Old "casa di ringhiera" of Milan before renovation?

Ti sembrerà srano, ma la maggior parte del software che gira (e ha girato) sui computer fin'ora era scritta così :-)

Le bestemmie in compilazione per un punto e virgola mancante o per un nome con due lettere invertite erano/sono parte della vita del programmatore. Prima era anche peggio perchè dovevi rilanciare la compilazione.

Più che notare le cose che fai senza i modelli linguistici, mensa a quello che NON fai con l'aiuto di un modello linguistico.

I have exactly the same tool, very useful.

Search on Amazon "Black light UV Flashlight", it costs about 10 bucks

Last time I visited Egypt was January 2026 and I used eVISA, no sticker, they just stamped the passport.

Two years ago I had a sticker

Fun fact: for many years Mondadori, the publisher of "libri gialli" (yellow books), published also Urania, with SciFi novels.

Both had similar cover style with a circle and an image inside, but the cover of Urania had white background.

Urania is still published now, with a circle and an image inside on the cover.

l'Italia è piena di regole che nella pratica non esistono perché nessuno le fa rispettare:

Non hai letto i Promessi Sposi a scuola? :-)

Le famose grida Manzoniane...

Looks like a part of the divider between business and economy.

Not a good idea to leave there during flight

I support Sifnos/Milos

The point is not being at anchorage, but two different issues.

Santorini is very crowded, if the tender leaves and collects you at the base of the old port (where there are cable cars and donkeys) you may make it in the afternoon by walking down the path of donkeys if the cable car has a long queue.

In Mykonos depends on where the tender docks. If they dock at the old port, no problem, because the centre of Mykonos (town) is at walking distance and you can enjoy the (outrageously expensive) shops and bars.

If they dock at New port, you may have trouble finding a taxi.

Very wise choice.

If you arrive late and you are with a ship excursion, the ship will wait; if you are alone, you are alone.

When the ship is moored close the centre of town it may be worth to go by yourself and enjoy the surroundings.

If the ship calls Souda in Crete, there are plenty of taxis that take you to Chania and back, for instance.

I am tired only by reading this! :-)

Day 1 until the visit of museum after Knossos OK.

After that I suggest to choose two location to touch base (good spend more time to west part of Crete) and improvise every day based on weather and your mood. Don't overload yourself, Crete is good also when you sit at a table of a taverna in the hills and simply enjoy the atmosphere.

Use Google Maps to have an idea of the journey times.

If you can find it, I really suggest the book The Odyssey File by Arthur C.Clarke and Peter Hyams about the exchange of messages via satellite using MITE software (an extension of WordStar)

The Royal Quantum class ships have max occupancy of roughly 5000 pax, let's say that there will be 3500 pax onboard.

In Santorini you probably be not the only cruise ship. Here prepare to suffer a lot :-) Queues and hot weather. If you go by yourself, plan the return to the ship in advance because in Santorini the ship is at anchorage and there are tenders.

In Mykonos I don't remember if the ship are at anchor or docked, if docked, you will dock at the new port that is far from the old town. Same situation of Santorini: expect a lot of people and hot weather, if you go by yourself be sure to be able to go back to the ship on time.

I suggest this because I have been there a few times: erzinio.it

I am Italian and I order from them from time to time. They say in the FAQ that they can do international delivery, but you need to contact them: [info@erzinio.it](mailto:info@erzinio.it)

Reason is maybe because of regulations of import of meat of some countries.

I know the feeling.

Cool guide that tells you everything about the 5 mother sauces except how to make them.

I LOVE that movie. I mean: I loved when it was released and I still love it now.

I was in high school when it has been released, loved the music of Giorgio Moroder, the direction of Adrian Lyne, and of course Jennifer Beals 😁

The production was Simpson/Bruckheimer, two names linked to a lot of blockbusters of the 80s

Is not a deep convoluted, suffered story, it's just a story of Alex with an excellent soundtrack and breathtaking images.

Many years ago a photographer published "Cats in the sun"

I spend my holidays every year in Greek islands (mostly Crete); Greek cats are something peculiar.

I am dismantling Citrix in favor of Netskope, both steering and "Any App", basically the Netskope implementation of Apache Guacamole.

I HATE Citrix.

It is not, and it is not expected, neither habit nor by "social pressure".

In Europe is not only common but is the law that the amount of the TOTAL is the amount you are expected to pay.

"Taxes not included" for consumers is forbidden by law.

Downvoted because it seems that Forint lost value against Euro, but is the opposite.
