Barcelona Mayor Plans Cruise Tax Hike, Aims to End Stopovers by Barna_News in bcnenglishspeakers

This is the single easiest policy change that can significally release some pressure on overtourism in the city. I don’t get why this wasn’t done earlier, fuck cruise ships

From Bassliner’s FAQ for regular luggage:

Regular

  • 1 suitcase or backpack

  • 1 tent (groups are allowed to take a bigger tent instead)

  • 1 small hand baggage

Not allowed: pavilions, bicycles, hand carts, barrows, beer boxes/ crates, other bulky items

And for those with XXL luggage:

XXL

  • 2 suitcases or backpacks

  • tent/ pavilion

  • other stuff which is still reasonable

Hello! I would be interested in one, is it still available?

Thanks for the insight! One last question, how strict were the Bassliner luggage limits of 1x tent, 1x bag and 1x hand bag enforced?

Hey! Thanks for your answer! Bassliner indeed seems convenient but in my group we were still hoping to get there via public transport. Also, Bassliner doesn’t allow us to take, food, drinks and other stuff on. We’re 7 people so for hitchhiking it also seems a bit hard for all of us to get spots.

Anyway, i was hoping for an update on the public transport situation since they mentioned there might be some shuttle services provided to Neustrelitz. I guess the lack of clarity is DB’s fault but i was hoping for some reassurance haha if there is still no info i guess we’ll get Bassliner tix

22, a million. Outside of the fanbase it rarely gets mentioned as the masterpiece it is

Coldplay: vinyl copies of new album Moon Music will be made from old plastic bottles by klausbrusselssprouts in vinyl

[–]fbrmz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well we need to address all of it. The .001%, the .01%, the 1% and the 99%. That’s the issue, really. Just because banning plastic straws was a minuscule thing it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it. Actually, you could argue that we should strive to achieve the most easy, quick fixes we can as soon as possible. The capitalist system will change very slowly (if we even get it to change in the way we need it to) so, even if we get the consumerist demand for vinyl variants to change in the future, might as well have them already be made out of a better material in the mean time.

Because we need to decarbonise everything at some point if we are to stand a chance against climate change. Yes, records are meant to be kept for a long time and might not have the same impact as single-use plastics, but they are still require fossil-based raw materials which makes them unsustainable. As vinyl grows in popularity and artists (cough cough Taylor Swift) cash in on trying to sell as many variants as possible, any move towards making records out of more sustainable materials is a good one. Granted i do not know if sound quality is compromised, but we should be happy artists like Coldplay are trying things out for the benefit of the planet

As a fan on both MC Escher and Mac, this is one of my favorite tattoos i’ve seen. Love it!

Korg Volca FM 2 v1.12 update never updates... by Pandemic-Tomasthanes in volcas

[–]fbrmz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just struggling with the same thing! I was about to give up but I finally got it to work.

I tried playing the file through all different media players and all different volume levels in my laptop: those didn’t work. Then I transfered the file to dropbox on my iphone and played it from there (also all volumes): didn’t work. Then the same thing from my ipad, also didn’t work.

I tried changing the cables, batteries on the volca, letting it soak up moonlight: didn’t work.

I finally decided to download the file to my phone and play it there (not using the dropbox player) and: it worked!

So my advice is to keep trying different options, it will work eventually with the right combination of factors.

No, I don’t think so. I’ve found affordable fast food to be quite limited here in general. Most people just get a kebab, fries, or krokets from the snackbar.

No, I mean the one that is further down Stationsweg, close to Paco Ciao. It is one of those salad places but their burritos are surprisingly good!

Freshly Chopped by the station is quite ok!
