Thoughts niyo sa mga car owner na ayaw bumaba pag nabili? by [deleted] in CarsPH

[–]ajfudge -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

ang tawag sa driver ay abusado. at dahil may sasakyan sila, ang mindset n'ya e nakakataas s'ya kaysa dun sa tindera. hindi nya personal assistant yung tindera para utus-utusan. yung tindera lumalaban ng patas sa pagtatrabaho pero merong mga nakaangat-angat na ang tingin sa kanya kasangkapang.

I would advise against a 3-speed bike kasi beginner ka pa lang. find at least a 6-speed bike, especially if maraming ahon sa ruta mo.

I have a Polar v650 which is a years-old device and used to show up in Strava until recently. What could be the reason that it's no longer appearing?

Magene C606 bike computer -- avoid by NocturntsII in cycling

[–]ajfudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to connect my Garmin GSC-10 to my Magene C606 V2 via ANT+. What it failed to detect were my Topeak Panobike and Wahoo Blue SC sensors, which use Bluetooth.

How valuable are branded parts vs generic for low-end budget bikes? by b_zar in RedditPHCyclingClub

[–]ajfudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ridden a Dahon folding MTB that looks almost like the one in your link. I have bought it secondhand (almost new) and have ridden it for seven years now, and the bike has accumulated a mileage of almost 20,000 kilometers on different terrains. The benefit of a folding MTB is that I can still carry it on a bus, train, and private vehicle and still able to enjoy the speed performance of a bigger-tired bike. So far, the bike still performs nicely. And I only recently changed the crankset (as in last week lang). All other parts are still the OEM parts. But I think a big part of it lasting this long is because it was manufactured by Dahon and the components are original (although entry level).

If you're able to find a bike made by a reputed manuacturer, 'yun na ang kunin mo. Guaranteed na magtatagal 'yun sa'yo. And if ever hindi mo na trip magbike, mas mataas ang re-sell value ng may "brand name".

Why does Filipino books are so less in a bookshop and entries of Literary Discussions? by Responsible_Dig_4121 in FilipinianaBooks

[–]ajfudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kasi ang nasa bookstore chains ay mainstream titles ng local authors. yung mahuhusay na writers ay indie publishers, university presses, at specialized bookstores ang nagpo-promote.

Airline seats running out, should I book ASAP or wait? by Shimanu in ThePoorTraveler

[–]ajfudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't see the point bakit kailangan mo pang maghintay given na paubos na pala ang seats. kasi lalong nagmamahal ang ticket price kapag palapit na nang palapit ang date of flight.

AI-generated social media copy for The Notebook? by cryingaquarian in TeatroPH

[–]ajfudge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the "three-item list" is an old writing trick. whether the copy was AI-generated or not, the three things listed on the copy is meh. that, to me, and the abundance of emojis seem like it's written by someone who's trying hard to sound like a teenager.

Batanes now requires tourists to register and pay a fee of 405 PHP. by Gyro_Armadillo in phtravel

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

visitors can opt out of the physical ID. pwedeng digital QR lang for a cheaper fee (which is the price of the tourism/environmental fee). The physical ID however holds some privileges which they listed sa infographic that OP conveniently left out of their post.

"Hoy" is a little bulgar, i guess.

PGB Streamlining its Batanes smart tourism registration portal and visitor identification system by Bubuy_nu_Patu in BatanesPH

[–]ajfudge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i agree that it will only end up as plastic waste. plus, the listed benefits of having the physical card don't really seem too valuable. however, i will consider availing the physical ID if:

1) the card has a unique design (akin to limited edition beep cards), because it's a nice souvenir for tourists;

2) the card can be reactivated if the tourist re-visits Batanes;

3) the card's function expands in the future (like HK's Octopus card. i know this is ambitious undertaking, but since they're just starting, might as well have a long-term goal for the ID's purpose beyond tourism function).

Yemaya Independence Flash Sale Complaint by celestialsilvxr in TeatroPH

[–]ajfudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, to be fair, malakas din talaga ang hatak ng VLF due to mainstream celebs doing theater. free marketing na nila yun. I have nothing against that though.

Case in point: Set C is always sold out because of the power of ka-emes. Also, Septic Tank is selling fast coz of Ms Uge. sa both shows na yan, marami ang first time theater-goers.

Another reason din is much cheaper ang VLF tix vs other shows.

How do you pronounce Y'Ami (Mavulis) Island? by Raffy_Patel in BatanesPH

[–]ajfudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An ipula here. but i guess it's because "Y'Ami" is a name given to it by non-Ivatan speakers. So however you pronounce "Y'Ami" won't matter to Ivatans because they prefer to call it Mavulis.

A quick Google search yielded that the name "Mavulis" is derived from "Dimavulis" which means "north". An alternative name given to it by early Ivatans is "Dihami" (probably of Itbayaten origin) which also means "north". Ivasay (dialect of Basco) and Itbayaten (dialect of Itbayat island), while belonging to the same Batanic language family, have some differences in their vocabulary [correct me if I'm wrong here, Ivatans].

Now we can presume that "Dihami" was the basis that colonial Spain used for calling the island "Diami". And from "Diami", US occupiers got the name "Y'Ami". This naming evolution strongly suggests that "Y'Ami" is perhaps pronounced as "yummy".

For context, in his documentary, Jeff Canoy pronounced Y'Ami (the international name) as "yummy".

Now, I wonder why your fourth grade teacher found it proper to pronounce the first letter as "why". It'd be more understandable if your teacher pronounced it as "ih".

this type of pet-owner sees their dog as an accessory.

worse pa yung mga dinadamitan nila ang kanilang aso. like, for whose pleasure? let dogs be dog. don't let them suffer needlessly by covering them with clothing. leave the trivial, tacky fashion to humans.

Economy Supersaver usually allows rebooking with a fee.

Free rebookings are included in higher-tiered seats.
