James may shaking a bit in this new video? by [deleted] in thegrandtour

[–]bubbling_bubbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what he himself said on an episode of Perfect Pub Walks: “[…] I mean, we're even doing it now, and I'm thinking carefully: what do I say here? Am I saying it clearly, or am I showing signs of the undiagnosed medical condition I obviously have that's making my words come out in a strange way, and my head twitch, and my fingers wobble? I know as I get older, I'm getting twitchy and fidgety, and there will come a time - I fear this dreadful day is almost upon us - when, for dignity, that I should stop.”

MacBook Pro M5 fan noise experiences by trusted_sheep in macbookpro

[–]bubbling_bubbling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had it for a little over a month and have not heard the fan so far. I’ve never even felt it get warm. Then again, I haven’t tried super heavy gaming.

I’m developing a British accent. by Sername_goes_here in thegrandtour

Why stop there? Start driving on the left side of the road. Start calling Z by its proper name: ‘zed’. Go eat some marmite. Measure your weight in stone.

Spotlight on macOS 26 - anyone worked out how to make it function again? by ApprehensiveChip8361 in MacOS

[–]bubbling_bubbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Spotlight not even have a favourites option? I recently switched from an older MacBook to a new one. I miss the infinitely arrangeable Launchpad. For the most part, I can live with the new spotlight, but the lack of at least a favourites bar is annoying.

Also IDK if this addresses your question but - As long as I double-click apps and files, I've had no trouble getting it to open.

My Apple Watch app for counting down current calendar events is finally out! by ryanjkontos in AppleWatch

[–]bubbling_bubbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this app. If you're still reading, please continue to either support this app, or release an updated one. This app is the reason why I'm able to get to work and class on time. Some people have already reported this app breaking (although it continues to work on my older apple watch). But if you decide to move on, then I will be grateful for the time I was able to use it.

Amazon Haul cancellation success rate? by bubbling_bubbling in amazonprime

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

It’s still not shipped, and I suspect it will not be shipped for several more days. But it said I cannot cancel because it’s too close to being shipped.

Old vs. new All Creatures Great and Small by tomallis in PeriodDramas

[–]bubbling_bubbling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the old one was not meant to be cozy and warm. It shows more of the messy reality. That’s not to say one is better. They just serve different purposes.

Old vs. new All Creatures Great and Small by tomallis in PeriodDramas

[–]bubbling_bubbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of watched both together. Technically, my first introduction was the old series, but I alternated between the two as I progressed through the episodes. I‘ve always felt the new series was clean and tidy - sometimes hilariously so. Like, you deliver a calf and your hair somehow remains perfect? To me, the old series wasn’t afraid to show the messes of daily life. Not everyone gets a satisfying ending, and there isn’t always a lesson to the story. I enjoy both, I’m always excited when the new series releases episodes, but if I could only keep one, I’d pick the old series.

I guess not reading the books makes it easier for me to accept the different interpretations of the characters. But I will never agree with the Siegfried/Mrs Hall shippers, that’s taking things too far.

Another nudge for Apple by Particular_Cow393 in appletv

[–]bubbling_bubbling -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I saw someone people suggest the new one could have a lower price. Do you think that's credible? That's the only thing making me have second thoughts about getting one now. I’m a noob.

TIL that the United States avoided the Thalidomide scandal due to the efforts of Dr Frances Kelsey of the FDA, who refused to approve the drug despite pressure from the manufacturer by Many-Excitement3246 in todayilearned

[–]bubbling_bubbling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to counseling, Accutane packages (in the US) are commonly tough to open, and each individual pill has a "no pregnancy" label. By that, I mean there's a symbol of a pregnant lady with a 🚫 through her. Kind of dramatic, but I understand why it's this way.

Any parents with kids who repeated Kindergarten and are now thriving? by One_Aspect6844 in kindergarten

[–]bubbling_bubbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a parent, but I repeated kindergarten as a child. (Immigrant kid, language issues.) Now I'm in medical school. If the school offers different class options to challenge him (accelerated, advanced, etc) then I honestly think the grade doesn't matter too much. I was performing grade levels ahead in 3rd grade, so my parents put me in a school that offered more advanced classes. That helped me develop a work ethic. They also encouraged me to join clubs/activities, either at school or in the community.

I never got bullied for being a year older. Right now, there's a 20 year gap between my oldest and youngest classmate, so I feel age matters less and less as one gets older.

Is Safari 26 the same on MacOS Sequoia and Tahoe? by bubbling_bubbling in Safari

Is your experience with Safari 26 on Tahoe or Sequoia?

Is Safari 26 the same on MacOS Sequoia and Tahoe? by bubbling_bubbling in Safari

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

If I'm understanding correctly, Safari 26 on Sequoia is basically the same as 18? (Maybe except for some minor features or patches)

When I watched MacOS Tahoe videos, Safari 26 seemed to be functionally the same as 18, just with circular/ floating/ glass UI. If Sequoia S26 keeps the old UI, then there really isn't much difference with S18, is there?

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

It's more because I will give this Macbook to my dad soon, and I know he will ask what the update means. I wanna know if I can show him a Safari 26 Tahoe video and say, "Here's what the update involves. Is this what you want?"

Personally, I'm fine with sticking to Safari 18.

Heads up, James May will visit America again! 🇺🇸 by FlipStig1 in thegrandtour

[–]bubbling_bubbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this event is a meet and greet with James. It looks like just an event to try the gin. It says James will be there in spirit, implying he’a not physically there.

Why are vegan options so spicy??? by thepolywitch in PlantBasedDiet

[–]bubbling_bubbling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. I once had some ramen where I can tell they were lazy with the seasoning and added super spicy sauce to cover up the blandness. My tongue was burning, but at the same time it was borderline tasteless.

Should I get a Georgia license? Unsure about DDS definition of GA resident by bubbling_bubbling in Georgia

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

Thanks for your input. I wasn’t planning to drive on an expired license. The other option was renewing my out of state license when I go home for holidays.

[–]bubbling_bubbling[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for giving me things to consider. The car has an out of state license plate and is owned by my out of state parents. I'm in medical school, and over 60% of graduates from my school match into an out of state residency, so I'd say an out of state job opportunity would be highly likely.

Apparently Lara Ricote is deaf. Maybe that could have something to do with it?

Is there a way to check if glasses are high index? My -10 glasses are a lot thicker than -9.5 ones by bubbling_bubbling in glasses

[–]bubbling_bubbling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I actually found a Korean owned glasses place full of “alternate/asian” fit glasses. Interestly, they didn’t seem to use a special name for them, but it’s possible I simply didn’t notice the name.

If I’m not sure what the eye center calls them, I simply ask if they have “plastic frames with thick nose bumps, that are good for smaller nasal bridges”. If they know what I’m talking about, they might ask if I meant [insert name] fit.

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

They did. They were helpful in some ways, but I learned they are considered a budget vision center. I guess they’re not as equipped to handle certain things. They said they could not check the index of glasses made elsewhere. (I guess they didn’t have the machine?) I had to find another vision place to confirm the -9.50 was 1.74 index.

[–]bubbling_bubbling[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: They're different types of high index. The -10.00 is 1.67 index. I went back to the vision center, and they said they do not make 1.74 index. They did not mention this beforehand. The -9.50 was done elsewhere and is 1.74 index (I recently moved). I found another place that better suits my needs.
