He he, except for the Italian incumbent energy company, where the only avenue is a Call Centre, even for complex cases... but it’s obviously a strategy to wear you down and give up on your complaint. Despicable

Hey let’s not make it a freedom of speech issue. If you speak the words “if you what I dislike I’ll beat you up” you’re not asserting a 1A right, you’re just a bully

Yes but also no... while it's true that it doesn't accumulate in the long term, in the short one it does induce a dynamic equilibrium with a higher concentration of greenhouse gasses that do contribute to atmospheric heating a

There's a whole new world of opportunities for co-working, mixed-working out there and they'll explode after this pandemic is over. I had to cancel my co-work subscription when no client would accept my proposal to work remote. Wh

Another way around is to water down the parts that displease your interests, or choke them up with insane process without formally violating the constitutional letter. The Italian constitution is among the most robust and failsafe legal gro

What I don’t get is how many howl and cry foul at Apple for its Store “monopoly” while anyone can opt-out of it by switching to any other of the myriad competitors. While in this case, Google is very likely abusing its dominance to coerce t

IMHO the suspension was very sensible as well as the identification of a mitigation protocol. This is how medicine is supposed to work: no emotions or politicking about second-order effects on public perception and so on. Just the facts, an

It’s still a nightmare to run IntelliJ on the WSL mounts. Vscode support is much better but it’s support for JVM languages is definitely a downgrade

Funny (sort of). I remember the outrage when Italians realized they had no more swabs and the USA had cleared all stock under their nose. “Well, bloody thank you, allies & friends? /s” was the most charitable take... and it goes on

Well, as someone else on this thread wrote, it does happen all the times you're not preparing for a presentation or a blog. If you're building something marginally different from the routine the curtain is drawn, and IMHO you&#x27

That’s all fine and nice, except when the magik doesn’t work and you’re ctrl-clicking for hours trying to figure out what darn annotation is breaking the whole incantation. Or you realize a that the tiny tiny small configuration change you

oligo-dendro-cyte = few-branch-cell My biggest regret is to have never studied ancient-greek. So much mental load associated to pure mnemonics would just disappear in favor of upfront understanding.

Don’t these “bespoke design” make these tenders skyrocket in price? Couldn’t they have retrofitted a standard van? These excesses - typically designed to feed the government undergrowth - remind me of what the early Thatcherites complained

But it does so at the expense of those looking to borrow it productively. Wealth tax punishes hoarders without the collateral damage of preventing most from having sane mortgages.

Well, I’m only worried that interests go up because “governments have to fund themselves on the market”. This would mean sabotaging the post-COVID (and post Austerity) stimuli by preventing the middle class from accessing sane mortgage fin
