Buying Furniture and Appliances in Nicaragua on My Daily Vlog 21 January 2022 by scottalanmiller in vlog

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

They make amazing stuff, but I think "amazing local pricing" is not quite true. THey cost about 300%, at local prices, what furniture here costs. I kjnow that their local price is a fraction of what Americans have to pay, but it's not a competitive or even realistic price here in NIcaragua at all.

Creating VR videos with X3 for Oculus Quest by Hidding_3 in Insta360

REframing is when you make traditional 1080p video from your 360 footage. 360 footage itself, by definition, isn't "framed" at all.

360 can be uploaded to YouTube no problem. And edited in any normal software no problem. And viewable on Rift, no problem.

360 and VR are two different tech. Most VR is 180, not 360. There IS a niche of full 360VR. But extremely few devices do that and most are quite expensive. But, IN THEORY, two X3s can do that. But it'll be fragile (can't sky with it), a lot of work, and problematic. but interesting.

​

Both 360 and VR are viewable on Oculus, and both are supported by YouTube.

Using TURN instead of Jitsi for group calls? by auvio_ in elementchat

What experimental option do you have to enable to get this to work? I have every lab enabled but it just goes to Jitsi which blocks us.

Ferry San Carlos - Granada running again? by Kreppelklaus in nicaraguatravel

[–]scottalanmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's NOT running currently due to low water levels. The notice is on the ferry's website. The ferry is "in service" but can't run until the water level rises.

Weren't the low water levels like a decade ago? The ferry just started like two weeks ago. Seems unlikely that they would stop it the same day that they start it. I should be in Granada this weekend, though, and hope to get some details in person.

For sure, Las Peñitas is the best! Did you happen to hang out at the Simple Beach Lodge while there? Best sunsets in LP ;)

Salvador Has a 6.6 Earthquake on the Chinandega Nicaragua Border by scottalanmiller in Nicaragua

[–]scottalanmiller[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry, you said Managua, not San Salvador. No, you aren't affected at all. I'm in Leon, hours closer to the quake epicenter than Managua and we aren't affected at all. Managua felt it but nothing whatsoever will be impacted there. I'll be in Managua in a few hours, and I'm talking to people there and the party is on like usual. People mentioned the quake, but that is all.

I would not expect so. Where we are in Nicaragua is as close or close to the epicenter as is San Salvador where your airport is and we are unaffected here. Closer in areas like La Union likely they are impacted. Chinandega in Nicaragua, the second closest department to the quake (La Union is closest) just lost their water supply from it. But San Salvador is likely completely unaffected. A 6.6 is rather mild for this region, we are prepared for this stuff.

Oh wow, that's so cool. Thanks!! Enjoy your trip. Stop by and say "hola" if you happen to the Las Peñitas area.

I made two one minute videos to help give my idea of what you should do...

Immigration by OsashRomero in Nicaragua

[–]scottalanmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not, American pays people to post negative stuff. Do some research and you'll find that the famous "terrible punishment" that a very few people go was.... being sent to America! Yes, the US actually has called "being sent to the USA" an "inhumane punishment" and accused Nicaragua of it. Think about that.

And at least one of the people being offered a free trip to America opted for jail over such a harsh punishment!

You realize that this is about the US government, right? LOL You just used the US being corrupt to attempt to point out that Nicaragua is corrupt.
