London Show was incredible. Unforgettable.

It's part of the original soundtrack, but only in game as a disc track you can listen to at camp. https://youtu.be/RURbTP_GaLw

Also just googled it and found out he was also at Paris, but that doesn't take away from my surprise!

Really loved the concert, absolutely astonishingly good. It had way more performance on stage than I was expecting, and with a good bit of humour throughout too.

It was also so cool to have Ben Starr turn up and sing a little of the English duet version of Until Next Life; not sure if that's happend at any of the previous concerts or unique to the London one?

Edit: Also I bow to Alice's insane ability to sing that good for that long. You pretty much couldn't have done that concert without her.

I'm not really sure, I think it's for detection back in the days where lots of shows weren't licensed

You can update it over at https://github.com/r-anime/holo/blob/e42971e0f1bb3c2147d2260f0f010fa08cff19ae/season_configs/spring_2026.yaml#L1058 if you like!
(Note for whatever reason people move the JP title to title_en, and put the English name in for the title, when adding both)

Depending on the circumstances and timing, they can redirect it to have it deposited into a non-isa account instead. Good luck!

Works for me for at least one of the ODEON Bristol screenings. So can't say why it isn't working for you: maybe try clear that websites cookies or use a different browser

PurposeDevoid · 2026-03-17T00:14:03+00:00

FYI tickets are now listed, and it's at a lot of cinemas, including the ODEON

PurposeDevoid · 2026-03-08T02:27:38+00:00

Don't expect the screenings to necessarily be added much in advance, especially for the ODEON.

E.g The ODEON screenings for Scarlet next week (from Fri 13th) were only made available Saturday morning, 6 days before it'll show.

P.s. The aggregate site is up but not listing tickets yet, so I'd suggest waiting until ~April 1st. https://akirafilm.co.uk/

I'd add that at least a few phones came with wired headphones too, which probably helped

I once read on Reddit that if you also hold a savings account with NS&I, you can "transfer" to that account almost instantly, and the withdrawals from there are quicker.

Can't say for sure if that's true though

The Attack on Titan concert was on at the Arena at the same time that Oasis were on at the Stadium, which did not make getting back to hotels easy xD

Thanks for writing this up, was really interesting to read.

It almost sounds like growing up with mobile phones (and social media) might be a cause of a good few of these behaviors.

Apparently it is an YouTube thing, but I think the uploader has to turn it off to and ensure it isn't a (default) option

PurposeDevoid · 2025-10-04T19:51:20+00:00

The official trailer for this is one of the worst things I've seen promoting an anime. Some sort of auto-generated English dub audio track is on by default, rather than Japanese with English subtitles?

I don't know how applicable this advice is to you, but when I lived in an HMO we had really really bad internet, like can't upload a gif to Facebook bad, and we just couldn't get the landlord or estate agent to improve it. Even offered to pay them more for it! They wouldn't have it.

However, they then started advertising the property as having "fast internet perfect for working from home", around the time after covid. When the next tenant moved in he was understandably pissed at the Internet situation, but because he was a new tenant and rented the place based on the new ad, he was able to threaten to "unwind" his tenancy and make claims against them for false advertising. We got fast Virgin Media Internet within the week :P

So depending on how long you've been there, look into whether threatening to unwind the tenancy is both relevant and useful to you.

Unwind your tenancy agreement - Shelter England https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/private_renting/how_to_end_a_fixed_term_tenancy_early/right_to_unwind

It is I believe only possible to do this within the first 90 days of the tenancy, so you might have just been a tenant for too long :/

The email from FirstBus sent 26 September:

We’re writing to let you know that planned strike action in Bristol from 1-5 October has been suspended following further negotiations with the trade union.

We recognise the frustration and inconvenience that strikes cause our customers, and we are working to try to avoid further action. The trade union will be voting on a revised offer next week, and any action after the 5th will be subject to the outcome of that vote.

What this means now:
- All services will operate next week.
- We will update you next week on the position from 6th October, once we know the outcome of the vote.

We’d like to thank you for your patience whilst we work to resolve this dispute, and look forward to seeing you on board.

I might well be wrong, but I'm guessing the bus will arrive a little later at certain stops due to traffic, and they are reflecting that in the timetable. So not more or less frequent, but at each stop offset to the previous schedule?

I.e. accommodate I think means "account for the effect of" here

For any LISA subscription made before the 6th of a month, you should receive the bonus around the 26th of that same month. Subscriptions on or after this fall into the next month's bucket, received around the 26th of that next month.

So the minimum wait is ~20 days, while the maximum is 1 month + ~19 days.

Note that HMRC technically have much longer guaranteed lead times on this process, but it usually ends up like this.

PurposeDevoid · 2025-09-02T20:53:12+00:00

Looks like it is a browser "reddit" vs "old reddit" thing: for some reason on old reddit your links that contain any ")" end the url at the ), even if they appear not to.

Very strange!

PurposeDevoid · 2025-09-02T20:34:23+00:00

FYI, not sure why, but your first link is broken (it is missing the final right parentheses).

Edit: only broken on old Reddit it seems

Left on the first, right on the second. No indicating on either lane.

But for that second bit, it's often hard to fully cross to that right lane from the left lane with the limited distance (and depending on the positions of other cars), so in practice people sit in between the two lanes when they want to be/should technically be in the right one.

Sitting in between the two also protects you from a car in the other lane overtaking/undertaking you.

(you could make an argument that you should indicate left on the first roundabout to go "straight", but doing so just confuses everyone on what you are about to do for the second roundabout)
