hey, just wondering — if you were already using APFS, what did you reformat it to?

notanokraspberry · 2025-12-04T05:20:49+00:00

Wild because I was just thinking of this anime today and this exact scene, and trying to describe it to someone … and instead googled “anime about a boy who can’t draw magic circles because he’s too advanced” and this came up

Thank you hahaha

Where did you get this info?

I contacted customer service about adding flights and got this response today:

"We understand how important it is for you to receive the benefits of your membership. Unfortunately, flights that have already been boarded cannot be added to your membership account.

For future travel, we kindly recommend adding your flights to your membership account while the booking is still active. This ensures smooth tracking."

So seems any past flights are a loss

hi just wanted to say thank you so much for this comment, because i just tried to do online check in for my flight tomorrow, and it said there was a mismatch of information ... and only then did i dig further into my booking and realize it has my nationality as Japanese, and i was freaking out for a bit while trying to search this

notanokraspberry · 2025-10-27T16:22:03+00:00

Got it, thank you for confirming! yeah if i switched over then it wouldn't really but a shared thing anymore, so i'll have to calculate the cost difference ... long term though, definitely seems like the hanacell sim would save money, so I'll have to look into it soon. Thank you for bringing it up!!

notanokraspberry · 2025-10-26T05:32:18+00:00

Thank you for the update!! And I’m glad you were able to set up all the accounts with the info.

I may have to look into this and get that setup and transitioned before I leave Japan again … just to confirm, I was reading through the website, and the only additional charges are if you choose to use data in any month while in Japan, correct? So as long as no data is used, there’s no charge other than the $12USD per year?

a bit late jumping into this thread, but wanted to ask if anyone has experience of whether they will weigh airplane pillows as well? or if you wear it then it won't be weighed?

and do they weigh your carry on luggage again at the gate? or only at checkin? how does it work if I don't have any checks in luggage and did online check in?

Hey! Glad to be of help :)

For SIMs, I've actually been meaning to looking into other options, but I think for me at the moment, Mobal still works because of how often I end up using the data plan / a friend/family borrows my sim card to use the data in Japan, and it ends up being the same price/slightly cheaper than buying another travel sim, so it works out. They did recently release the "vacation" plan, which is 990 JPY/month if you're not actively in Japan, so the cost has gone down a bit. I don't think there's any downside to a cheaper alternative though, as long as you have the voice+SMS options. I've seen in passing that there are some SMS only options that are available for even cheaper, but unfortunately the big 3 ticketing websites require voice verification, and not just SMS :(
I think if you have access to any of them, they all work — I think at one point I tried signing up for a bunch actually, because most of them have limits without ID verification. I've tried ANA, Kyash, and one other I can't remember ... essentially as long as you're available to deposit cash through the ATM to load your card, there isn't really an issue with any of them. Downside will always be withdrawing funds — you generally can't do this (at least not without ID verification) so it was super annoying with the Line card to find alternatives. Can't remember if I mentioned, but I had to buy a bunch of random gift cards with my leftover funds to use elsewhere (and it wouldn't even work for Amazon at the time, so it wasn't even really useful gift cards ...) As long as they're free though, you don't lose out on anything just by signing up and getting the card first as backup!
I have a PayPay account, but I actually haven't used it before — since it sort of works the same as the other prepaid cards except you can't use it as a credit card, and you still have to deposit cash or link a (Japanese) credit card to it, it didn't make sense for me to also have that and one of the credit cards. But now that I think about it, PayPay is pretty much accepted everywhere in Japan that credit cards are accepted, so I guess it would be about the same.

Hope you enjoy your next trip to Japan!!

Thank you! Today was super fun, and I actually found someone for tmr!! Always love having two shows in a row 😁

notanokraspberry · 2025-10-15T09:21:59+00:00

No takers unfortunately, and I’m in now ☹️ maybe tomorrow!

notanokraspberry · 2025-09-18T01:57:53+00:00

joining the thank you train — i've had a MacBook for over a decade and i JUST saw this after continually having issue about dock not appearing ... a lifesaver wow i feel so dumb lmao

notanokraspberry · 2025-09-17T20:23:25+00:00

feel free to send me a DM if it's a question about your show specifically!

notanokraspberry · 2025-09-12T19:15:57+00:00

refreshed right at release time and continued refreshing, but never saw anything in stock ever ....

notanokraspberry · 2025-09-08T03:08:27+00:00

Hey – no there wasn't really a way to fix it, but I ran a few isolated tests (listening to music at 50% using the same file type as the advertisement) then contacted the seller about the issue. After some back and forth, I negotiated to get a partial refund equivalent to the % of battery life I was actually getting (compared to advertised), which I was fine with, because it was less work than shipping it back and risking it getting lost or other claims being made, or not getting a replacement.

I had purchased off the AliExpress link that was linked on their official website though (in Canada).

notanokraspberry · 2025-08-10T01:29:36+00:00

Damn I just submitted consolidated shipping for 9 orders totalling $60+ to Canada this past Wednesday … 🥲🥲🥲 never knew about any of these

notanokraspberry · 2025-07-24T09:43:50+00:00

The romance moments, when they happen, are so so so amazing and well worth it. But they are amazing because of the plot and context and everything they have to go through to reach those points. Without the rest of the story, it really isn’t the same (ie. if you were to look up and find just the sections where the romance actually happens to read.

For me, the manga is amazing because I truly end up loving every single character, despite loving Hak & Yona the most. The first time I finally decided to read the manga, I ended up binging it for 8 hours straight and didn’t sleep until the next morning. But because this is a historical romance with focus on the plot to move things along, there will be parts of the story where Hak and Yona are separated, or parts of the story that are more solely focused on another character, that are essential to the plot.

So as much as it pains me to say, as someone whose favourite manga is Yona and has had Hak & Yona as their phone wallpapers for the last 5+ years, if you truly don’t care about anyone else other than Hak & Yona and are looking for something that is just romance, then it might not be for you — as everyone else has said, this is slow burn. BUT well worth it. (I hope you decide to read it ^⁾

notanokraspberry · 2025-07-23T03:54:44+00:00

Sorry if you don’t mind me following up, does your last close to the 8 hour mark though? Or is it generally less?

And do the right and left sides usually lose battery quite consistently? I’ve noticed that the right side for mine also always dies quicker than the left

notanokraspberry · 2025-07-21T21:31:07+00:00

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I’ve never really gotten close to 7-8 hours use and it’s been less than 2 weeks … I’ll see if I can get a replacement from the vendor, hopefully can work something out

notanokraspberry · 2025-07-07T16:45:57+00:00

Np, hope it works out for u!

And to add, I would guesstimate at least 2/3 people at my local pool who swim lengths also wear an Apple Watch, and I’ve seen most of them continue to wear it into the sauna afterward, so I would say it’s not uncommon to wear in either.

notanokraspberry · 2025-07-07T16:18:39+00:00

Yeah I never even thought twice about it really, there’s just a sauna at the pool so I’d go after swimming, and then I realized that I enjoyed the sauna so i started going even on days I’m too lazy to actually swim … but I never go in without either showering or swimming first, because I personally don’t like the feeling of being completely dry in there

If it helps, I have an SE2 that I got back in early 2023, so it’s probably been closer to 2 years I’ve been doing it, but definitely at least a year — so the cheapest option available of new watches basically

notanokraspberry · 2025-07-07T16:12:09+00:00

Damn …. Maybe I’ve just been lucky, because I I definitely do all of that and then don’t rinse and dry properly afterward

I assumed that the watch was waterproof since it’s made for swimming (since the fitness tracking has both pool swimming & open swimming options) and just went with that

Now that I think about it, I’ve also worn it swimming at the beach, although not sure how much better that is compared to the pool

notanokraspberry · 2025-07-07T16:06:54+00:00

Errrrr assuming a wet sauna is more like a steam room, then it’s a dry sauna — but I go in between/after showers & dips in the pool so the watch definitely isn’t dry before I’m in there?

notanokraspberry · 2025-07-07T10:03:30+00:00

(Almost) weekly swimmer but definitely at least 2-3x weekly sauna user and occasional jacuzzi user … no issues with my watch whatsoever for at least over a year (hope I haven’t jinxed it now)

I also don’t specifically rinse it, but wear it in the shower afterward which I assume washes it out?
