Risking to repeat myself to often: France's Gravelines was running at ça. 50% the following months, due to jellyfish blocking cooling (second year in a row).

Source: it was in the (local) news, plus I was in rather close proximity.

What does that have to do with corruption?

I agree with the general claim of their safer space. Yet, I see several possibilities why that ended in an unnecessary aggression police operation -- esp. LKA in every federal state seems to overcompensate for non-action on devastating crime.

I don't see the connection. Explanation welcome. Esp. since I don't won't to have a last word on a topic I don't know enough about.

Utter nonsense.

It's the same here. AfD content gets pushed on YT. No matter how often I ignore channels.

Big tech is so rigged (intensional or not), the question if it is socially net negative has become rhetorical.

As if dumb thermostats last really that long. Ours from Brötli died after around four years. The replacement has a manufacturing date from 2008 -- what a joke. The firmware in those things has bugs (like switching some, but not all programs at midnight) that will never get fixed; it works, but not flawless.

Considering this I wouldn't mind a smart solution that lasts /only/ ten years, but gets bug fixes during its lifetime.

AFAIK the penalty in the EU is up to 4% of global revenue.

Value of a mature tree is normally several thousand euros here (I don't know about Finland). Multipled by 250K. Times 3 -- a decent factor for illegal acts. Would be a appropriate compensation for Finland.

All that's described there scared me at first. And then I realized I'm luckily not living in China or the US. What a sick nightmare.

"Open"Table... really? ... DisgusTable would more fitting.

Me too. Even personal task planning. Dumped Trello for lists in plain text mails. Accessible and editable everywhere (I just forward the changes to myself).

I decided that I don't want a private life that needs GANTT charts or org mode for interesting projects. After half a dozen of time management books I realized that this is just another form of procrastinating: * reading a lot about time management * overcomplex tooling * shuffling time slots in a calendar

The solution is a simple (check) list as a reminder. Calendar only for hard deadlines. Plus "just do it" attitude. The rest will follow. Or not, if life is otherwise too busy -- which I simply accepted.

The results don't differ much from before. Except: less time wasted with software.

Well, time to kick some Irish nuts.

It's baffling the EU spoon fed that shit hole for ages and then they are even to lazy to collect taxes from the big ones. I hate Ireland for that.

Oh, come on! It should have been "3"!

Now did the Lord say, “First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out.

Just part of the playbook to funnel money to the sycophantic billionaire clique. Otherwise those IPOs would have faltered already.

US tax payer's stupid money. Rest of the world: go, get the popcorn.

Did they learn not to fix overflows by checking a variable for "> PHP_INT_MAX"? That patch was hilarious. But you might have to meet Perl greybeards to understand the fun the internet made of the PHP core devs after that.

I repeat myself: do not buy LG. They are creepy repeat offenders.
