I’d put it this way: being a parent is basically a second job. If your workplace takes 100% of your work capacity, then there is none left for raising children.

Now all we need is a central AI that controls the drones via a grid of satelites. We could name this system… I don’t know… …Skynet?

[…]affects any employee, not just working class[…]

Any employee is -by definition- working class.

My first thought, too! It would make a super fancy pc case. And still not the most expensive component, with current RAM prices…

This powder primer flask has two reservoir chambers joined in the middle. The priming powder was dispensed from the terminal in the form of an antelope’s head.

It’s not clear from the description, was the second reservoir for the charge powder? Would make sense, otherwise you’d have to fumble with a second flask during reload.

What’s even more concerning is that it doesn’t really cool down at night. For end of the week night temperatures are forecast to be 26°C at their lowest here in Berlin, which must be a new record.

A fine and rare terrestrial globe, containing a slightly smaller celestial sphere, both unsigned, each made up of two engraved hemispheres joined by screw thread at the equator.

Hollow earth conspiracy confirmed!

The smiley faces on a 400 year old dagger are a bit …irritating for a modern viewer. ; )

One trowel to rule them all…

Silver presentation trowels – sometimes called ceremonial trowels – are tools that are used to commemorate the construction of a building. These presentation pieces are recorded to have emerged in Europe in the 18th century, with widespread use occurring by the later 19th and early 20th centuries.

Fascinating. I’ve never heard of this tradition.

In most of Europe, it is.

Furthermore, these groups do not hold a favorable opinion of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which came in second place in the last election, behind the conservatives. “When I’ve asked about the AfD, they’ve described it as a kind of ‘useful idiot.’ The party and its leaders are despised, but they are strategically used to gradually shift the boundaries of what can be said further to the right, so that, at some point, even more extremist parties can emerge,” the journalist explains.

That is actually an interesting insight. So the right is not as unified as I thought?

Personal taste doesn’t matter when you have to deal with American HOAs or the German Denkmalschutz (Monument Protection Agency). This tech is a godsend.

Thanks for the review, it’s really helpful. I want to use it for making musical instruments with my cnc router, so it should be fine.

AFAIK, they only technically survived. None of them fully recovered.

“If, for example, you ignore paying your debts, if you don’t comply with decisions from Swedish authorities, if you cheat the benefits system, if you cheat your way to a Swedish residence permit… then you do not have the right to be here,” Forssell said.

Other examples the government cited as examples included working without paying taxes or not paying fines.

“Just don’t be poor.”

“Statements – that is, things a person says or expresses – should not in themselves be regarded as evidence of lack of honest living, but they may be an indication of, for example, links to violent extremism, which can then be a sign of deficient character,” Ludvig Aspling, migration policy spokesman for the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats which is propping up the government, told reporters.

Absolutely dystopian.

It’d be incredibly funny if Gotland would be swallowed by the sea after being called “unsinkable”. It’s not entirely unthinkable, since sea level rise caused by climate change already threatens coast lines at the baltic sea.

If you use Firefox, you have a local translation feature built-in.

Seems like they’re asking for the Tyler Durden “refinement”.

You make unfounded and esotheric claims about the properties of your product.

Fuck off.
