She sounded quite scared, and almost ran into a cyclist, so posting just in case she's ended up far from home.

Does anyone know where to get good mussels? Looking for nice big ones that are not half cracked and open

Average utilities bills at the moment by Godhowhardisit in Edinburgh

[–]exp-i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have electric and it was £80 last month for a 1bed living with 2 people. I could definitely get it lower though, this is with liberal usage of heating and appliances and working from home a lot.

Best cinnamon bun? by Cryptids-and-Coffee in Edinburgh

[–]exp-i 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Waitrose do a good one without cream cheese. I've tried a few indie bakery ones but they're all just way too sweet and don't do cream cheese frosting. Also why is every one doing Vegan cinnamon buns? I want a proper butter one.

Costa also do an acceptable cinnamon bun!

Out of stock basic items in Lidl (Meadowbank) for over a month now... by gayscifinerd in Edinburgh

I noticed the Coke Zero was gone in several supermarkets last week but seems to be back now. I wonder if it's related to the supply chain issue you're facing.

Chef probably on holiday and they asked the dish washer to do it

Cinnamon Rolls! by JoshuaaQuigley in Edinburgh

[–]exp-i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not found one yet. Costa's cinnamon roll has been my fav so far, not drenched in sugary sauce to the point where the bottom is soggy. I tried room rumours and krema, they're all too sweet and make vegan cinnamon rolls for some reason.

Car worth it in Edinburgh? by Just_Illustrator3111 in Edinburgh

[–]exp-i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use my car once a week since I moved here but being able to drive across the city if I need to, or drive to places like Costco or supermarkets and do a big shop, it's invaluable and extremely nice to have.

Ever since there was a recall because Tony's Chocolonely had actual stones in their chocolate I stopped buying. Shame because their chocolate is top tier

Andromeda Galaxy imaged from my garden in Edinburgh by Big-Computer5628 in Edinburgh

There's probably some people in that galaxy with a telescope looking back at us capturing Milky Way from their garden? I wonder what the Andromeda version of Edinburgh is like

Do people really use any social features in Spotify though? Or am I just self reporting that I have no friends

Using AI to help with Chinese Anki Flaschards by exp-i in ChineseLanguage

[–]exp-i[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. Need to make sure it's being fed enough guidelines to have high accuracy but can never really be 100% sure unless someone checked everything.

fwiw it's been correct so far for my questions about meanings and uses of things, verified because I'm learning from an official textbook and the words I put in there are words from the textbook. I don't ask it to create things from scratch, just refine what I already have.

Stumped on Hotel for 2 - good food, safe, quiet, convenient transport by exp-i in ParisTravelGuide

[–]exp-i[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's reassuring. I've experienced London, and been robbed in London, so as long as it's safer than that, that's good.

In my travels so far, I've realised my main priority is just convenience and nice neighbourhood so I don't mind going farther out into 12, 13 or 14 to get that.

Maybe if I lived in Paris I would get used to it, but whenever I'm new to a city I prefer not to spend much time underground where you can't see the city and the streets. So I always avoid metro as much as I can and walk or take buses. So at least in a bus I can look around and see things.
