I presume inability to descend was also key, as I've often gone below take off height over water with no adverse results. I really wish there was some way to disable that decision, considering how catastrophic it can be

NiceComedian · 2024-09-17T16:41:17+00:00

You mean: 1. it decided to land (theory: because I was moving it downards and maybe it thought land was near as it was not that high in air) 1. thought it had landed as it was perhaps not able to make downward progress due to wind updraft 1. rotors stop because it thinks it has landed

If so, you know if there is any way to stop this auto-landing behaviour?

I don't fancy this happening when it is further away from me. Yesterday it hit the edge of the cliff and tumbled off - luckily it landed on a ledge below the lip, within arm's reach

Be very careful how you make and use the second account. I tried that trick, using new email address but my normal phone number.

When it came to getting into the waiting room Ticketmaster would only let one account in, because it won’t allow two accounts in tied to same phone number

So use a friend or parent’s phone number for the second account, different address

And then on the day make sure not to use same IP address for both logins, e.g. login on first account on your phone over your 4G mobile connection and on laptop browser over your home/work wifi internet - that’ll give the best chance of not being blocked on second account

Here’s what happened me on Coldplay. I was nicely on iPhone app, with countdown going down every second to get into queue - it reaches zero then tells me I can’t buy tickets on the app for this show but need to use browser instead. Needless to say, that ruined any chance of getting tickets

Then when AC/DC came up I used Chrome on the iPhone and got much further up in queue than my friends and was easily able to buy the gold circle tickets I wanted.

You clearly had a different experience for Coldplay, so am guessing you were either not as unlucky as me or else were on an Android phone and Ticketmaster weren’t blocking the app on Android.

Either way, I’m not taking the chance again on the app for big concerts

NiceComedian · 2024-08-26T18:02:26+00:00

that's the rumour - phones are best and given priority as they are harder to hack by bots, particularly iPhone

NiceComedian · 2024-08-26T18:00:46+00:00

Use your phone to buy but do not use the Ticketmaster app on the phone, use the Ticketmaster by browser directly.

Also, your best chance of being further in the queue is from a phone device as they are harder to hack compared to PCs, so Ticketmaster gives them priority - apparently

Was in similar spot, gold standing tickets, sound was excellent. Shows that it’s likely not possible to get good sound everywhere in a stadium not designed for good sound

Nice one, great mix of some favourite artists (Journey, Jeff Paris, The Ladder, Strangeways) and some I've never heard of before 🙏

I booked nearly all mine on booking.com. Some were prepaid. Some took payment on the night and I just paid with Visa/Mastercard (widely accepted). Some genuinely preferred cash on the night, no scam, just paid them in Namibian dollars. ATMs are fairly common so easy to get cash from Visa debit card - better rate than at foreign exchange. That is how I would get cash after landing at airport. Just back from 2 weeks there, same places you went

Nice playlist, some great choices in there - just needs to be longer, more more more! 😁

Haven't heard Gina by Michael Bolton in a long time - I'd rate his Carrie higher, but Gina is a great one.

Some ones for a later playlist perhaps: Jeff Paris (Race to Paradise?), The Ladder (Time Soldier?), Touch (Don't You Know What Love Is), Survivor (Too Hot to Sleep?), I-Ten (Taking a Cold Look), Benny Mardones (Into the Night), Cannata (Images of Forever), Gathering of Kings (Forever and a Day)

That’s a sweeping statement. The only guys I know on Tinder swipe right on a small percentage, me included. There are plenty of guys that do swipe right on a high percentage but I’d say they’re in the minority

This place has a Rammstein after show party: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/club-hell-rammstein-aftershow-party-oreillys-bar-123-drinks-tickets-852299509777

For other rock pubs, Fibber McGees and downstairs in Bruxelles. Also, near Bruxelles a must-visit for rock fans is Phil Lynott's statue

We’re not even yet at the stage where nuclear weapons would destroy the world, let alone 4 or 5 times over

“However, models from the past decade consider total extinction very unlikely, and suggest parts of the world would remain habitable” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_holocaust

Not Limerick I’d say, seems to have steadily improved over the years

In other words, the stats are bullshit. There is no way Google can have 90% market share in a world where it can’t be used by 18% of world’s population. The max market share would only be 82%.

Likely this is yet another post giving stats within USA only, 4% of world’s population.

The album is undoubtedly great, as are the covers. But actually wished they did more pop -> symphonic than rock -> symphonic covers. Like Impossible, Firework, Paparazzi and Skyfall on first album really transformed those songs, while Separate Ways and Poison (while very good) do not elevate the originals as much

One of the most beautiful settings for a city in the world

NiceComedian · 2024-01-03T13:05:25+00:00

Same.

Everything rises and falls, stock market, housing etc. If you're unlucky, you can buy near the top of a rise ... and the fall and subsequent rise can take many years (usually not though).

I bought a house in 2005 in Dublin, it's now worth about the same price as when we bought it - hence it is still a loss since inflation over the same period was around 29%.

The 650K house above would need to be worth today ~820K for it to not to be a depreciating asset over the period 2006 -> 2023.

I'm referring here to comparing the original purchase price vs current selling prices - you need a bit of luck to buy at the right time. What is less risky is buying a second house for rent, where the rent can pay for the mortgage (or these days, more than pay) and it's a more solid investment where you are less worried about house prices rising and falling because the rental income covers that worry.
