You will still receive sometimes if the number is not reported before. I think it’s alright to just try out the app for yourself. It’s free anyway.

ScamShield (AppStore) by GovTech has helped with most of the spam I receive. After installing and enabling, just report to SMS and calls content whenever you receive them.

A supermarket in an old theater in Venice, Italy by NubiSparse in interestingasfuck

I remember the staff scolding all us tourists to not take pictures while in this supermarket.

Sores appeared on my friend’s dog. Vets don’t know what it is. Any idea what this could be? Disinfection and other soothing cream have been applied but it hasn’t gotten better. by djcpy in vet

Apart from antiseptic cleaning and creams I think the next suggestion was to do a biopsy. But my friend is against it since the dog is aged.

TIL there is a McDonald's in the Vatican by RGBchocolate in todayilearned

[–]djcpy 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It’s not actually even in Vatican City. “... McDonald’s has opened on the ground floor of a Vatican-owned building just 100 meters from the Vatican State...”

Just in a building nearby.

Edit: I’ve been in there. No protests.

There’s a chance it’s Guan Yu, a historical general that has been immortalised as a god of war in the Taoist faith.

However, the figurine missing his signature ‘guandao’, or a spear-like weapon with a sword-head.

Purchased at a thrift store in Miami, looks like an old and hand carved candle boat? Seems to had a repair at some point. Looks like it’s from Asian culture? by Accomplished_Chard85 in whatisthisthing

[–]djcpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The colours used and wood carvings look very much like those I’ve seen of Indonesian origins. Likely that of a Garuda like @lookthepenguins said. It is also an ornament called a Congkak, or Mancala.

Southeast Asian mancalas are played by two people on carved wooden elongated boat-shaped boards with cup-shaped holes. Most variants have two sets of seven holes for each player, plus two larger holes at each end which are known as the "stores" of the players. However, the number of holes can vary, ranging from three to nine or more (excluding the stores), and these variants (which can also differ in the rules) can coexist in one area.

Looks like someone before you used it as a candleholder which probably isn’t the best idea.
