This happened to me last week

I am in the orange SUV. Was making a right hand turn. Genius in the kamote decides he's going to come all the way from my left and cut across my nose. I guess he expected me to stop? Well I didn't see his daredevil maneuver because I had already begun executing my turn and was looking to my right. Then I felt and heard something scraping. I looked and this idiot was against my car. Thank goodness for CCTV cameras. The guy was claiming I "drove so fast," until we went to the baranguay and they pulled up the video. Even the owner of the tricycle (not the same person as the driver, of course) said it was his fault. Now dealing with insurance and that whole nightmare. They didn't even have 580php to xerox the police report. Of course they're not going to have the money to pay to fix it. Starting to wonder if it's worth driving here or not.

Do you notice this odd thing Filipinos do when they call people?

I'm just wondering, as a foreigner living here, it's strange to me how Filipinos will try to call somebody. The other person doesn't pick up. Then they will dial them again. This process can take quite awhile. Sometimes, eventually, the other person picks up but they don't seem to be bothered by someone blowing up their phone and there's rarely any explanation like oh, I was in the shower, or my phone was on silent, or I was in the other room. They just start talking like the person calling doesn't have an extreme emergency. Other times, the person being called simply isn't available. But that could have taken one time calling and a text saying call me.

Like right now, my wife's cousin is asleep on the couch. Someone is calling his phone over and over. The phone is low and he can't hear it. I can't imagine when he finally answers, he's going to be like oh, I need to leave now, or shoot, somebody died. I think it's just his gf. She doesn't know that he sleeps around this time?

It generally seems like people are too impatient to wait for people to get back to them and are inconsiderate towards anyone's time but their own. Like if people did that to my phone, the first thing I would think is, what's wrong, what happened? But it seems to be norrmal here?

Does anyone have an actual fix for the audio delay?

So, I've been using Rocksmith for awhile and for some reason, I can never seem to get the audio coming out of my TV/sound bar to match when I hit the strings on my guitar. I have done different steps that I've seen talk about. I adjust the audio lag but it just doesn't sync up, no matter what number you use. I've changed the output to AV amplifier, with 2 ch output. It has helped a little but it still doesn't sound like playing through an amp, where it is in real time. Has anyone gotten it to match up perfectly? What were the settings and path you used?

Does anyone else experience certain songs not registering your correct hits?

So, I'm a guitar player, have played in bands. I mainly use Ricksmith to learn and play songs that I'm interested in but never got around to. I've been noticing though that some songs I can get through by playing it as prompted, while ohers I know I'm playing correctly but the game isn't recognizing that I'm playing it.

​

For example, I have been working on Holy Wars, Pour Some Sugar On Me and a few others that I can progress in fairly normal. But I got to Bad Religion's American Jesus and I'm struggling to get through the simplest parts that I know I can play and am playing. But it keeps registering missed notes out of nowhere that I am playing right.

​

It's getting really frustrating with some songs. I'm wondering if others have similar experiences.
