So, I've always primarily streamed TV on my iPad, and this has never been a problem because I really only used one streaming source that I split with my sister. Well, the past few years some friends have offered to go halvies with me on some other streaming sites, so now I have several in rotation I can watch. And now my 32 gig 7th gen iPad (OS 16.4) isn't enough. I've deleted as much "media" off my iPad as possible (no photos, no files - I have no idea what is taking up so much media space), but it and apps are still taking up so much room that I'm constantly near full on space and having to offload apps to be able to keep at least one or two apps usable. I have to offload every app in order to do updates. The only apps I have left are the ones iPad won't let me offload, safari, youtube, and streaming ones. I don't have any games or anything on here.
I just recently bought this iPad after my old one got so slow it became unusable. I had no idea 32 gigs wouldn't be enough because it was more than my old one, which never gave me any problems.
I would also rather keep streaming to my iPad because it's just more handy. The iPad is portable. I can take it with me wherever around my apartment or traveling. Also, if I don't use it, I won't use it for anything else and that'd be an annoying waste of money. Is there any way to make this iPad more streaming-friendly?
I do have a lil 21" TV that was a gift for college more than 10 years ago. If I bought something like a fire stick or roku, is there any way I could cast from the TV to the iPad? If I bought an SD card, could I store some apps on there?
Appreciate any advice.

I am nearing a 1500 streak, and I find myself tiptoe-ing through exercises, switching languages—anything—to avoid triggering the “you earned 15 minutes double xp”. My subconscious is saying, “you’re not the boss of me! I do 15 minutes when I want!” How perverse is that? Haha!

Hey y’all! I’m a recent college grad (23). I wasn’t selected for the fraternity of my choice as an undergraduate. I attempted twice and it was tacitly communicated to me that it was because of my sexuality despite meeting all other criteria.
I am still holding onto my dream of pursuing membership as this has been a lifelong dream of mine. I’m concerned with even attempting to attend events by a local grad chapter given my past experiences. I know organizations vary by chapter. But if I was not selected in undergrad by men in my age range (18-22) because I’m openly queer, then will older men in a graduate chapter even consider me? Ultimately, I just don’t want to waste my time in pursuing membership again if it will be futile.

I would like to start a discussion about the constitutionality of a policy in Ohio:
Years ago, I was mailed a letter telling me to render a Proof of Insurance showing coverage, within a set date range, to the State of Ohio. If I failed to produce proof of insurance, the letter said that I would be charged with a criminal offense of "Driving without insurance".
This seems to me like the most textbook case of a Fifth Amendment violation - asking me to produce evidence against myself. Also, this letter was not the result of the investigation of a crime - I was randomly selected to provide proof that I DIDN'T commit a crime.
Also, I would argue that this placed an undue burden on me as, at the time, I was 18 and only just above the poverty line: I had to spend valuable time, money, and fuel to print these documents at a public library, buy stamps and envelopes, and pay for the use of a printer.
Can anyone explain how this is legal?

I have 54 polishes I'm destashing from brands like wildflower lacquer, bkl, nailed it, Holo taco, enchanted polish and more and I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to come buy them all for a good deal before I go through the pain of trying to sell and ship them individually 😂 I'd be willing to sell them for 150. Most of them are new. If you live near enough to Harrisonville Missouri please pm me if you're interested! I know it's a long shot but I'd love to just get these off my hands fast lol.

Pizza is good if you aren’t looking for a structured sit-down dinner centred around speeches or formal procedures.
Guests are more likely to mingle if they are in a queue or leaving their table to retrieve food. Mobile pizza catering gets guests up and about which can be a welcome relief if they are at a function for a long period of time with not much ability to stretch their legs or meet others.
Pizza can be presented in upmarket and creative ways. Our mobile pizza catering is often the choice for Brides looking for a post-reception breakfast get together. It’s also a great choice for bucks events like post golf or sailing. We can advise on presentation ideas for great impact if you have a special event.

Hello,
I once was a very logical, non-mystical realist known to man - then, I started noticing that after my most tragic occurrences that I get almost a stronger psychic sense and then over time it fades only to re-emerge oncw another majotragic event rears it’s head.
In High School I had a professor who once ran undercover and potentially CIA who once conducted an experiment wherein he had a photograph face down and we all tried to draw what was on the photo. One by one everyone gave depictions that weren’t even remotely accurate. I drew an old man, crouched over feeding birds in a park.
The teacher then flipped the picture showing me the exact scenario that I concocted stunning the professor and generating amusement from classmates.
Afterwords the professor commented on my accuracy and gave several follow-up questions gauging my (honestly thought to be b.s. ability).
This happened after I experienced a major nearly fatal car accident, and the death of a major family member. I wonder if trama is almost a conductor for psychic abilities; if there is anything to my theory idk.
Thanks for reading,

Finished volume 5 this weekend and I'm about to start the last one, The Sun Sword. Pat's review of the first one intrigued me enough to give this series a shot and I've been unable to put the books down. If not for the fact that I couldn't afford to buy them all at the same time, I'd already be done with the entire series.
It's Erikson's worldbuilding meets Hobb's characterization. The first half of the first volume is slow-going and a little hard to get into, but once you go through that the rest is amazing!
Based on the quality of her books, not sure why Michelle West is not better known.
Here's the reviews of the first 5 books if this post has piqued your curiosity:

I am a Canadian and this was my first time watching Eurovison. Why did I watch Eurovison? Well, I am Croatian (born and raised in Canada) and I saw who won the Dora festival and I had to see where it went. I wanted to wait to post this to let my thoughts settle and not get caught up with the internet over the winner of the contest.
Before I dive in I want to say that I love Eurovison as a contest, it is such a cool way to bring Europe (and Australia?) together. My music taste is… interesting. I listen to Croatian music, but not the mainstream stuff. My favourite band is Tonci Hujlic i Madre Badessa and all of Tonci’s stuff is unique and I love it. I can also play multiple instruments and took music classes for a long time.
I loved this competition, especially all of the unique entries. By unique I mean not a standard pop song.
I also like all of the pre-parties and interviews surrounding the contest. I feel like I learned a lot about Europe from the little that I followed.
Just curious, why are there 26 songs in the final? That is way too many songs to remember and the ones at the beginning of the night get forgotten.
I want to leave you with a ranking and my thoughts. (And some of my dad’s, it was his first time watching as well) It got really hard for me to rank 15 and up… my top 10 keeps on changing.
I thought an outsiders view, without any previous contest knowledge would be interesting to some of you.
Songs that made me uncomfortable:

1. San Marino – ‘smell you like an animal’ No thank you. The song doesn’t even rhyme.
   
2. Romania – The staging made me uncomfortable because it felt unnecessary.
   

Song I straight up didn’t like:

1. Demark – I hate that electronic voice. And it sounds worse live.

Songs that were meh:

1. Azerbaijan – Song was boring (Kudos to the bass player who kept on playing after his strap came off)
   
2. Ireland – liked the message but the song we just boring (My dad: Journey called, they want their song back)
   
3. Poland – I find her voice annoying
   
4. Greece – Nothing special, just a standard pop song
   

Average
30 – Lithuania - nothing special, nothing stood out but nothing was bad. Maybe it was a bit repetitive.

1. UK – it’s an average pop song with a good message
   
2. Georgia – This song has it’s good moments, but some of the lyrics don’t make sense ("thing is now"?)
   
3. Armenia – the line “kiss my face” Makes me uncomfortable. I don’t like the vibe of the song, but when it switched to Armenian it gets 10x better.
   
4. Iceland – Average song, good message. Dilja was so energetic, deserved to be in finals.
   
5. Italy – Nothing in this song clicked with me. He has a good voice though.
   
6. Cyprus – He has a great voice, and the song was good. But you can break a broken heart, it’s called a shredder.
   
7. Latvia – In the words of my dad “It is just another love ballad.” Good song, nothing special. “Don’t cry, I just want to say the right words at the right time.” Isn’t that what we all try to do?
   

Above Average

1. Belgium – I really resonate with this song, it reminds me of when I was the only sane one in the house over the lockdowns. But I can’t justify putting it any higher. I also loved his hats.
   
2. Malta – I love the saxophone and I’m an introvert (why do you think I’m posting anonymously on Reddit?)
   
3. Netherlands – I like the harmonies and this love song is some how bearable.
   
4. Ukraine – The staging was brilliant, and I loved the bit in Ukrainian, the rest of the song is average.
   
5. Estonia – Good song, well performed. Not my type of song.
   
6. Slovenia – I really like this song, but it is really similar to some of the Croatian stuff I listen too, it doesn’t stand out among everything else.
   
7. Austria – Love the playfulness of the song and the harmonies are really good.
   
8. Sweden – She has a great voice, and her song is very powerful energy wise. But in my eyes, it is nothing special. I don’t understand how she got that many jury points. I can’t justify putting this song any higher.
   
9. Israel – I love unicorns, and the energy in her performance was great. I resonate with the message of her song. Loved the Hebrew in it.
   
10. Switzerland – This reminds me of one of my favourite songs (Ja bi da sam opet mali) and it feels like growing up. It’s hard to explain, but I really like it.
    
11. Australia – Love the heavy metal scream in there. The guitar solo is great. And the keytar was fun. This performance was fun and catchy.
    
12. Spain – I love this song, and it has that traditional feeling to it.
    

TOP TEN

1. Germany – It is unique. It is heavy metal. It is fun to listen too. Lead singer has a great voice.
   
2. Albania – Love the family vibes, I don’t fully understand the song, there is just something about it that I love.
   
3. France – This song is the embodiment of France. There is this je ne sai quois to it. Love it.
   
4. Moldova – Epic flute guy, the staging, costumes. I loved everything about the performance.
   
5. Serbia – Love the vibes, his voice everything. “Zelim za uvjek spava dok sve gori.” Is so true about so many things. And the video game vibe was so cool.
   
6. Czechia – Their harmonies! Love it. The message was great. We are not your dolls. They remind me of Klapa singing from Dalmatia.
   
7. Croatia – I mean, this song is the whole reason I watched Eurovision. It was crazy, wacky, fun, what more do you want? Better lyrics. I never followed Let 3 before this nor do I plan to keep on following them but this song was definitely something. SC!
   
8. Portugal – Love the ethnic vibe she had going on. My dad was confused as to why is scored so low. She has a great voice and the song was really good.
   
9. Norway – Whistle notes. Need I say more? She is the queen of kings. And I loved the Viking vibe and the Italian (I think it was Italian) in the beginning of her song.
   
10. Finland – Do I have to explain? I love the blending of genres. The performance was excellent. Back up dancers on point. Vocals were great! And being able to sing Cha Cha Cha, so I felt like I can sing along even though I don’t understand the language. And that human centipede.
    

You can probably tell by this list that I don’t like pop songs. Personally, I find them boring, they all have a similar chord progression and they’re mostly about love. If I wanted to worry about love, I’d be dating someone right now.
I hope to keep on watching this contest for years to come. I learned that Arcade and Fairytale and ABBA came from Eurovison. Honestly, I didn’t even know what Eurovision was before this year, and I didn’t think major songs came through it.
Tell me, do you agree? I’m up for civil discussions and debates. I am also willing to look into some songs in a more in-depth manner.
Also, why don’t more countries sing in their native languages? I personally think that would be more fun to watch and listen to.
I’m pretty sure I’m within the community guidelines, please let me know if I’m not. And in no way am I trying to offend anyone or any country.
TLDR: I am a Canadian who ranked their favourite songs some of which may surprise you.

Hi! I’m visiting Taiwan and here until next Friday 6/16. I’m from America, and only speak english.
I came with a friend who is local to here, but he unfortunately got covid on DAY TWO of our trip and now has to rest and isolate for a few days so I’m on my own, don’t speak mandarin, and don’t know where to go/what to do.
I went to the Taipei Zoo the other day solo and then was able to figure out the train on my own so I rode then walked to Taipei 101.
I love the areas in Taiwan so much they’re beautiful and I love the happy culture.
But not speaking the language is scary and even a simple transaction at a convenient store is scary for me and makes me nervous.
I’d love to meet up with people if they are available? I’m solo for the rest of today as well as tomorrow, possibly even Thursday before I regain my friend (hopefully).
Or even recommendations on where to go and do? I’m not really comfortable traveling TOO far on my own.
I’m staying near Taoyuan City and the Bade District. Thanks for reading and hope to meet some people, get recommendations, and more! Would love to get food or explore, and hopefully you are able to communicate in english? 🥹

Hi all,
Through some poor planning and lack of knowledge, we managed to plan a trip just outside of timeframe in which bass can be caught. Looking at reports from other anglers, it appears that bass is one of the major species that populate the bodies of water in the area. I would like to do some fishing with young kids but I don't want to accidentally catch or disturb any bass.
Would it still be safe to fish for some panfish near the shoreline? Are there ways to lower the chances of hooking bass as we cast from shore?
This is in fishing zone 15.
Any advice would be appreciated. Let me know if any other details would help.
Thanks!

• I run a true crime podcast
• I’m hilarious (at least i think so)
• I’m trying to get out of a reading slump so if you have a book club LET ME INNNNNNNN PLEASE

thanks for reading this far along if you did and have an awesome day

Witajcie Polscy przyjaciele!

I, 31F, decided to book myself a flight to Krakow this fall and will be in the city center area for the first part of October, for about two weeks. I'll be the first member of the family to visit the country since my great-great grandparents left Grajewo over a hundred years ago and I think they would be proud.
I have a series of questions and I apologise in advance if they are dumb- google is helpful to a point but things can change quickly and all that.
For context, I will be making use of the public transport systems and am willing to walk to my destination if the route seems safe. I like to wander and observe.

Will things be closed?

Where I live, when October comes, many things shut down for the winter season. Is this something to be aware of in the city? I'd like to see the zoo, but mine closes early in the colder months. I don't see anything about it on the Krakow Zoo's page, so maybe I just need reassurance lol.

What do I wear?

Ladies and gentlemen- what do yall wear that time of year? I am really struggling on how to pack- I will be bringing just a backpack so I want to make sure I bring the right stuff. Layers? Long johns/thermal undies? Is it not as cold as I think it will be? Looking at the historic temperatures (numbers) isn't helpful because my brain doesn't work that way :( when do you guys get out your winter stuff?

SOUP.

I really really really want to sample as many soups as I can. I've got a whole bunch of pins saved to my maps of places near the city center that have good reviews, but if there are some hidden gems, please drop them in the comments. Soup in the morning, soup in the afternoon, soup in the evening... I crave the soup. Bonus points if they have the bowls made of bread and/or a killer rosół.

Best places to find bread and cake

I love cakes and cake-like things. Direct me to the cakemakers, particularly the ones that have cupcakes. I'd like to indulge in lots of good bread while I am there. Are there any Polish cakes I should be aware of and plan to taste?

Ukrainian Friends

I have been studying Ukrainian and would like to meet some Ukrainians- if you folks are reading this, tell me where to find you so we can schmooze)))

Holidays

I didn't see any national holidays that fall during my stay, but I am very interesting in knowing if there are any local or religious holidays observed during the first few weeks of the month. Baldur's Gate III's full release is August 31st so I'll be happy to play that if everything is closed for some reason lol.

Military Surplus Stores, Militaria, Military Stuff

Museums, stores, displays, events, anything military: drop your faves! Militaria Maciej Zapiec looks cool, and so does Militaria. I'm interested in things from all eras, but particularly curious about modern gear. Bonus points if there are handsome men that orbit around the location.

Wandering Protocols

Are there any neighborhoods I should avoid, particularly at night? I'm used to Detroit, Chicago, Latin America etc- and honestly am just having a hard time fathoming anything different. Do you guys have it the same way, where one neighborhood is just fine, and then the next one over is an absolute shitshow without warning? Or is it very obvious that I should probably avoid an area? My dad worries that I'm gonna get kidnapped and chopped up into tiny pieces or something- the scenario depends on the day. He will feel better knowing I have done some type of research on the subject.

Polish-language Magic: The Gathering Cards

I would like to purchase some MTG cards in the Polish language. I'll also probably scoop some English ones, but my mission is to find some Polish ones for my decks. I see Dragonus, Game Over, and Vanaheim- is it worth visiting all three? Are there others I've missed?

Cool Cars, Car Guys, and How to See Them

I like cars, all sorts- does Krakow have car meets or something like that? I wish to see some Polish car culture, but I am not even really sure where to start with that one. I am particularly fond of old Soviet cars and stuff from that era. As with the military stuff question, bonus points are awarded if there are handsome men orbiting the cool cars.

Thank you for any and all help in advance. This is incredibly exciting for me and I feel like I'm going to spontaneously combust due to the excitement levels.
