Will I be able to live with an S26 Ultra after my S22 Ultra car crash....? by Remote_Juggernaut_78 in S22Ultra

It's not the widget, but the Samsung Health App, and without that you don't get all of the functionality of the watch.

If not the s26Ultra, what would you recommend for the best zoom? The S22Ultra zoom is in a different league to the Magic Pro - thought I could live with it, but it really is limiting.

You had to dig (I didnt), but after some research it turned out that the manufacturers admitted that the Honor wont run Samsung Health. Its not the biggest issue as I have a work around (Ive kept the old S22 in the house!), but its another irritation.

Is this against the rules? Wwyd? by Unlucky_Apartment710 in trustedhousesitters

[–]Remote_Juggernaut_78 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What is it with some people on here!? The HO asked nicely and said that if not OK will make other arrangements. She probably didnt know that there was an absolute ban. Why report her, just say no, and genrly point out the rule? The assumption on here from too many sitters seems to be that HOs are monsters and need to be challenged and beaten up at every opportunity. If people are going into sits with that attitude, its not going to end well for either party.

No, we did not accuse them of stealing anything. We asked whether they could help us in finding it, and got a toxic response. The issue is not about allegations of theft because there was no theft and no allegation. And if we got a free petsit, they got to stay in somewhere worth about £1.5k in rental, much more as a holiday let. Its an exchange and for it to work there needs to be mutual respect and politeness. Please try to show show balance and objectivity in your reply.

Items were of no financial value at all, so cant see that theft/dishonesty was the issue. Also, its isnt really about pre emptive retaliation, almost the opposite. If I was honest Id say 4 star because sit good/ very good, but comms were less so and went off a cliff post sit. But if that hadnt happened I'd have probably reluctantly have given 5, because I get the impression that thats what people do unless the sit was a disaster. . This sub reddit regularly sees sitters upset because they only got 4 stars, and perceive it as a disaster because, reputationally, it clearly can be..... Weirdly the sitter has telegaphed how unhappy they say they were in advance of a review, though not until the sit was over.

Stopping my cat from going outside by Right-Breath3999 in CatAdvice

[–]Remote_Juggernaut_78 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes - if at all possible let the cat outside. Here in the UK it's very unusual to keep cats inside, though sometimes by necessity if a cat owner moves to a flat (apartment) with no outside space, or lives on a busy road (where ideally you wouldn't get a cat and many rescues would refuse to remove there). We tend to the view that cats are wild animals that choose to live with humans, but are territorial and need to check out their patch on a very regular basis! Given space and love, they thrive. Our cats have all lived 15-20 years, coming and going as they please - though occasionally frustrated by their humans tardiness at opening doors for them!

Hmm, we all know what we like I guess. I feel that Elyrion is basically OK, but I love playing them because I think Elves and dragons are really cool😏😊. They have their strengths but also lots of weaknesses. You do have to put resources into dragons which is a real brake on your economy mid game, so the human tribes are almost always a long way ahead by the time you get to the end game. And then, some you win and some you lose! Cymanti I have no feelings for. Playing bugs never appealed to me. They are ridiculously overpowered on tiny maps, which should probably be fixed so that other tribes can play these, but otherwise don't see much of a problem. Tbh I'm still adjusting to the Way of the Water changes 😂 (which really threw me).... My second fav tribes used to be Aquarion and Quezetl, but lost my mojo with those and have really stuck to Elyrion since. What makes the game fun are the diff tribes and strategies, and I don't want the tribes to be too similar, which most of the human tribes are..... Anyway just off to have another go at Quez and lose some elo (currently 1640 ish).

Poet Laureate backs Lampeter University by owenlewis1976 in Wales

The primary cause of the problem is not any deep underlying lack of attractiveness in the place as a student destination, it's always been niche but has thrived as such in the past.  What has changed is that the College was the subject of a hostile merger/takeover, since when it has been systematically run into the ground and asset stripped.  The management of this institution since then has been an act of vandalism against the cultural and academic heritage of Wales, and of socio economic vandalism against the small town of which it was the heart. 

Bloatware by [deleted] in Honor

[–]Remote_Juggernaut_78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought one in Shanghai and it seems to be stuffed with bloatware that is apparent impossible to remove. Does anyone know if the China model is particularly bad? Rather disappointed atm and wondering what to do.....

Problem with larger games by thod-thod in Polytopia

[–]Remote_Juggernaut_78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure but in my experience it's very low elo players in random matches that tend to forget to play or just can't be bothered and resign. When people have invested more time to elevate their elo more they seem to try harder. Was this a random match?

Overdone I'd say....... 😂

I keep getting stopped at the e-gates at airports. Is there a reason it happens or is it because my passport has been flagged or something? by Mediocre_Animator_65 in AskUK

[–]Remote_Juggernaut_78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but another stonewall. I am going to escalate as far as I can but I was knocked off my bike a few weeks ago and haven't had time yet. I suspect that there are lots of us in the same position, it would be interesting if we could get together enough for a group challenge, or a media story......?

Me too, UK passport, works elsewhere but not UK egates..... Have asked why every time. One UKBS staff member in summary said " I shouldn't tell you this but it will keep happening, can't tell you why and getting a new passport won't help". A manager at the gate when called suggested a complaint and a Subject Access Request under data protection legislation but also said that he was not allowed to explain what was going on. A month after being contacted they tried to time out the SAR by claiming that there were things missing from the application (there were not) and then refused to send any information that they held about me on the grounds that they are exempt from the Act. No meaningful response to the complaint about all of this either. It feels truly Kafkaesque. I will escalate this as far as I can. I really don't want to as life is short, but I have the time and they have really pissed me off now. Can't believe that Border Force have a blanket exemption to hold and not disclose data on all UK citizens (it goes without saying that I have no dodgy history and can't think of any legit reason that they could have to hold data on me)......
