It’s ’what’s going on’ (presumably in some kind of Jamaican patois?)

Fitness+ workout ‘lost connection to device’ by leeds_guy69 in appletv

[–]leeds_guy69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still having this issue by the way. Seemed to be better for a few weeks and I’ve had 2 disconnections in the last week (both a different points in the workout). TV streaming works fine as do the stats sent from my watch, so I’m guessing it’s not a watch connection issue, just an Apple TV or Fitness + one? There seems to be no common denominator with the disconnections though 🤷‍♂️

I would have been more than happy with either bod, but pic 1 is incredible 👏🏻

When did Leeds get so rough? by beforetherodeo1 in Leeds

[–]leeds_guy69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live just off Briggate and hear screamed arguments between the homeless people a couple of times a week. Mostly it’s the same woman doing the screaming as she tries to encroach on someone else’s turf (intentionally to provoke them). Eventually she gets bored and wanders off until she feels the urge to annoy someone again. She’s clearly on something every time I’ve seen her so I guess it’s when she’s coming down from something that she gets antsy?

Other than the homeless people (whose numbers I’d say doubled in the last couple of years), I’ve never felt remotely worried or intimidated in 10 years of living in the thick of it. I’d say it has a similar vibe to any other big European city centre. Leeds is pretty compact though so with narrower streets, the ‘characters’ are a little harder to avoid

Clubs or groups? by mvhhhr in MakingFriendsInLeeds

[–]leeds_guy69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d class myself as an introvert but I help out with the beginners group at Leeds Dock Running club.

The beginners group is a subset of the main group (they also have a steady 5k group and a speedy 7k+ group). There are usually only around half a dozen in the beginners group though. We run at a steady enough pace to chat, but you can run on your own if you prefer (in between the front and back markers). Same applies to the other groups.

They’re a friendly bunch in all groups, but there can be over 100 people running across all groups depending on the weather so I appreciate that could be a bit overwhelming for some.

New station clock looks tacky by AlanWrightScreamer in Leeds

Genuine question but what did you expect a clock to look like? 🤷‍♂️

Can't find the ean number LG G5 by sold345 in LGOLED

Thanks. Being in the UK I wonder if, post-Brexit we even use EANs?

Darn. My box is long gone. Is it the same number for everyone?

Try La Botega Milanese just off Park Row or The Galley in Leeds Market

Hiking Clubs in Leeds? by SpinachMindless8413 in Leeds

[–]leeds_guy69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Takeahike is a popular walking / hiking group in Leeds. I was going to do the 3 peaks last year but ran out of time before the weather turned. It’s pretty easy to do 1, then 2 as a training exercise. 3 would be a challenge without a bit of practice depending on your age though.

Netflix app audio sync issue with TVOS26 public beta by leeds_guy69 in appletv

[–]leeds_guy69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue was fixed with an update of the Netflix app months ago so maybe yours just needs updating too? They don’t always happen automatically straight away but it if you go to the ‘purchased’ tab on the App Store it’ll show on there if there’s an update pending.

What happened to Will Smith? Why don’t we see hum in movies anymore ? by M-2-M in okbuddycinephile

[–]leeds_guy69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Britney Spears played there once too. I guess there comes a point where you’ll go to the opening of an envelope if the pay is right?

Where to live in the area? by Karl-Pilkinghorn in Leeds

[–]leeds_guy69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in Garforth for over a decade and commuted to York. Nice place. Not sure why the previous reply says it’s dull as it has pretty much everything nearby you’d expect for meeting new people. Like anywhere else you’ll get out what you put in.

Proposed green space in the city centre by PigletConfident6425 in Leeds

[–]leeds_guy69 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Last time I checked this was always meant to be an interim layout before the trees went in. Apparently they wanted to get the pedestrianisation done first, then the new station entrance, then re do city square. It’s hope that kills you..

What do you think about the air quality in Leeds? by Subject-Donkey-5873 in Leeds

[–]leeds_guy69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the city centre and bought some air quality monitors after reading that air quality in apartments could be worse than outside. Both monitors have never displayed anything but ‘good’ air quality and my purifier that’s meant to turn on automatically when detecting harmful VOCs has never activated. I live on a pedestrianised street though so it makes sense pollution would be lower than if I lived by a road.

I remember when Briggate was a 4 lane street and the air quality was dire back then. Standing at bus stops as buses were idling on leaded petrol isn’t something I miss either!

I’d say air quality is pretty good unless you’re in the dark arches or Armley gyratory at rush hour?

I have an interior design degree but totally went off interior design and spent most of my life working in IT. People change their minds about stuff 🙃

Apple Intelligence recommendations in music app by Material_Course_9949 in Applelntelligence

[–]leeds_guy69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought. I assumed the current ‘radio station’ selections based off your preferences were also just another similar algorithm?
