  • Finding it hard to multitask and lacking confidence is fairly normal as a new driver. I found it helpful to have someone who’s confident in driving to accompany you while you drive until you’re confident. They’ll be able to point things out to you and warn you while you drive. It’s important that at the start they let you focus and only speak when necessary though. Gradually over time, they can speak to you more to get you used with multitasking while driving.

    These things take time to get used to so don’t fret it but if course, this is only if you’re comfortable to give it a try and commit to improving.


  • I had a Samsung Fold 3 and then upgraded to a Fold 6 which ended up costing less than half after the trade in bonuses and promotions. It’s insanely useful for me to be able to open it up for watching videos, reading books or articles, sketching ideas and more. Being able to just unfold it halfway to stand it up on a table is also pretty useful at times. It definitely enables you to do a lot more things that would’ve been a pain on a regular phone.

    Durability is surprisingly much better than I had expected. I’ve dropped it a few times and it’s still pretty solid, though I’ve never dropped it while it was open.

    I also like that it’s narrower than a normal phone and thicker since it really helps for one handed use which is why I’m not a fan of the Chinese ones or the rumours of the Fold 7 being much wider and thinner. Honestly, it’s an unpopular opinion but I thought the Fold 3’s width was perfect, they just needed to trim the bezels further.

    So yea, I can’t go back to a regular phone anymore. Even though I spend 70% of the time folded, the 40% where is unfolded more than makes it worth it.






  • I think Black Ops 6 did a lot of really cool things for the story with a few open ended levels and a really cool segment in the middle won’t spoil. Story wise I think it is actually one of their better ones, it had the potential to be almost as good as Blops 1 if the ending wasn’t so rushed and failed to tie up the plot lines properly. I have a feeling it’s so that they could reuse the characters in Warzone which is a huge shame.



  • Technically doesn’t です・だ serve a similar purpose to “it is” in this case. I’m not a native speaker but does it sound a bit strange if someone were to just say 雨? You would usually say 雨だ right? While it’s not the same as “it”, in this usage, だ・です is closer to the meaning of “is” so it’s kinda similar?

    That said, the absence of a concept of “it” in Japanese has never occurred to me so that was an interesting revelation. I am also a native Mandarin speaker which doesn’t really have an “it” either so maybe that’s why.
