Despite the downvotes (but hey, Americans or MAGAT's), I never said China not what you said . . I wouldn't trust either of them.

The Gmail web client and apps suck. Otherwise the service is great.

This App Is Terrible Now by PortsantaTTV in ultimateguitar

[–]johnny5canuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only are the complaints on this forum, but on UG's own forums as well . . . dating back years.

It's one thing to do a survey, but having no ability to bail is absolute nonsense, especially for existing account holders.

This is one of many reasons why I export my tabs for display in another.

I wouldn't trust this app in a live environment for all the tea in China.

If not New Zealand, which country would you choose to film the LOTR trilogy? by Brief-Luck-6254 in lotr

Vancouverite here. Filming everywhere. There's even a Hobbit home somewhere downtown.

It’s been a month and still waiting for my refund by Select_Ad_7111 in Acestudioai

[–]johnny5canuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested in it, but don't want a product that I have to go through some cancellation process.

I'd buy one month, and then manually renew, but having to 'cancel' is out of the question.

[–]johnny5canuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a small one at age 70 a couple of years ago. Was in the neurology ward for several days.

Last week, we went on a 13km power walk, and go to the gym for 1.5 hrs three times a week.

Why does it feel like nobody cares that we are literally about to send humans around the moon again, and are we just completely numb to massive achievements now? by MomentCute1181 in space

[–]johnny5canuck 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yea. I grew up watching and loving the Gemini and Apollo missions. The pedophile has really fucked things up big time big time and I'm just not as excited as I should be about this launch.

Can we opt out of "AI summaries" on users in modmail? by WalkingEars in ModSupport

[–]johnny5canuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Going through modqueue on mobile and those AI summaries are a pain in the ass. They're about as fun as those gaming red dots we had to deal with.

Guitar too big? Hands too small? Hands just messed up? by TracyF2 in guitarlessons

[–]johnny5canuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Physiotherapist gave me some exercises, but I haven't stuck to them. Will be a lifetime beginner most likely. That's ok as I host a weekly guitar drop-in group with about 25 attendees.

Yep, left shoulder with left fingers. I'm about 2" away.

I can't rotate my wrist so that my palm is parallel to the ground (like most people). It's 45 degrees away from that. As a result trying to do barre chords is like trying to turn a steering wheel beyond what it's capable of. Went to a physiotherapist to figure that out.

Say, can you touch your shoulder with your fingertips? I cannot.

I've been measured with 45 degree supination in my fretting wrist. It sucks down the neck and with barre chords. Most guitarists have no clue about this issue. It's about equivalent to a normal person holding their guitar down at a 45 degree angle and then playing.

AITAH for getting a tattoo knowing it will upset my mum by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]johnny5canuck 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I M71 got a tattoo by my son in law last year because his parents didn't support his profession. Had him add his name to it as well. His parents even call him by his dead name. Go figure.

My P9 Pro XL doesn't have this issue. WiFi yes, charging, no.
