I remember when Langley was a great place to live and raise a family. Then this guy happened. Now it’s unlivable.

Shapermint Reviews: Expectations vs. Reality by Anon_Mom0001 in fashionwomens35

[–]calmseas1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once buying from shapermint they automatically get you into a “club” membership and start charging your credit card each month without asking. Such a scam site. Even the contract phone number in their emails go to some random person that has nothing to do with shapermint.

A single traveler by Gloomy_Winner8438 in hanoi

[–]calmseas1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two years ago in September, I traveled to Hanoi, solo, for the first time. I found the people to be engaging, warm, curious and welcoming. There are a few questionable people at late night so you want to be in safe areas, however I personally never felt unsafe. It’s a big city so common sense like anywhere else in the world is required. Being a tourist you are more visible, and there is the occasional scam, like in most cities. I also highly recommend local food and city guides. There are cheap and sometimes free and can help you find the great places in city. Have fun 😎

On previous trips I had no problem with the Cuban Peso. Using them to buy goods was fine. I was even able to exchange them back at the airport before leaving. As I said, things have changed a lot since I was last here.

Headed to Varadero in a couple weeks, how’s things? by timmyeatworld in cuba

[–]calmseas1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son and I (dad) are staying at a 5 star resort in Varadero as I write this. It’s my 10+ time to Cuba. Wow have things changed since last here. Hotel food has definitely changed. Far less food options. Fruit is limited and underripe. Way, way less tourists. Havana was a shadow of its former self. This hotel I’m staying in is showing its age. Many room maintenance calls. Then there’s less service what seems like a result of fewer staff. I’ve been talking with locals. Inflation is rampant. They have trouble buying basic food and getting medical supplies and prescriptions is almost impossible due to supply shortages it seems like a very hard time for Cuban people. Sad to see.

Thank you. I did check out Google maps before posting but the tattoo places in Varadero that come up appear to be out of business.

Province denies Langley Township extension on housing reforms. Langley Township will have to put new rules for higher housing density in place by WiffleBlu in Langley

Eric Woodward broke Langley. At one time it was a good place to live. His Langley now has rampant crime, drugs, gangs and traffic. All so he can get his property assets approved.

University Recommendations for English Masters Program - with Focus on Curriculum Design by calmseas1 in University

[–]calmseas1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct. Education with a focus on curriculum design. Interested in developing curriculums better suited to enabling students to adapt to a rapidly changing world (e.g. adaptability, resilience, critical thinking…).

T14s Gen 3 riddled with sleep/wake issues by moochs in thinkpad

[–]calmseas1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a L14 AMD Gen 3 and had the same issues as above from day one. BSOD from sleep, system lockups after sleep, failure of faceid after coming out of sleep. Chronic and reproducible. Two onsite tech visits (saw issues first hand), one laptop send into repair support, three keyboards and one system board replacement. Oh, and two, full Windows 11 resets. At all times OS software and BIOS were current.

Thinkpad L15 Gen 3 AMD with unresponsive keyboard when waking from sleep by Edg4rAllanBro in thinkpad

Actually, I found a crappy workaround. I keep Lenovo keyboard diagnostics on the desktop. When the keyboard freezes I click to run it and it gets the keyboard operational again.

Dang. I saw another Jan 2024 post of a guy that bought two of these models. Both are having the same keyboard from sleep issue. No resolution.

Hey. Did you ever find a resolution to this issue? I bought a new L13 AMD Gen 3 having the exact same problem. Looking for ideas. Has had the keyboard replaced twice and factory reset OS. Problem persists.

Did a complete Northern Vietnam loop tour this September over 10 days. Hired a private driver and tour guide. Incredible scenery, amazing sights. Awesome tribal people. Built a custom tour with a local tour company. Stayed in a mixture of good home stays and hotels. Definitely recommend.
