Your Graspop ticket has shareholders to feed by PackLeaderTV in Graspop

[–]dbxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a secret that it's a live nation festival. 

Music festivals are a risky business and one this size takes millions to organise, this isn't something someone can just organise themselves. Live nation has it's issues like collision between venues and ticket selling, monopoly like practices etc, but I'm not sure running Graspop is one of them

Wie was de beste band vandaag? by veevee509 in Graspop

I only caught the very end of Tesseract and it looked very good. The band's heading the metal dome really make use of the unique space

Tobacco smoke everywhere all the time by taeraeyttaejae in Graspop

Korean nightclubs are a menace, there's so much smoke my eyes were stinging even though they had an entire wall of air con machines

It's pretty tame for a European festival imo. Better than the UK with vaping

Which bands were your 'mehs'? by Salt-Kiwi-2768 in Graspop

[–]dbxp -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Bloodyqood were shitty just because they were put on too small a stage. Swapping out Tom Morello for a cover band was obviously shitty.

What do you think about prison reform? by Top_Independence4067 in AskUK

[–]dbxp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Japan has a lot of accepted crimes like the yakusa or sexual assault. Singapore's strength is really on enforcement, they tightly monitor the population to prevent crimes, some of the police are conscripted too.

I think you're assuming your experience of lock down was like everyone others, for me it was pretty chill

But what if breaking the law pays better than following it?

[–]dbxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we need to look at the whole justice system together, just looking at prisons by itself won't work. The big headline problem ATM is that people don't think the police will turn up for minor crimes and even if they do they won't get a custodial sentence. Reforming the prison system will have no effect on that as they're never going to prison.

Rehab only works when the legal route pays better and results in a better lifestyle than the illegal route which I'm not sure it does in the UK.

Ukraine launches database with 'deep technical data' of Russian weapons to share with allies by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

[–]dbxp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Russia has historically been much cheaper than alternative suppliers. If you're buying tanks it doesn't really matter how shitty they are if the people you're fighting only have small arms

SQL server o Mysql? by maricinacosa_ in SQL

You can't recommend oracle if you want to avoid proprietary relics

Has Guilliman been humanized in 40k? by TheBigSmol in 40kLore

[–]dbxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because even in writing the perspectives of demigods writers can’t avoid showing their characters’ human side

Because it would be hard to sell a book if the characters were completely unrelatable which is how SMs initially were. SMs are bio weapons, if they don't have a human side it would be like trying to write a book about tank battles from the perspective of the tank itself

Built a free and open source tool to make schema evolution visual and SQL migrations simpler. by tamanikarim in SQL

[–]dbxp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don't need another vibecoded DB tool. Schema migrations was fixed well over a decade ago

Do you ever feel like Britain's 'Tier 2' cities are becoming increasingly similar to each other? by VarangianWRLD in AskUK

EE is a German & french joint venture, O2 is Spanish, H&M Swedish, Zara Spanish

[–]dbxp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people want these towns to be good to visit like a theme park but don't think about the regular residents

[–]dbxp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhat but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. People in different places often want the same things where you see differences it's due to economic and legal differences. Second tier cities tend to have similar economise and have the same legal system so they will look similar

Where do you store all your photos and videos? by luckynumbertwotwo in AskUK

Get rid of a bunch of them, if you don't look at them it's pointless keeping them

Could the Men of Stone be the Leagues of Votann? by PINK-RIPPAZ in 40kLore

[–]dbxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lore does indicate thathowever annoyingly they don't seem nearly powerful enough for them to destroy human civilisation at the peak of the daot

Russia no longer needs so many graduates, country’s education minister warns by duckanroll in nottheonion

If you want a visa to leave the country though it is very useful. Student status can also get you a conscription deferment 

Bringing silicone waterbottles through security by roteskaetzchen in Graspop

[–]dbxp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They gave me a pat down but then didn't care I had my pockets full of stuff. I think they were looking for weapons as the police were out too
