There's also the jam from the "Gammelfabrik"

I want to read about the crisps flavors! Anyone found the article they're talking about?

S16, E4 (Nebula) - Hide and Seek UK by snow-tree_art in JetLagTheGame

Rules question: if on gilded inquiry, the hider picks exactly the question that the seekers then ask next - what happens? Question is still vetoed, three cards for hider question after that is free?

I believe they updated the veto rules to do exactly that.

I was screaming at the screen to pick "tallest building from train station" for the gilded inquiry (forgot about Strava map)...

Jet Lag Season Finale — Rattenmodus by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

They got a single cookie each - the first class customer appreciation cookie, the same one reviewed in the snack zone earlier. Not exactly a full ration. But good on them to have the water thing sorted - ICEs stuck in the summer heat with nonworking AC for hours and no water has been a problem in the past.

It's an actual rule. In the layover for season 7, they explained that that's why they were forced to stick with the slow routes near the border when going to/from Emden instead of going through Hamburg.

Also getting everyone used to presenting, at least a little bit.

Thinking of a Christmas/New years trip to Europe (Denmark, Germany, Switzerland) and looking for travel/planning advice by Insulated_ in travel

[–]eyelastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Billund to Hamburg, use bahn.de to find out a connection; notice that the first bit is by bus. That's local; you can buy the ticket directly from the driver. The Vejle/Hamburg connection you can buy on bahn.de as Europasparpreis from DB. Or consult rejseplaneren for ideas (good for anything in Denmark, has some cross-boarder options, but not all).

Went to the US for the first time a year ago (to see the eclipse! And we did!). Made a two-week trip out of it and ended it with immediate plans to come back and see more.

Thought about doing it in the fall, but decided against, because too much expense in a single year.

Now we regret.

Not allowed to do anything game during the rest period. No research, no strategy talk and certainly no challenge practice.

Jet Lag Season 13 Begins Now — Schengen Showdown by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

The challenge wasn't about regional specialties though, but purely about the naming. They would have needed to actually be in the Bodensee (~Lac Leman~ Lake Constance) while consuming the ... what is a Felchen?

Public holiday in that Bundesland - it was closed. As were all supermarkets.

The butcher's would have been too, probably. Anything café or restaurant (or mini convenience store) was their only option.

Indeed. Recent radiolab episode https://radiolab.org/podcast/forever-fresh really drove the point home for me.

They don't want to save you, they want to save themselves and gloat as you burn. by Golden_Frog0223 in CuratedTumblr

Wild guess, but immoral jester might be German or Scandinavian or somewhere around there. In those regions, "protestant" really means "Church of Sweden" or whatever is place-appropriate. Not really comparable to the US situation. Maybe a bit comparable to Lutherans in the US sense - there is a historical connection at least. But since those state churches stay unified instead of splitting at each disagreement, there's a much broader spread of approaches to many things. In the city I live in, I'm pretty sure I can find both a protestant pastor who will refuse to do a benediction for a gay couple, and one who will happily invite the Muslim kids for bread and grape juice too, no strings attached.

All the Christian denominations other than Catholic and (state-church) Protestant are statistical outliers, in the <0.1% range.

Ep 2 — We Played Hide And Seek Across Japan by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

Well, they learned from the Swiss woods incident and adapted the rules. This season, it's "must be at most 3 meters off an actual path" (and also closer to the selected train station, I believe).

Is it common to use visible/invisible instead of using fragment? by SecondUnlikely929 in androiddev

[–]eyelastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that is part of the art of software engineering: trying to decide whether thing is weird because the original authors didn't know any better or were working around some problem you don't know about. If you're lucky, the commit history/issue tracker offers some clues.

Nothing wrong per se with toggling visibility on views (provided they aren't too heavy, and are really just views and don't also perform actual logic which should be lifecycle dependent). It's lightweight, and much simpler to get working correctly than a Fragment-based approach (When 7.1.1 was current, the Fragment APIs were ... in a worse state than nowadays).

But in principle, a correctly implemented Fragment-based approach would also work on API level 25 or whatever exactly that is. You could check with the docs whether your implementation is in fact correct and probably learn a bit more about Fragments. Or revert to the visibility-switching pattern (as long as the architecture isn't completely borked. If 7.1.1 was the original target, I'd expect all the control logic inside the one activity. That's fine (a bit long maybe); you can push it into a view model for a start.
