Cook at home mostly. Every now and then maybe every two weeks we go out. And twice a week I send the kids to get kebab or pizza at the plaza in town. Never have had anything “cooked” delivered… because no such service where I live.

Me thinks this is funnier where universal healthcare doesn’t exist

Thanks that was it. I can lock in and focus the wall style very fast, as it is the most common. This took me while but got it with the finger trick!

For some reason I’m getting the depth inverted. Mt. Saint Helens looks like a hole in the ground.

Pre-teen is the worst age for this. Just try to get your kid past this the best you can. Happens everywhere, eventually they will mature and learn.

Heck, this is always the plot in school movies.

Besides that it is safer, I don’t hit my front splitter on the curb.

A typical hamburger is about 500 kcal so you would have to go up those stairs 100 times to burn it off in theory.

But science is now saying that burning off calories isn’t related to excersise… you burn the same amount doing or not doing physical activity. So I don’t know if this is relevant anymore.

In the region of Albacete (Spain) we have a similar word… and no, it’s not related to the video game giant:

Ea.

Vote to leave Europe and then complain that you lost all benefits living in Benidorm

This is my take on this. People blaming the software but the truth is that no software can be trusted. Make backups. Make mistakes and learn. Sometimes it will be painful, but those are the most valuable lessons

I regularly go to “La Mañica” in Albacete, where you can get the baturro with a drink and coffee for less than 10€. That bocadillo is bigger than my arm.

ViRGE 3D, upgraded the memory with 2 chips to play Tomb Raider.

Do the numbers! Check that the range is at least double of that you need. Check if the purchase price makes economic sense. Put priority on wants and needs. Think of resale value, because you never know if some life changing event can happen.

I avoided that bullet in 2017 when my e39 blew the headgasket. It was either a modern EV or hybrid or a cheap second hand gas guzzler. At less than 5000km a year the numbers told me what I needed to know, and looking back, my Mondeo ST220 has been much cheaper overall, fun and dead reliable.

We have all heard this song before and know how it ends.

In southern Spain you can’t dig without hitting some stone age stuff. My town was a known stop for travellers before the Romans took over because of fresh water wells. Eventually a roman road was built about two millenia ago, and still ride on it with my bike for some routes.

No old buildings remain, this was a roadside village and stuff was made cheap and not meant to last, but there is a funeral arrangement from 600 BC that was unearthed and sent to the national museum. More info

Some easy examples you can relate to:

• do you work overtime, even for a minute, and don’t get paid for it? Wage theft!
• does your company make fun of people using their allowed days off, making you not use them? Wage theft!
• does your company make you buy tools required for your job, because the ones available are shit or non existant? Wage theft!
• does your boss call you during your days off, holidays or vacations? Wage theft!
• are you assigned tasks that are more suited to a higher compensation level, but don’t see a dime? Wage theft!
• are your coffee and lunch breaks interrupted early or entirely canceled and not compensated? Again, wage theft!

Ulefone Armor 21 has a RGB notification led on the front and a light ring on the back.

It also has audio jack and get this… FM radio!

It also weighs as much as my bed, but I wouldn’t want anything else!

We have a budget for streaming services. ATM Netflix, HBO max and Showtime. About 20€ a month. Me and my wife like a good classic flick every now and then, so the two latter stay. The kids eat up crap Netflix series like candy. Everytime they ask to get prime or Disney they have the choice to give up Netflix to change… but they don’t.

If ads come, or the price goes up too much will consider canceling. Until then, it suits our wants.

When I was about 12, my father brought from the airbase thrift shop two books of the “Tell me why” series. It blew my mind knowing how stuff, iI never paid attention to, worked.

From then on I knew that there was an explanation for almost everything, it just required looking for the right book :⁠-⁠)

I took WFH for higher pay in 2013. It makes sense because I’m more productive without the noise, uncomfortable lighting, interruptions and subpar hardware.

Not conidering going back to office unless things change A LOT
