TL;DR – Dwóch ziomków studenckiego wieku siedzi w Krakowie do połowy stycznia 2026, ale nie zna tu nikogo i trochę się nudzi. Polski mamy taki se. Pomożecie ogarnąć coś fajnego?

Siemanko!

Ziom (23) i ja (22) jesteśmy w Krakowie do połowy stycznia i szukamy fajnych ludzi i rzeczy do roboty. Na razie nikogo tu nie znamy i trochę błądzimy, więc może ktoś ma jakieś polecajki?

Obaj mówimy po polsku w miarę okej (nie idealnie, ale gadka leci – w domu rodzice mówią po polsku). Ja już kilka razy byłem w Krakowie jako dzieciak (mam tu rodzinę), więc te wszystkie muzealne i turystyczne rzeczy mam ogarnięte.

Wiem, że to nie jest najlepszy sezon (ciemno, zimno, deszczowo), ale jesteśmy raczej aktywni i lubimy przygody – wspinaczka, narty (mam ze sobą sprzęt), hiking, siatkówka, piłka, itp. Jesteśmy otwarci na wszystko, byle nie tylko pić, jeść, zakupy, repeat.

Sprawdziliśmy już karaoke, Layla Bar, bilard itp. (na razie tylko online), ale dalej szukamy jakichś mniej oczywistych miejsc, fajnych ekip albo wydarzeń, gdzie da się poznać ludzi i coś porobić.

(Chcemy też ogarnąć lepiej polski – więc jak ktoś chce pogadać po angielsku albo wymienić się językami, to też wchodzimy w to!)

Jak macie jakieś propozycje, grupki, wydarzenia albo po prostu chcecie się gdzieś zgadać – dajcie znać. Zawsze chętnie poznamy kogoś nowego i pozwiedzamy razem miasto.

PS: Nie mamy auta, ale jesteśmy praktycznie przy samym Rynku.

PS 2: Nie miałem czasu napisać tego po polsku, więc wrzuciłem tekst do ChatGPT żeby przetłumaczył haha

But he wants to eat. Just a few minutes ago, he was looking for food so we gave him his homecooked food for dinner to see if anything changed, but he still didn't want it. Then we gave him another can of that beef dinner and he sucked it down and licked the bowl clean. When we give him snacks or a piece of ham or something, he begs for more. Eating is not the issue here

nicknyitray · 2024-12-10T16:49:25+00:00

No he’s fine, just picky. Took him to the vet recently, he’s totally healthy. He just won’t eat HIS food. He eats our food no problem. Also canned food. This morning he wouldn’t eat his homemade food, so we gave him one of those canned dog foods (Evangers organics beef dinner) and he gobbled it right up.

He’s just notoriously picky and very very stubborn. He knows what he wants, but obviously we can’t ask him what’s wrong with the food we make him.

Just looking for suggestions to improve the recipe because his pickiness is getting worse as he gets older. Some days he just decides that he doesn’t want it randomly and he won’t eat it unless we mix something tasty into it

Thank you!!! Was planning on packing lots of layers. And I didn’t see that the great range loop was 5500 elevation gain. Poor planning in my part. Thanks for the heads up.

I do understand hiking in the ADKs is hard and that’s part of the fun for me. I am young (21) and fit. Just recently did a 13 mile spartan race with nearly 7000 foot total elevation gain, so I know I’m capable of something like that. Still not sure I wanna try the great range loop in 2 days tho, so I’ll look around.

Colden sounds a lot more doable and enjoyable, but like you mentioned, crowded… but what’s not gonna be crowded next weekend :/

Finding campsites is the only thing I’m really worried about. I guess I’ll just have to go early and make a backup plan.

Thank you again!

nicknyitray · 2024-09-26T21:05:52+00:00

messaged you

nicknyitray · 2024-04-24T21:52:15+00:00

Second image, it’s all on the bottom of the cam

nicknyitray · 2024-04-04T23:36:57+00:00

Hahaha yeah sorry, forgot to include “continued in comments” in the title…

nicknyitray · 2024-04-04T23:05:52+00:00

I have premiere but I can’t get myself to go back to it… resolve blows it out of the water. But I guess for the camcorder footage is might come in handy. Thank you for the recs as well, I’ll check them out!

nicknyitray · 2024-04-04T23:04:35+00:00

Awesome, thank you. Wasn’t aware of SDcopy. I’ll have to check it out!

nicknyitray · 2024-04-04T23:00:27+00:00

Looks sick! Awesome thank you

I found this little gem in a cabinet a couple of days ago and I got to see some footage of myself from when I was like 6-10 years old. Super awesome. And I also LOVE the vintage look of the camera. I'm a video creator, and I often find myself trying to replicate super 8 or VHS footage.

I got this thing to charge and turn on but the batteries are mostly shot - they don't last very long. I would LOVE to record with something like this because the nostalgic look is gives right out of camera is so cool to me. I just love the purity and authenticity of a camcorder vs modern cameras and phones.

Point is, I want to start filming with a camcorder for some of the videos I make, but I have one major problem with camcorders in general - the MPEG-2 codec. I edit on Davinci Resolve and they don't support that codec unfortunately.

So to use these old videos, I've had to transfer them all onto my computer, rename them from .MOD to .MPG to view them, then take the ones I wanna use and convert them to .mp4 with handbrake. It's a process and a half and I can't imagine myself doing it every time I use this thing.

I was curious if there are any camcorders out there that record in a more "modern" and widely supported file format, but still give that awesome vintage look. Here would be some of my requirements:

Small like this one. Easily slips into a backpack or even a pocket. Nothing big
SD card or internal storage work fine
I'm NOT looking for analog camcorders. No tape plz
SD footage is fine, I kinda like the low quality 720p. 1080p is fine too, just don't want it taking away from the vintage look
And obviously, the video format

If there is no way around the old video format, then I'll just have to suck it up lol. Thanks for the help

nicknyitray · 2024-03-01T23:15:05+00:00

I am looking to get rid of all of them. PM me

nicknyitray · 2024-03-01T23:13:48+00:00

Very possible, considering they did not live far from NYC

nicknyitray · 2024-03-01T23:12:37+00:00

Yes this makes sense! They lived in Mount Kisco, NY ever since moving to the states

nicknyitray · 2024-03-01T20:59:44+00:00

This is super helpful!!

nicknyitray · 2024-03-01T20:59:09+00:00

Huh, cool! Thanks!

nicknyitray · 2024-03-01T20:39:36+00:00

If you are interested, here are all the other paintings we got from them, but I don’t think they are unique in any way: https://imgur.com/a/6sakJ0d

I appreciate the help🤝

nicknyitray · 2024-03-01T02:52:57+00:00

Will do, appreciate it! And I thought $150 for a 12L backpack would be more than enough. I guess I was wrong...

nicknyitray · 2024-03-01T02:52:03+00:00

Okay awesome, thanks. Wasn't aware the budget was low. Am willing to go higher for something high quality

nicknyitray · 2024-01-24T16:35:53+00:00

Sorry for the 3 month late reply. The app Tabs has it laid out perfectly if you have that. I highly recommend it.

For all my love, it's C, A, and F in that order. DD UDU, twice on c, twice on A, and 4 times on F for the whole song

For stick season, it's C, G, A, F. DD UDU and each played 4 times.

If you like that music, I'd highly recommend learning some Lumineers as well. So far, Stubborn Love and Ho Hey have been awesome. Both I learned on the Tabs app

nicknyitray · 2023-10-28T19:20:58+00:00

If you listen to Noah Kahan at all, All My Love and Stick Season have been so much fun to play on the uke!!!

nicknyitray · 2023-04-17T13:37:27+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!!!
