  • She can't move in ANY direction. For all her power and all the fearsome stories about her, she is limited to only 2 dimensions... She hasn't even the concept of an UP. That is her greatest weakness.

  • Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month

    Jump

  • Agreed that they have a pretty big military in terms of raw numbers. I'm not going to discuss quality because the biggest question mark here is force projection.

    How are they planning on sending over any significant manpower and supplies across 2800km?

    They don't even have a navy capable of circumnavigating the korean peninsula, much less make the trip to Ukraine or the wrong side of Russia.

    They have 2 transport aircraft, the bigger of the 2 has a max passenger capacity of 44 pax. Neither of those have the range to get near Ukraine when flying fully fueled, nevermind if it were fully loaded.

  • All ice machines require monthly if not biweekly cleaning otherwise funky stuff starts growing in the water lines and the ice trays, and other hard to reach areas.

    As a former commercial HVAC guy, consider yourself lucky if a place cleans it out once a year.

  • For Many Greeks, Six-Day 48-Hour Work Week Now Set to Begin July 1st

    Jump

  • They couldn't even track or enforce their previous 5 day work week when errant employers made their workers work beyond 5 days or mandated maximum hours, there is no chance in hell they will catch unpaid overtime.

  • Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?

  • I was in Venice pre-covid. I spent a day walking around and soaking in the sights and sounds. Sat by myself for an hour listening to some guy play the chello. It was beautiful. Never got harassed by street peddlers or scammers unlike in Milan. The architecture was beautiful like nothing else. Its a city trapped in the Renaissance era.

  • Spend a bit more on UL approved brands, those tend to be more resilient to dust.

    Photoelectric type is better for home use as your typical fires are smouldering, which photoelectrics are better at catching.

  • Electricity prices in France turn negative as renewable energy floods the grid

    Jump

  • Thats because the majority of the cost is not in the direct cost of generation but in maintaining the grid. That's a fixed expense that does not fluctuate and there is no way generation costs will offset maintenance costs.

  • Malaysian leader Anwar says China a 'true friend' and not to be feared as Premier Li ends visit

  • I wonder how much was promised vs how much is actually going to be delivered and how long before Malaysia learns they've been shafted yet again.

  • You know it when you go to work and it doesn't feel like work. It doesn't feel like an absolute drag to get out of bed.

    I'm an HVAC engineer. I love my job, to me it's like spending all day solving logic puzzles or a detective mystery. I found I was pretty good at it about 6 months into the job, when I figured out a problem the senior techs couldn't. I enjoy being out and about instead of chained to a desk.

    A job/career doesn't have to be a passion. Just something you don't dread everyday. My passion is in sports but somehow engineering was something I was good at, it felt satisfying fixing things. I'd never make my passion my job cause I know it would completely ruin it for me.

  • All it really amounts to is a small headstart. It seems like a big gap initially because you're comparing 0 years of experience vs 2 years of experience.

    But across a 30 year career its a mere 7% difference. Frankly after 5 to 10 years of experience it becomes a lot less about how long you've worked, it instead becomes more about how you've spent those years and how that translates into benefitting the company. When a company is hiring for mid level and above, it doesn't really matter to them that someone has 8 years vs 10 years. An extreme example would be someone with 5 years at Google vs someone who spent 10 years jumping between small start ups.
