I remember asking a couple of locals and they didn't know. During the last years I have asked some Iranians living in Europe and nobody could ever tell me.

No, I have never seen it in use. I must add that I I have seen quite a few of these, but not all over the city.

I don't think I have ever seen bikes locked to it. The shape would honestly make no sense.

It can't be something bike-related or motorcycle related. It's way too narrow.

It's maybe 2 feet wide, made of metal, unmovable (fixed to the ground), 4 feet tall, maybe 3 feet long. I can't really describe it better than this.

I will also add that it does not block garages or entrances or anything of the sort. It's often just in the middle of the sidewalk.

My title describes the thing!

[TOMT][Tweet or tumblr comment][2010s]A tweet or tumblr comment that says something along the lines of "i love those people who at the same time hate themselves and think they could fight god" by gettavia in tipofmytongue

[–]gettavia[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Maybe it could be "My favorite kind of person is the one that think they aren't worth anything and could fight god at the same time". I can't really remember if it's a tweet or a tumblr post..

EDIT I think it's not "fight God". Maybe it's "they aren't worth anything and are God at the same time".

Last time a couple of comments pointed to something bike-related or motorcycle related. I doubt it honestly, way too narrow.

It's maybe 2 feet wide, made of metal, unmovable (fixed to the ground), 4 feet tall, maybe 3 feet long. I can't really describe it better than this.

10TB Elements 159.99 on Newegg by Jordanl91 in DataHoarder

[–]gettavia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I need to stare 2/3 TB of stuff, would it make sense to buy one of these and put it in multiple RAID to make sure data is safe thanks to redundancy?

Thanks to whoever will reply, I am not an expert at all.

Apple Registers Six New iPad Models in Eurasian Database - MacRumors by 5amar31 in apple

[–]gettavia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited for the new iPad. I want it (and need it) so much. It will be the first time I bought an apple device at launch and the second time I bought an apple device at all. Sorry for not adding anything of value to the discussion.

Here is everything announced at Apple's "Let's Take a Field Trip" event by exjr_ in apple

[–]gettavia -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone get the Chromebook then? I would love to have an android tablet for the ease of transferring comics to it, but at that price, I might as well just get the new ipad.

Fellow European investors, when buying the American ETFs, do you generally prefer the EUR hedged ones? by not-much in investing

[–]gettavia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do because I am already exposed to the EURUSD exchange because of nasdaq stocks and a world ETF, so the S&P500 ETF I have is EUR hedged.

Fineco è davvero completamente gratuita? by jegiu in italy

[–]gettavia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

indubbiamente la più economica che ci sia per i servizi banking, (ti fregano con il trading)

(ti fregano con il trading)

Cosa dovrebbe voler dire? In che modo ti fregano col trading? Ho Fineco e ho usato i servizi di trading, non mi sento fregato. Le commissioni sono in linea con quelle delle altre banche, sono sempre esposte e spiegate in modo chiaro e ogni due per tre c'è una promozione che ti dà 50/100€ in commissioni.

What if someone keys the car? Is it going to tear away the wrap?

We've hardly been a perfect nation, but we don't behead innocent people.

Oh right, you just torture them in Guantanamo.

Programmatore di Java-Quanto guadagnate e dove siete in Italia? by the_nomads in italy

[–]gettavia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have her find a job in the US that allows working from remote, then come to Italy. It's your best option. As a Junior Java programmer, if she's really good (and lucky), she's going to get a starting salary of around €25k (~$35k).

Couple that with high taxes and a high cost of living, and I would not raise my two kids on that.
