surprisingly what helped this a lot was moving to a place with a narrower dishwasher. it fills up basically on the dot every 2 days, you run it, you spend maybe 5 mins putting the stuff back because it’s not so much

Love to keep ~15k people employed at a subsidy cost of “you could gift everyone involved a guaranteed 5k€ a month pension tomorrow and be done with it”. Truly in it for the love of the game alone

Young men, there’s no need to feel down

Recycling properly is a good and necessary thing.

Recycling plastic is mostly bollocks by numbers. To go by EU figures at best slightly over half of it even is recycled, of which 35% is thermically recycled i.e. burned. Another 1,3 Million tonnes which I can’t be arsed to manually calculate the numbers for get “shipped for processing” i.e. end up in a landfill / ocean / slum someplace else.

remember when going online was a thing you used to do and not a 24/7 state of being

t440 gang what up

They’re sort of enshittified in the sense that with the older ones you could bash someone over the head with one and then keep using the computer but since that’s not a common requirement they’re just still insanely good

two triangles two wheels can make you go well far

I didn’t know the NATO is the arbiter of this. I’d’ve figured there’d be something less openly biased towards certain states here

The EU could get a ridiculous amount done if it decided to seriously invest in it.

Yeah but they’re never going to do that. It’s an overgrown coal union at it’s heart. Like yeah, sure, they found a lot of somewhat leftist mostly green movement things within the EU but that’s just PR. The GDPR considers “me making a lot of money” to be a valid reason to go start selling peoples data

I have this but for bicycles and ropes exclusively. First one is out, so I’m rope guy I guess

The hard part about a simple bicycle isn’t actually the bicycle, it’s smooth road. If you don’t have that you have to invent the mountainbike and that one’s not even a 100 years old.

how’s this explain germany, which abstained?

am I getting old? I got like 5 devices around that can take photos that are not a phone on account of before phones used to be able to do that you had devices for it

“The Computer never makes a mistake” is true and also probably responsible for people believing LLM-hallucinations uncritically

France announces they’d let Putin walk freely in France since Russia isn’t a signatory state of the rome statue

I feel like just saying this carries the chance of Donald Trump personally reading it and doing it if only to use it in some speech like “the losers in Ukraine, they say they can’t do it without our money, can’t do it folks. They say I can’t cut their money but I’m cutting it, I’m cutting the money to the [hard T] Ukraine, they can’t do it without us so I say they can’t do it folks.”

I don’t think this means “Etiquette (please and thank you)”, I think this means “Etiquette (look at this rube using his crab fork to grab pasta, what a yokel)”
