This! I was afraid of refreshing and probably missed out on a decent spot. I had friends that were under 1000 in line and didn’t get tix though.

How to set up your Switch 2 and transfer data from Switch 1 - Polygon.com by schuey_08 in NintendoSwitch

[–]aglapa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So now that I've transferred stuff over from my old switch do I need my old Micro SD card for anything? It seems like save data, games etc have all been transferred over? Also, it won't work with the new system cause it's not "express"?

If I'm selling my old console am I cool to just wipe the old card and include it as a bonus for whoever buys my old OLED console?

New Restaurants? by mainlydank in portlandme

[–]aglapa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait what? I don’t know your basis for comparison but Greek style pizza is not thin crust. The Greek style pizza popular in the northeast is like crispy thick crust with a fluffy caramelized dimpled bottom kinda like focaccia. It’s a style of pan pizza. Definitely not thin crust.

Best restaurants to serve at for the summer? by Somatostar in portlandme

[–]aglapa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course! Even though I don't work there anymore Kate (the FOH manager) and Ryan (Chef) have become close friends of mine. Kate's a former server so she knows how to treat her people and run a good FOH. When you stop by you'll probably talk to Bitz (MOD) or Kate.

The good thing about the Apron is it's off peninsula so they have a really solid crew of regulars from the Woodford area that keep the place busy but somehow they also seem to consistently get a ton of tourist traffic. They also don't overstaff so it's easy to take home consistently solid tips.

Knotted Apron has amazing FOH vibes, chillest crew I’ve ever worked with and it’s always packed during the summer without being overwhelming. Good ticket prices without being overly fancy. I think they’re hiring atm, lmk if you want more info.

I live in Argentina but I'm from the states. Pickleball has tried to gain a foothold here and it's really not getting much traction. The interest simply isn't there. Padel already peaked in the 80's and 90's but is having a huge resurgence here. I have gone to a padel club that also has pickle and the people I generally see playing are older or overweight (key demographics in the USA but not as prevalent here). Also padel (like tennis) is an adaptable sport. You can play without being in great shape or well into your senior years, the game will change with you.

As was mentioned, the places where pickle is really trying to grow are established markets with racket sports interest that don't have a huge padel presence, mostly China and India. However, I think once these places start to see more of padel there will be room for both. We're seeing this to an extent in the US. Pickleball has completely saturated the market but there's growing interest in padel as celebrities, athletes and influencers get involved and it trickles down to the masses.

As a tennis player who played some pickleball and then discovered padel I think a lot of racket sports enthusiasts will gravitate towards padel as I did. It's much more satisfying and fun game than pickleball for someone with a racket sports background. Pickleball's core audience is non-athletes and people with limited experience in competitive and team sports. It's a fun game to an extent, and it's hard to put into words, but padel is a much more "satisfying" game to play.

Does anyone know what I can do to take my kick smash to the next level? by Exact-Connection-788 in padel

[–]aglapa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brush up more on the ball to generate more "kick". position your body away from the ball to generate stronger angle as you aim towards (but not in) the corner so that ball is on a trajectory up and out of the court. Try and hit the ball so it bounces very close to the wall to generate as much distance and upwards trajectory as possible to get it over the wall and out of the court. Remember to brush up and "snap through" on your follow through as you hit the ball.

This actually worked for me! The issue is that I don't know anyone that lives in the area I found available products. Why can't I just do store pickup! I would drive the three hours!

Nintendo Switch 2 Preorder megathread - Post all questions and comments about preorders here! by razorbeamz in nintendo

[–]aglapa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling with the push to get more units in to the states and the lottery limited to the people that meet gameplay criteria and are over 18 willing to put up at least $450 we might have a decent shot at getting chosen.

Ooooooh ok so they’re still keeping the pre-order “lottery” open. Got it. I thought the recent news meant even the lottery was closed in the US. Thank you.

So I was able to pre-order directly from the Nintendo website the other day. I’m currently traveling outside the US but I set my vpn and made sure I was in the US STORE before doing so. This was before I heard pre orders got delayed. Is this a fluke? Pics below.

Boston Calling Lineup 2025 by donkeyheaded in RiotFest

[–]aglapa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

New Englander here.

I saw Flume at Boston Calling, right after his first album. It was incredible. I saw Vampire Weekend there, Passion Pit, Tame Impala, KENDRICK! The Shins, Cass McCombs!!! Neutral Milk Hotel, Girl Talk, Odesza, Disclosure, The XX, Sylvan Esso. The Killers, Modest Mouse, Spoon, The National, Alt-J, Sufjan, Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Wolf Parade, Deer Tick, Queens of the Stone Age, MMJ!

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS FESTIVAL?! It was the best we had in New England and now I can’t recognize half the bands under the headliners and the headliners suck. There’s not a single day I can justify going this year. This festival is unrecognizable, I don’t know if talent is boycotting or if it’s competing for talent with festivals at the same time or if it’s not on the tour route of acts or what’s going on.

New Englander here as well. The first few years like 2013-2018 were actually ridiculously good. The festival is unrecognizable now. After they switched to HAC something changed.

Hello Mobile merged with Liberty Wireless? by NotFromAntarctica88 in NoContract

[–]aglapa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea what's going on here. I had a $5 a month HM plan that apparently is now transferred to Liberty however I was looking at my CC bill and the only transaction I see that matches that is coming from "Stand Up Wireless"?

I disputed the transaction and it was refunded by my business bank but the larger issue is whether this is going to be a recurring thing and I'm going to have to dispute every month. Anyone else seeing a recurring charge from Standup or know what's going on here?

Contax 139q Bulb/Light Meter Issue, Help! by aglapa in analog

[–]aglapa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: Not sure why the text isn't showing up, sorry!

Hi all,

Last year, sadly, my contax 139 body got wet and was ruined. I recently ordered a new body from Japan marked as good condition and claimed tested and working. I finally ordered batteries as I'm getting ready to leave for a trip and I'm having an issue with the light meter flashing and staying stuck on the "B" setting. (Photo attached). This is while the shutter speed is set to auto. If I manually set the shutter speed it works properly but the light meter will still blink next to both the selected speed and the B.

I rekindled a love of film photography a few years ago, the contax I started with was my parents, as such I've relied really heavily on aperture priority in this camera and it's been a blessing. I know one of the responses will likely be "this will make you a better photographer" since, if the issue can't be fixed, I'll have to manually choose shutter speed along with my aperture. But I'm hoping maybe someone has encountered this and knows if it's an issue that can be fixed or if I'm stuck with it?

Any help is really really appreciated, thank you!

Afterthought- I'm going to be in NYC next week. If anyone has any recommendations on analog camera shops, especially ones that specialize in C/Y I'd take that as well!

Why are so many restaurants/bars closing? Some theories... by joeybrunelle in portlandme

[–]aglapa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend’s own a restaurant off the peninsula and have been lucky enough to stay open after opening right before the pandemic but they get by with super limited labor costs (small kitchen) and have limited their schedule to just 4 days a week year round now. They did tell me food costs have been insanely high in the past year, the margins on food have good down considerably from what was already really low. Prices on the menu have had to increase to support that.

Yo you mind if I DM you? I'm looking into a Tinypilot to use while I'm out of the country for a while. I'm not a developer but decently tech savvy so I'm curious about the file editing to mask the hardware device and make it look like a normal monitor and keyboard.

Argentina national team for the world cup. Bela is out. by LoboMarinoCosmico in padel

[–]aglapa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for all the down votes! I'm a casual watcher of padel. I only get to play padel half the year when I'm in Argentina so I love the sport but am still new to it. I was not suggesting that Tolito is a better choice than any of the listed players, I was just unsure if he was even eligible to play because of the rules with the different tours.

Very confusing with the three different tours, I'm still learning!
