I’m from the UK and can confirm It’s not standard here, perhaps in other parts of Europe (but not France.)
Edited to clarify that the United Kingdom has not physically moved location, nor has the continent of Europe been redefined (at least not that I’m aware of)
It sounds like he needs mental help.
There’s no mention of a lawyer or any support, the guys just completely dropped himself in it. Perhaps a very low IQ or some sort of mental health problems that prison is really not going to help.
This is far from normal behaviour.
Rich family exploits their workers… suprise, suprise. I wonder just how many others they’ve exploited.
Nasty scummy people who should be in prison.
That’s a very good point about tax avoidance these companies do by “operating” from a certain country. I never thought of it like that.
Gosh that was a quick year! Thanks 😁
As much I like the EU, politicians are politicians …
Sorry, yes I was slightly unclear in my response. (I’ve moved the paragraph to make it clearer)
The House of Lords in the UK is a mix of hereditary and life time peers nominated by the govt.
The House of Lords has limited powers (I think can veto or suggest amendments to a bill only once before the house of commons can force it through) and it is a archaic institution that we have kept, I guess it adds an extra check or balance to the elected representatives.
Agreed, imho calibration is the biggest issue. Also print times - generally I wouldn’t leave a print job running (e.g. in hotel room whilst I’m out sightseeing) without being near or at least monitoring it. And finally the smell of some filaments can bother some people.
On the otherhand it looks really neat, the size is great and I think it’d be a good solution to your requirements. Just don’t be surprised if you end up making a permanent space for it in order to avoid too much recalibration everytime you set it up 😂
And addressing your other concern, I think part of the original reprap ideal was that a 3D printer could print parts to build another printer, and parts to modify and improve itself. I’ve got a i3 clone and parts are usually generic and off the shelf - you might be able to check what parts it uses?
Thanks for the explanation.
Well gosh, I’ve had to go and read up on it too 😀
Looks like we both have the same 3 branches, but I was wrong in thinking the house of commons and lords were 2 of those branches.
In a perhaps slightly simplistic overview:
Legislative - debates and decides the laws.
Executive - executes or implements these laws in policy decisions (assigning funds to public bodies etc, setting mission statements)
Judicial - interprets the implementation of laws when needed (e.g. edge cases)
Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. In the UK, the executive comprises the Crown and the Government, including the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers. The legislature; Parliament, comprises the Crown, the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
Also seems like the UK independence of legislature and executive branch is up to debate -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers_in_the_United_Kingdom
I’m British, but it’s hard not to be aware of American stuff due to Reddit / Lemmy, movies, books, games, etc.
Are the 3 branches of govt.:
House of representatives, Senate, and judiciary?
We have house of commons, house of lords, and judiciary. First is elected, second is a mix of hereditary and nominated by govt I believe. Third is appointed by govt I guess.
Edit: looks like I got the branches wrong, see next reply.
Meh, it can be easy to feel like that. But take a moment to look at all the songs, movies, poems, and books about people who felt this way since the begining of time and know you’re not alone :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovoBi3pXD_A
I think the expression is “Caveat emptor”, though it translates to “let the buyer beware”.
What a great image. Thanks, I’ve a new phone wallpaper now.
Yes, I have the same setup. Router in house DNS points to the pi-hole, job done.
I’m not an apple user, but looks like there’s already an alternative app store available. https://www.theverge.com/24100979/altstore-europe-app-marketplace-price-games
I’m not condoning this, but one argument I’ve heard is that it’s easier to pick a different corporation (i.e. don’t buy from them) than it is to change your government (every 4 years ish) and it’s only the political party, not the civil service / employees (or whatever it’s called in the USA) that change.
Of course monopolies, huge barriers to entry for new companies, etc, weaken this argument.
As a final note; I think the combination of unions, govt., and private enterprise is the best we can hope for under the existing system.
So Wong it’s right?
Maybe it’s nothing more than the absurdity of Dorothy and the gang bumping into a road race
Although, I think safety matches are ones that will only strike on the rough side of the box, rather than a wall or chin stubble.
But I rather like the idea that they have matches that don’t burn all the way down. https://www.britannica.com/science/safety-match
The previous post mentioned Europe and specifically France. I was just clarifying that it’s the same for the UK. 😁
