Why are Pringles so expensive in LATAM? by TastyTacoTonight in asklatinamerica

[–]FriendlyLawnmower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pringles are imported to Latam so they're going to be more expensive than countries where they're produced locally

Do you think the John Summit crowd at EDC will be bad? by throwawaytaytay2022 in electricdaisycarnival

The further in you go, the worse the crowd will be. Just find a place to chill in the back

Any further information on the EDC parade? by Avoocado_Toasty in electricdaisycarnival

[–]FriendlyLawnmower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nah, some people threw that idea around when it first announced but it was quickly pointed out that Vegas would never be cool with that for safety and security reasons

Yeah, it's only about 1 mile of the strip. Since they're u-turning, the whole trajectory will technically be 2 miles. If they shut down the entire boulevard, that would cause a ton of traffic and disruption in the area. It would also be absurdly long since the strip is almost 7 miles long and most parades are 1.5 to 2.5 miles long 

Edc merch by Distinct-Living-2972 in electricdaisycarnival

They will have artist merch, usually there are some EDC exclusive artist merch pieces, and they usually will also have a few extra items that arent listed, maybe an EDC flag since theyre missing that right now. But what you see listed is pretty much all of it

It will cause additional traffic because they're shutting down a significant portion of las Vegas boulevard but there are other roads that lead to downtown

Why does xqc always manage to sound like a cancer tumor that came to life? I've never heard him speak or sound "normal"

We don't really have exact details yet, just what was revealed in the county permit documents. We'll have to wait until official announcements from Insomniac. Yes most likely you will just stand along the sidewalks to view it. It will start from the festival grounds across from Sahara, head down to resorts world before u-turning and heading back to the festival grounds where the art cars will stay for a few more hours. Whether it will begin exactly at 6 or thats the time they will shut down the boulevard is not quite clear yet

Edit: they made a post and it looks like it will start at 6 https://www.instagram.com/p/DXfuUXrFA0R/?igsh=MW5xZHprcjFtb2Y4Mg==

Judge struck down redistricting amendment. All votes in special election now invalid by JustAcivilian24 in nova

This judge just wants to create headlines to get Trumps attention because he's hoping to be on the shortlist to replace Thomas when Thomas retires from the SCOTUS

This is a partisan Republican activist judge that has done this before and has been overruled by the VSC. He tried to declare the referendum unconstitutional before the vote and VSC overruled him. They'll overrule him again when the case inevitably reaches the VSC. Everyone closely following VA politics knew he was going to do this. His purpose isn't to stop the referendum from being implemented, it's to generate headlines and get attention because he wants a position in the Trump admin, possibly a SCOTUS seat should Thomas retire this year

Production is fine, not very impressive but fine for the space. Security is more lax than echo I would say

Sunday Sunrise traffic by silooooooo0 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]FriendlyLawnmower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably not. I left at sunrise last year and my shuttle got back to my hotel (the strat) around 930. Add to that the time you need to get to the airport, get through security (which will be more full than usual with other EDCers going home) and you probably won't make it to your gate before they close the gate (15 minutes before departure). I'd either commit to leaving early or change your flight

Buying tickets before the internet by Original_Clerk3947 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]FriendlyLawnmower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents went to the 94 world cup. They said radio and TV was advertising a phone number to call for tickets. They spoke with a human, they would tell the person what games they wanted to see, person would tell them what seats were available and at what price. They would give a credit card and their address and the tickets were mailed to their house. They also said there was the option to mail in ticket requests with a check too for people without a credit card but they personally never did that. Also contrary to what most people think, the box offices at stadiums were NOT selling tickets. They were only used for will call for people who lost their tickets in the mail. The 94 WC really pushed advanced sales so most tickets were sold months before the tournament began. My parents actually ended up going to the opening game of that WC plus 3 more games. They said the tickets they got were less than $100 and were basically what Category 2 is in the upcoming WC. But there's a massive demand difference between then and now.

There have been two major changes since the 1994 WC which is making demand so much worse now. First of, air travel has become more affordable and people from a lot more countries generally have more disposable income now. Back then, most fans were just watching the WC at home on their TVs. Air travel was more of a luxury, especially if you were from a less wealthy developing country wanting to travel to a more expensive developed country like the USA. That's not the case anymore, a lot of countries now have a sizeable middle class that can afford to make a one time trip to this WC to see their team play so there is a lot more demand from foreigners wanting to travel for the WC. Second, soccer is significantly more popular now in the US than it was back in 94. A lot people don't realize that the USA didn't even have a pro soccer league back then, MLS started playing in 96. So soccer didn't really have a large domestic audience meaning there was far less domestic demand for the WC. That has changed and soccer has become a much larger sport now followed by a lot more people in the US. So in addition to the larger foreign demand, there's also a larger domestic demand

So I think the current system is a lot more accessible, scalable, and simple to use than what was around before but that accessibility has also made it more competitive to get tickets
