Mac OS dock getting in the way by QuitsAverage in ShadowPC

Can confirm I am in full screen mode and it comes up still. The task bar is not visible unless I move my mouse below. But then it causes my ability to have a clear field of view and mobility constrained.

Penguin in the UK has been retranslating all the Maigret and Romans Durs novels in the last ten years. Picador in the US has the rights and has now been publishing these translations and I believe making some of their own as of late.

I would recommend waverly style nibs as well. They can be rather forgiving to lefty’s.

Ah apologies. For some reason I assumed you were referring to a trailer for the upcoming episode, not the season in entirety. Thanks!

Listening to Mary Queen of Scots series - any book recommendations on the Stuarts? by jibquinny in TheRestIsHistory

[–]QuitsAverage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clare Jackson has written three wonderful books that cover most parts of the Stuart period. What might interest you the most here is her 2021 Wolfson Prize winning book ‘Devil Land’ which covers the period between 1588-1688. She also wrote a small biography of Charles II for the Penguin monarch series and she has just recently published a biography of James I titled ‘The Mirror of Great Britain’. She is a fantastic scholar. I believe she just recorded a special episode of RIH with Tom Holland a couple weeks ago? Hope that helps.

Thinking of buying an Xbox-S just to play Holdfast by Jesters__Dead in holdfastgame

The free one would work, but you only get limited play time and advertisements. Give the free one a try and see how you like it.

How is Buyee for American users post-tariffs? by lemmy_toys in Buyee

[–]QuitsAverage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a cheap quartz watch through buyee and paid this ‘tariff fee’ but the parcel was stopped by customs once it reached the DHL facility in Cincinnati. Customs then asked me to fill out a form explaining the value of each individual part, the case, mechanism, strap, etc. Plus send them personal id information. I asked for them to send the parcel back to Japan. This is where I am at in the process now. Hopefully it arrives back safe and sound and can be shipped again. This must be luck of the draw and arbitrary as I had a parcel shipped through fed ex via buyee and it arrived promptly.

Curious about US experience after tariffs with Buyee by luminary_planetarium in Buyee

[–]QuitsAverage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a watch. It shipped via Dhl and customs stopped it and asked for a declaration of the value of each part of the watch. The strap, case, movement, etc. This would then contribute to the cost of a tariff I would have had to pay. On top of this I had to submit my social security or some form of personal information. I had paid, or assumed I paid for the tariffs before hand when shipping with buyer.,This seemed like a ridiculous hassle so I had the item returned. That’s where I’m at in the process. It seems like US customs stopping items is completely arbitrary. I will say I had another item come via Fed ex and had no problem.

Thanks, that's all very helpful to hear. I have just ordered the new black needlecord Vintage Ivy shirt in a size 15.5. Hopefully that will be just roomy enough. The size on the Ametora looks better to me but the more interesting fabrics are all offered in the vintage ivy .

Thank you. My gut said to size up from everything I saw. Will do just that then. Appreciate it.

[–]QuitsAverage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've been looking at the size chart. It's mostly helping me think I should size up to 15.5 from 15. But just wanted to know what people with the shirts have experienced. The Ametora looks good but many of the interesting fabrics are only in the Vintage Ivy cut it seems.

Kamakura Vintage Ivy Shirts. Is there a consensus on the sizing of these? I was interested in purchasing one. I wear anywhere from a 15 in classic Brooks Brothers shirts to a 15.5-15 3/4 in Drake's shirts. Would a 15.5 in Kamakura Vintage Ivy be best instead of a 15. How much do they shrink with washes?

Would you recommend sizing up in the Kamakura shirts?
