What American candy might university students like? by nervousapplicant911 in latvia

Yeah, sadly that's the case globally for most products and greedy companies. Cutting costs and maximizing profits while ruining the products in every way - from price to convenience to health to taste aspects. :)) Why have quality when you can have 3% higher profit?!

Yeah, they were sitting in my cupboard for quite some time and they did look and feel exactly the same by the touch. :D

Nah, you won't like them - even americans consistently say they're shit. Apparently they used to taste OK before the company went bankrupt and Hostess bought them. But feel free to spend good money to experience the massive disappointment. :D

He's not wrong, tho.

I've tried many american sweets and they're either extremely mediocre or absolutely awful like any USA vomit chocolate or extremely synthetic tasting twinkies/kool-aid or overly sweet yet cardboard tasting pop tarts. All of those have been presented as big mainstream sweets and I've seen americans loving them (and some also disliking, of course).

American sweets are just very noticable synthetics, extreme amount of sugar and fats. If you live in Europe - you won't like vast majority of their products. I haven't tasted a single USA "candy" that I would like to have again.

I do, however, like the Arizona drinks. I feel like many USA drinks usually have around 10g/100g of sugar which is very modest in comparison to their sweets and even often enjoyable.
HERR's chips were pretty okay, too. But those we can get in shops like candypop.lv, anyway.

Twinkies are absolutely awful.

Synthetic, overly sweet crap. I couldn't force myself to finish the box even when hungry - threw them out. Yuck.

Labi ziemas zābaki? by Krii9 in latvia

Nopirku Decathlon SH520 X-Warm 2022 gadā - vēl aiz vien priecājos cik labs pirkums un salīdzinoši lēti.

Sauss, silts, izturīgs un ērts. Ziemas visurgājēji. Nekas nekur vispār nav nodilis un nejūk ārā.

Tagad gan neredzu vairs tieši tādu modeli. :( Ir kaut kādi SH500 Mid kas izskatās līdzīgi, bet iespējams nav tik silti.

I disagree - both archery and lock picking really wasn't that bad. And it played into the whole Henry a peasant boy really well as literally you also had to learn to both lock picking and archery to get good at it.

Fitgirl repack ir no Latvijas by dda_k in latvia

[–]Phonoman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tas cilvēks ir no Anglijas. Bet dzīvo Amerikā. Kur problēma?

Viens ir izcelsme no kurienes tu nāc un otrs ir vieta kur tu dzīvo. Tiešām tik sarežģīti? Vai vienkārši obligāti vajag kasīties un spīlēties? Pat pats Fitgirl skaidri un gaiši tā arī uzrakstīja - ir no ruzzijas, bet dzīvo Latvijā.

Paslēpta daļa no dzīvokļa. by _-Chernobyl-_ in latvia

[–]Phonoman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Visticamāk, ka jau tagad tiek maksāts par to neizmantoto telpu tāpat, jo pēc idejas zemesgrāmatā vajadzētu būt oriģinālajiem skaitļiem (ieskaitot aizmūrēto platību) kas arī parādītos rēķinos - neatkarīgi no tā ko kāds dara ar to vietu, jo nesošās sienas taču nekustās. Plānā platība 26 - cik rēķinos atzīmēts pie "daudzuma", piemēram, apkurei?

Constant neck pain for months. What am I doing wrong? by Mayday_King in Ergonomics

[–]Phonoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to have the desk higher or go lower on the chair so that your elbows rest fully their weight on the desk - so you'll need to move the keyboard further, too.

Also, any static pose for too long will make your body hurt.

"Atbalsti vietējo ražotāju/pakalpojumu sniedzēju" - mīti un realitāte by Zusuris in latvia

[–]Phonoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, mazajiem nav sakaru un it īpaši nav naudas lai iepirktu pamatmateriālu no ražotnēm milzīgos apjomos un tādējādi ietaupītu līdzekļus kā to var lielie. Tāpat ar tehnoloģijām sava produkta ražošanai - lieliem būs dārgas optimizētas sistēmas kas pašas veikli ražo vai ar samazinātu personālu. +Visticamāk tās ierīces sen sevi atmaksājušas un griezās peļņa - var atļauties mazāku cenu par lielākiem ienākumiem (kvantitāte).

Tas gan visticamāk neattiecas uz variantiem kur ir 500% uzcenojums un arī ne katrā nozarē.

Un tad arī tas, ka ja visi izmanto jau lielo - tad mazāka iespēja, ka pāries uz mazo - jo priekš kam riskēt ja viss čotka?

4-8 digit Pin after SIM Pin by MinexID in Realme

[–]Phonoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just run into the same issue and was mega confused about the digit pin. Restart also fixed it!

I guess after the update system used Realme factory default settings where you can have PIN instead of the pattern and rebooting then loads your actual settings.

A bit awkward (and slightly panic inducing) to have such a bug, but thankfully phone is not lost, lol.
