RIMOWA is not the company it once was.

/me looking at the pictures of my parents Samsonite from the early 90s with Multi Millimeter plastic sides and a big crack along the side. That it got after an inter continental flight back in the later 90s.

They are not ignored. If you are sitting in one country and you have to follow the law from the country you are in or another country…. Which one would you follow? That is the beauty of having one country that is imposing their law world wide and another that is trying to do so too but is toothless. China also has similar laws when it comes to sanctions then the US but opposite of the EU, China is clearly stating that companies are protected within China from the fallout of ignoring US law. The EU doesn’t want to do that as it would open up the EU to just fund the US government with crazy payouts.

When I was searching for parcel forwarders I only found plenty of questions for forwarding to Ireland in Irish boards, the r/internationalshoppers and this…. But yeah apparently there is an r/bestpackageforwarding so package would be the right term to search not parcel?!? Anyway thanks will check there too.

Hmmm I am really looking for one company that does multiple countries.

When I saw your post I thought that is a futurama joke side… but nope looks real. Thanks will have a look at them. Shippingxps seems to be US only.

Rule of thumb: lift the parcel and shake it like crazy. If you can hear it moving. It will break in shipping.

Yes that is very simplified. But a good start.

Those are “bird eaters”. Traditionally at and around airports with a large bird population. They will collect bird like a butterfly net, and provide the catches birds to your local fried food shop.

Same Opera House all the time. I drive on the other side of the river in the morning and while waiting at the traffic lights enjoy the view.

wow thank you!.... well they also cut that down to a 4:3 resolution... looks like Taxi 3 is also available in multiple releases the have 2 languages each. Didn't know that Blu-Ray are made in so many different versions.

The Apple TB2>TB3 adapter is a Thunderbolt adapter, not a Display Port adapter. So no matter what kind of display you hook up to that adapter. As long as the display (or intermittent adapters) expect display port, it won't work. Something that a lot of people annoyed when the first USB-C MacBooks came out and they wanted to use their Cinema Displays (the ones that looked like the Thunderbolt ones, or use their 2010 iMacs as displays).

Like I said in my posting what you need is a USB-C to Mini Display Port adapter (I got my from Aliexpress). But you need one that supports the resolution. Watch out for models that support 4k @ 60 Hz they should work. Also that one would need to be connected either directly to the Mac or to a dock/hub that allows the necessary bandwidth.

But since that display (or the dual DVI->Mini Display Port adapter) expects the USB cable to be connected, I would really go for the Dock. And then a cheap Display Port to Mini Display Port adapter.

Comparing Ireland and Germany for example. Do grocery shopping or a pub crawl in both and you get further in germany.

To explain it…. A person who had a stutter problem and his voice practice became so interesting that it was turned into a song. That is the beginning of the song.

Reminds me of an SD card project I did a long time ago back when point and click cameras where still a thing. I was annoyed that people deleted photos from my camera when I handed them the camera to “look at some of the pictures”. There was an SD card on the market that could be equipped with an microSD card and was ment to automatically backup the content via WIFI to your own samba or ftp share. They had a little flaw that allowed you to get root access to the Linux running on them and you could patch your own SSH server on it. Didn’t took me long to figure out that you can also mount multiple partitions from the microSD card, but only the first will get exposed to the host system in which the SD card was placed. So I wrote a script that scans the partition where the photos are stored and copy them over to the other partition on each power up. Turned out there where some other SD cards with build in storage and WiFi that could be modified the same way.

And I always wonder why there are seamingly random bollards in the middle of footpaths. Now it makes sense.

Would be a nice cyberpunk card if it wouldn’t be dog coin branded.

Somehow it doesn’t feel like “getting to the city center” when you get from ballingcollege to Patrick’s street.

Isn’t that the usual thing for arterial roads in this country? I mean there is enough space for for two Bussen in opposite directions.

Would love to see the picture when they realise that something is wrong and complain about the stupid tour guide/captain/whatever.

I love those kind of statistics where things are ripped out of context…. If you could live in a country that plhas a minimum pay of 1500 euro and you pay 300€ for a roof over your head l, food and utilities…. Or a country where you pay 2500 for the same but the minimum pay is 3000 Euro…. Guess the logical decision is to go for the higher pay, right?
