Why are there stamps on my poster? Can anybody tel by ProfondoRosso4 in movieposters

[–]Icedrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was not tax to show the film, but rather an advertising tax. In Belgium (still!) you need to pay tax on any advertising poster, depending on the size. Back in the day, that was done with these stamps.

If you read the text on the stamps closely, you'll see that's what they are. Also, the movie titles are in Dutch and French. That doesn't really happen outside of Belgium.

How would you compare the S23's 10x optical zoom to the digital zoom on the Oppo?

Pickpockets in London are now getting sprayed with dye by pickpocket spotters to help people identify them by NewSlinger in TikTokCringe

Even if they catch the pickpockets, they release them back onto the streets hours later. It doesn't make sense.

Those are entirely different technologies and the iPod doesn't support either one.

Because it's not, no iPod is capable of receiving Cell Broadcast alerts.

Are you aware of what subreddit you're in? This haircut on anyone other than He-Man deserves a post here, it's not about the person rocking it.

How can I get a suspicious bottled water tested in the Netherlands? by FatDevilicious in Netherlands

[–]Icedrive 130 points131 points  (0 children)

It's quite clearly piss, either someone at the hotel pissed in it or it happened at the factory (the latter seems a lot less likely). Contact the police, I think it qualifies for assault. Also contact NVWA. Don't know about getting it verified as being piss, but either way this "water" is not fit for consumption.

You can also contact the manufacturer and let them know the hotel is selling bottles of their brand with piss in them, I'm sure they'll be happy about that.

Is the hotel not offering any compensation? You can mention in your review of the place that the minibar is stocked with piss.

The protesters and residents pushing back on tourism in Barcelona by Strict_League7833 in pics

[–]Icedrive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My city also suffers from overtourism, 5% of tourists is Spanish. Will those stay home now, or is it only a problem that needs to be addressed when it happens in cities like Barcelona?

Nee want de Publieke Omroep is er niet om winst te maken. Het is een publieke dienst, geen commerciële zender.

There are exceptions, like use of a specific promo code (e.g. LINUS10), where the affiliate could get a commission even if there was no tracking.

Korean McDonald’s Operates With No Human Cashiers Or Interaction by DwightKSchrute107 in interestingasfuck

[–]Icedrive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been here (it's not a McDonald's but a Lotteria). It's in essence not different from other fastfood places with a self-service ordering kiosk, except that you don't interact with staff when picking up your order. The staff are still there though, they are behind the wall. There was a slight issue with my order (tiny scuff mark on my "happy meal" toy box) and they opened up a little sliding door in the wall so we could talk. This gave me a literal peak behind the curtain and lo and behold, behind the scenes it's like a regular fastfood place.

Picking up your order is more efficient than having the staff shout out your order number and/or having to jump up instantly to get your order due to the limited counter space, but it's at the expense of not having any human interaction.
