If there were one. The closest thing is the Treaty of Lisbon, which in turn was an update on the Treaties of Maastricht and Rome. However, the matter has been heard in the European Court of Justice in 2002, and the short version is "Co

Humbug. Defence policy, especially how the EU member states choose to organize their military forces, is very much in the hands of the individual countries. A majority of the member states don't even have conscription anymore. Yes, the

Most of economics is educated guessing, and having more data (hopefully) leads to better guesses. With this study there's plenty of leads to follow. Does the ABV have an impact? What about the base price? France vs Italy?

Goldman speaks of the current tariff regime; the study here looked at 2019-21 wine tariffs. Also the tax burden will fall on different places depending on the markets and the good in question.

I couldn't let this be, so I went through the commits and as far as I can tell, that's the case. The committer/author names and timestamps are consistent with using --author on a commit (... or in a few cases, --amend --autho

UTC+2 isn't very convincing as an argument for Russia. Only the Kaliningrad exclave uses that timezone, and if I were in a state-backed group, I'd live in one of the big cities. Also quick search suggested UTC+3 was seen during th

Way more than a foot, but that's the general idea. There's a soil remediation project near my workplace (former railway depot). They've dug up several meters deep by now.

For most of Great Britain, the grid north differs from true north because the grid cells are fixed size, so they "fan out" compared to longitude lines. The exception is the 2°W meridian where the grid lines up. The magnetic north

It's Juice (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) and it's not yet anywhere near Jupiter. Its trajectory has a few slingshot loops around Venus and Earth, and it's just coming off the Venus encounter. It's about 0.43 AU from the c

Wikipedia lists both "cat" and the Finnish "mäki" under æ: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-open_front_unrounded_vo... Do you have some example words that would show the difference?

Do you have any examples? As a Finnish speaker the Swedish "a" sounds the same. "Pappa", "framtiden" etc. It's "ä" and "e" which have swapped uses, but it's not exactly consistent

I took the electricity spot prices for the first three months of this year (so that it covers the cold period), and ran a simple simulation on it. The simulation model assumes we're charging during the 12 cheapest hours, and dischargin

22.8 €/MWh is just 2.28 c/kWh and that's a very low bar to clear. Just yesterday we had 6 hours of negative prices, followed shortly after by one hour at 2.66 c/kWh and four more over 3 c. Friday had swings from 0.4 c to

My preferred method (Resmed Mirage FX) is to put the mask on, but without the hose connected. Then turn the machine on, wait until I can hear the air whooshing out of the hose and then clip the hose to the mask. ... but also as @elric has s

I usually go with 240 ml if scaling down and there are fractions involved for slightly cleaner numbers. Another "close enough" value is the binary inch of 25.6 mm. Makes dealing with /32s and /64s oh so much easier.

It's the other end of the scale that's very relevant in northern latitudes (Celsius was Swedish, after all). Negative temperatures => it's freezing. A very common morning coffee table discussion (translated from Finnish):

I once forgot to turn off the iron after soldering, and didn't have auto power-off. Ended up reviving the tip with very careful application of 600 grit sandpaper. Not as good as new, but got at least a few years of use on it.

I'm a fan of the SnCuNiGe alloys. I've got a roll of Felder Sn100Ni+ and the feel is quite close to lead tin. Of course you need more heat, I've found 340 °C best on my iron.

From the press briefing: the ship Eagle S was stopped and found to be dragging its anchor. Or rather the chain; when the chain was raised there anchor was missing. Coast Guard and Police are on board.

I don't buy that number (no source is attributed to it), or rather, I don't believe there's a single incident causing this. The C-Lion1 cable is predominantly North-East - South-West whereas the BCS cable is NW-SE. They do me
