. Just call it 90 minutes. If you use minutes it sounds like less time

I imagine that a dollar store disguise mask should work wonders. Actually, I’m going to buy one today and do the face verification that Aliexpress is now requiring for many items, even basic cutters, for example.

Not to be confused with Glitoris, a Gnome app which does the exact same thing.

I don’t see why “free” food and drink, beyond water, has to be provided in basic fare. It just adds a layer of cost.

If you want food service, pay for it.

Last time I flew through Madrid, beyond security, there was a Burger King (a bit more expensive than regular), a bunch of other deli and coffe places where you could get sandwiches, baguettes, etc, water fountains to refill your bottle all over the place, and a bunch of vending machines with sandwiches and snacks.

Makes sense to me.

Please look up populous and populace.

That I had to scroll this far down to see this is rather telling of the state of education.

If you have decent coffee, you get the grind dialed in, and a half decent sub 300€ expresso machine, you can get very very good coffee.

I have owned a small resto in Spain, so I kind of know a bit about expresso.

The coffee experience is 100% subjective, anyway.

Some like light roasts, dark, some Arabica, some robusta, some espresso, pour over, some percolated (I just barfed a little in my mouth here).

There is a lot of bullshit being peddled by coffee influencers who every week have to make a video about the same subject to keep making money, anyway.

Yeah, good luck. I’m fuddling about with a local AI setup, with RAG and web access, and it usually accesses like 2-3 websites and takes a bit to figure out time and date.

Early W10 was actually pretty decent. I have it running on a windows tablet, and a stick pc, both 2gb RAM.

One is getting Linux, but I have to do a bit of digging to decide on the distro, as many are becoming kind of bloated too.

I use CP/M, BTW.

AI. No car has that much gas in it these days.

There is Huawei Harmony OS.

Chinese, etc, and I don’t know about licenses, but it’s mostly compatible with Android apps. I have a Huawei tablet, with awesome hardware, but de googled from the get go. I mainly use it as a media consumption device, though. No mail, banks, etc.

I’m working on ways it right now. Aliexpress wants me to do a face check for some items. I’ve been a customer long enough to have been born and become a legal adult as a customer!

They don’t want my face for verification. It’s an excuse to feed their AI, which is already scary good at voice.

I’ve been toying with this idea, items are classified as “new or perfect condition” “used but good condition” " near or EOL"

If you return it in the lower tier, you pay the owner a third of the value.

It’s even muddier than that. Most socialist parties in Europe have no intention to move towards communism, they are more akin to social democrats.

Yeah. Southern Europe, and especially Spain are really triggered about the omission of siesta there!

Most printers come with lower capacity “starter” ink or toner carts. Also, many brother carts are sold in regular and XL versions. I do onsite IT support, and sell consumables. Brother compatibles can vary in quality, but are generally fine. There are reports of newer Brother firmware downgrading quality if they detect compatibles, but I haven’t seen it in the wild.

Interestingly, horses sweat, dogs don’t.

Is the measure in Imperial pick ups,

or metric pick ups?

Which is still better than most other brands.

Libre office draw is pretty competent.

Affinity layout is also quite capable.
