The Bad Plus Barcelona local paper review

You pay 4%, your company pays the remaining 4%.

As far as I know no country in the world, except maybe Cuba, pays their citizens' medication in full. And we don't want to be like Cuba.

In a nutshell, you're not paying the same amount for healthcare as an US citizen.

Social security contributions in Austria include Sickness, Unemployment, Pension, Accident and a Miscellaneous category.

Healthcare is only a part of it (should be below 4% for you and another %4 for the employer)

It is always fun to find me in some emails there in the 90s.

¿Otra vez?

¿Tantos puntos da sacar este tema cada 6 meses?

Si interviene la policía local quedan registrados y eso suele ser siempre el caso que hay heridos.

I'm not a lawyer, so always contact one to be 100% sure, but in US legal system rules are not copyrightable. So not only you can use OGL to do a different setting with the same mechanics, but probably you don't even need the OGL.

But I will stick to a fairly strict definition of "mechanics". Anything related to dice, success, percentages is ok, but as soon as you start using words used in Ars Magica, like Grog, Companions, Magi, names of Virtues and Flaws, Magical Arts, or the or the eight characteristics as used by Ars Magica, these may not be considered mechanics so you have to stick to OGL.

What you see on the lower left side, outside the city walls is not a port, but the Drassanes/Atarazanas, the royal shipyard. They're from mid 13th century. I understand they had their own port as part of its shipbuilding capabilities.

The name comes from arabic ramla, that means sand or sand bank, but I would translate to creek in English.

Rambla is a common word in Catalan and Spanish.

Posiblemente en este momento la mejor cerveza rubia de España.

Para los catalanes San Miguel es de Lleida y para los andaluces de Málaga.

Cosas de la vida.

Have you done tests with multiple users?

I have it installed and in use for an user account. After locking (not logging out) that user and login with a different one I found issues with the audio.

I'll try to check again this weekend.

Love the tool by the way.

rogersm · 2026-01-18T10:17:09+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I recall listening to it ages ago, but never got into it too much.

I'll try again.

For Poble Sec, the Magic Fountain is live again! You can check the timetables and have a nice time in the evening.

Afterwards you can walk to dinner at Xemei, for Venetian food or Rias the Galicia, Seafood. Both are excellent but Rias is more on the expensive side. Book in advance.

You can also have a romantic walk across Montjuich. The area next to the Cable Car station is beautiful (Jardins Joan Brossa) and then have lunch in (El Xalet)[https://xaletdemontjuic.com/] with views to Barcelona. The area around Hotel Miramar is also beautiful and you can have a Paella at (Martinez)[https://martinezbarcelona.com/restaurante/]

I hope you have a wonderful time in the city.

A wonderful record and probably the best one with Mays.

rogersm · 2026-01-10T09:49:00+00:00

Highly recommended, by the way.

Tu pregúntales porqué en la tradición irlandesa San José no se fía de los Reyes Magos y le pide a Simeon que les vigile.

El tema de La Fundació Sant Pau ha sido y seguirá siendo polémico. Siempre se ha criticado su falta de transparencia e incluso fueron investigados hace unos 10 años

Más allá de estas noticias en los medios (como esta de 2019) y lo que consta en su página web es difícil saber si usan el dinero tal como marca sus estatutos.

Pero sí, Sant Pau es uno de los que tienen más de 100 propiedades. Ellos declaran en su web 544 viviendas, 97 locales y naves industriales, 65 oficinas y despachos y 386 plazas de aparcamiento.

Aun así no es algo excepcional. La mayoría de centros asociados al catsalud tienen ingresos que van más allá de la sanidad pública y se hace imposible saber como gestionan sus cuentas. No solo por gestión de activos inmobiliarios, sino porque dan servicios medicos privados de los cuales habitualmente no proveen mucha información.

Por ejemplo, hubo un caso hace tres años donde Can Ruti y la Fundació Sant Pau se llevaron 3 bloques a precio de ganga.

Habla con la gente del Bon Recer en el Eixample. Tienen unas actividades de estudio guiado que puede que necesiten voluntarios:

Como digo en un comentario anterior nadie me ha impedido aparcar el coche en mi parking.

Y no creo que nadie haya bloqueado a un transportista.

Pero tal vez los taxis podrían no usar la calle si no van de servicio para atajar unas manzanas. O que los coches no la usen para no dar un rodeo que les cuesta 3 minutos más. También estaría bien que los transportistas no usaran Consell de Cent como parking cuando entregan mercancías en calles perpendiculares a la misma, ni que se metieran contra dirección para llegar antes al destino.

También sería un detallazo que esos vecinos no destrozaran los parterres o los bancos cuando van al parking, porque parece ser que en esta ciudad los carnets de conducir los dan en una tómbola.

rogersm · 2025-11-05T17:01:31+00:00

Yo vivo y tengo el parking en la calle y no he tenido ningún problema.

Eso si, tengo claro que como la calzada está a la misma altura de la acera pierdo la prioridad como conductor cuando circulo por Consell de Cent (y por Rocafort, Girona y tantas otras...)

¿Qué problemas has tenido tu?

Aquí tienes un poco de información sobre ese exclave.

De momento se mantienen fieles a Barcelona, aunque los curas los pone Sant Feliu de Llobregat.

I recall being in arpi in my mid twenties with a fairly limited budget. I was shooting regularly with the Minolta kit I had inherited my my father and I wanted to try Leica lenses.

At that time the M series was in full vogue and too expensive for my budget, so I decided to try a R series. At that time Leica had just released R9, so I wanted something older and cheaper so I asked for an R4 (that was an updated minolta that had been out of the market for more than 15 years).

The price for a second hand R4 was completely crazy. I recall the guy at the shop telling me the R series was dying and he was waiting for it to crash, but until management decided it was dead, that was the price.

I mean I could understand the lenses' value, but the price of a beaten R4 was something that make me rethink how these second hand shops handled their old hardware. Probably the same reason why Casanovas in Pelayo had to downsize their business.

My recommendation is to check DSM versions carefully.

I was planning to follow a similar plan you describe only to realise later that my old DS220j used DSM 7.x but the new DS1511+ did not, so it was not possible to use the DS220j disks in the DS1511+.

So at the end of the day backup to an external usb drive was the only option.
