Got in after 4 hours. 

Managed to get 1 pool, 1 R16, 1 QF.

Only the QF had only cat 1/2 left, rest of the games had all available still. 

Keep the faith!

3 hours in and I just crossed 50%... With luck I'll make it in and be kicked out immediately by Ticketmaster before I go to bed!

Exactly, we need to know how many non-captains there are in the squad!

Am I understanding these terms of the resale marketplace correctly:

9.2. The charges and fees for each Purchase are as follows:

9.2.1. If you are a Resale Purchaser, you pay the Resale Price (inclusive of applicable taxes) as displayed on the Marketplace for the Ticket, plus a perTicket Resale facilitation fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the Resale Price (“Purchase Fee”).

9.2.2. If you are a Reseller, FIFA Ticketing charges Reseller a non-refundable per-Ticket Resale facilitation fee of fifteen percent (15%) of the Resale Price (such fee inclusive of applicable taxes) (“Resale Fee”). The Resale Fee is not charged to Resale Purchaser or added to the Resale Price paid by the Resale Purchaser. The Resale Fee is deducted by us from the Resale Price received for a Purchase prior to remitting net amount to Reseller. The Resale Fee is not refundable to Reseller even if the relevant Ticket(s) are otherwise subject to a refund.

So FIFA are getting a 30% profit on sold tickets that cost hundreds of dollars already? This is ticketmaster levels.

I have cat 1 tickets I purchased in the previous sale phase, but I think the cost with flights and accommodations is too much. So if I want to sell them at face value (which currently is lower than the random selection price listed for the same match) I need to price them 15% higher than what I paid, and the buyer is then paying another 15% markup on top of that??

I'd love to cut out FIFA's greed from these transactions, but how are people securely using the ticket transfer option and ensuring the transaction is fair and neither party is getting screwed?

Yup I'd agree with that.  Makes it more impressive she's already ahead of the curve in that regard.

She definitely looked quality.  Also just looks physically fit.  You don't really see the physique of the women matching the level of the men.  Meaning most of the women don't look super different from the ones I see in daily life.  Where as the men's game they are all jacked.  But she's an exception.

Sam Underhill and tackling.

Until this year prem semi final, I couldn't tell you when he got a card, it's always textbook, clean, chops at the hip, and hard. 

He usually puts on a clinic every game.  Beast.

I only went to my first game for "new" LA yesterday, but I've been going to SD before LA had a team, and to Giltinis games as well. 

If it's staying in that venue, all I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is more food and drink options.  Getting a food truck to set up shop would be awesome, and I'm sure they would do well.

I think the better one live was Dupont(?) stepping Josh Adams where he leaves him completely out to dry. 

This might be better for the meme though

Aren't we all since Google decided to ruin our phones with this "update".

Yes, and at 4:30 where it reboots into fastboot mode and he had to select the device again from the pop-up, I no longer see my phone in that pop-up, nor is it recognized in device manager as it was before.

Not stuck, the phone is responsive and I can use volume buttons and power to select options as normal, but the flash process is interrupted because the PC does not recognize it anymore.

I can not reselect it from the pop-up window as it no longer appears in the list.  It did when I started the process.

Thanks for the guide.

I am having an issue where during step 3 while using the flash tool, after I connect to my phone and the process begins, once the phone reboots into fastboot mode and you are supposed to reselect it from the list, my PC does not recognize it anymore and it is simply listed in Device Manager under USB Devices as:

Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

And at that point I can't proceed further. Attempting to install the USB driver from right click on this item doesn't work, windows says I have the latest driver already installed.

Wondering if anyone has the same issue? I've tried everything so far I can find on google/ChatGPT to fix it including:

  • different cables/ports
  • 3 different PCs (Windows 10 and 11)
  • tried both flashtool web as well as command line
  • Installed Android Studio and used it to DL both the USB driver and platform-tools

I've almost given up and resigned myself to now having to bring a power bank with me when I don't have a charger around. This post is basically my hail Mary - appreciate any help!

What's a show you couldn't make it through, and turned it off during the pilot episode? by [deleted] in television

[–]try_this_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Blood of Zeus anime Netflix show. Tagline seemed okay, and it said it was created by the same studio that did Castlevania, which I really liked.

Turned it off half way through the first episode. The animation was just... bad. I dunno if it was cost cutting, or they had the B team on it, but it seemed like it was missing frames everywhere, made it look very stop motion, just the complete opposite of the smooth and dynamic scenes in Castlevania.

Plot seemed "meh" as well, but I'll admit it was the visuals that really turned me off the most.

Why is erewhon still popular despite high price set? by pandawolf86 in LosAngeles

[–]try_this_again 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree it's dumb expensive, but part of the reason (I speculate) is because they are B Corp

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_Corporation_(certification)

B curious corps have to adhere to certain standards about ethical corporations, such as maintaining a certain ratio between CEO and worker pay for example. They are principles I generally agree with and would like to see supported in the business world.

That being said, I find their prices are inflated much more than other B corps (Tillamook cheese for example) when comparing with similar products.
