Ik koop Simon Lévelt. Ik drink maar een paar mokken per dag.

But it is what their corporate bosses are worried about.

For people saying “it’s fine”, they are probably not talking about the same thing

I assume you mean this monstrosity:

Which is indeed a crime against humanity. My parents used one and kept me from realizing that coffee is delicious until I was 18 years old or so.

The other people probably mean this simple yet effective device:

Especially the comment about 60 million Italians.

The moka pot is great and I use it to make my own latte every day.

Windows 8.1 was released in 2013, so yeah, a blast from the past!

You can move and make new friends!

Not sure what to do about the family though. 😔

The Punic Wars were another step in the endless grinding of the Romans against every region bordering their territories. Yes both Carthage and atomen were expanding into each other’s sphere of influence, but I don’t agree that either side considered it a struggle for ultimate power.

Rome was never a democracy. Rome didn’t have a single war that made it hegemonic. Sorry this account is just fiction.

My understanding is that glass from the screen likely shattered and hit his ear?

In any case, a little better aim and we would have a better world.

In a society where women are often harassed, many women use bathrooms to escape men, even if just for a few moments of peace.

In the fine article people were at the home of their representative.

Across the street was the house of Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va. The imposing brick home was darkened, the curtains were drawn. No car was visible in the driveway. But for the assembled, it was a last ditch effort to get some kind of attention from the Congresswoman.

I don’t think this is true, although maybe in some places.

For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟

That’s what I thought but there’s slightly more than that.

The writer tried to trick ChatGPT 5, saying Vermont has no R in it. ChatGPT did say “wait, it does”. But then when pushed it said, “oh right there is no R in Vermont”.

I mean… the inability to know what it knows or not is a real problem for most use cases…

Netanyahu is a terrible human being but an amazing politician.

In Israel all governments are coalition governments, and as Netanyahu got less and less mainstream support he tacked further and further to the right, joining with crazy religious fundamentalists because that was the only way to stay in power.

My understanding is that very shortly after losing power he will end up in court on corruption charges, and maybe die in prison. Not because of crimes against humanity, but for crimes against Israel.

The maximum is 61%, which doesn’t seem that high to me. It means 3 of 5 Democrats trust the most trusted source.

Much more important to me is that the Republicans basically only have one news source that they trust: Fox News.

The distrust of the news is a great tool for fascists, because in a post-truth world they can just substitute whatever nonsensical, hate-filled ideas they want for reality.

There are more Jews in the USA than in Israel?

It helps to be aware of things the capital class does to try to divide workers.

For example any story about generation gaps.

It’s also good to support less wealthy workers when you realize that you are all workers. Join a union even if you’re well-paid and relatively safe.

Tech industry folks realizing that they are not in the capital class should be welcomed, not blocked by gatekeeping.

There’s a lot!

Nixon was a potty mouth.

I have never used the downvote button before now. Enjoy!
