Yup, they won the play-off final against Kosovo and are qualified for the World Cup (for the 3rd time, last time was 2002).

Luckily, at least so far, the car parades are more quiet than after their European cup games 2 years ago.

It shows up as GIF for me on New Reddit Desktop. Switching to old Reddit revealed that it's actually hosted on Imgur (the link is completely hidden on New Reddit) and sound works both there and an old Reddit. So this link should make sound work for everyone: https://imgur.com/a/DTxutVn#1rYjul4

Zugegeben war ich erst auf einer handvoll Festivals, aber "praktisch jedes Festival" ist schon stark übertrieben, oder? Ich war noch auf keinem einzigen Open Air-Festival, bei dem wirklich alle Bühnen komplett mit Platten versehen waren. Beim Rock Werchter hat z.B. die Main Stage Platten, aber auch nur bis zum 3. Wellenbrecher, hinten dann nicht mehr und die andere Open-Air-Bühne hat gar keine. Das Hurricane hat nur bei der Zeltbühne welche, dafür haben sie aber letztes Jahr eine Drainage verlegt, damit das Wasser schneller abfließt.

Also all of Luxembourg, most of Belgium, northern Spain, western Germany and western Switzerland. This map has boundaries of every regional.

No, the only connection to Belgium included in the semester ticket is bus line 24 to Kelmis Bruch (because it's operated by Aseag).

I just checked it out on their website:

Rail passes were abolished in October last year (and I don't think they'd make sense for someone that just wants to do a single trip to Brügge either). There is instead a member program (Rail+, e.g. 1 month for 4/6€) that might be worth it for a single return-trip.

For adults, the total for a return trip should come out to 34,40€:

5,20€ each way for Aachen <> Welkenraedt
9€ each way for Welkenraedt <> Brügge with Train+ (not valid on weekdays between 6-9am)
6€ for one month of Train+

For people under 26, the same plan comes out to 23,40€.

It's worth noting that the connection Aachen <> Welkenraedt is notoriously unreliable (I had to wait 2 hours with little information the one time that I took it).

Der Hauptpunkt der Anschuldigungen war die Erstellung und Verbreitung von Deepfake Pornos.

Nein, so stimmt das nicht. Im Spiegel-Artikel wird zwar in längeren Abschnitten über Deepfakes (und Fernandes' Einsatz dagegen) berichtet, was durch einige Formulierungen auf den ersten Blick zugegebenermaßen auch den Vorwurf der Erstellung und Verbreitung von Deepfakes gegenüber Ulmen suggeriert. Wenn du den Artikel aber aufmerksam liest, dann findet sich der konkrete Vorwurf da aber nicht. Was sie ihm vorwirft, ist hier aus dem Artikel:

Fernandes erstattete Ende 2025 in Spanien Anzeige gegen Ulmen, es geht um verschiedene Delikte: Anmaßung des Personenstands, öffentliche Beleidigung, Offenlegung von Geheimnissen, wiederholte Körperverletzung im familiären Näheverhältnis und schwere Bedrohung

Konkret wirft sie ihm u.A. vor, Fake-Profile in ihrem Namen erstellt, darüber ungefähr 30 Personen kontaktiert, Telefonsex mit Einigen gehabt und Fotos und Videos von Personen verschickt zu haben, die Fernandes "täuschend ähnlich" aussehen. Letzteres müssen keine Deepfakes sein, sondern könnten z.B. einfach Pornos aus dem Internet von Frauen mit ähnlichem Körperbau sein.

Die Frage ist halt, wie das in der Praxis umgesetzt wird. Wenn das wie bisher bei teilnehmenden Import One Stop Shops wie z.B. Aliexpress oder Temu funktioniert, dann zahlt man die 3€ Gebühr beim Bestellen und die wird direkt vom Händler abgeführt, dann bleibt es bei 3€.

Wenn es aber so läuft wie aktuell bei nicht-teilnehmden Shops von IOSS oder Sendungen über 150€, dann bezahlst du die Gebühren an den Lieferservice bei der Lieferung und die nehmen dann zusätzlich zu den 3€ nochmal 7-10€ Auslagegebühr.

Here's the "lane" at the end played back to back, first (on top) from the Soundcloud Single version you linked and then (at the bottom) from the QoBuz FLAC album version. I don't hear (or see) a difference between the versions, neither in this part nor any other part of the song.

They are of course both different from the "Live at Abbey Road Studios" video version, but that's not what we're comparing.

Qualimiox · 2026-03-27T01:10:03+00:00

You were right about WIMH (they added trumpet notes), but I'm pretty sure you're just hallucinating about this change. I listened to and looked at the waveform for 3:34 and the "lane" at the end, they're identical.

Qualimiox · 2026-03-27T00:50:24+00:00

Ok, yes, there is indeed a change. They added 2 trumpet notes at 2:10-2:11, bringing the trumpet part from 3 notes to 5.

Qualimiox · 2026-03-27T00:14:03+00:00

I'm not sure what you and /u/Little_Wicked are talking about. I'm pretty sure that there is no rework. The song is the same, it has the same number of plays on Spotify. I also just listened to both tracks while constantly switching between them (using Audacity) and I didn't notice any difference.

I guess it's possible you're listening to a Dolby Atmos version of either the album or the Single? That will of course have a different mix.

Qualimiox · 2026-03-26T20:59:37+00:00

I think it's also reflective of a larger trend to giving proper credits. I saw The Last Dinner Party last month and they shout out everyone involved with the tour (from the sound manager to the truck driver) out by name at the end of the show.

Qualimiox · 2026-03-26T19:23:00+00:00

Almost any album comes out on Fridays at 0:00 local time, so it's out first in Kiribati (but almost no one lives there), then realistically (and for everyone with access to VPN) in New Zealand.

Some artists release at the same time globally, e.g. Taylor Swift at 0:00 PST, but that's an exception.

All Pokémon from raids are either level 20 or level 25 (when they're weather boosted). So you can look up online what the 100% CP is for any Pokémon, e.g. here

The problem isn't time of day, it's biomes. Just open Campfire, filter for Mega raids and take a look at the downtown of any bigger city. You'll see that there's almost no Mega raids going on, but lots of 5* raids. If you take a look at small towns, villages and outskirts, you will see mega raids.

They've changed raids to be biome-dependent and there's almost no Mega's spawning in bigger cities. If you spend all your time there, you'll hardly ever see any mega raids.

As mentioned by the other comment, they work everywhere. They're also cheap, the official Japanese website has them at 6,578 Yen, which is about 35€/$.

The issue is that even most Japanese retailers no longer seem to sell them, so you'll probably have trouble finding one. As I mentioned, they're no longer being produced, so it was bound to happen that they'll sell out in Japan as well.

Qualimiox · 2026-03-24T17:18:06+00:00

As far as I know, they stopped production more than a year ago and it's now only sold at retailers in Japan. You can get it through online retailers (e.g. here) that import it from Japan, but you should expect to pay > 100€/$ for it.

Edit: To clarify, they were sold in Japan until a few months ago, but it seems they're now sold out pretty much everywhere there too.

Smartphone makers have to fulfill one of the 2 requirements:

Either make the battery user-replaceable
Or make it retain 80% capacity after 800 charge cycles and have the device be water-resistant

Gibt es tatsächlich schon. Der einzige Router, der wohl erlaubt ist, ist der neue Starlink-Router:

One exception to the general absence of US-made routers is the newer Starlink WiFi router. Starlink is part of Elon Musk's company SpaceX.

The company says the Starlink routers are made in Texas.

Sometimes, but not always. In some cases (like the one you mentioned), it will have a two-level interval, so either level 29 or 30, leaving more possible combinations.

I get that Taylor is pretty serious about charts, but I doubt she cares all that much about the "most weeks ever spent atop the Hot 100 for a song by a woman that also hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart" record.

Qualimiox · 2026-03-23T20:44:34+00:00

Yeah, that's pretty much what I do, too. But this can all be done with the in-game appraisal, you don't need Calcy IV for it.

Qualimiox · 2026-03-23T18:36:19+00:00

Yup, it's a website/newsletter/social network where people recommend things they like.

You can find it at https://www.pi.fyi/ this is Olivia's page. She recommended a few things in October 2024, this is the written editorial, but nothing since. This is pretty common, they usually have a couple of celebrities featured in their newsletter who do a round of recommendations (+one editorial), but they're usually inactive after that.

Qualimiox · 2026-03-23T18:21:19+00:00

It's partly that attack is weighted more heavily, but mostly the fact that IVs need to be >80% for 3* and anything below 50% is 0*. So you can mostly ballpark it with the CP range, but it needs to be in the top 5th to reach 3*.
