  It’s not microplastics that worry me. It’s heated plastics, which is why I don’t use plastics in the microwave or use non stick cookware. BTW, the fancy air fryer seems to be all metal, like the toaster ovens.

  Also, why the downvotes to a reasonable question?

  I was once at a convenience store, run by a Chinese man, and this 30ish girl in a tank top, obviously a regular comes in and says @look I got my sons name tattooed. Then she says, “look, Aitor@“. The guysmiles nervously. She leaves, and I ask the guy, who es shaking his head, and he says that it was some random mataré sign.

  The big ass rocket engines in the back fueled by the massive fuel tank may disagree with you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people impressed with SpaceX?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate Musk and his personal everything, but Like SpaceX. However, when people gush about reusability, they seem to forget the 135 Space Shuttle missions (2 fatal failures , yes.). All done with 5 vehicles. Yes expensive etc, but truly amazing.

  Also, I really don’t find anything SpaceX is doing revolutionary. Impressive? Yes, but it’s essentially incremental engineering, made possible by ginormous funding, including NASA money, and a private company doing things that NASA can-t politically afford.

  Imagine NASA crashing 4 Shuttles before getting landing right. There’d be no NASA by now.

  “Apparently, George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was fond of pointing out the absurdities of English spelling by proving that “fish” could be spelled “ghoti”, That is, gh as in rough, o as in women and ti as in palatial”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK section of my local supermarket is taking the piss⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in Spain. I usually shop at Lidl, Aldi, or Mercadona, a large chain of medium size stores, generally well regarded, with a very good selection, and high quality house brands. Mercadona puts customer satisfaction first, and employee satisfaction second. This seems to be true as employee satisfaction is high, rotation low, and satisfaction levels of around 70%, which in this type of sector is very high. They also pay up to 150% of the median income for these types of jobs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK section of my local supermarket is taking the piss⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a Carrefour, right? I’ve quit shopping at Carrefour a while back. I find their selection getting steadily worse, their house brands quality very low, their price not competitive. Nowadays I shop at medium size chains, and most of non food online, trying to use Amazon as a last resort.

  Birds are dinosaurs. Humans are not mammoths

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨little hopper⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I remember correctly, Homo sapiens sapiens was not only coetaneous with Mammoths, but we are widely considered to be one, if not the main cause of their extintion.

  I can’t believe this is so far down. I do SMB tech support. I have clients where I have installed cable, wifi and power lane. In one case cable, wifi, and wifi,/cable powerline.

  Which is best? Depends on your use case. Is cable, 2m away from the router best? Well, if you use a laptop that moves from the desk several times a day, it becomes a pain.
