I group my albums by artist, and I sort them by artist, then year of release, then album name.
Each song in the album is sorted by track number.
Music/Albums/Pink Floyd/Pink Floyd (1973) - The Dark Side of the Moon/06 Pink Floyd - Money.flac
I also make sure all tags are set correctly so that they get sorted correctly in programs like Jellyfin and Finamp
I always took the term “apartheid state” to refer to the way Israel treats Palestinians both in the West Bank, which despite beibg a separate country is also under military occupation by Israel, and at home within Israeli borders
To my understanding Hamas is in control of Gaza, and not the West Bank. In Gaza demolition happens by bombing indiscriminitely, rather than driving up with a bulldozer.
That is basically it yeah. The vast majority of gold was moved from the US (essentially 41% of Dutch gold reserves in the US were moved out), while we barely moved anything out of Canada.
The official reason is “crisis preparedness”, but I believe the actual unofficial and unspoken reason is that the US is simply too unreliable to store our gold.
It’s not that there is a shortage of sand in general. There is a shortage for the correct kind of sand needed to make a sufficiently strong concrete mix, in the places where that concrete is needed
At least if the styrofoam falls down it can’t kill someone by hitting them on the head. Maybe it was for safety reasons? /s
Which, if it works well, is a big deal as the headline claims.
The world is slowly but surely running out of sand which has the right consistency and courseness to be used as an ingredient for concrete. Manufacturing that sand artificially so that it is suitable for concrete is rather tricky, from what I understand.
That said… I’ve seen the weak-ass concrete mixes used in some Chinese tofu-dreg buildings. Let’s hope that the artificial sand is not the culprit there.
We know the US basically depleted their stockpile in the war with Iran.
This is a promise the US made to Ukraine after that to allow them to manufacture the missiles domestically, which Trump is now seemingly reneging on.
Funnily France will probably be the loudest opponent to giving Iceland this concession.
Realistically though this is the best opportunity for Iceland to try and get this concession, since Europe needs allies and the UK isn’t there to throw a spanner in the works.
The Brits are probably still a bit salty about losing from Iceland in the Cod Wars three times over.
The hope is that the European Union is willing to add water to the wine, and give Iceland an exemption to the common fisheries policy for the sake of finding more better allies in the world and expanding the European Union.
Maybe we’re in a simulation, but the script of history ended in 2020, and now an AI model is just halucinating what happens next.
Tipping is a thing in the NL. But this 15% nonesense by default can go fuck itself.
Tipping is gratuity, to be awarded for excelent service. If they dare ask me for a tip, I’d consider that rude and they’ll get nothing from me.
Like hell it is.
Card terminals may be asking for tips, but if they do that they’re getting 0% from me. Asking for a tip is rude and a guaranteed way not to get one.
I experienced it once at a place where I had to prepay for the drinks, so they dared to ask me for a tip before I even received service. The absolute guts of asking for a tip before even offering service…
Tips are gratuity awarded for excelent or exceptional service. Unlike America waiting staff actually earns a proper wage, so it’s not like they need tips to get by.
Usually it would make sense for the operator of a vehicle to be the one liable in case of an accident, not the owner of a vehicle.
I’d imagine that in the case of vehicle sharing it might be difficult for law enforcement to determine who was operating the vehicle if the person in question leaves the scene of the accident. Making the company liable might encourage them to divulge information on who was operating the vehicle at that time.
The Zwarte Piet discussion has been ongoing for the past decade orso, and especially a few years ago that discussion was very heated.
As someone who lives in the Netherlands, I get the impression that at this point the vast majority of people accept that Zwarte Piet in its old form is not really acceptable anymore. It does help that, unlike a few years ago, there have been proposals to update the tradition without making a complete mockery out of it.
The new the design of the soot-face Piet is a decent compromise, and more in line with the story we have been telling kids for decades anyway.
I bought mine in February for the purpose of heating my apartment without gas. It was installed by March.
Now I can count myself lucky that I have at least some relief from the heatwave in my office. (I’m only cooling the office during the day and the bedroom at night in order to save on electricity at the moment. There is no need to cool rooms which I’m not using)
I don’t know how it is in the UK currently, but here in the NL there aren’t any ACs in stock anywhere. They’re all sold out.
From the reviews I saw the U3 really only has macros.
In my opinion the activities are necessary for it to be a full-fledged Harmony replacement.
I’d love it if they’d release a base station-less version with activity capability. I see no reason why that wouldn’t be possible (other than potentially cannibalising their own sales with a cheaper and similarly capable model)
You are running from the assumption that anyone who is locked up in these prisons is also actually guilty of having been involved in gang violence. However there is a lot of indication that a significant portion of innocent people have been swept up in the prisons as well, without access to a proper legal defence.
And, in my opinion, the Salvadorian prison system is so horrifically barbaric that accidentally innocently locking people up is akin to violating their basic human rights.
