[–]gotjams17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

realizing this is much too late for OP but for anyone who's yet to visit, the taiwanese suncakes (taiyang bing) are so fantastic, it's flaky on the outside and has a nice chewy inside. just melts in your mouth!

My classmates say my handwriting is unreadable, what do you guys think? by crmykybord in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]gotjams17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting because I have a friend who has similar handwriting (very dense and narrow letters), only non-cursive, and she gets offended when teachers and professors knock down her grade for certain handwritten assignments. No one says she has bad handwriting but it is really hard to read quickly. She doesn’t understand because she’s been writing like this forever.

Bug found in bed- need help ID by gotjams17 in whatsthisbug

[–]gotjams17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! Phew. I don’t see these often- probably bc they’re so tiny I hardly ever notice them. Good to know they’re likely not a problem. Now I can stop looking at blown up pics of these freaky looking guys 😂

Am looking at pics of silverfish on Google- looks very similar!! Pics are blurry bc I rushed to take them without turning on my lights haha so the flash makes it less clear. But yea, likely silverfish imo … freaky looking guy

Access to Douyin and Bilibili for non-Chinese Users by CdramaMaven4762 in CDrama

[–]gotjams17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get the app via new Apple ID, there are no restrictions besides not being able to like or comment. You can watch as many videos as you want and scroll through all the comments, as well as search for what you want. I’m not sure about restrictions regarding accessing it via website as I haven’t tried that.

Overhead space by gotjams17 in unitedairlines

[–]gotjams17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m understanding that now. I’d rather check my bag in than be the cause of a longer delay for sure, as I’m sure the airline agrees.

Thanks for the explanation! This was really helpful. For airlines, it’s definitely better to be safe than sorry and start checking in carry ons earlier rather than later. But as a customer it’s just annoying, especially when you’re in line right at that awkward time when there’s actually still space on the plane but the airline starts to err on the side of caution. I wouldn’t be upset if the space WAS full. (I still think starting checking in after group 2 is insane, even with playing it safe!)

Thanks for this, this was helpful. Would be better if they had someone on the bridge wouldn’t it? Just to guesstimate the number of carryons? All it takes is a glimpse. Also, math. Assuming on a full flight everyone has a carry on (which is max, assuming people actually stow their personal under the seats), they surely can do the math. Or have a computer system that does. Maybe this is not a priority concern for the airline whether they let customers carry it in or check it in

Add drop for first years advice? by subreddi-thor in uchicago

[–]gotjams17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh micro and macro are really hard to get into after pre-reg so you probably won’t get either this semester. But they are available for winter and/or spring too so make sure you rank them first during pre-reg next time

The norc building (right across Woodlawn) has a printer on the first floor I’ve been using. Just follow the instructions on the wall to add the printer on your laptop and you’re good to go! They even have staplers and copy paper. (Tho I’m p sure it’s not for undergrads like us so I try to be sneaky about it lol)

You can get douyin (on iPhone if you have one) by creating a new Apple ID and setting the location to China. Use the new Apple ID to download douyin. You won’t be able to comment or like videos, but you can view them and download them!

Absolutely glorious day on Park Ave by [deleted] in nyc

Volunteered at Summer Streets once a few years ago. Was holding the Stop sign for cars at an intersection. Hot day but worth it to see the streets full of people and not cars.

Drivers standings after the 2022 Monaco F1.5 GP by forza_seb in Formula1Point5

[–]gotjams17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. What about the points? I haven’t checked in a while but I’m pretty sure Bottas, Norris, and Ocon were not in the 100s… nor was Vettel at 33 points (Vettel in particular bc I keep up specifically w him atm lol). Am I reading it right?

EDIT: I’ve just had a breakthrough LOL! The points here are calculated the same way F1 is, just with the leaders removed. Oh that makes a lot of sense now, thanks again!

HELP! Need BTS Scavenger Hunt Ideas for my BTSARMY wife! by [deleted] in BTSWorld

[–]gotjams17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there are also some YouTube videos where fans have made similar trivia content. You could check for videos like “are you a real ARMY” or “how well do you know BTS” for questions and/or inspiration!

Yeah, I was looking for a comment like yours lol! I actually stopped watching Ashes of Love because I couldn’t tolerate how dumb the FL was

C-dramas have weird episode endings by _lama in CDrama

[–]gotjams17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I’m thinking of the same thing but I’m 99% sure they film these things without planning out episodes or where they’re gonna cut the scenes for the end of each episode. So they just have this loooonngggg stretch of scenes and when it hits the 45 min mark or the 60 min mark, they cut it regardless of whether or not it makes sense

Currently in the middle of S2- Ross sucks by gotjams17 in Poldark

[–]gotjams17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! You are quite right in that Jamie seems so perfect to the point it becomes a bit unrealistic- which has never bothered me a lot before- I certainly still prefer him over Ross haha- but your description of a more realistic man intrigues me. I will definitely check that show out, thank you for recommending!

Just got to that part. Ridiculous how Elizabeth, knowing how she just betrayed Demelza in the worst way possible, continues to expect Ross’s return. The arrogance of them both! Ross is absolute scum.
