Then keep pushing it further into the Atlantic.

No, not that far. Please stop in middle of the Atlantic. Or do you hope both sink?

Refinishing this little table/desk for my young kid. What will yield a fine-not-perfect result? ( lemmy.world )

It has seen some water damage and the varnish is flaking off (especially on the top). But I don't necessarily have the time/energy for a full strip/sand/refinish, especially as this may get dinged up; I'm just looking for a reasonably pleasing look....

Successful_Try543 ,

As it's for a kid, I'd suggest using some water-based and toy-safe paint.

Proton Calendar to...Android calendar? Via caldav, perhaps?

Hi guys! So, I have Proton Mail, and this also gives me the Calendar. I love that I have a encrypted private calendar, but it bothers me that it doesn’t play well with any other app, as it’s not officially a “calendar” to Android. This bothers me, because I use GrapheneOS, with mostly no Google services, and I'd like my...

Successful_Try543 ,

If proton supports CalDAV (I'm not sure), it should work e.g. with DAVx5 which integrates well with Android calendar.

Successful_Try543 ,

That's odd. I hate closed eco systems.

AfaIk in this direction, into Ukraine, it's no problem.

Union busting undermines the democratic co-determination in the company. However, for an American it is probably shocking that this does exist at all (at least in civilized countries). 😉

Some organic fruits or vegetables, e.g. cucumbers, have laser branding to distinguish them from their non-organic counterparts.

The glue is not unproblematic and a customer could just swap the stickers.

Also in the Sauerland in the northwest of Germany where there should be oak or beech, it is often sprouce (or since a few years dead sprouce).

Similarly, this holds for the BeNeLux countries. NED: GMT +0:19:32 / +0:20 since 1937, BEL and LUX used GMT since 1918

Ukraine existed, but was part of USSR. Strangely enough that there were no official time zones for all parts of the USSR.

Now the Spaniards are lobbying against constantly keeping the DST...

Successful_Try543 ,

Otherwise the people on the Azores would go nuts.

Successful_Try543 ,

Then we'd be back in pre-railway era.

Successful_Try543 ,

Yes, the difference to the mother country would be even larger.

Successful_Try543 ,

In principle, they have DST already.

Successful_Try543 ,

Different time zones are said to make business more complicated. I think that's why the CET/CEST time zone is stretched out that much.

Yes, distance of 1" on equator (463.8 m) × cosine of latitude longitude. This means approximately 350 m in Rome, 285,6 m in Berlin and 232 m in Helsinki. In reality a bit less, as I didn't take the ellipsoid shape of the globe into account.

Successful_Try543 , (edited )

No, I don't believe. From reliable source it is well known, that Dutch people are speaking perfect German as long as no foreigner is around.

(I think there has also been an article from "DE SPELD", which I somehow can't find anymore.)

It should, however, be possible to install old versions using flatpak.

Successful_Try543 ,

That's odd.

Successful_Try543 ,

That makes sense, as most users automatically use the most recent version and don't need to downgrade to prior ones.

Successful_Try543 , (edited )

Surely not the most elegant solution, but you can download old Gnome live ISOs of e.g. Debian and run in a VM.

Successful_Try543 ,

Maybe you were hoping that there is an easy and elegant solution like Appimage, Flatpak or Snap.

Successful_Try543 ,

More elegant than running an entire Linux system in a vm.

Sorry guys, Pfizer is "Extremely Woke" too.

In Germany 2015 1700 tons of antibiotics were used, thereof only 300 t for human use.

Achter means in a local sense 'at the back' or 'behind' and meer means either 'more' or means 'sea' (e.g. IJsselmeer).

So it referrs to either "more land behind" the city of Alkmaar or or a sea behind the city.

Successful_Try543 ,

TY. Funny how German and Dutch switch meaning here:

  • meer – der See
  • zee – das Meer, die See.
Successful_Try543 ,

It matches the one depicted on the Wikipedia map quite well.

From the Wikipedia article:

Midgley's legacy is the negative environmental impact of leaded gasoline and freon. Environmental historian J. R. McNeill opined that Midgley "had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history", and Bill Bryson remarked that Midgley possessed "an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny". Fred Pearce, writing for New Scientist, described Midgley as a "one-man environmental disaster"

Time magazine included both leaded gasoline and CFCs on its list of "The 50 Worst Inventions".

Nice. Saarland, our smallest area federal state, translates to Saarland in English and Sarre in French.

For the intended purpose this was just fine:

The Krummlauf was designed out of necessity. Ferdinand Porsche had produced 90 chassis for the Panzerkampfwagen VI "Tiger", which was not built in his factory but by Henschel. In order to be able to use the chassis after all, they were used for a new tank destroyer and were given the name "Ferdinand", later "Elefant" with improvements such as an MG-34 in the front. As the "Ferdinand" had no machine guns for close range, Soviet infantrymen on the Eastern Front were able to approach and fight the tank destroyers relatively safely. Thus, the curved barrel was developed for the Sturmgewehr 44 so that the tank crews could fire through the hatches of the tank and thus better fend off approaching infantry; there were also versions for inserting into the gun barrel.

Due to the bend in the barrel, the fired projectiles were subjected to strong friction and heated up so much that they finally burst as they exited. This meant that the charge effectively corresponded to a shot load, which was no disadvantage in close firefights. The wear on these barrels was high. In order to be able to aim around the corner, a groove was required in the crook barrel (from the height of the actual muzzle of a normal 44 assault rifle), in which a mirror device (prism attachment) was attached.

Why does it seem like this function always returns Arch?

Red Star OS ftw.

I know, but NK politically isn't that far away from PRC.

I recall a statement from an article I've read several years ago on the presentation of Will Scott, a professor who has been in NK, at 31C3 2014.

Als sich Scott Root-Zugang verschaffte, fand er ein für Normalnutzer unzugängliches Programm, das die komfortable Einrichtung verschlüsselter Datenträger erlaubte. "Das ist interessant, wenn ihr einen AES-verschlüsselten Datenträger braucht, an dem die NSA garantiert nichts manipuliert hat", scherzte Scott.

When Scott gained root access, he found a program inaccessible to normal users that allowed the convenient setup of encrypted data carriers. "That's interesting if you need an AES-encrypted data carrier that the NSA is guaranteed not to have tampered with," joked Scott.

It's fun to see how the shapes and areas change while moved around and being reprojected.

Successful_Try543 , (edited )

On thetruesize.com they seem to use some equal-angle projection and the countries are reprojected while being moved. There, e.g. russia doesn't seem to be that narrow when placed on top of Africa.

Successful_Try543 ,

It's basically to make it clear and avoid confusion which can arise, e.g. by including only the European part of russia, as the Europe-Asia border is not uniquely defined.

Successful_Try543 ,

Thx. I've corrected it.
