In Spanish “Una burrada” is used to describe a massive amount, an excess. I guess it checks out.

I like cheese, but I didn’t know I liked Mozzarella so much

I would either get a used HP Proliant microserver Gen 8 (I own one. Pretty sweet) or get a mini ITX nas case, 4 or more bays. Depending on USB doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. You can always sell your mini PC. I have slowly learned to avoid the sunk cost fallacy.

There goes another dependable car, motorcycle and outboard manufacturer. Nissan is the Japanese Renault, or any of the Stellantis brands. I have owned 2 Nissans and a Honda. I’d buy a currrent Honda in a heartbeat. I won’t touch a Nissan with a 10 ft pole.

Fucking World Central Kitchen! They keep using their so called refugee food in these stainless cylindrical containers so that Hamas can make rockets! Terrorists!

Du duaaa

Europe has many stealth subs, I mean scary stealth, like pop up undetected in the middle of a US carrier group and “sink” a US carrier stealthy, several aircraft carriers, and four or five of the world’s top 10 arms exporter countries.

Missiles, Eurofighters, Rafales, Gripens, F35s, nukes, last gen frigates and destroyers…

Overwhelmingly superior in tech, generation, and number to what Russia has and Ukraine is being given. Also a tech and and manufacturing might vastly superior. Ukraine is not Nato. Even without the US, Europe would wipe the floor with Russia, and Putin knows.

That said, if combined with the US would really make it a special operation.

Also remeber that the USSR was able to defeat Hitler because of Allied material, especially US through Lend-lease.

A shotgun with buckshot should be enough to take them down, and in New Jersey there are more guns than in Texas. I saw this in a documentary (The Baritones or something)

Whistleblower deaths should have all of a company’s director’s investigated by default. It may be that 99% are innocent, but just one or two seeing their massively valuable stock, and options in danger, may be driven to such actions on their own.

This is actually how the weather was before the 2000’s. I’ve lived in Spain on an off since the 70’s. In those days it snowed in Madrid several times a year. Now it’s rare. Torrential rains on the coast and flash floods were a fairly common occurrence, to the point that a massive river channel was built around Valencia to prevent a flood like they had in the 50’s, and which probably saved the city from the last flood, from the DANA.

But yeah. Climate change sucks. Many climate scientists say that the worst part is not the 1Cº increments, but wildly changing conditions.

When CDs were introduced they were touted as essentially eternal and damage proof. Id take M discs xlaim with a pinch of salt

One thing about the Chinese push: The quality is not there. A friend has a BYD. I had a chance to take a really good look at it. Things like primer showing in certain areas. The manufacture appears rushed. She also had the infotainment controls fail, and the dealer is dragging their feet to repair under warranty.

China can make quality stuff, but it appears that in this case they are pushing price at all costs. Maybe they will improve quality as time goes on, but right now I wouldn’t buy. There are some decent options in Europe. Renault is doing a decent job. The R5 electric range is not great, but Ibelieve they start at under 25000 Euro.

Maybe western and Japanese finally will get their act together, out of sheer terror, and pose a real challenge to the Chinese.

A major problem is that Western and Japanese makers are decades or even over a century old, and work in an incremental, not disruptive fashion. Changing that mentality is hard.

Consumables drop in cost per page the more you pay for the printer. Business printer consumables are cheaper per page.

Lasers are often overkill for many home owners who print a few dozen pages per year. Also, Lasers are inferior for printing photos. Even a cheap inkjets if printing on photo paper are way superior for photos. That said, pay services are the better option for most.

I print quite a bit, so I own a BW Brother for volume, and an Epson for photos and other stuff. I realize I-m not a n average user, though.

I generally use compatible cartridges. I can buy toner for my Brother for something like 15 25 Euro from amazon, and carts for Epson for 25 Euro for an 8 pack. They work fine. BTW, I bought the brother laser, new, in the box, from a second hand marketplace for 60 Euro. Basic printer, not a MFP, no scanner, b duplex but not wifi, which is probably why they sold it, probably a mistake buy and outside the return window.

Go get a hotdog come home with a 75" TV. All retailers have loss leaders. I’m a customer, Their prices are generally good. Their store brand is generally excellent. The return policy good, they are fair to good to their employees. I like it

How is bazzite as a daily driver?

If he goes free, he could apply for work in the new US camps. Pretty good CV there.

I used to date a girl who told me that she had dated a guy with an XL dong. I have very standard equipment, and she said that it was great, as it was fine in all occasions, while the other sometimes created problems. I obviously chose to believe her :) That said, I think that the majority of penises falling within a certain range, is an evolutionary thing, making the average work well more times, thus enhancing the chance of offspring.

While I admit that I used to think trading was gambling I now know that while there is an element of gambling, there are a lot of measurable factors that make the “gambles” much more informed, even market psychology to some extent.

I have smoked and vaped alternatively. When I’ve vaped I have breathed as bad or worse than smoking. Vape liquids are propileneglycol (or some other glycol, can’t remember) and glycerine, often in 50/50 or a close ratio up or down. When vaping you are coating your lungs in oil. Probably not better than smoke. Different type of harm, but definitely very harmful. Just think about it: oil in your lungs…
