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.
Do you have a bit of info on these Linux mobile OSs? The FP5 didn’t convince me as a main phone when I needed a new one last year, but if it can take a real Linux distro it could be a cool toy.
money, the copyright and the politics
Of course, the things that haven’t affected the internet or haven’t been affected by it at all.
I am from a ‘developed’ EU country. The first three days of sick leave you get nothing (this accounts for the vast majority of ordinary leaves) then 60% of the ‘regulatory base’ (which takes out ‘pluses’ or ‘bonuses’ that in some trades/jobs make for a substantial part of the wage) till the 20th day from there 75% (again without those extras).
In 22 years of working I’ve not been paid one single sick day.
Wait, you Frenchies have 100% pay for ordinary sick leave??? I guess we’ll have to get some hi viz vests and a handful of lighters over here.
Edit: is it just for civil servants? Do workers for private companies get a 100%?
No I didn’t, and like the other commenter I don’t buy it either. My comment didn’t say you don’t put the axle into the roll, that’s very common for machines that are roll-fed. My comment said you don’t leave it laying around in the middle of a factory. Even with much smaller machines, eg a receipt printer, where you put the axle into the roll before installing it into the machine the axle is part of the machine and usually there’s only one. You pull it out of the depleted one as you take it out from the machine, put it in the new roll, and install that roll on the machine.
How have I been proven wrong? The other commenter posted a (real) picture of a similar thing, that proves that these exist (which I haven’t put into question), not that the other picture is not ai generated. They even said that some detail bugs them, so no one has ‘proven’ the first image is a real photograph.
On the other hand, the poster of that link didn’t say they’re quitting art, just not posting it online. But even if that were the case, receiving (even unjust) criticism is part of being an artist.
This one’s real, but in the other one there’s no crane nor rails for it, and there’s no machine where it can go in like you see in the back of this one. I can’t put my finger on it but I have definitely ai vibes looking at it. As other commenter has said the machinery around doesn’t make much sense either.
Most certainly ai generated, many things in the picture don’t make much sense when looked at in detail. First of all, who would leave that absolute unit of a roll in the middle of the factory? With an axle inside?
[2] is ai generated or so it says. [4] is real but not as big, and not quite a ton, it says ‘307kg’.
Why is the word Israel, consistently through the whole site, between quotes?
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.
