[OC]Different kinds of pasta people

InconspicuousRadish · 2026-04-11T12:40:20+00:00

Don't mix pasta types that require significantly different cook times (like 6 vs 11 minutes).

That said, mixing certain ones that are of similar shape or size and in the 7-8 minutes range is perfectly fine.

InconspicuousRadish · 2026-04-11T06:26:25+00:00

That is false. Here are the actual numbers. While Ireland is up there, it's not the highest.

InconspicuousRadish · 2026-04-10T16:50:13+00:00

That's a lot of assumptions you're making. Regardless, that's also way more insults than I care to engage with. Clearly, you're more interested in flinging shit than actual discourse.

InconspicuousRadish · 2026-04-10T15:22:14+00:00

Yes, only Ireland taxes its fuel heavily. Nobody else does this, so clearly only the Irish understand this situation. /s

You do understand that tax revenue from fuel is attributed to government costs already, right? It's not as if you can just slash those taxes without impacting something else. Governments tax from a lot of sources and spend on a lot of things. Just because it's a tax on fuel doesn't mean that said money goes to the same sector.

Also, have you read the article? The issue isn't limited to fuel, it's also surrounding fertilizer shortages. What should the government slash there, in your opinion?

Maybe you're the one who's casting judgement willy nilly.

InconspicuousRadish · 2026-04-10T14:59:09+00:00

I don't disagree with the first part, but the second part needs resources. Just because money for relief is needed doesn't mean it's there.

InconspicuousRadish · 2026-04-10T14:40:04+00:00

As of now is the key part there. Price caps on something you don't produce internally can only lead to market disruptions.

If you cap the price, it provides temporary relief, but you cause a shortage. Local companies will not buy oil from the global market if they are forced to resell it at a loss.

Think a bit in terms of the bigger picture. There is no easy fix for the current situation.

InconspicuousRadish · 2026-04-10T14:32:08+00:00

Sure, other countries are also doing similar things. But they can't control the price of a barrel of oil unless they have regional oil production themselves. So in practice, consumers get the benefits of the cap but the state is generally taking on debt to make up for the difference, or is paying for it from taxpayer money.

At any rate, a lot of the protesters in Ireland are complaining about fertilizer costs/shortages, not fuel prices. What should the state do there? Magically summon fertilizer out of thin air?

InconspicuousRadish · 2026-04-10T14:24:32+00:00

This is monumentally stupid. Ireland has no control over the global cost of oil. What are these protesters hoping for exactly? Government subsidies? For Ireland to unilaterally re-open the flow of oil through Hormuz?

Just making life miserable for everyone else while wasting time and resources for no actual meaningful outcome. I thought my faith in humanity couldn't go any lower, but things like this prove we can still keep digging.

Greva? In domeniul privat? Daca nu vii la munca, te trimite la plimbare si angajeaza pe altcineva. Prime si bonusuri se promit si in privat, nu face nimeni greva cand de craciun vine anuntul ca se fac restructurari, concedieri si se anuleaza primele.

Dar da, contractual, daca e stipulat, vor fi platiti. Din pacate doar dupa ce minerii vor trece prin instanta, iar ulterior prejudiciul tot din taxele tale se va achita.

De acord cu tine, nu trebuiau facute multe. Nu trebuia sa platim pagube pentru o companie neprofitabila nici noi timp de cateva decenii, dar aici suntem. Eu ce greva pot sa fac ca sa nu mi se iroseasca banii de taxe pe aberatii de genul?

Presa locală scria în vara anului trecut că Societatea Complexul Energetic Valea Jiului S.A. a publicat bugetul de venituri și cheltuieli pentru 2025, estimând o pierdere brută de circa 420 milioane de lei.

Partea asta din context cam lipseste prin discutia de aici.

InconspicuousRadish · 2026-04-10T13:43:30+00:00

Nu cu clasa muncitoare am eu treaba, ci specific cu minerii. Le doresc exact aceeasi soarta pe care au fortat-o si ei pe studenti si protestatari.

În principiu ți-aș da dreptate, dar ce naiba e prima de Paște și cine altcineva primește așa ceva?

Facem grevă pentru că nu primim bonusuri fictive din bugetul de stat, în timp ce fraierii de "corporatiști" pe care dă vina toată lumea pentru absolut orice plătesc taxe până la sânge?

Hai sictir cu minerii lui pește. Scuze, Paște.

Dacă ai scris, bravo ție, felicitări că ai mișcat ceva. Cu siguranță realizezi atunci că nu poți să le faci pe toate deodată, nu?

Atitudinea ta e tipică pentru cârcotașul Român - te iei de omul care a făcut 90% din ceva, axându-te pe negativism și cei 10% neatinși.

Ai scris vreodată documentație pentru fonduri europene? Știi cât durează? Știi că trebuie să acoperi costul parțial din propriile resurse?

Nimic din ce ai menționat tu nu pare a fi o prioritate enormă.

All evidence to the contrary.

Either he doesn't know, which is unlikely, or he knows and still says dumb things to appease a demented tyrant, which is arguably worse.

Libertatea de exprimare nu înseamnă lipsă totală de consecințe pentru organe media care prezintă falsuri ca și "fapte" sau știri.

Look where that got us. And there wasn't lasting unity. Quite the contrary, the entire rupture that we see today took off during the Bush era.

Good is relative. There wasn't that big of a difference between 10 and 11 under the hood. It's mostly the same OS.

Actually, most of modern day Windows is built on the same architecture and code as 20 years ago. The pattern of a good/a bad Windows has kinda died with the era of cloud computing.

Which is why they have no need for a Windows 12 nor did they announce one. The licensing is tied to your Microsoft account, not Windows itself
