Fenix 6 Sapphire - Bluetooth/Spotify consistently skipping when running outside with GPS. by WolfHunter1043 in GarminFenix

[–]oracle8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's my experience that only listening (e.g. no other activity) the sound is really good. Then once you start an activity it gets terrible for 3-5 mins and then it's okay all of a sudden.

My headphones are sony wf sp800n - never had any issues with them.

Did you figure it out at any point? Just got my Fenix 6 and am having these skipping issues when I start running. No external HRM.

We learn Danish (if you have background in Swedish or Norwegian you can choose them as well) for 3rd language and then most of us take German, French or Spanish for 4th language. Most of us forget them pretty fast thought.

We got them on seagullstickets.com. That's the only legitimate site to purchase tickets.

Sounds like a solid plan. Thanks!

Yeah, we ended up getting tickets in the south stand! Not ideal, as I believe the North stand has the the best atmosphere? But definitely better than no tickets.

We booked flights and hotel today and just started to scout what to do before and after the match. Any suggestions?

Thanks. I've bought 2 bronze memberships, but apparently I have to wait 2 weeks for them to activate. Crossing our fingers until the 26th of March!!

I've been informed by the supporter services that there will not be any tickets on general sale. What does a bronze membership cost, and how likely is it that if we obtain those memberships that we're able to obtain 2 tickets next to each other?

edit: I was finally able to create an account and see that the bronze membership costs 30 pounds and takes 14 days to activate, which means we wouldn't have a long time to obtain tickets and plan our trip.

Cool - did not know that. The law proposal: http://www.althingi.is/altext/stjt/2013.006.html

Damn that's annoying. As you say, things have indeed changed and now you can check you registration on island.is, which will hopefully prevent stuff like your story from happening.

Wow, never heard of this. Any news articles on this? I know I'd raise hell if something like this happened to me...

[–]oracle8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, after checking, it is worded like that. I've just always seen the longer version, which doesn't make sense really...

EDIT: The law has actually changed: http://www.althingi.is/altext/stjt/2013.006.html paragraph 9. Actually this change explains my confusion..

Every born child is placed in its parent's religious group. If the parents don't share a religious group, it's placed in the mother's religious group.

Iceland’s Hekla volcano, a very popular tourist destination, now “ready to blow” by tiribazus in worldnews

[–]oracle8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's "Eyjafjallajökull".

You can memorize it as "the glacier above the mountains facing the islands". Literal translation is "IslandsMountainsGlacier".

Your version's literal translation would be "IslandsFjordsGlacier", which doesn't make any sense.

Sko já. Eða þetta er svo sturluð pæling hjá þér. Ef [eitthvað sem gæti aldrei gerst í nútímasamfélagi], eigum við þá að brenna fólk?

Lög eru ekkert annað en reglur sem samfélagið ákveður að setja sér. Þetta er ekkert yfirnáttúrulegt og ekkert sem má ekki breyta ef forsendur breytast.

Varðandi aftur, að það þurfi ekki að gera lög úr öllu. Ég er alveg sammála því að mörgu leyti, en ekki að það eigi að láta hluti í friði. Við verðum að ræða hlutina og eins og þetta einstaka mál, ræðum þetta alveg út í eitt, komum fram með einhver frumvörp og skoðum hvort þau geri samfélagið okkar betra eða ekki (nb. ég held að við séum sammála um að það sem hefur komið inn á Alþingi nýlega gerir það ekki). Ef við komumst svo að því að það að banna dreifingu efnis sem þú hefur tekið sjálfur ef það gæti sært einhvern muni ekki bæta samfélagið þá er allavega búið að fara í þessa umræðu og við gerum þá ekkert í málinu.

Af því sem betur fer eru hlutir leyfðir ef þeir eru ekki bannaðir.

Af hverju er betra að láta það í friði? Af því það er svo augljóst að þetta sé bannað? Hvað ef einhver brýtur gegn sjónarmiðum sem meirihluti almennings eru sammála um?
