March 10[edit]

Unleashed "Death Metal no compromise" hoodie[edit]

This is probably a long shot, but maybe someone on the reference desk can help me out: I remember about 5 years ago on an Unleashed concert they sold a hoodie that had the band logo printed on the back and the words "Death Metal No Compromise" in bold white font on the sleeves, and I'd really love to have one of those hoodies. They are no longer available on the band's official merchandising site, and I haven't been able to find one by googling around or by checking ebay or any of the metal t-shirt sites I know. This may well be a stupid idea and probably not exactly a proper use of the reference desk, but does anybody by chance know some online store that still has that hoodie available for a reasonable price? "Reasonable" (as in the amount I'd be willing to pay) would be about 40€ for the hoodie and no more than 10€ for shipping to Germany.

A lot of merchandise like that sold at concerts is made by small vendors with concessions (or by bootleggers) who simply buy cheap shirts/jackets, run off some decals, and sell off a very limited stock with no overhead. There's most likely no factory anywhere with a stock of these. Your best shots are: go to or find a new concert and have someone buy you what you want, look on sites like ebay, or, buy a hoodie and make the decals yourself. μηδείς (talk) 12:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GPS tracking shoes - also available for children?[edit]

GPS Tracking Shoes Give Dementia Sufferers Freedom - See, it'll keep tabs on dementia patients.

However, wouldn't paranoid parents want these for their kids so that when they're not within sight of one another, they can relax in knowing that their child will not become another Etan Patz thanks to shoes that track their whereabouts?

Anyway, what stores will sell such shoes for kids? How reliable is the GPS tracking service? If evaluations have already been made, what are the reviews, results, etc. like about them?

And if your spouse gave you shoes as a present that you later found out tracked you, how would you respond upon that discovery? --70.179.161.230 (talk) 04:45, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
