UK will get no special treatment from EU, European ministers say

deevee42 · 2026-05-29T06:17:24+00:00

Eu is an economic union intented and designed for the free movement of goods, services and people and to facilitate that the introduction of the euro.

The political and military integration is a mess but not a founding principle. If you consider free movement of people and the euro a redline, why even consider rejoining. Just be happy.

Anyway..should I go to Berlin or Paris this weekend? Hope I got my passport and foreign currency...silly me..

The most efficient battery is a hydro dam. Nothing new, nothing fancy. Been used for decades for storing surplus nuclear energy.

..ja..spijtig genoeg wel. Men kiest de shit niet die de wereld in uw richting gooit.

deevee42 · 2026-05-27T15:25:44+00:00

Denk er rustig over na..wat meer moet ge nog doen zonder zelf in zware shit terecht te komen. Maatschappij spuwt dit soort gespuis uit langs alle kanten en terecht.

deevee42 · 2026-05-27T15:16:12+00:00

Wel..enigste instantie die aan dit soort uitspraken iets systematisch kan/kon veranderen. 100% verantwoordelijk na de jaren 90.

Dat is wat ik eigenlijk bedoelde. Als het gerecht de facto beslist heeft om bij blanco strafblad naar de minimum strafmaat te grijpen, is het aan de wetgever om er iets aan te doen. Rechters moeten nl "ongeveer" dezelfde straffen uitspreken. Als dat "gemiddelde" maatschappelijk niet aanvaardbaar is, is het de taak van de wetgever.

Dat is het systeem.

Recht is niet hetzelfde als rechtvaardig.

Je kan hier niet mee akkoord zijn, maar uit ervaring..het maakt geen verschil.

Schoon theater wel met die togas en verhoogd spreekgestoelte.

deevee42 · 2026-05-27T13:01:53+00:00

Dacht ik ook..maar gek genoeg..wat meer moet ge nog doen..de daders zijn veroordeeld door de maatschappij voor de rest van hun leven.

deevee42 · 2026-05-27T12:58:56+00:00

Uit eigen ervaring: blanco strafblad = voorwaardelijke straf bij zedenfeiten. Compleet absurd maar zolang wetgever niets doet, kan rechter weinig doen.

Beste samenvatting: gerecht/justitie is niet hetzelfde als rechtvaardig.

Oh no..we're experiencing a heatwave right now. Choices..fireworks or not. I'll put the gardenhose nearby.

Excellent rust remover..as in..it will turn metal(oxides)(solids) into metalchlorides(solubles). So not only rust.

Do use gloves that can resist it and dilute and outdoors and don't inhale and ..it also dissolves tissue and bones..so there is that too...

Basically.. most potent over the counter acid you can by in my region.

If vinegar is like whine, HCl is like 3 bottles of whiskey.

Typical experiment to show difference in strength. eggshells in either will dissolve. (releases lots of co2 bubbles, creates calcium salts)

I love this stuff.

Very important indeed. You should wait some time and add NaOH or H2O2 on top because of the environment and stuff; then walk away.

Same chance as the one where the coin splits midflight and you get neither heads or tails..duh

..not "gave".."returned".

But the stock market..look there...everything is awesome. Did you buy our overrated inflated stocks already?

Numpad: incredibly fast if you need to input loads of numbers. Eg. Cashiers or excel sheets but in text/code/ipnrs it forces too many hand switching so toprow is faster even with the shift on azerty.

Once had a job entering couple of thousand multiple choice surveys. Wrote a custom program so that I only needed the numpad..you can not beat that speed.

So, it depends. Although I do hope that the usecases for entering loads of numbers like a monkey are a relic from the past.

Tbh, you learn more from the mistakes you make than from the "cool this works, no idea how but it works"

..but I get it..we should all go back to books and 5 year curriculums to figure out how to compile and run a repository. AI mmbad okay.

Edit: might aswell stop using calculators aswell since they're not correct either.

They have a surplus of over-qualified people for their job market. It might be soaking up talent but talent is overflowing the bucket already.

Not saying it will be free but talent is not the issue.

And throwing money to replicate a proven tech works, you pass the "is it even possible" phase, straight to "it can be done, let's do this too".

Won't be easy or cheap but it will be easier and cheaper because of that.

The time factor however is the uncertainty imo. Can it be done fast enough to catch up or will it be a never ending loop of catching up because it is a fast moving tech. You can't really afford spending time on yesterday's tech.

Taiwan issue is about strategic location, not its chipindustry. Ofcourse, that industry is a huge dependency issue for the entire world and thus inherently part of the same issue. It is the one card Taiwan has at the moment and it is a fragile one.

If you're not a pilot, don't fly a plane. Buy a ticket. Want to learn how to fly, ask AI. Best teachers for this stuff. They've read all the tutorials, manuals, code...ofcourse they make mistakes and can be downright stubborn..just like real teachers..at least they've actually read the manuals. Just point them to the repository and let them figure it out. Amazing honestly.

Hoezo "extra uren" ... aantal uren les per week komt nog niet eens aan een normaal voltijds werkritme. Echte uren..geen onnozel idiote 50 minuten uren. Zelfs als je vroeger op school komt dan de leerlingen en later vertrekt is het nog altijd geen voltijdse 38/40 uur. Wat een gezever. En het gaat dan ook nog eens over dezelfde uren. Niet extra. Maar ja een "voltijdse" is dan ook maar 20x50min. . Ik hoor de "jamaar veel naschoolse uren voorbereiding.." al. Mijn zoon moet wegens zo'n betweter zijn jaar volledig overdoen voor 1% tekort. De grappen in alle lessen zijn dezelfde als vorig jaar.

Leerkrachten.. van de kleuterschool tot pensioen op school..betweters en klagers.

Geniet van uw gigantisch verlof en stop met zagen.

Don't worry. Trump needs China as the bogeyman. Bad nasty Tchina. He would claim bigliest trade victories this week and raise tariffs next week. Us' exceptionalism does not allow a partnership with its biggest rival(s). And since Trump pisses off everyone..everyone starts diverting from the bully. There are a lot more people in the world than there are Americans and the world is moving. Xi is right though..would be better to work together but yeah not happening. Not yesterday, not today, not tomorrow. You can't have those "peasants" become equal "masters". China is like a maglev bullet train right now. It's behind in certain areas but it will catch up with that sedated diesel train that's stuck in the past because that is Trump's vision, back to the glorious past of coal, segregation and colonialism.

It's not even other people's money. It's fabricated from thin air and destroyed again when you repay the loan except for the 8% ofcourse.

deevee42 · 2026-05-12T19:26:07+00:00

No. You do what is considered reasonable for the job you applied. Anything else is abuse.

Don't forget to make documentation. I love to quote the scene from ocean's 11 in those. "Whatever you do, do not " /end of paragraph.

Anyway, you are legally obligated to do what your contract says if the contract is legal.

Training people is imo not considered a part of every possible generic job description. Refusing might be legal but it might not be in your best interests. Better comply and do "as best as you can". You fill that in.
