OfCourseNot

Bit rude. When I’m visiting family or friends and the time to leave comes, it costs me nothing to be a polite guest and take some trash with me on my way out.

It does. I’m posting this comment on the Mbin pwa on my iPhone, works pretty well.

IIRC the forever chemicals are not the coating that stays on the pan. The Teflon coating is inert, the toxic part is the water soluble PFAS they use to apply it that would go away (away meaning everywhere, each and every corner of the planet) while or shortly after manufacturing, or with the first uses.

So if you already own non-sticky pans don’t get rid of them, but look for another alternative when you buy a new one tho.

Interesting. What is it?

This is not a military budget problem, the thing is Spain, or France, Germany… have already powerful enough militaries to have ended the war twenty times over. But wars, as Ukraine has showed, aren’t fought or won with money, but with lads being killed and killing the other side lads. The members of the European militaries live pretty comfortably, a pretty good wage just to play boyscouts, try telling them they have to go to die bleeding in the cold Russian steppe…

I just did a bit of research and it seems they do it with a printer! The company says the colour extracts are odourless and flavourless, the brown ones are made either from coffee or malt extract which would be a similar flavour profile than Guinness, and (a bit of educated guessing from the top of my head) I would put the quantity of ‘ink’ in these prints in the tens of micrograms, like 0.01-0.1 mg. I think the flavour and aroma wouldn’t be affected.

Newlines mean nothing in c. You can literally write any program in three lines of c, if you don’t give a crap about readability.

Small correction, the article doesn’t say he was going to therapy. It says that his mother was a therapist, I had to reread that sentence twice:

Neither his mother, a social worker and therapist, nor his friends

The mother, social worker, and therapist aren’t three different persons.

I’m pretty sure the Crown of Aragon wasn’t part of France in 1507 so I wouldn’t trust the rest the map either.

Remember kids: personal property IS NOT the same as private property.

I mean, ai bad and all but people have been doing this dumb cringe shit since always. Nobody remember the Snape wives

Don’t know about the glue thing, the smds were put by a machine, but they would move like the one in the picture if you didn’t set the machine right. I can’t say for sure with that resolution but I think those white things are the shiny reflections on the pins/solder. I will look into these smd glues tho, that could come handy.

And about the tape I have to say that my experience with wave soldering is not very vast, literally just one place, but they used painters tape, of the cheapest kind, and it worked just fine—no melting (it’s paper?), and no burning since the solder doesn’t get that hot (~200°C), the tape might stay a bit wet from the flux also idk.

To the second and third issues, I think they happened because of bad settings in the wave soldering machine, and/or not prepping the board beforehand. Maybe the wave was to high, or the speed too slow. Many times you have to cover the smd components with a bit of painters tape. Even the orientation of the board on the frame can matter.

An organized, disciplined military is more effective at defending against an organized, disciplined military.

That’s true. The thing is: defending what? The country? The government? The king? Going to war is trading my (relative) safety for theirs, and I’ve never been too fond of them really.

Defending myself and going to war sound like complete opposites to me.

Be my fucking guest! You and your children can go enlisting, I just have to do this thing and will be right behind you…

Remember that unemployment rate here counts only people inscribed in the unemployment services. I don’t think half of them are working illegally, at best that would be a rounding error.

Downsizing the bureaucracy would take many years, since public servants ‘cannot be fired’ (bit of an oversimplification, but the reality in practice), and would take some strong political will, which we lack in Spain.

And about the armed forces, I know some ex-military that are kinda left-leaning, but the average is absolutely right leaning (from straight up nazis, to ‘apoliticals’ that if you talk with them for a short while will let go some racist, homophobic, or generally reactionary comments very casually). And that’s the rank and file, if you go to the higher ups you’ll find, well, as many fascist as you can expect from a military that wasn’t purged or rehabilitated after a fascist regime.

Even then, when a coup was attempted, the majority of the armed forces shut it down

Do you mean the coup that the king himself organized so he could stop it afterwards to come out as the hero that saved the day while also putting some fear in the population?? That coup d’état ‘attempt’??

I don’t think that’s right. This other link (from another commenter in this thread), also euronews, says 47%. Anecdoticaly I get €1800 in my bank account every month, but cost my employer €3200.

Kinda tricky to compare taxes from one country to another.

Spain’s budget is ~21% of its gdp (with >10% unemployment you can imagine how bad they fucking bleed us with taxes, the poor I mean, for the rich is the same as anywhere else), but more than half of it goes to pensions, and we have a huge ,dense, and expensive bureaucracy that takes a good chunk of the rest (I don’t have numbers sorry).

So, I think you are right, there’s just no more money: touching the pensions is political suicide (and very unfair), scaling down bureaucracy is just impossible, rising taxes would suffocate us (even more), taxing the rich is as much of a fairy tale as it is in any other country…

On top of that, if you read a history book you will see that the Spanish military is a much bigger threat for Spain than the Russian. I don’t think it’s in the best interest of the Spanish people to give them more money.

I’ve been pirating since Napster, never have hidden shit. It’s usually not a crime, except in America it seems, to download content, or even share it freely. What is a crime is to make a business distributing pirated content.
