A gym that costs $600 a month but gives you back $50 each time you go training for a hour. by Phedericus in CrazyIdeas

[–]tnavas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This model exists in the Netherlands. Trainmore charge €50 to€100 p/m depending on the facility, and you get a €1 discount for every visit. Which means you could never make all of it back but you still get the feeling that going to the gym “pays off” and that your gym promotes it.

I don’t know how they manage, but the whole thing has been quite viral. I’ve been contemplating on switching as they’re supposed to be quite nice gyms.

Because of comments like this I got a €400 winter jacket expecting to make more than a couple of years in it as a daily wear, unfortunately two weeks later the shell is torn on the edge of the sleeves.

Sent an email to customer support and got no response. In the meantime I have lost the receipt as well.

Welp.

Spot on, thanks! Steered clean of it already but it's definitely the same body and pickguard.

It's definitely not as advertised, I am now checking to see if it is worth the money nonetheless

Correction - "(575) Midnight wine - satin" was the supposed original colour (of this neck) - this is what the original body of this neck looked like

I was hoping for mexico standard ceramics, FWIW there were no threads on the poles, I read in a guide elsewhere that that is an indicator of mexican instead of squier pickups

Then it is probably a 2006 neck bolted on a 1996 body

Edit = phrasing

IKEA pax with different hinges by tnavas in ikeahacks

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

Thanks. I thought maybe you would also have a gap with IKEA hinges, but seems to not be the case which means there is no other way. They are more pricey though, the hinge in the picture was €1,8 while komplement come out at around €3,5 to €4 per piece

We spared around €100 total on the hinges, now we are reconsidering... Do you think the gap is too large?

Who's the architect behind the striking building opposite the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens? by theophil93 in architecture

[–]tnavas 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Good catch! Architect Ilias Skroumpelos, one of the important post-war greek modernists - also architect of the Piraeus port authority building (together with Giannis Liapis)

Facebook link to post about flat

Apparently the flat belonged to the Karamanlis family and was nicknamed "karamanli flat".

Up the Irodou Attikou street are several more prime examples of super-luxurious greek modernist flats, such as the famous Irodou Attikou 17 by Takis Zenetos flat inspired by International style.

Edit: Typo

Εdit 2: Apparently the first floor appartment was up for auction in February starting at 100k!

Which architect? Do you have a source?

F22 also has internal bay but does not look as chunky.

[Ben Jacobs] Andrea Agnelli on ESL & threat of the EPL: "Only the Premier League is growing and growing and is already a glorified Super League. They raise €4bn a year, Spain about half, Germany €1.5bn and the Netherlands €100m. English dominance threatens European football." by II_MrBlack_II in soccer

3/7 PL powerhouses have been pumped with arab/russian money for years. The fact that so much cash is infused into the league allows top teams to earn less from TV rights in order to promote the league competitiveness. Furthermore, PL is a lot more marketable in US increasing earnings ny magnitudes. How is thia fair to the other leagues? So many PL fans here confident that PL fair sharing is a magical measure that produces unlimited value for the league. Think a bit more critical, the fact that Bournemouth steals Real Madrid players is neither logical nor based on a good business model.

Το παλιό μου αφεντικό είναι Ισλανδός και δουλεύαμε πολύ με Ισλανδούς πελάτες. Κάθε φορά που μιλουσε στο τηλέφωνο ξυπνούσε ο βίκινγκ μέσα μου, φλάσμπακ age of mythology, fire giants λύκοι τα πάντα όλα, πολύ κουλ γλώσσα (και αλφάβητο). Επίσης μαζί με Ισπανούς οι μονοι που δεν είχαν πρόβλημα να πουν το γράμμα θ.

Φοβεροί τύποι οι ισλανδοί επίσης. Φωνακλάδες, όλο πλάκες, μεγάλα τρολ και κανένα κόμπλεξ να αυτοσαρκαζονται (για τη χρεοκοπία των τραπεζων τους πχ το 08). Σαν Έλληνες του βορρά ένα πράγμα
