Awesome you got to see them as well! They got big really fast, I saw them a year later at Alcatraz festival and that was at least 20x bigger and they were headlining IIRC. At that concert they had a canon shooting 666$ bills, I took some snaps for you. Tucked away between my record Ceremony and Devotion, the full live set just as I remember it but recorded in San Francisco.

Similar experience seeing Ghost in de Vooruit in Ghent. Must’ve been 2016, back when they were called Ghost BC. Don’t really follow them much anymore, but that venue was on fire.

Edit - Also amazing:

• Florence and the machine: amazing voice
• Ocean Wisdom: whole club bouncing up and down
• Macklemore: creates a rarely seen vibe with everyone
• Cypress Hill: such legends even after all these years
• Hooverphonic: insane voice and they are sometimes guided by an orchestra, so much power
• Parov Stelar: with an orchestra as well and my god it’s really something to experience live

A lot of artists sound way different live, I’ve been disappointed as well but these definitely stand out.

It’s great IMO, combined with Samsungs GoodLock suite you can stylize anything about the phone, I used to root my phone for this level of customization.

Edit: I would buy the zenphone because of the size and package, but OneUI is genuinely good

Voyager allows me to add filter/block keywords but I assume that’s only for posts. Don’t see much use in implementing the same feature for comments though.

Just today someone said to me with full confidence “but that’s not what ChatGPT told me, and they’ve always been right”

Genuinely a great day for linux

Let’s create a society where people want to live and participate in, not fuck their toaster for the entire day.

Aka, The Fermi Paradox

Really shows you how US-centric many platforms are, I like seeing other cultures having very different things they deem “normal”.

Cursive is still the main form of writing in Europe, haven’t seen many people writing in print/block.

That’s even worse, like you said, selfish.

walks my groceries home like a european

We do buy bulk as well, I’d say maybe 10% actually walks them home? I guess it depends greatly on the type and location of the store.

how often do you encounter scales on self checkouts?

Every store with self-checkout has them, usually there will be one scale before you actually use a register. It gives you a sticker with the weight/price barcode to scan yourself.

It’s not necessarily about the value they provide

That’s how a business works though, people do work of value which the business provides to its customers. I know nothing of the situation is SA but ordering business to lose more money doesn’t seem like the way to go. I’ll agree with the other comment calling for UBI.

That article wasn’t helpful though, just a whole lot of people talking with too much conflict of interest.

So is it customary to tip the person doing the bagging? Or maybe a designated bagger will do it faster, resulting in less wait times?

My favourite system is where I place my cart next to another one, and the cashier will scan everything while placing the item in the other cart, where I could have placed boxes if I wanted to.

It’s the same for filling your car with petrol.

But how does this person provide any value though? That person has to be paid as well, and doing something a customer can do well by themselves provides very little value. It used to be necessary, older petrol pumps had to be manually enabled or had no stop valve that person is required. With modern pumps having a person fill up your car is equally unnecessary.

As a European, I have never once had an extra person there whose sole purpose is putting your groceries into bags, what a strange concept.

Definitely, good thing button mapping is becoming more mainstream.

That is so interesting, thanks!

I don’t know about this one, I have ps/xbox brain as well, but putting confirm on the right side somehow always made more sense to me, even though my muscle memory doesn’t agree.

The first was amazing as well, but I always figured its niche type of problem solving and philosophical subjects didn’t really appeal to a wide audience. When the second one was announced I immediately wanted to play it, but I think once again a small target audience is its crutch for mainstream success.

Fuck yes, enjoy bud. I’ve read people not using high enough rated welding goggles and getting eye damage though. I’d stay on the safe side and get appropriate solar eclipse glasses. You’ll be looking directly at the sun for several minutes after all.
