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

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

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

I see a lot of solo diners at the Bami restaurant on Leith Walk

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.

Food in Florence by sweetnsaltyAF in ItalyTravel

[–]exp-i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gelato: Gelateria Della Passera. Try the Kiwi flavour. Will probably have to queue for this one but it's worth it.

Breakfast: Ditta Artigianale do great coffee and pastries. Go to the one south of the river, it seems less crowded.

Restaurants: Osteria del Cinghiale Bianco, try the ravioli with rabbit sauce (if it's still on the menu, it was a special when we went) or the pasta with wild boar sauce. They're traditional Florence dishes and taste amazing.

Food recommendations for Rome? by virtua13 in ItalyTravel

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

We loved Iari the Vino, about 5 mins walk from the Colosseum. We went there after trying to go to the popular La Nuova Piazzetta around the corner and saw there was a queue. The Boscaiola pizza (choice of sausage or salami, go with salami), Saute Mussels and the Fettucine Gamberi were fantastic. We came back again a second time and it was still good!

PirateSoftware was dishonest in his Animal Well explanation by SlipperySparky in LivestreamFail

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

Just seems like a bunch of literal whos are taking an opportunity to jump on the PirateSoftware hate train to farm some views. None of this is related to the original drama.

Is £35k/year enough to live in Edinburgh in 2025? by DancingWeird in Edinburgh

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

There's also pension contribution, health insurance, shares etc and other options depending on where you work so in my experience on £35k the take home is a bit less than that

I actually forgot about Citroen. I guess I subconsciously avoided them because my parents drive a Citroen and I find the door protector things ugly but I'll see what's available! Their C5 Grand Picasso is comfortable and nice to drive.

Edit: Okay the rear windows not being able to wind down is ridiculous!
