How many scaramuccis?

Winning and refusing to accept the prize would be a much more powerful message with the biggest audience.

This is a stunt.

Some other things from the 30s, too.

As it should be. This is not food, shelter or healthcare, let them gamble and the shareholders or customers pick up the tab. Nobody needs paramount, if it’s too expensive, cancel it.

The fine is for Twitter, so if we make it a percentage of value we might end up paying them…

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?

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.

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.

But only if it’s the weekend. LÖRDAGSGODIS MOTHERFUCKER!

Welcome to the club, it’s called everyone and we meet at the bar.

¿Por qué no los dos?

I’m patiently waiting for some kinetic sanctions against this.

That’s the only problem I had with it.
