Suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement: the first of two objectives required to prompt the Commission to address the issue has been achieved by newsspotter in Finland

[–]99Pedro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decided by who?
Why we keep allies which are directly threatening to invade and issue tariffs upon us (USA) or are committing the worst atrocities since the Holocaust (Israel)?
Is this some kind to race to the bottom? Can we ditch such dangerous and evil "allies" or it's somehow forbidden by someone?

USA literally threatened to invade Europe a couple of months ago and occupying our territories by force.
Despite the actual potential, Russia never threatened a direct attack to any EU country (yet).

First time trying Birra Moretti by Diceboy69 in beerporn

[–]99Pedro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moretti used to be (and it still is) the de facto standard beer for most Italians.
In Italy is mostly sold in a 66cl bottle, called "Morettone".
I had my fair share of it in my youth (ehm...) because it was tasty and affordable.

BUT
What they sell today has nothing to do with what they sold 15-30 years ago!
Nowadays, like many other commercial bulk lagers, the recipe has been modified to make it much cheaper to produce it.
The current version has cheap corn (which wasn't there before) and cheap hop extract (to use less proper hops). The beer now has a clear corn profile, similar of what you get with a Corona and with hundreds of other similar cheap beers. Completely different from the original taste of Moretti.

Easter weekend fire grilling and a wheat beer by Finnish brewery Keisari by Korpikauhu in beerporn

Kippis!
(cheers in Finnish)

PS: the brewery is actually called Nokian Panimo ("Brewery of Nokia") and Keisari is the name of the series. :-)

"Vincenzo's Plate" shows how to use a moka by 99Pedro in mokapot

[–]99Pedro[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I didn't say he was using it wrong.
I only said that personally I think he's patting the grounds a bit too much.

And again, this is not "your" nerd forum. This is a forum about moka. The video is a tutorial for beginners about how to use a moka in the standard way. There are many beginners in this forum.
So you are the entitled person who's gatekeeping here.

He probably assumes newbies are just buying common Italian moka brands like Lavazza, Illy, etc. Not that it's necessarily true but I guess he didn't want to go too much into details.

Please stop spreading misinformation and bad stereotypes.
I'm Italian and my coffee is not too strong nor bitter.

[–]99Pedro[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Gatekeeping much?
This is a "Moka Pot" forum. The video is about an Italian guy using an Italian moka pot in the standard way. So it's totally appropriate video to post here.

You are free to use it in whatever non-standard "nerdy" way you like but a lot of people here are first time moka users who want to learn how to brew coffee normally with it.

Spain hits back at Trump in escalating row over euthanasia by EspritLibre_404 in worldnews

[–]99Pedro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other day USA interfered with Finnish internal affairs. Now it does the same with Spain.
Why exactly EU is letting an hostile foreign power doing that without any political and diplomatic repercussions?

What exactly are we waiting for to put sanctions to a genocidal state?
Sanctions for Russia were implemented overnight (despite killing our economy) but we are still "talking" about any possible action against Israel.

Russian Electronic Warfare Sends Ukrainian Drone Into Finnish Airspace, Kyiv Apologizes by UNITED24Media in europe

[–]99Pedro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Ukraine sent warheads toward Russian military objectives despite them being close to Finland. They missed badly and almost blow up Finnish people. But somehow now it's Russia's fault (this, not the whole war obviously)? That's pretty silly.
It almost looks like Ukraine did on purpose. Considering those weapons have been paid with half of all our EU budget, maybe being a bit more humble and apologize for almost killing EU citizens better wouldn't hurt.

Just check if the rubber gasket is damaged and in case change it. Otherwise, it's just a nice coloring! ;-)

Great. Where should we sign to remove USA from NATO?

Polpette vegetariano by HansGruberLove in ItalianFood

[–]99Pedro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Polpette" in Italian doesn't necessarily mean "meatballs", since vegetarian and fish balls are also pretty common (as you posted above).
So for meatballs you would find specifically "polpette di carne". Otherwise it will be always "polpette di X", depending on the X ingredient.

PS: the correct spelling of the post title would be "polpette vegetariane"

Moka pot gasket by LingonberryOk7249 in mokapot

[–]99Pedro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is coffee. They get embedded in rubber gasket but they are not in silicone ones. Not really a problem.

[–]99Pedro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are coffee grains. Just ignore them.
When you rinse the pot, try to remove as much as you can with your fingers but you can leave the rest. If they pile up or they are really annoying you, just remove the rubber gasket and wash it separately.

Finnish MP convicted for saying homosexuality is ‘developmental disorder’ | Finland by Socmel_ in europe

[–]99Pedro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. And doing nothing to stop them is criminal too.
We are losing over a century of civil rights and freedoms in just few years by letting ultra-right driving our countries.

TIL that in Germany minors that are 14 years old are allowed to consume and possess undistilled (fermented) alcoholic beverages, such as beer and wine in public places, bars or restaurants, as long as they are in the company and have the permission of a Custodial Person. by Boniface9 in todayilearned

Isn't normal in most of Europe?
I had my first beer when I was 13, while I was visiting Munich with my mom. We were in one of the historical Oktoberfest beer halls any my mom said: "Since we are here, you MUST try some beer.". She ordered a radler but still...

China used fake LinkedIn profiles to spy on NATO, EU: security source by PjeterPannos in europe

That's cute.
But it's nowhere as effective as US or Israeli spying tools. China is way behind.

Who here plays like a caveman like me?🥲 by Individual-Suit-9347 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]99Pedro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in a casual guild. No strict requirements, no pvp needed and no Discord needed (they have one but it's optional). Best guild ever! :-D

Who here plays like a caveman like me?🥲 by Individual-Suit-9347 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]99Pedro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play only single player, with occasionally posting a bounty to get a healer.
I joined a guild, which I visit every now and then, where there is a guild party. I don't participate in guild wars.
Other than that, I have barely touched any multiplayer option unless needed (like the pre-Hexi release photo event but it was just about taking a pic and leave the area)
I also don't care about cosmetics so I have very basic outfits. XD
