I’ve used Spotify with subscription on android for years and never had any issue with it. The Web and desktop apps have also worked well for the last decade or so.
Deezer, Newpipe, YouTube have all had their places, but Spotify does it’s thing the best.
That’s probably exactly what I was thinking of.
I mostly see them in US media, and they always seem so thick. But then again, the Russian vest doesn’t, so I guess they’re for different uses.
Interesting, I learnt something new today.
Seems delightfully medieval as a solution. What does the Kevlar do? Mostly anti-spalling?
Maybe I just don’t know how bulletproof vests work, but shouldn’t there be some layers of energy dispersing material on top of that plate?
Is it a fair comparison without?
Dozens!
That’s almost an hour of soldiers at the current casualty rate
What is this thread but people yelling at clouds?
Board games have been nearly ruined by kickstarter.
Instead of buying a well reviewed and recommended game from a store, you have to back a hyped up sales pitch, and then wait 4 months for delivery, if the producers don’t just bail with your money or go “oops, we couldn’t finish what we promised, and we already spent all your money…”.
And if you don’t back it to later read the reviews, the game is out of print and still waiting for the first wave of deliveries, meaning a second print is still at least a year off.
Also, the ratings are heavily skewed by people rating on the hype or early/review copies, meaning the rankings are heavily amazonified.
EtA: Also games are heavily bloated with social media candy: heavy and fragile minis, box stands, blingy crap periferals (branded dice holding toucan) and still needing organisers, player aids and mods from third parties who’ve gotten review copies to make said supplements…
Oh, and the stretch goal extras (get another 150 vanity minis/3D printed scoring tokens) for only $150 and an 18 month wait!
At least once you can
The 20% survive at least twice as long, it seems KN has some positive effect.
It’s not like there’s no attrition after the first 5 years. Also, the show started 15 years ago, so the stats are even better.
That’s good numbers, normally 80% of restaurants die in 5 years.
Damm shame, and it was so flammable too!
Estimate a week ago was that a counteroffensive can come next spring earliest. Might just be information warfare, but Ukraine is currently on the back foot.
The Chinese rank 60th in happiness, which is ahead of Greece, Russia, Turkey, India and other market economies.
There are other ways to care for your population than making them compete for basic necessities. It’s unfair to judge by your own lens.
But then again, this is probably much too much nuance for this thread.
I use Newpipe, it’s not as good as Vanced, but better than reVanced. And good enough that I recoil in horror at the stock app.
It already has?
But price increases of cereals ( bread, pasta, grains, etc.) increased by about 7,5 % last year alone, which is more than the inflation, and more than the increase after inflation.
That’s where people might complain. They still can’t afford food, as food prices increase faster than overall inflation
I appreciate a data supported argument, and love that you actually linked sources.
One thing that I feel is missing in most of the linked analyses is that inflation has also hit unevenly, and the price of basic goods has increased significantly more than overall inflation. Which would explain why households still have less disposable income, also the mean debt burden is much higher leading to loan costs being more common.
Or brought up by a neurodivergent parent, or sibling, or have an ND partner
If only there was some way to leave traces and/or study left traces. Would definitely cut down on all the time travel pollution
That’s actually a very cool idea.
Do a proper SS leather jacket but with a defiled swastika all over the back (so no one can mistake it) and reclaim it?
I’d probably not use the red band.
And would this become problematic in a decade when the jackets get normalised and mainstream (probably without the punk defiling)?
