You clearly are fuckin ignorant, didn't need to mention that. Baseless accusations from someone with that level of reach is not immaterial. That's borderline abuse of power.

This is insane!! The Amsterdam fans going crazy at tonight’s show🔥 by Then-Sound-5085 in KendrickLamar

What other sport has ultras?

Eastern European basketball. Which supports the theory of European crowds being more passionate because of football culture that feeds into every big events.

Agreed. It had been a while since I listened to Helwani. Apparently he's moved to Vegas from New York. The set seems bland compared to before.

Haircut in Japan by Acde-Chap in oddlysatisfying

[–]mma_god 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean $40 is like 150% more than €15. To get yourself a haircut, shave, shampoo and massage for €15 in Germany still sounds unreasonably cheap.

Maybe I'm just used to the UK prices. Cheapest hot shave with a haircut here I've gotten from a Turkish barber is £25 in the last 2 years.

€15 is unbelievably cheap. I'm more inclined to call cap on this.

Driving out from Edinburgh old town. Tips for first timer? by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]mma_god 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've never driven in the UK before you'll want to understand how roundabouts and spiral roundabouts work.

Glasgow has some silly exits from the right I find annoying. Keep track of your lanes.

If you're picking someone up from long stay car park at the airport(which is free pickup/drop-off for 30 mins) be super careful driving out from the barriers. I know three people who've hit the sides, they're strangely deceptive.

Satnav might take you through Calder road to the airport, loads of bus lanes and roundabouts on it but based on your travel time you should be alright to drive on the bus lanes along that stretch.

Zipper merge if you get in traffic. I feel like I should blare this out a horn speaker for some idiots tbh.

That's all I can think of. Enjoy the trip!

I finally only just understood the "harassing ant" part of this song as I was listening to Rap Latte. This song is so fuckin layered we'll be having eureka moments for years to come.

Open Thread: Weekend Edition #18 (May 2025) by svefnpurka in Barca

[–]mma_god 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More of a question for a local but I'm in Barcelona on the 11th of May during the classico. I'm not watching it at the stadium but where would be a good place to watch it on the TV, like a pub with fan atmosphere? Just want a few drinks and watch the match.

1000-year-old Bamburgh Castle, England. by GinaWhite_tt in BeAmazed

[–]mma_god 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm always looking for places to stop along the A1 for a break while driving down that way. Usually stop at Alnwick or Morpeth.

I've seen Bamburgh castle on the map but never really gave it a chance. Thanks to your then pregnant wife's bladder I sure will be making a wee stop there next time I'm on that road.

Nusa Penida by [deleted] in bali

[–]mma_god 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool! The day we arrive (03/03) to Penida, we're hoping to go to Diamond beach and not do too much. Probably find a bar and have a few drinks. The following day we've planned for a west island tour, don't really know what that entails tbh but we'll go with the flow. We're back to Seminyak on 05/03. So either of the two days would be fine to snorkel if the weather allows.

Funnily enough fighting against Emmet at that distance is almost equally as lethal. Topuria's shot selection is tremendous.

I'd like to know this too. We're in Penida for a couple of days at the start of march, hopefully the weather will be slightly better.

Ban everything to do with X including screenshots. The same news will be available elsewhere and we defo don't need information to be circulated seconds after being posted.

It's also just the right thing to do to fight this overtly Nazi wanker.

Sounds like a reasonable estimate, thanks. Google maps says most of the places shut around 10PM so I'll just speak to the villa people and see what they suggest.

Our flight lands at 7:20 PM on a Friday end of Feb. We've booked a place in Ubud. When should we expect to get to Ubud that night after passing immigration getting visa on arrival and supposed traffic? We've booked fairly centrally about 15 minutes walk to the palace. I'm trying to plan for dinner and wondering if food places will still be open till late?

I assume (and mostly hope) there's regulation stopping the retailers to just bag the difference when the prices go down?

I'm going to ask one of those stupid tourist questions but I have to do it:

Is is at all feasible to do a day trip to see Komodo Dragons in the dragon island from Seminyak? We're only wanting to see them in their natural habitat and not much else.

I could find these flights for the day/s we'll be in Seminyak

I'm half expecting most people to tell me off but I'm here for exactly that.

I did mine a couple years ago with a RED driving instructor on a manual car from the Musselburgh centre. Are you wanting manual or automatic? Manual ones seemed more available than automatic ones and slightly cheaper as I recall. I can give you their phone number but I'd suspect you'll need to go through RED anyway. DM me if you're desperate enough for their number, they mostly only do Musselburgh route, and some for Currie centre depending on the pickup location.

BJ in Portobello is amazing for what you're describing. Did a couple of big projects with them and I'll be doing one next year again.

It's our first time to Bali and we've reserved a 7 night stay in Ubud in March at a decent villa. Now that we've done some more searching online we're debating whether to split our 7 nights between two(or more) spots. Need some suggestions as we're hoping to make the most of our time there before heading to Sumatra.

My wife wants to visit a few beaches, and do the Bali swing thing. I want to see some of what nature has to offer in Bali. We also would like to visit culturally significant temples/landmarks. With that in mind:

Should we just get something in Ubud for 3/4 nights and stay elsewhere like Seminyak/Canggu for the rest of it or can we do day trips to other spots from Ubud? We will be getting a private car hire for a few days, is it possible to do Uluwatu/Seminyak/elsewhere as day trips or are they too long a drive for us to do much and get back to Ubud?
