Because it's still really gross if a 50yo man is dating a 18yo girl. 18yo are really quite childish still, behaviour, decision making. 18 just happens to be the legal threshold in most places, but imo it only gets not weird at 25 or older dating whatever old age, than it's really just two adults

    This is the "light" version. The worst are when they don't even have street facing windows, only concrete and garage doors facing the street and all around the house nothing but concrete/tiles, no greenery. These houses make me so sad while walking around a neighboorhood :(

    EU has since long introduced for example the emissions rights: CO2 emissions have a price. EU has steered towards electrification of cars, buses and trucks. EU has implemented policies to decrease trash production etc etc

    Keeping Fossil fuel very cheap with subsidies is exactly what will cause economic crisis and suffering. Steering away from fossils does the opposite.

    I am well aware EU (and mainly many memberstates) also support fossil fuels in various ways, but it is in no way as black and white as you paint the picture.

    No, it's not the goal of the EU-policy towards Russian fossils to make fossils more expensive, just a side effect, but it's not a bad one. And I don't think it's "the capitalists" deciding those policies, they'd probably rather have just continued the trade from before 2022. The fossils lobby is powerful but there are more players and influences at play. Things are very very rarely as simple and black/white as some people try to tell you. The harsh truth is that no one is truly in control, there are many things that happen and not everything happens for a reason or because someone powerful decided it. The world is organised chaos.

    Which isn't a bad thing imo in the long-term. Fossil fuel should be expensive. It helps people make better decisions, maybe they'll get an e-bike or e-car, install the balcony solar panels after all, insulate their house a bit better instead of traveling 4x per year etc etc

    It's kind of the goal in this case. Balancing between making gas exports for Russia harder and less rewarding, while maintaining some import to EU somehow so EU citizens don't freeze and economy keeps producing. It's more a political geopolitical game than a capitalist one in this case.

    It doesn't matter how boring you are. You are still a voter and a consumer to be squeezed maximally for profit and to be diverted from revolting and chopping billionaires heads off, just like every other person on earth

    I hate windows. But I have to use it for work. The worse it gets, the more I want to break free completely, minimise my exposure to this OS. The only part I truly cannot do without I think is Microsoft Excel.

    Replacing with Excel 2016 or only using webversion or so is insufficient for sure, for work it needs the SharePoint/auto save etc etc stuff. Also power query getting data from SharePoint online.

    Replacing with Libreoffice or so seems completely impossible, there's too many 'special' files in organisation, with .xlsm macro mess, I don't control all that, I can't fully steer away from such mess but need full functional access.

    Other than Excel, I think I could do all my work from a Linux desktop.

    Is it possible by now, reliably working in an up to date excel from a base system Linux? What is the way? Have people done this? How? Do I need to run a virtual machine with win11? How do I do that? Does anyone here have experience with it? I have high degree of control over work devices and boss couldn't care less, as long as I can get my work done.

    Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong community for this question (where would it belong better?)

    Best HTPC distro? (sh.itjust.works)

    I caved to black Friday promotions and ordered myself a fan less MSI Cubi N ADL S with N100, 4GB ram, 128 GB m.2 SSD and a Rii F8 remote.

    To run as "smart TV", mainly jellyfin, dvb-t2 antenna, YouTube, local public channel streaming from their websites.

    Which is the hottest HTPC distro for this right now in your opinion?

    It needs to be easy to use for non-techie and super stable and reliable, rather than fancy or brand new and hype.

    To replace my current "attach the steamdeck to TV when needed" setup (so I can play on it while something is being watched). And this was experienced as not easy enough for non-techies?

     

    Glaubt Ihr es ist Zeit zu ernten, schon zu Spät, oder wird es vielleicht noch besser?

    Gorilla Cookie Auto, ich habe nicht wirklich viel gemacht, nur in nen topf auf dem Balkon mit automatische tropfenbewässerung und 2 Monate ziemlich ignoriert. Pflanz hat letzte Woche viele blätter verloren, werden Gelb und danach runtergefallen.
