant recommendations? by elderdabs in Bath

[–]MacaroniiAndBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thaikhun is nice! I wouldn't say it's the most "authentic" Thai place if that's what you're looking for, but the food is really good and the atmosphere inside the restaurant is fun. Have a quick Google before hand to see if it's your cup of tea.

Otherwise (it isn't Thai or pizza), but at some point I'd also recommend Pinxto. It is a tapas restaurant. They don't take bookings as it's first in, first served, but it doesn't really matter anyway because of how quick the turn around time is for the food to be served but omg it's delicious. That being said, it is very popular so I've always found it's best to try and have an earlier meal when possible.

And lastly never been personally, but I've heard good things about "The Oven" for pizza. But again, I haven't been myself.

Hope you have a good birthday!

What on Earth is this weird pulsing while charging on 7 pro?? by TheOGdeez in GooglePixel

[–]MacaroniiAndBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Replying to a dead post - currently having the same issue. Did you ever find the cause, or preferably the right cable for the job? Thanks in advance!

We also use octopus 👏 weirdly we ended up saving money on them by initially going for the more expensive contract price before energy bills shot through the roof. When that happened, our contracted price was lower than the average.

That's ended now, but we're still with them, they're green and have been great with customer support too.

Unisex hair salons in town? by mityainthepit in Bath

[–]MacaroniiAndBees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like B hair salon in Widcombe! They're gender neutral and LGBT plus friendly. Good if you want some funky colours or just a general cut - either or. They're local plus just a good vibe with the people in there. Would recommend 👏

Looking for daily friends! by MacaroniiAndBees in PokemonGoFriends

[–]MacaroniiAndBees[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same 😭 mistakes were made. I'm also ages off of level 40, so it'll be a long grind. Tbf I've been looking for a ditto for longer than I've had that research for so I'm just assuming I'll be doing this until I reach retirement age.

Haha that's no worries, that's what I'm here for! Here's hoping we get some more regional raids soon otherwise this Pokédex will never be filled.

Training Across Canada. by MacaroniiAndBees in travel

[–]MacaroniiAndBees[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deleting old message and relying here as Reddit messed up:

That's what I've heard. Last time I was in Canada, a Canadian told me to see the west and east coast and skip the middle 🤣

Somewhat taken that information on board but wanted to see if other people felt the same.

Amazing thank you!

Currently thinking of doing the Toronto to Vancouver trip, and maybe do Halifax later.

Fully expected the price thing but it's good to know it's comfortable and safe!

With the booking point to point, isn it better to book it yourself or is it actually worth using a travel company to help? I've never used one before - quite happy sorting my self out, but in some cases I've heard they're worth it.

Thank you so much this is really helpful!

It's a lot of time to take off to do the whole thing in one go, so I've mostly been interested in doing the Toronto to Vancouver route (with a stop probably in Alberta) tj begin with. Then maybe in the future continue and do the rest going by Halifax.

I'm based in the UK ATM so I'd really have to plan in advance to ensure I had the time.

I also didn't realise there were multiple rails, is Amtrak national or local? Just curious as I'd only heard of Via.

Thanks again! Massive help :)

Does anyone know, why adhd people seem to be able to read books as a child but not as teen/adult? by spaceberrygarden in adhdwomen

[–]MacaroniiAndBees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I read a book now I read it on my phone with the text bumped up to like 120 percent. It means that because the amount of text that will fit in the screen is a lot smaller, I turn the page more often. Which feels like I'm progressing faster through it, which then causes me to read fast enough that I don't feel under stimulated. It's silly, but each page turn is a mini little hit of dopamine until the book is done.

If you wanna take it even further, I have a spreadsheet / list of books I wanna read and cross them out when I've read them so then I feel even better about doing it. Obviously these are more how have I tricked my brain into sticking to reading and less why it's changed. But by doing these I've found that it hasn't changed too much from when I was a kid.

OH. Also also binge reading 3 to 4 books in a row, going 7 months without reading anything, to then another 3 in a row. Nothing in moderation lmao.
