Giver of skulls
I think that design is copyrighted by Adidas. I can find some fakes online but I can’t be sure those aren’t dropshippers from China.
I don’t think Adidas makes them anymore and I don’t think any country that respects copyright can sell similar balls without getting sued. You can get old replicas off of ebay, though.
Even with that many cars, these sprawling parking lots are a waste of space. You can cut down the parking area by a huge amount by building a few multi story parking garages.
Last stadium I went to did it pretty simple: train station next to venue, parking cost somewhere between 15 and 25 euros. They still have 2400 parking spaces next to their stadium that seats 55000, but if you put parking at a premium and offer an alternative, many people will just choose not to come by car. There are more parking spaces, but they’re basically spread around the city so they can also be used when you’re not visiting the stadium and are build next to public transport (or have dedicated buses for large crowds).
Probably for the best too when it comes to sports, half the sports fans I see enter stadiums like these seem to be drunk before they even reach the entrance. I wouldn’t want to be on the road after a match with those people going home…
Huh, last time I checked that didn’t work. Guess they must’ve fixed it at some point! Good to know!
That makes a lot of sense.
I first started donating blood when I read about shortages, but it turns out that was mostly other blood types. After the entry testing, they recommended me to switch to plasma donations because my blood type was common enough that they’d probably never need my full blood.
If you have a relatively rare blood type, you may be able to help people even if they have enough blood to help most people.
I think paying for blood or other bodily fluids is bad. It provides incentive for desperate people (addicts etc.) to lie on the safety forms to keep getting paid.
I know a few people who donate blood despite not getting anything in return. I personally stopped donating plasma after a few times for health reasons (nothing dangerous in the plasma itself, luckily). To me, being able to help a hospital or a person by simply sitting back and watching shows on my tablet is probably the easiest, laziest charity you can support. The snacks are nice, too.
Not everyone can donate blood, but everyone who is able to, you should consider it, even if you won’t get paid for it. You can doom scroll and browse Lemmy like normal, except you’re sitting in a weird chair and get free food.
I suppose in the shittier countries, where all blood donation stuff is run for-profit, you should let them pay you if they’re making a profit off of you, but I still think it brings a bad incentive.
You guys get a day off? All we get is time off to donate (also as many cookies and drinks as you want within reason, of course.
Something most accounts will never touch.
Yes. If you want to block this, you either have to edit the source code or, at the load balancer/reverse proxy, block /api/v3/comment/like if the POST body’s JSON content contains like with value -1.
I totally agree, but unless there’s something wrong with their mental faculties, they can choose back pain over TV savings. The downside of freedom of choice is that people make the wrong choices all the time.
Even if you cut 120 dollars a month, a good mattress will still be half a year or longer in the future. And that’s with a normal one, not a medical mattress.
“Best by” often means “will lose taste over time and taste worse by” when it comes to chemical products like these.
If this stuff contains lots of sugar or no natural compounds at all, give it a try, I guess. Especially if they’re sealed in a box. Trust your senses, don’t try too much at once if you don’t know if it’s still good, and don’t swallow until you’ve verified there’s no taste of rot or other grossness. If you want more safety, have a bottle of vodka ready to rinse your mouth with in case you do notice a bad taste.
If these powders are completely dry and stored airtight (and the packaging isn’t damaged), you could probably store them for literal decades without a problem. If there’s stored in uncoated cardboard (no sealing lining), maybe treat them as mold infested, even before their expiration date. The way they’re stored makes all the difference.
I fucking hate apps. Maybe I don’t hate them enough to warrant 120 a month, but I can see why people pay extra not to have to bother with figuring out what show is on what app and how to search and cast and browse the damn things
If they use the TV box all the time, why do they have those apps?
You showed them the price difference. They clearly value the current setup over the savings. Unless they’re using your money to pay for all this, just drop it.
Android users all kinds of overlays over the sdcard directory. This is part of how it enforces storage access for apps. There’s probably a way to override these settings, but they sure as hell aren’t easy.
There’s also another layer of permissions somewhere seeing as I can’t access certain files on /sdcard that were created by the recovery. I assume it’s an selinux context issue (it always is).
Changing ownership should work on real SD cards with normal storage, but it won’t for the emulated internal /sdcard.
Lifetime issues? Just clone() all your problems away. Everything is Clonable if you try hard enough. Who needs performance anyway?
I believe this is because not all videos are 16:9 (or 16:10). Something about different video sizes seems to break youtube thumbnails for some reason.
I don’t really see what that has to do with the feasibility of writing a new browser engine or the development status of either browser engine, but yeah, it was pretty silly of him to get dragged into an argument over that.
For me, there’s a 50/50 chance of it being able to tell me the weather rather than talking about how it’s an LLM.
I don’t have the subscription, though, so maybe that’ll fix it.
It’s bringing back the categorisation from Android 4. Looks like they’re not adding the headers to the groups, though. I guess that doesn’t vibe with Material You.
I do like this much better, but I find it a bit weird how often Google redesigns this screen.
That’s because of the way HDR works. It can work accurately, or it can work with user dimming controls.
Netflix decided my phone can only do SDR 480p because of my ROM, so I don’t have that problem with Netflix. I can’t find good HDR torrents, though.
In my opinion these are all kind of secondary to the massive commercialisation of sports. This leads to exclusivity deals for all kinds of classic cultural icons. I know this example demonstrates that it’s been this way for at least fifty years (the Telstar design is from 1974) but I’d wish parties like FIFA would stop selling out this much and at least make the ball designs open enough.
There’s something to be argued for the jacuzzification of this particular football design, so perhaps you can get away with selling these, but I don’t think any ball company is willing to take the cost of the lawsuit even if they win.
