I grew up with real ones but became lazy. Plus I lived for a long time in a 22m2 studio and no real tree would fit so we bought a skinny artifical one. A realistic one with some asymmetric branches and high quality stiff needles.
Still going strong after 10+ years and moving twice, will probably last another decade.
You should try buying a carp!
Only if you’re not careful
There goes the Nobel prize! What’s next, Azerbaijan attacking Albania?
I had the first Jolla phone (2015?) and it was okay, but the ecosystem is (was) very shaky. A few apps worked very well, thanks for volunteers and OSS projects but the overall experience was not amazing. Plus some services actively fight against, I remember issues for instance between WhatsApp and the mitakuulu app.
They are not too big to fail for Europe. The EU has fined msft, Google, meta and others. Apple even changed their flagship product to comply.
Why ban them when you can tax them and fine them if they don’t comply? Sure, we need to be vigilant of lobbying, but there are no current alternatives to most American tech giants.
Countries have a veto power for most important decisions, precisely to avoid what you described, and for many other things you need a qualified mayority (something like 80% of countries and 80% of population, 9r something like that).
It’s more like “you like communism? Look at every single time it has been attempted (on a scale bigger than a village)”.
Not the only thing, oligarchs from the east are also doing their part, and to be honest, oligarchs from within too.
Yeah, that and bullshit walking, balancing and alphabet reciting.
Stainless is just a piece of metal. Indestructible. No rules. Requires some skill to avoid food sticking, but it is doable. You can cook anything, anyhow and clean it however you want.
Non-stick is… well, non-stick, but there’s a ton on rules. No metal, no dishwasher, no stacking, … However they are really non-stick, no skill required.
Cast iron is like a middle ground. You cannot ruin the pan, but you can easily ruin the coating: no wine, no tomato, no lemon, no soap, no dishwasher, etc. And the non-stick effect is weaker than Teflon or ceramic, it still requires skill to use.
As a hobby cook I have never gotten into cast iron, I use 90% stainless steel and 10% non stick (mainly for pancakes) and for my wife who doesn’t want to fiddle with temperatures with stainless.
Scientific calibrated tests, like most civilized countries.
Those are not the only two options. I also prefer this to getting kicked in the nuts, but there are a million better options.
The land of the free, everyone.
If they could? They have tanks, for fucks sake. They don’t lack resources.
The only reason for bullshit tests is that the cop gets to feel powerful deciding himself instead of a specific measurement by a calibrated instrument.
But only if it’s the weekend. LÖRDAGSGODIS MOTHERFUCKER!
Welcome to the club, it’s called everyone and we meet at the bar.
Yeah, Bank apps and anything that has to do with money, even the parking app in my city, or the public transport app…
