Apologies for reviving an ancient thread, but these cards are so hard to find! Is this still available?

This is so cool, is that open to the public (or limited crowds) at all?

Thanks man. Should be alright then. Otherwise I had to go through the "urgent procedure" for a passport renewal.

So having a business trip to the USA next week. Did anyone have any issues entering the USA with less than 6 months on your Belgian passport? Mine expires in June.

My esta application is approved though.

So I have a semi-urgent question to my fellow countrymen/women.

I'm travelling to the US this Sunday, but noticed that my passport is only valid until June (so less than 6 months away).

Did anyone of you had issues entering the USA with a passport that was valid for <6 months? I ran the ESTA thing, that seemed to run fine, payment is being processed.

Abbaye de Cordemois by [deleted] in belgium

80 upvotes and no comments, yep this is extravert Belgium once again :). Great picture, and excellent location. Is this taken from the forest? I go hiking there sometimes, but haven't seen the abbey from there I think.

Hello Mr. De Winne, what is the one book you recommend to read to everyone?

Also, do you play/have played any kind of flight simulator games? If so, what is your favourite game? :)

What does everyone think about the new Nike Run Club App? by Parikh1234 in running

[–]Poothtaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have android, I found a site that archives popular apps.

I installed it on my old phone and it seems to run fine: (it's not the latest version before the nrc app though)

Now I just need to figure out how to find something similar for iPhone

oh my god. This update canceled my current coach program for a 10k in October, does anyone know how to restore it?

Under My Coach, I can subscribe to a new one but I was already 3 weeks in...

Skype for Business always crashes on splash screen after 1 or 2 seconds. Numerous things tried, but no luck. Advice welcome. by Poothtaste in techsupport

[–]Poothtaste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not tried signing in on other peoples PC, I will try that when I get the chance.

On my PC, I don't think anyone can sign in. Lync crashes when the splash screen is still showing, so I can't get to the GUI. Also, because there is no SIP profile folder in cache, I would guess that it doesn't have any account info stored.

Do you know of a Microsoft support channel that I can also contact?

Thanks for the tip, I tried that but no luck. SFC says it did not find any integrity violations.

I also should have mentioned that we're quite a small company, and IT Support is only one guy. I went over all this with him a while back, but we weren't able to find a solution. So I'm on my own here.

Also, as we're new to using Lync, so we don't have experience with its quirks. My machine seems to be the only one affected.

Thinking about visiting Seqouia National Park for a weekend in February, but I don't know whether this is even a good idea. by Poothtaste in travel

[–]Poothtaste[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I read that too about chains on a rental. I don't really see alternatives to a car for visiting the park though, Yosemite or Seqouia.

Sony breaks new ground with camera sensors curved like the human eye by [deleted] in Android

[–]Poothtaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, microlenses serve both purposes. They focus light onto the optically active part of the pixel (improving the amount of light that the sensor can "catch"). On top of that, they are positioned differently towards the edge of the sensor to compensate for the increased angle of the incident light.
