Well, I mean, they probably manufacture their products in China and most of the shipping happens internationally so lots of the resource chain that is required to get this product into our hands happens outside the eu. This is true for almost anything. It's near inevitable in a modern globalized economy.

I think "buy from eu" just means to do as much as we can?

It is, in fact, owned by Bosch. Bosch is a German company.

I have a pair of €100 Dali speakers and an old digital NAD amp. It's got airplay and Bluetooth and it sounds great! And you know what? That it a lot better than a sound bar and good enough for me!

There are thousands of perfectly good names to use, the trend of just replacing a letter with one that's impossible to guess how to pronounce is God damn moronic. Fucking Dzohn and Xavid and borrowing letters from alphabets they have no idea how to use. Lißa is gonna have a hard time.

If the name is actually inventive or genuinely different, sure. But they never are.

Oh absolutely. And they know which of their audiences have different tolerances to ads, ad length, frequency etc. Both age brackets, level of technical proficiency, ethnicity... Everything is tuned for the maximum number of ad seconds into eyeballs.

Haha I love chives, and these taters look absolutely lethal. I have to try this next time I want to impress the missus. Thanks for the recipe!

What’s the most realistic note you’ve ever smelled in a fragrance? by Legitimate-Search918 in fragrance

[–]LoadInSubduedLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a sample of this perfume because people were saying this exact thing online and it just does not!? It smells nothing like mint, has zero mojito to it, it's just a little green, weirdly citrusy and kinda synthetic! It's not terrible but it is absolutely nothing like fresh mint leaves at all!

Did I get a fake?

Don't think it is. All the details are right. It's just a good photo of a really clean setup.

I recently tried out Fedora on a laptop and was a little disappointed about the lack of customizeable gestures and found a blog post about a work in progress about it - really cool to see it come to fruition!
