It's apparently impossible to order something from the Belgian Amazon site to have it shipped to the US. Is this true, and is it true for every non-US Amazon site?
  • After some more trying (logging in with my email rather than my mobile #) it seems like it's working now. I appreciate the encouragement, I was ready to give up!

    I found this aftershave I'd been looking for on Belgian Amazon (amazon.com.be) - they dont sell the same kind in the US anymore but it's apparently still available overseas. I was going to see about having some shipped to me in the US and couldn't figure out any way to do so. I know the US Amazon site has this AmazonGlobal program where people from dozens of countries can order from the US site and have it shipped to them but apparently the non-US sites dont have a similar service available. Am I missing something?

    Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
  • I got a small roku tv as a display for free, can't complain. I will never give it access to the internet. My only complaint is I can't have it auto connect to hdmi1 and instead it defaults to asking me if I want to watch the Great British Baking Show and I have to tab over to get my desktop display showing up on it. But yeah smart or not, no internet for you, Roku.

  • The sense of motion in that is palpable, I can almost hear the music playing during the portrayed fantastical dog and pony show. Imagine seeing this occasionally on it's original wearer and catching a glimpse of this weird scene portrayed on it. Eye catching to be sure, a lot of people would have seen and been delighted and charmed by this piece back in the day.

  • Is it ethical to place a birdbath next to my berry patch with the intent of letting my cats get there predatory instincts out?
  • In the winter growing up we had a big ol tomcat and he would get the winter blues when feet and feet of snow would fall, so we'd get a 5 gallon bucket, punch a hole at the base at one side and fill it with birdseed so it would pour out slowly and set it up against the snowbank. We dug a little cat hole in the snowbank that faced it and laid a warm blanket in there for him to sit and watch and hunt the birds and squirrels. We loved that old tomcat, I still have a painting I did of him. Mom would pick and dry flowers and put them in his bed under the layers of old clothes and he would sleep on it near the wood stove and dream of spring. Cats spend only a short time with us and we owe it to them to do anything possible to make their lives more joyous and fulfilling. Thank you, stranger, may you have many happy years with your cats.

  • Cities these days
  • Did you end up eating more pizza than you would otherwise? Also I feel like everything in my apartment would smell like pizza which would get old.

  • Is it ethical to place a birdbath next to my berry patch with the intent of letting my cats get there predatory instincts out?
  • Cats eat birds. You are punishing your cat by getting only a bird bath and not spreading heaps of birdseed around too to attract birds and squirrels for prey. Go for it, cats will thank you. Think of their purring, their adoring eyes. Be sure to put camoflagued and comfortable ambush sites in close reach of the killing grounds. Cheers.

  • Trump rallies plummeting! Sell! Sell! Sell!
  • Do you have any evidence at all that it could be a landslide? Your point of view suppresses the Harris vote, people stayed home in the 2016 election sure that Hilary was a surefire winner and then turned around and called her unpopular and unelectable. I can only assume you are intentionally sabotaging Harris' chances with your feel-good highfiving.

    Harris has refused so far to support more popular Bernie-style politics and acts all smug about how well she did in that debate, and Democrats cluck their tounges at all the scandals and untruths that Republicans are going through - Republicans don't care, think its funny and will stand by Trump to the ballot box and likely beyond.

    The election, if we're lucky, will be won by Harris if you excuse the expression, by a cunt hair considering how election deniers have been packing the voting officer volunteer rolls and if you aren't filled with cold dread at Kamala being literally left off the ballot in Montana and Georgia requiring hand counting of all the ballots before the day after the election, I don't know what to tell you.

    Don't fall prey to the wine-drunk good vibes of gala event liberals who believe they won't really suffer much if Trump wins, and would rather have the short term reassuance now that we're fine and nothing more needs to be done than put more effort into actually making that landslide happen. All of America is in deep water without a life jacket here.

  • Trump rallies plummeting! Sell! Sell! Sell!
  • He's saving his energy for what he expects will be a win, he's got a lot of powerful supporters and they'll be using every trick in the book in the coming weeks. I'm to the point where any good news about Harris or mockery of Trump is infuriating as it puts Harris voters in a more confident position and will lead to lower turnout as they think she's got a better than 50-50 chance, at best. Her campaign and her supporters need to be pulling out all the stops and pushing as hard as possible to the finish line rather than basking in their illusory lead.

  • As a European I look at America and wonder how anyone can vote for trump. If you do, please help me answer this question
  • Politics is complicated, and depressing and difficult to learn about. When a reality tv host hires the most corrupt public relations team he can and pitches it to a pro-wrestling level demographic a lot of them respond. Anti-intellectualism as well as people just sick of the system that in general, Republicans have pushed to make as frustrating and unusable as possible over the past 20-30 years.

    Also not voting for him but I have to know a lot of them for the work I do.

  • What was your last refund? Why did you get your last refund?
  • Prepackaged antipasto gave me days of horrible indigestion

  • Harris’ post-debate gains sustained in US polls, but Republicans likely to gain Senate control.
  • The Harris campaign better have more tricks up their sleeves, 50-50 isn't good enough. More corporate reform to help labor out? Something widely popular that neither campaign is pushing. They aren't really pushing a charm offensive like they should and are being more self-congratulatory and preaching to the choir.

    Stocks @lemmy.finance Asidonhopo @lemmy.world

    How far back can we accurately plot the value of US stocks?

    Like, if I wanted to see the price fluctuations over time of Wright Company of Orville and Wilbur Wright fame is there a website I could view it on? A 10 minute google didnt provide me any answers so I'm curious if anyone has looked into things like this or if I'll need to contact the Library of Congress to see something over 100 years old because it isn't digitized? Or does that data not exist any more for some reason? Did it not even get recorded?

    YouTube update breaks fullscreen on my Android 9 phone

    Breaking things that worked flawlessly for years, nice. Hopefully fixed soon. It's not just me is it?

    Screen rotates when I click the fullscreen button but video doesn't fill the screen, rotates back to vertical after a second. I was able to get it to work properly by turning on rotate screen in the pull down menu and then turning the phone. It still remained in the squashed format shown above but when I pull the video down and then tap on the minimized video it pops out into full screen finally. So it's still usable but the 5 step fix is pretty frustrating.

    No I haven't filed a bug report, youtube is a grownup company and do it's own rudimentary beta testing. Sad to see unforced errors like this more and more common in longstanding industry standard apps.
