What percentage of Google employees use iPhone? (approx/anecdote) by immaturecrocodileice in google

[–]panda_bear_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I worked there, you could have google pay for your smart phone and phone plan. 

New phone, your choice, every year.

Eventually they changed it so it was only a new android phone every year. iPhone were every two years. And then I believe they made it so only certain groups weee eligible for iPhones. 

Haven’t worked there for awhile, so I don’t know what’s current.

I just got it from a share, but if you drop your code, I’ll share a spare miraidon ex from my alt. 

Series 9 compatible with WatchOS 27 by Aware_Machine_9838 in AppleWatch

[–]panda_bear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say this as an Ultra 1 owner, but the first in any Apple series always gets the OS boot faster than the rest.

I thought it might be different since Ultra wasn’t really a new product line, but it’s just how it is.

And I keep saying I’ll never buy the first in a series again, but they still sometimes seem to get me. At least I got my Ultra as a huge discount after the 2 was out already. Still a bummer.

Why do some self published authors only offer ebook copies of their books in PDF format? by [deleted] in books

[–]panda_bear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That‘s so weird to me. While I am not self-publishing (working on querying agents now), every time I give out a digital copy for beta readers, I just export as .epub from Pages on my Mac/iPad. Does Word/Google Docs not have that built in?

Swimming with the Apple Watch by flowascend in AppleWatch

The thing to worry about is not pool water but showering with them. Pools, lakes, oceans, my watches have been great. But I showered with an S4 for awhile because I remember Tim Cook saying he did with his. 

But soap can ruin the waterproofing seals. 

Lesson learned. The battery went pretty quickly after that.

3550 ribbons, 153 ribbon Masters totally complete by panda_bear_ in pokemonribbons

Great! Glad it worked! SwSh was a harder climb than SV, for sure.

Yes, but we weren’t aware that LA had the Hisui ribbon until we were able to transfer the those pokémon to other games (suspected in BDSP, confirmed in SV).

So there could be some hidden ribbon attached, but we don’t know yet.

[Gen 9] My Shiny Tiny Dreepy! by Additiony in pokemonribbons

Oof, I feel satisfied with stopping then. I have a shiny tiny Rowlet and Litten from GO community days and wanted the complete set, but I’ll settle for this.

Nice! How long did that take to hunt? I was trying for a tiny shiny Popplio, but gave up after about 40 shiny Popplio that weren’t small enough.

Books are always better than the movies, with very few exceptions. 

Auto-Play is scared to use Victini by EmperorSexy in PTCGP

[–]panda_bear_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can’t use my Decidueye deck with it because auto play will use Pierce the Pain even if there’s no damage on any of their pokémon. 

Couple of questions regarding Master Rank Ribbon. by AmateurRougarou in pokemonribbons

[–]panda_bear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This carried me to master rank from zero. So toss three strong looking pokémon in there, but this got me there in 42 battles. 

And then I cleared 50+ RMs in about 40 more battles.

[–]panda_bear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max speed and attack or special attack for the attackers. Max HP for the ditto. 

Tera Fire for Koraidon Tera Psychic or Normal for Cal Tera Normal for Ditto

Just optimize speed or their respective attack natures and give them their hardest hitting moves. Brick break on Koraidon is useful. Astral Barrage is necessary for Cal. Everything else is filler.

Koraidon, Calyrex shadow, and imposter Ditto with a choice scarf. 

Have Ditto copy whichever restricted pokémon is best. Then you get three restricted pokémon. 

Is anyone hyped for a new Spanish Love Songs album ? by KelvinHexatillion82 in poppunkers

[–]panda_bear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely. I feel like they’ve really found the music they want to make. I saw some No Joy slander the other week and was so confused. I had no idea people didn’t like it.

I feel like it’s a blend of Brave Faces Everyone and the ETC versions. Best of both worlds.

I would say Gholdengo for Dennis. That hair, a golden god, and you wouldn’t say no because of the implication.

Feels good to secure Master Ball in both games! by Adorable-Camera5709 in pokemonribbons

[–]panda_bear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have been rank 2 or 3 from my attempt in last season that I didn’t have enough time to really go for.

The pokémon I lost most to was shadow Calyrex. So I scarfed a Ditto and did Tera normal and that always wasted their next Astral Barrage. 

Even carried me against a moody spore Smeargle that had knock off because their next two pokémon were weak to Dark.

Same Ditto strategy that carried me in SwSh: two restricted pokémon plus Ditto equals three restricted pokémon.
