“The Soundtrack to the movie of my life” by Friendly. At least that’s what I imagined as a teenager lol.

It doesn’t have ads if you use a kids profile, even on the main client. I’ve been using the unified interface on Apple TV for almost a year now. Nothing is really changing.

Ooh I had that. Now my kids play with it. I hope you get one eventually. It’s still awesome!

Thanks. I’ve found that once it is stable I just don’t bother with updates. I have to reboot the system maybe once every six months.

I am aware of and interested in home assistant and may make the switch when I move to a bigger residence. I do like the idea of having most of the logic on the HA side instead of having to script it all on the HomeKit side, which is just clunky and lacks any real backup options.

But homebridge has worked well for my first foray into home automation, and is pretty good for relatively simple setups.

Homebridge is a way to get non-HomeKit devices into HomeKit. It’s what I am using for most of my stuff. It works pretty well in my opinion.

All airplanes are still using leaded fuels

Jet fuel doesn’t contain lead. Only the avgas used by smaller planes with piston engines.

Still, it’s unbelievable that this fuel is still being used in 2024!

Let’s say for arguments sake the original price was 10. Now say you wanted to buy three, but there was only two choices: 10 each, or 2 for 16. Then you would end up paying 26. But with 3 for 24 it is still saving you money.

I see. Yeah, consommé is the most prominent stock in the supermarkets, followed by chicken, and like you said beef. I’ve never used pork broth myself, but I wonder if this is what you’re looking for.

Japan doesn't have pork broth. (Biggest culture shock for me)

As in ramen? Have you ever been to Kyushu? These things are regional.

tatemae is the romanisation. It is your public attitude, which may be different to your real attitude (hon’ne).

I’m a permanent resident of Japan and am raising a family here. I think you would get better responses if you posed more specific questions, or provided examples of what kind of misunderstandings people have experienced and posted about online.

I find Japan a pleasant place to live, but it is far from perfect, just like any society. The cost of living is quite reasonable compared to many other countries, which makes the lower salaries go further.

People are generally friendly, but you sometimes have to read between the lines, as people tend to be less direct so as to avoid confrontation (“It is a little difficult” is a polite way to say “No!” for example).

Anyway, if you have any other questions I’ll be around.

Where I live,the majority of exhaust vents are placed on exterior walls. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for you. Just be sure to have some kind of weather guard on there to stop rain getting in (basically, the slats on the vent cover should point downwards).

No worries. I do understand. A new phone is on the shopping list anyway. This can be a good reason to make the purchase!

That sucks. Some of us can’t afford to upgrade to a newer device, so therefore we can’t update iOS. I would urge you to reconsider.

Super 8?

Wow, what a scam!

Just speculation but perhaps it would be easy for credit card criminals to steal money quickly? Steal a card. Tap to pay. Use the funds to buy Amazon gift card or whatever. Ditch the apple account. Rinse and repeat.

I played around a bit more to reproduce it. I might depend on the particular image. This time I could reproduce it by:

Double tapping to zoom in. Double tapping (or was it triple) to zoom out. Swipe from right to left.

Thanks for the update.

In the image viewer, quickly swiping left or right after opening the image zooms the image in to a very high level. Is that expected behaviour?

Thanks for the big update. Just noticed that links to communities using the !xxx@xxx format are not loading, and actually opening the email client. So I guess they are somehow being interpreted as email addresses. The initial exclamation mark is not the same color as the link.
