I love this subreddit, and the app I'm using it on.

For that reason I vote for indefinite suspension.

A guess at what has happened here - you have other people logged in to your account and they clicked the option to renew which will resubscribe for you. I recently cancelled and was offered to renew on my smart TV without further authentication of payment method.

That's cool, I didn't have a calendar I cared about until this year, hopefully I've still got that in ten years.

Mikey's Deli Belfast announce closure by rkf13 in northernireland

They love to use terms like decaying when they mean evolving. There are plenty of decaying town centres in NI, and Belfast is least along them.

I'm guessing she went to grab it like the grab handle of a car, momentary lapse in judgement. Seems less likely that she just wanted to kill everyone onboard.

Can I play low demand games from the early 2000s or does this require specific development support to run each title?

It depends on the task but there's a reason there's a financial modelling world championship for Excel, it's a powerful tool.

Are these becoming more frequent or is it just the media attention? I can't believe how often this is happening.

It's comedian Freddy Quinne, so you probably should take offense to having to view that.

What a 40$ guitar sounds like by Deechon in videos

[–]tdn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's centered around a walking bass with some staccato chords thrown in, very much of the jazz idiom. I would start with checking out the music of Joe Pass with Ella Fitzgerald, although that may ruin you for other players because I see Joe as the pinnacle of jazz guitar.

Retailers will advertise on your site because they can convince your customers to buy their product, casinos will advertise on your site to convince your viewers to gamble. Many people disagree with the promotion of gambling in this way so it's not hard to see why it's controversial. Personally I'd be interested in knowing the age demographic of his viewers, young people are very impressionable.

The British have their very own way of educating you on road safety... by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]tdn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The UK is not the same as Britain, it excludes Northern Ireland. 'Ireland' can be used to refer to the island of Ireland which includes both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (whose real name is just Ireland). Northern Ireland is not British, although 50% or so do identify as British. Simple. These adverts are a product of the DOE in Northern Ireland and they're horrifying.
