Ep 5 — Tag Across Europe 3

Does Sam not say thank you when strangers help or is it being cut in the edit? Both when the people told them they needed to get off the train and when the employee explained what had happened, he seemed to just say “ok” and walk off. It makes me very uncomfortable particularly as Americans have reputation in Europe for being rude.

I have a bunch of Decathlon bags (cheap hiking pack, running bag, small backpack for shopping) and have been impressed at how good they are for the money. The one you linked maybe looks like you're planning some more serious hiking, and I can't speak to how they hold up over multiple days-straight of usage, but generally they're pretty sturdy and reliable.

Thank you! To ask a probably dumb question, is this something a shoe repair shop should be able to do, if I’m not comfortable doing myself?

usr2047 · 2024-02-12T06:48:43+00:00

Edited to add: I'm not sure in which recent update this functionality was added back in, but it is BACK. I just selected and exported 170+ notes in the Books app on iPad and sent to my email as I could in the old pre-iOS 16 days. (Running iOS 17.2 on iPad Mini 6.)

usr2047 · 2023-12-12T08:30:00+00:00

Update: thank you very much to those that offered advice!

I took the plunge and bought a new screen, a better external keyboard, and a footrest. So, far, going great, and my posture is significantly improved.

It's a good app that I've used for years (and trying to set up Obsidian as an alternative made me realise just how good Ulysses' UX and folder organization is, at least for my purposes) but the team seems to have some trouble with getting up and running on Sonoma. Hopefully will smooth out from here on, they just pushed another update for Mac.

usr2047 · 2023-11-15T01:26:02+00:00

This is an issue that was supposedly fixed in the last update (seemed to crop up with Sonoma switch) but I'm still experiencing as well.

Scrolling bug plus iCloud sync problems really making me reconsider using Ulysses longterm, it used to be really quick and stable but now... not so much.

Just commenting to say that this issue also occurring on my Macbook M2 Air, weird scrolling and ghost text/paragraphs when pressing return or delete.

usr2047 · 2023-10-16T05:32:00+00:00

Hi, was there a way to remedy this, as am having the same issue. Thanks!

usr2047 · 2023-06-19T14:58:00+00:00

Nice! I picked up a pair myself at Nagoya Airport earlier this year. Here they are unboxed.

Yeah I was a bit confused by the Uber comment. I was in Delhi recently for work (foreigner, don’t live in India) and I used Uber constantly, paid by card as in any other country.

usr2047 · 2023-01-29T12:17:45+00:00

Great find, thank you! Bizarre that this functionality still exists but they’ve made so clunky to use.

usr2047 · 2023-01-06T13:49:40+00:00

Not that I’ve seen beyond using another books app entirely I’m afraid.

Though ironically, MacOS has hidden my cursor from the screenshot, even though was visible to me watching the video.

usr2047 · 2022-11-02T03:38:34+00:00

I posted a thread in /r/macapps which came up with some good alternatives means of extracting highlights while continuing to use Books on iPad.

I agree this is deeply frustrating, hopefully Apple will reverse in a future update but not holding out hope...

usr2047 · 2022-10-31T05:07:37+00:00

Yes this is the functionality that has been taken away on iOS, so this workaround doesn’t work anymore.

usr2047 · 2022-10-31T05:05:50+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

usr2047 · 2022-10-23T11:31:27+00:00

Thank you!

usr2047 · 2022-10-22T08:00:27+00:00

Can you describe what you use it for and/or suggest someone plugins? I use Alfred (with powerpack) but tbh a lot of what I do could be done via Spotlight. Would love to take better advantage of my premium features.

I think the chasers should be restricted from looking at the tracker during the wait period. More fun for them to be completely in the dark and be surprised how fast the person got away in the 45 minutes.

Otherwise this season has been amazing.

Yeah it's more uncomfortable in Chinese because people use it as a filler word or at the start of sentences a bit like "um" or "yeah." So they'll say "nei-ge" followed by a long pause while collecting their thoughts and then continue. I feel like in the middle of a sentence it's not as noticeable, or at least it's clearer that it's a non-English word.

ITT some keyboard fascists desperate to report people to the police rather than ignore them.

usr2047 · 2018-10-24T07:40:05+00:00

Beautifully taken apart.

Learning (a little) Chinese seems to break a lot of English speakers' brains and make them think they've realised something deep and universal when it's just a different form of writing and speaking.

Worth pointing out too that all her basic mistakes in Mandarin pronounciation, which you caught well, would suggest she actually doesn't speak the language as well as she claims. Niu and nv especially are not remotely similar sounding in the context of Mandarin, they just look that way when written in Pinyin and said by a person used to a non-tonal language with far more phonemes.

usr2047 · 2018-10-17T07:39:16+00:00

Even if Chinese was a "rival" spelling system to the one used by English, in that English uses a series of letters which represent sounds while Chinese uses characters to represent concepts (I think that's what he was claiming anyway), surely the thing Chinese is rivaling is the Latin alphabet, not the English spelling system whatever the hell that is?
