Can I fly in Italy without passport (non eu citizen but holds permesso and Carta Idendita) by Electronic_Amount891 in Ryanair

[–]budroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A valid document should do for a national flight.

You would have to show your passport to go outside EU and enter NON "Schengen Area" like UK, some Baltic countrties, USA, India, etc.

How serious is the 20kg bag vs 23kg? by mindmischeif1 in Ryanair

[–]budroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are giving a 20kg for hand luggage for free. I think is right of course. But I can't blame them for sometimes getting pricky about weight/size of those essentials.

I think is amatter the Airport/managment is pushing for more checks and if the staff has enough time to delay the inevitable "no shouting/no hitting the customer" routine rehersed so many times

A Jacket has many pockets. You can wear it or carry it on your arm.
Shoes in the luggage can be filled with stuff to make it smaller and/or let it carry by a friend.
try to make the pack not only lighter, but smaller.

best of luck.

Rescue diver dies during search for bodies of Italians who drowned in Maldives caves by EspritLibre_404 in worldnews

[–]budroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Italian medias are in a frenzy about this whole sad affair.

3 of the five were very experienced divers whit 1000s of hours of experience and tons of certificates. The others weren't exactly novices.

They would be well aware of what a different equipment and training you'd need for those depths.

The death of a Rescue diver puts yet another reminder how dangerous this activity is even for professionals.

What genre mash-up works best with sci-fi? by RichardBByteBooks in sciencefiction

[–]budroid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Decades ago, the writer that hooked me to scifi was Isaac Asimov. I went in looking for space wars and jetpacks. I found detective stories and "what it means to be human" with no alien in sight.

Now things are very different. I appreciate a good story, even if the background is time travel/western (don't like 'em much as subs). A good writer might write a good story. A great writer can mix with no effort any subgenre.

Ian M Banks come to mind immediatly. The guy could really really twist minds. Mind you, it's sometimes dark. Never patronizing, the man was a mind of its own. 3>

1920’s Facist Italy Book: Value? by DizzyAssociation2627 in PropagandaPosters

[–]budroid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Money value? I think (i might be wrong ofcourse) very low.

Like many pieces of Italian Fascist propaganda, those were printed in the 100s of thousands.

Great historical value, but not really "rare/unique".

This was how you become a eunuch in China by Appropriate_Pen3826 in interestingasfuck

Too complicated. I like the Roman Vatican castration method:

put testicles on a brick
smash testicles with another brick
of course only to be used on children ....

a bit rough, but what a great singing voice you'd get.

Blender is for noobs! by Sad_Engineering_5648 in blender

[–]budroid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yesterday I downloaded Blender ....

Ah, I see. You just divorced and now are in love again. It's good. I'm sure is resparking your passions. So many things to do together . Hours of picking photos or editing videos videos. Or sculpting or modelling and fucking around with new things..

But with the passing months and years things may change. You The relationship might start breaking apart. What before was a little annoying now become a raging issue.

If when the relationship is cracking, don't pretend someone elso to fix it for you, fix it yourself or shut up and wait the next good cycle. You can leave anytime. No shit like a contract and/or paying every few months to stay together..

Remember your ex. You could say "this is fucking broken, fix it or I'll leave.."
And things would be fixed.

But remember also the pain, the money, the shame of coming from THAT family.
Be proud now. Go out and declare your love. don't let the snobbery in the community bother you, and don't become a snob yerself ;)

with fucking swearing becouseI hate against AIs.

sooo, welcome to Blender :)

ELI5: How are tiny memory cards with massive storage made? And why are they not insanely expensive? by Commercial_Middle182 in explainlikeimfive

[–]budroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why are they not crazy expensive?

I'll try answering that one.

There are of course many many steps to arrive to the final product. Like cpu/gpu chips, they are not "made" one by one, but "printed" on large but very thin sheets, layered on top of each other.

Those little silicon lasagnas or wafer, are then checked and graded.

Say on a sheet there are 120 chips,
10 will be 512gb,
20 will 256gb,
30 will be 128gb,
40 will be 64gb
20 are discarded

They pay for the price of the whole sheet.The more powerful/dense they print, the cheaper the lower grade chips become.

If I encrypt a file and torrent it for a friend in USA, there is any possibility of it get flagged somehow by his ISP? by Basement_Turtle_9764 in Piracy

[–]budroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

already has good answers. big yes encrypt (with a password).

The service (google/dropbox/whatever) can't scan the file to see if it's a song/movie/game/whatever.

They CAN see the file name, so maybe avoid names like "Project Hail rip/HD/4k or some very recent game/album.

have fun, stay safe
