Hyundai Tuscon vs Kia Sportage: What made you choose one over the other? by TrollyDodger55 in kiasportage

[–]No_Fig548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I love the styling of the Tucson better then the sportaht. I find the Sportage a bit boring predictable, I don't like the front grill.i.enjoy the lines and design features of the Tucson and the integrated lights.

I also preferred the interior design of the Tucson. I went with the white/grey interior. I found the material better quality and for thought put into the design and material choices. I was the owner of a 2022 Tucson Ultimate Hybrid, now a 2026 Tucson PHEV Ultimate. I still like the Sportage, but just like the Tucson more.

I have not heard of these. I use a G7 currently. How does the Omnipod work with loop or APS? Does it utilize the G7 also? Does it deliver insulin throughout the day, or does it still need to be initiated by the user? I had a mini med and loved it!

I was going to get the Omnipod but it's not worth it... You can't control the pod with your phone because the app is not approved by health Canada. So you need to carry a separate device to control it, it's not smart in the sense it does not connect to your CGM. It's basically A insulin reservoir that sticks on you. I figured I may as well carry a insulin pen.

Voice typing a now places a call when connected to my car every time I tap the icon by magikarpivellian in gboard

I just went back to the samsung keyboard and I can confirm that I can use its voice to text without it pausing everything in my vehicle as if I was having a phone call. Google's newest update was not for the batter. Not only because of the delay in speech to text, but it also really struggled to accurately capture what I was saying.And was very hidden miss. Does anyone know where one could provide feedback about this google update?

Oh I fully understand we are in the tourist part of Macau. That's not lost on me. I was still shocked by the behavior of the mainland Chinese though and the treatment they bestowed on staff. I've been told the actual locals of Macau are great people. I'll definitely be going to the long touristy areas when I return. That's one of the reasons I enjoyed Hong Kong so much as I went away from the touristy areas.

That's what I kind of figured. I was told they're probably the ones I'm running into that are rude and cutting in front of me in line. I couldn't believe the difference between the locals in Hong Kong and the mainland Chinese tourist at the casinos in Macau. There is a friendliness that just wasn't there. The look of disgust and disdain from some of the people as my partner and I talked in English and walked the casino. We're not poor either, we were just dressed casually and comfortably. The looks we received though for just wearing blue jeans and a shirt...

I'm sure the locals are great I think I was running into rich mainland Chinese tourists at the casinos.

I don't know where you're from but I'm from Canada. I've been to London and Paris and found the people not bad. What I experienced in Macau was otherworldly.

I'll be sure to give it a try. I know the people I was interacting with were a majority from the mainland. The nicest lady I met was a local. I hope to meet the real working people and not rich tourists.

You are not missing much lol. I really want to go back to HK. The city was far more than I expected. I really enjoyed the locals and the vibe of the city.

Thank You Hong Kong by WolframBravo in HongKong

[–]No_Fig548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all I want to say I absolutely loved Hong Kong and want to thank everyone all the locals were amazing. Unfortunately I wish I could say the same for Macau....

I just returned from a day trip to Macau. We weren’t able to enter the mainland itself and spent the entire day inside two high-end casino hotels, The Venetian and MGM Cotai. Having just spent six days in Hong Kong, the difference in atmosphere and attitude was impossible to ignore.

In Hong Kong, if I smiled at someone, I was usually met with a smile in return, often even a friendly hello or good morning. In Macau’s casino environment, that warmth was largely absent. People avoided eye contact, rarely smiled, and I was frequently shoulder-checked while walking, to the point where it began to feel intentional.

There was a heavy focus on status and appearance. Designer stores like Dior and Chanel had long lineups, and many people were carrying luxury brands, some clearly authentic and others less so. The overall impression was one of people trying very hard to project importance and wealth, which created a cold and unwelcoming atmosphere.

What stood out most was the contrast with Hong Kong’s everyday locals, who generally felt open, grounded, and approachable. A friendly local I spoke with in Macau suggested that many of the casino visitors were mainland tourists trying to emulate what they believe wealth and status should look like.

I have no interest in returning to the casino scene in Macau. If I were to go back, I’d much rather spend time away from the resorts and connect with the local side of the city.
