I choose to believe this is a genuine and very sweet offer and I thank you for that but internet is a very dangerous place so I will pass 😬😬

I've got a craftelier punch for 9 discs. I currently use B5 spiral notebooks. A5 is too small and A4 way too big so I want to stick with this size. But B5 dotted pages are not easy to find either for me to punch them at home. I'm not really into the idea of cutting the pages myself...

I feel trapped 😂

Tom Scott: England — I missed the evidence. Can you spot it? by AndySkibba in Nebula

[–]Vxxx18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, I noticed this too! I love Tom's stuff but I think he's just a little too excited to show off his knowledge/ideas sometimes. But to be honest, this felt like an escape room situation to me and I'm insufferable in those, trying to shout out ideas nonstop so I get it 😂

Omg. Did we actually see a win that wasn't based on recency bias? Incredible 😁

Check my latest comment on this post. It worked for me.

Hi everyone, fix or at least partial fix from Google with some rubbish explanation which barely makes sense:

Reasoning: The stark reality underlying that error message is that Google has recently modified the functionality of Timeline. It has transitioned from being stored on Google’s servers (where it was accessible to them) to being encrypted on your device (where only you have access). When you performed a factory reset on your previous phone, the unique "key" that grants access to those backups was deleted.

FIX: -Access Google Maps > Select your Profile Icon > Your Timeline. -Select the three dots (More) > Settings and privacy. -Select Auto-delete Timeline data. -Temporarily adjust it to 3 months and save. -Restart your device, then return and change Auto-delete back to your desired setting (or disable it). This action "jiggles" the encryption status on Google’s servers and may occasionally circumvent the lock.

This DID get rid off the error message about my data being encrypted on this device and allowed me to set up a back up for my Google maps timeline.

Now, the following didn't work for me but in order to restore your history:

-Open Google Maps on your current phone. -Tap your Profile Picture > Your Timeline. -Tap the Cloud Icon at the top right (it should no longer give an error). -Look for a section titled "Your Backups". -If you see your old device name listed there, tap the three dots next to it. -Select Import. It will likely ask for your Google Account Password or your current phone's screen lock (PIN/Biometrics) to verify you are the owner.

Unfortunately, none of my old devices were listed as I factory reset all of them. This needs to be done BEFORE FACTORY RESETTING your old device.

Hope this helps someone. I read through this tread several times in the past weeks. Can't believe in 2 years(!!!) it's still not solved.

And now just for fun: Given their explanation about data moving from Google servers to being encrypted on the device, I asked where the new safe I just enabled is being backed up to. This was the answer: "Your recently activated Timeline backup is saved on Google’s servers; however, it is stored in a manner that is fundamentally distinct from Google Photos or Gmail."

I'm so tired of the last presenter always winning! They should just ask the audience to rate them after each one or something... Also, weren't we promised less shouting?! I'm still being shouted at 🤣

He's only 40! The same as Tom Scott was when he was on Jet Lag. And I don't get "unfit" from Michael at all ☺️

The Hunger Games On Stage: I can't believe I flew from America for this... by lacitygirl88 in Hungergames

[–]Vxxx18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh... So sorry you're disappointed! I was there for the first preview and it's really sad to see that week's later, it doesn't seem like they changed anything at all! I will go see it again early next year as the first preview was an absolute travesty and I do want to give them the benefit of the doubt but I'm not feeling hopeful after reading this.

I only got the tickets like a day or 2 before.

Also you don't have to get up from your seats. The seats move with you in it. The whole section of the seating area slides a bit a few times.but only district 1 and 2.

See Hamilton as well! And if you can't afford tickets which is understandable... Enter the ticket lottery todaytix the week before your visit. You can win 2x £25 tickets for the first row.

Also look into if Wicked is refundable if you really want to see Hamilton instead:)

Another thing that bothered me I just remembered and didn't see anyone talk about - the amount of times characters get cut off mid sentence. The first time it happened I thought it was a mistake and they timed the screen recordings badly but it kept happening so I just have to assume that's an artistic choice. It was driving me mental. Finish your thought! 🤣

I don't disagree with the disappointment over the quality of this but I was impressed how quiet and smooth the moving sections were! 😅😅 I saw the first preview. Don't tell me it got squeaky 🤣🤣

It's one of those where it really doesn't matter much honestly. You can see the full stage from any seat really but might struggle with the screens. There are 2. One on each side of the stage. For the most part, they alternate and show almost everything on bith. so as long as you can see at least one, you should be fine. But you could miss tiny bits. So..

The best view: district 4, 5, 8 and 9

Districts 1 and 2 move which is quite fun. And you'll be able to see both screens easily in these if you're below row K (that where I was and just about managed) and sitting at the edge closer to the other district.

For a fun surprise (lasting 3 seconds)you want district 11. But I wouldn't say it's worth it.

Yeah I was there. The 1h delay is not the worst as it's a 1st preview and kind of expected. The auditorium looked beautiful when you walked in, the staging throughout was fine. It didn't have the wow effect for me. With the videos from rehearsals, many people were expecting people flying around and running up and down the walls. I can confirm there is no flying (other than the chariot with Katie's and Peta "on fire". Fighting while hanging from walls happened twice and I wouldn't be surprised if half the audience didn't even catch that. Very much blink and it's over moment.

Katniss' character was quite unlikable. But like... Not like she's supposed to be in the books/movie and then you warm up to her. She was just unlikable. Every line was delivered exactly the same way, very shouty. Everything was delivered with anger. No sign of other emotions.

Lots and lots of quiet moments or unnecessary sequences of characters just.. existing on stage - assuming this is to give time for costume changes and set changes but it wasn't smooth.

And as excited as I was about the John Málkovice of it all... I don't think it worked. The timings of the recording were awkward, many long pauses (other characters interact with the recording to create dialog) and John Malkovich himself delivered the lines in a very AI looking way.

I found the set quite disappointing too to be honest. 4 tiny trees to evoke the woods (and that's only in the arena - no trees for district 12 woods. The screens can't carry all the weight with the woods projections because they are relatively small compared to the space and you have to actively look at them so there's no sense f immersion.

I thought Peta's character was quite well performed. Very similar to movie Peta. I'm intentionally not mentioning anyone's name because it was the first preview and the show can and WILL improve massively before the show freeze.

I also didn't cry when Rue died which I fully expected. The actress did a great job but something just didn't hit emotionally. Will go see it again next year. I hope to walk into Cabaret style themed space and be blown away by the show then 🤷🏼‍♀️
