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.
Layers - get a good base layer, merino wool is the gold standard for these. You also want to get a neck gaiter, plus some merino wool socks, and some kind of cap. These will keep you warm and dry throughout most cold weather. Add more layers on top when outside, and remember to remove layers proactively if you feel yourself starting to sweat - it’s never a good idea to be wet in cold weather. The base layer will make physical exertion a pretty hot affair quite fast, so you’d be surprised how fast the sweat starts pouring.

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.
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.
It makes for a more acidic brew, which I personally really like. It’s quite fruity as well, while still definitely being coffee.
Based on your recommendations, it might not be your cup of tea (or in this case, coffee!), but it might be worth a try if you want to expand your horizons. I am personally not into dark roasts, being mostly a medium to light-roast person.
I’m a sucker for variety and will drink whatever are the beans of the month from my local roaster (Kafferosteriet Koppar), but my all-time favourite has to be the Bridazul roasted by Kafferäven. Fermented beans are a truly special experience in my book.
I’m similar in that I like black coffee. There’s a nice rabbit hole for people like us in speciality coffees too, so we don’t need to feel too left out!
I don’t doubt him being a Nazi.
I think his Nazism is basically orthogonal to this - everyone and their grandmother who relies on the American empire for anything is kissing the ring at the moment, Nazi or not.
Are we supposed to be surprised that someone in Ukraine - a country at war, highly dependent on support from the U.S to continue to stand up to its invader - now appeals to the new hand that can either feed them or cut them off?
Assuming non-wasteful delivery methods, I’d still call that a win as vaping is generally less harmful to the health of the user.
Quitting is of course preferable, but I support harm reduction policies in general
