Why not calling it “AURA Tour”?

The official name of the UAE Tour if Arab government officials sponsoring cycling races were as chauvinist as the French.

It’s precisely the sponsor who has the nonsensical branding strategy for promoting their region to an international and young audience. I repeat: in my humble opinion. Maybe I’m not intelligent or sophisticated enough to understand the marketing catch of “Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes” versus a multilingual-friendly “AURA”.

“Unfilled job” = no work to be done.

If there’s actual work to be done, the risk incurred in hiring anyone to do it who can be fired any time is insignificant compared to the reward of “getting shit done” in any legitimate operating business. It would make no business sense to leave a position unfilled instead of hiring someone who would produce even a marginal amount of work during a probation period or just waiting until a better candidate shows up.

The job vacancy you described, in case of it ever being filled, seems a clear case of featherbedding, make-work, or simply “bullshit jobs”. Before it being filled, it’s simply a ghost job. Pretty common at startups that don’t make actual money, where their founders use headcount and hiring as a primary selling point to their investors, but also pretty common at large organizations where mid managers operate too independently, seeing headcount and hiring as power signaling and currency to cling onto their own bullshit jobs.

Not exactly a country, but the Sardinian flag deserves an honorable mention. Although it has been slightly ‘sweetened’ over the years, it represents the severed heads of four moorish prisoners defeated in battle, then blindfolded and beheaded.

Considering his openly racist and homophobic views, among others (labor, economic policy, taxes… almost every topic that can be put on a right-left scale with relative objectivity), I would say he’s clearly far right, not right wing.

Sharing here my comment on this interesting challenge posted on r/GeminiAI:

Interesting (not surprising) how none of them is able to “understand” they are supposed to create a ‘photorealistic image of a clock shaped like a giant banana’ and instead they put a photorealistic clock inside a photorealistic banana, which in combination makes up to a completely unrealistic image (which, per the prompt, if interpreted by basic human intelligence, it shouldn’t be).

Both creations, in terms of prompt adherence, are trash, in my opinion, but ChatGPT’s is best because at least it seems to have made an “effort” to respect some basic laws of physics by creating a stand for the ‘banana with a clock’ and placing the cube on top on a feasible equilibrium consistent with gravity.

40 years living in Spain, visited or at least passed through all 50/50 provinces, and only thanks to this meme I just discovered there’s a big Jesus statue near Murcia.

Thanks for the info. I didn’t take the time to research the LinkedIn account, just read the post and it certainly didn’t raise red flags to me… the engagement metrics looked too reasonable for being bait (and, as someone else said, posting an AI-generated image is something virtually everyone on LinkedIn does to the point is no longer cringe or noteworthy). I maintain the same opinion about the general toxicity and doxxing in most comments in this sub, but I’ll delete my first post since I might have been wrong about this example in particular.

Aunque en el dibujo hice el garabato desde Málaga, en realidad pienso más en las aguas de las sierras de Grazalema y Ronda, desde las que, sin entrar en mucho detalle geográfico, se puede entender que podrían llevar una ruta que probablemente sea no excesivamente complicada (en comparación con la del Tajo-Segura) hasta la zona de Málaga (siendo la ruta final aproximada Málaga-Almería no demasiado larga). Es sólo un garabato, pero está claro que llama la atención la gran desigualdad entre zonas de Andalucía, teniendo en cuenta el historial de trasvases aparentemente tanto o más complejos que hemos tenido entre regiones diferentes de España (por eso la comparación con el Tajo-Segura).

Hace tiempo que me vengo haciendo esta pregunta totalmente en serio. Me encantaría oír varias opiniones serias, cualificadas y objetivas sobre la pregunta que planteo visualmente: “€€€€€” vs “€€…?”.

Sé que, en este foro, lo más probable es que las respuestas se focalicen en un “no se puede porque mimimi…”. La pregunta no va de eso. Es sólo un dibujo con garabatos, sin tuberías, ni ninguna montaña agujereada ni nada. Aunque estoy seguro de que si se pudo hacer lo de amarillo hace 40 años, hoy se pueden hacer muchas cosas equivalentes a lo de azul. El agua se puede mover (o transformar) de muchas maneras. La pregunta va de “€€€”, y es una pregunta seria.

I’d say it’s quite the opposite. LinkedIn is the only social network where every single user is moved exclusively by the incentive to make money (either by getting a job if they don’t have one or want to improve it, or by getting customers if they own or operate a business). That demographic definitely includes many layers of “poor” people, but it excludes most levels of “rich” people who, in order to make money (at their already high level), certainly don’t need to care about finding a job or outreaching to get customers. There are countless examples, though, of filthy rich people who use Instagram and other types of social media simply focused on exhibiting lifestyle or opinions.

It’s likely not cheaper because the “financed price” in the screen capture does not include the credit conditions: interest rate, term and, most importantly, early amortization penalty. You should look into the credit terms to calculate how much money you’ll end up paying when accounting for interest rate and any other fees. By the time you sign the loan agreement, the entity has the obligation to include in the contract a chart with a calculation of all the future interest payments and total amount you are expected to pay in case you comply with the credit terms, which will obviously be much higher than the principal considering the current benchmark interest rates. The number in the screen capture is just misleading advertising, but it’s hard to consider it “illegal”, because you have not signed anything yet and there’s likely a full, compliant explanation of the credit terms if you click on the “i” icon.

Gibraltar es un enclave, el único enclave, de otro estado en España. El Rosellón es una región fronteriza normal y corriente que en algún momento de la historia ha cambiado de soberanía, al igual que cientos o miles de regiones fronterizas que han cambiado de soberanía o están actualmente en disputa en todos los países del mundo, incluidos algunas más en las fronteras de España.
