A helicopter carrying President Ebrahim Raisi crashed on Sunday, according to Iran’s state media and the country’s mission to the United Nations, but has yet to be found by search-and-rescue workers because of heavy fog.
Other sources are talking about a hard landing rather than a crash. Apparently they were already on the descent and wind forced one helicopter down in a wooded area not too far off the landing zone. Still doesn’t sound pretty, but at least more survivable than an outright crash.
I lived in Berlin for almost 4 years and it lost all of the appeal during that time.
It’s hip and cool to visit, but if you actually live there and have to take the subway to work at 7 when all the drunk clubbers are just getting home, reeking of weed, booze, vomit, and piss, it’s not so fun anymore. Plus it’s really really dirty in most somewhat central locations.
Stockholm on the other hand is awesome, fully agree. Might as well throw Oslo and Helsinki into the mix. And Reykjavik for good measure. I really love the Nordics.
Pro tip: Riga is like a cheap cousin of Stockholm. Just as nice at a quarter of the price.
I’m looking for the top European bank that doesn’t block your funds without reason. For instance, many individuals have reported online that Revolut has blocked their accounts suddenly and sometimes for various months.
I’ve been with wise for a solid decade, never experienced any issues.
My main bank is DKB in Germany since 2004 and I’ve since moved countries 8 times without problems, but I think they don’t allow non-residents to open the account in the first place. Might have changed though, they are solid.
Was iTunes popular outside of the US? Everyone I know hated they intrusive software and DRM that prevented you from playing the songs elsewhere. Don’t think I know a single person who actually purchased music there.
That Windows store never worked for me. I tried to buy something out of perceived convenience once, and tried to install some freeware once or twice (7zip and something else), and it never worked. On a genuine, activated Windows, that is. Never bothered to try again.
New here. Migrated from Reddit. Still trying to figure out Lemmy - what’s everyone’s experiences like coming from Reddit and does Lemmy serve as a good alternative? Pros and cons/differences?...
I’ve always hoped somebody would create basically a clone of Reddit, but without the politics and without being overly-policed. Where people aren’t pushed away for respectfully voicing their opinion. Is Lemmy the answer?
If you block sufficient leftist/marxist instances and communities, you might not notice that this is essentially a socialist fanboy wannabe utopia.
I’d suggest to browse Lemmy by new, block a lot, refresh a couple times, and then eventually arrive at a curated, sanitized feed.
But Lemmy is far from unpolitical, merely a different color.
Sounds like mail.yandex.com should work for you. It’s the Russian copycat of gmail, basically. But they allow anonymous signup with a “don’t have” option for phone numbers, and they have next to no trackers on the website. That ones they have are easily blocked.
Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn’t rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn’t unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.
This is a genuine question, so please don’t do me like Vlad the Impaler. What is your opinion about the benefits of upgrading to displays beyond 1080p?...
I have a 4k TV and don’t get it either. Watched the odd video in 4k and the colors are maybe a bit crisper, but that’s about it. I’d have to compare movies side by side to actually spot the difference.
Not worth it IMHO.
Can’t tell for screens though, I don’t even know whether mine does 4k or not. Was part of the home-office package from my company. I’ll have to check that tomorrow, only returning from a business trip tonight.
Posting scripts that work for your personal setup is actually something I would consider a security risk as it’s giving details about your concrete infrastructure and configurations away.
Recently on Reddit there are memes after memes on election. Specifically, rather pro-Israel “No vote for Biden is vote for Trump!” If you open, you see a bunch of same-minded people complaining about anti-Bibi protestors....
Lemmy is just as political as reddit, just on the opposite spectrum. But yeah at least the memes stay in the meme communities, which I’ve all blocked. So that is nice, at the very least.
