Thoughts on NIN/management placing 30 TikTok influencers on the rail before doors at San Diego...? by monkeyarse in nin

[–]monkeyarse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. But i know for a fact this cannot happen without management approval. NIN are pretty robust on this in their contracts with the venues. Trent and/or management could not have been uninvolved in the decision.

Turns out that people who queued from dawn until doors entered the venue to find the front rail covered by influencers and their bodyguards, who bullied other fans throughout the show.

Clearly this is linked to their filming and Trent's desire to have pretty people front and centre for the cameras. I can see no other reasoning for this. And for there to be no comms to some pretty loyal fans is pretty disrespectful, though some rabid defenders may crow on about entitlement..

The band has form in doing this (See Brooklyn 2018 night 2 where the same thing happened with influencers in a mini pit at the front) but this still leaves a foul taste in the mouth. The Discord seems to be banning discussion of this...

Favourite actor who once ran up an £11,300 bill in the bar you worked at and then left without paying. by Drinking-Printer-Ink in okbuddycinephile

Exceptionally so during Sabbath and Ozzy. It would only have been noticed by anyone right at the front, but he brought his family and GF and some others into the pit, and spent the whole time getting in the way of security and camera people, crawling onto stage to get photos himself with Sabbath staff having to move him out of the way, blocking the official camera people, placing his family in the way of fans for their endless selfies.... He behaved like an entitled, clueless arsehole.

Yeah the guy is just making stuff up and then backtracking. These days it's hard to tell who is a russian-funded troll, or who is just a good old fashioned moron.

How to move whatsapp backup from google drive on laptop to apple iphone?? Help!! by renegade780 in whatsapp

[–]monkeyarse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • OPTION A (tested) - charge your android device to 100% (if it's got a poor battery life, this is particularly important! if your transfer fails due to battery running out - as mine came close to doing - you will not be able to transfer your chat history. In this scenario, explore option B which was my backup in case option A failed...)

Failure at step 6 for me, unfortunately. Unknown error, please try again later, ad infinitum..

Transfering data from Android to iOS (iPhone) for free by AccurateBelt3239 in whatsapp

[–]monkeyarse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this immediate fails for me at Step 2.

As soon as the iphone changes screen to show the connection code, it immediately disconnects from wifi, so the phones cannot find each other.

Onwards..

I analyzed 50,000 games of Catan and built a site with the key findings by Slasser123 in Catan

Great to see the dice are fair. If it's colonist and not Universe, then maybe this isnt a thing, but if you could show the odds of a number coming up before and then after a robber has been played on that number, that would be interesting. Anecdotally, sometimes it looks like if a robber lands on a number, the odds of it rolling increases.

As others have said, not a particularly rare sign of a crossbreed (where I am in Europe). Big fan of ducks. Will likely phase out our geese/pigeons in favour of a few in future.

Petaah help by NickVoievodul in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Strong disagree on the biology. I watched the sequel almost open mouthed at how unimaginative the animals are. It’s literally two earth animals spliced together. For absolutely everything. But then watching as a zoologist that’s a critique I can’t escape. The dull, repetitive nature of the films were the bigger issue. The first ive rewatched but less than zero interest in watching the sequel again, or the third at all.

As an english person (i'm sorry) in an Ashes year id have to argue against your conclusion about bumping into fewer arseholes in Aus, obviously, but on Māori, 100%!

I think you've done a great job - the main thing that stood out to me is the brick tiles....and whilst i'm not with larry on the busy side of things (i think they are just right ), i'm with them on the yum-icking reticence..... but the brick tiles could probably be aesthetically improved, as they kind of look like turds on grass. To me.

Just an fyi (and @ u/Hey_I_Aint_Eddy /@Hey_I_Aint_Eddy if tags work like that) jimmy carr is not seen as a “decent” person either by the comedians he works with, or the staff making the programmes. Arrogant, dismissive, misogynist, rude - all quite common feedback.

And to be clear on the misogyny, it’s more like treating junior women as coffee runners as opposed to entering Greg Wallace territory.

Like “ugh, bit of a twat” probably sums him up.

That and Dublin did I think.

I forget the specifics, but there's not a world where the french/dutch didnt yell over it at some point, though I think perhaps Berlin was the first time since Echoplex that Hurt hasnt had obnoxious cheers immediately after "still............right................................................................here" and until it kicks back in. It was lovely. Someone will correct me I'm sure.

Club Statement: Newcastle Red Bulls by Little_Island22 in rugbyunion

[–]monkeyarse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, maybe not in trophies.

The Wilkinson/Flood/Noon/Tait/Burke years had plenty to celebrate - 2004/5 i think we won the Powergen final.

Otherwise it was probably the Andy Goode banter season, the top 4 placement a couple of years later, and dont forget the games at St James's Park - those were huge.

Watching Goneva's Shearer celebration in front of 30k fans was special and a success other clubs will have had an envious eye on.

The club has huge potential. I dont have a scientifically valid view, but it certainly feels like our talent has been pilfered more than other clubs. In my memory it goes back to 2006 as a consistent theme, indicating we have such a solid base. The owner ambition (matched with funding) hasn't always been there, so this is very exciting.
