As a counterpoint, I’ve bought loads of really good cycling accessories from AliExpress. It’s not impossible to buy high-quality things from China - this is after all where a large part of everything is manufactured these days - you just have to be careful not to fall for the offers that are just obviously too good to be true.

Uncapped overtime excuses bad management. I get why they’re pissed, this puts a spotlight on how bad they are at management.

Is it really valid to call permalink() in that context, since it requires &self? There’s no self in that context afaik. Can’t test it now but it looks suspicious

EDIT: Invalid since the comment was updated

Stopping your finger from bleeding by cutting off the entire arm is not a particularly good plan.

Sure, inflation is down, but the absolute condition for the average argentinian is not strictly speaking great.

It’s clear that some form of change to stop the runaway inflation was needed, but this was not the way to go

ITT: People who did not read the article and just shot from the hip

Oh fuck that rules

That policy obviously needs to die a horrible death.

Barring some technical breakthrough, I am inclined to agree.

We can and should build extensive high-speed rail networks, though. This will provide intra-continental mobility at a price affordable for everyone. While gratuitous trips to the other side of the world will no longer be feasible, fast intra-continental trips can in many cases take their place. Flying can remain a niche for when it’s completely unavoidable, in which case we should be able to absorb the emissions.

Actual emissions taxing is basically a necessary step when it comes to air travel - currently, the fuel is completely tax free and that’s not great. Take all of that money and pump it directly into rail, which is the actual way forward for intra-continental travel.

It will get more expensive and less accessible for lower income people. There’s just really no way around that.

Normally I will default to siding with workers, but I’m not siding with the pilots on this one. No way.

The old rules don’t apply under Trump unfortunately

It’s also when using a blocked word on lemmy.ml, but will only show as such for users of that instance.

The r-word is on that list, and I believe the b-word might be as well.

Note that this is monthly, not yearly as is usually reported for other countries. Argentinian inflation is not the same beast we’re dealing with in most of the rest of the world. The yearly number is closer to 200% as reported by the article.

The absolute state of the U.S. A thousand years of shame would not be enough

It’s actually not legal in Utah! The Mormon church yielded after a lot of pressure regarding the practice and Utah then made it illegal.

I think global warming as a term is not great, because it fails at communicating the end result of the overall average temperature increase, which is more chaotic weather on account of the increased energy present in the system. Sometimes this will mean temporary local reductions in temperature, and sometimes it will mean unusually cold years in places. Don’t give people the option to use ‘bUt iT’s cOlDeR tHiS yEAr sO hOw cAn gLoBaL wArMiNg bE rEaL’ as an easy argument.

Climate change is the more accurate term, but I do prefer terms that more accurately communicate the severity of the situation, such as the climate crisis, for example.

So we’ve been going on for a pretty long time about how Florida is basically largely going to get completely lmaoed by climate change, and trying to warn people moving there and so on.

But as time goes on, I’m thinking maybe it’s best if they suffer the consequences of their actions, and let the ocean have this one.

Refugees will of course not be accepted in accordance with the new regime policy either, and FEMA has been fully dissolved.

A surprising amount when it comes to Sweden, actually! I believe there’s a significant educational gap here, with CPR courses trying to spread the word about resources on how to locate your nearest AED.

This applies to urban environments of course, with suburban and rural being a different story.

To answer the question I think you’re posing - yes, this device could be useful in Sweden.

My housing coop fortunately already has one of these on site, as well as my workplace.

I browsed it all and I’m intrigued!

However, I live in Sweden so it’s somewhat less relevant for me. I’m happy that it exists though, and I’ll be interested to follow the progress in the future!
