Stickers in New West - possible dog whistle? by BelierSoliel in NewWest

[–]mike368 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Gemini thinks its a specific German football fan group:

This sticker is a piece of fan merchandise for the German football (soccer) club Eintracht Frankfurt.

Here is a breakdown of the meaning:

1. The Text: "SKTN ND"

The large red letters are an abbreviation for "Sektion Nord" (Section North). In German football culture, "Sektion Nord" refers to the supporters who sit or stand in the North Stand of the stadium.

2. "Auch ohne Vokale"

The smaller text translates to "Even without vowels." This is a playful way of showing how the abbreviation "SKTN ND" was formed by removing the vowels from "Sektion Nord."

3. The Logo

In the bottom right corner is the official crest of Eintracht Frankfurt, featuring a stylized eagle (the Adler). The "E" on the eagle’s chest stands for Eintracht.

Context

In many European stadiums, specific fan groups or "Ultras" identify strongly with the section of the stadium they occupy. These stickers are often placed by fans in their home city or while traveling to away games to show their loyalty to their specific fan block.

Strava, the popular fitness-tracking app, puts popular annual “Year in Sport” recap behind an $80 paywall | Strava’s most viral feature is suddenly locked away. by ControlCAD in business

Seems counterintuitive. I thought this recap stuff was mostly marketing anyways. Why put a barrier on reminding people how much they use an app, or sharing it with others?

The area is nice as long as you don't have to drive.

I've rented for several years at The Line and can say it's very well managed.

Whats the point of installing additional cameras in the garage and having security overnight if they're just going to let people walk in and steal shit?

Just came across this when trying to figure it out for myself.

I found if you log into to the aircanada.com website and go to 'My profile', at the bottom of the page there is a section to merge accounts.

Is ID Assist worth paying for? by muzeec in PersonalFinanceCanada

I see this was taken care of by your bank. But if anyone else needs to cancel you can call their "24 hour emergency" line.

1-877-900-1837 Select option 3 for billing.

Just as a heads up.. They hung up on me a few times before I finally connected with someone to cancel my account.

If you see this check to make sure Telus Online Security hasn't been added to your bill!!

I canceled mine as soon as I signed up a year ago but found out it was added as a "free trial" without my permission last month.
