Not strictly a scam, but there's a little money to be made creating viral content on Facebook. They receive a tiny portion of the ad revenue from Facebook when they generate engagement.

It's just Facebook sucking really.

A rule of thumb for weirdness in age difference is age/2+7, leaving you at 51/2+7=32,5. So going by that, 30 is a bit on the young side, which is obvious also from the fact that you felt the need to create this thread.

If one person would be in a position to judge you for it (or rightfully feel weird about it) it's your daughter. It's safe to say she seems cool with it, so whatever.

It’s been a ‘slow’ recovery process for the TV star

How dare they.

At this point it's pretty much a challenge to write software bad enough that a computer will struggle to run it.

(Not a particularly great challenge obviously - I'm quite good a it myself)

Users report that clicking the Start button can spike CPU usage by 30% to 70% on at least one core, depending on the hardware configuration.

Good grief. And that's coming from a GNOME user.

Yeah, this is fair. It could be that bikes are the upper limit to complexity. :)

Some friends of mine have experiences with very bad Italian bikes, but I think it's a matter of getting what you pay for. My own bad experiences has mostly been with French bikes...

How could i forget my Moka! I mostly drink filter coffee though, where I sadly go American with a Chemex. :(

That's an impressive list for one month!

A small suggestion for the settings page: The "Delete account" button should probably be a bit trickier to press by accident. Right now its colour changes by theme, and as it is at the bottom of the page it's easy to assume it's the "save changes" button if you don't read. I would assume it asks for a confirmation before deleting the profile, but nevertheless it seems a bit dangerous.

One suggestion would be to make sure it's always red with white text independent of theme. Another would be to change its position, for example by lifting it up into the settings or moving it to the right side of the content so that it doesn't align with everything else. :)

I go Italian with a lot of kitchen appliances. My Italian stainless steel frying pan is amazing. Pasta machine obviously. They also make some great shoes and leather products.

I would never trust them with anything of equal or greater complexity to a bicycle.

My vacuum cleaner is made in Germany. Super happy with it after one year. I also have a pretty sturdy German kitchen knife.

Pretty sure some of my power tools are also German, but that's bought more on the basis of what I could find in flea markets than where it was produced.

Funny that the EU is scores higher than 26 of its member states.

The American companies obsessed with cutting costs generally don't manufacture in the US any more. Potential exception for the automobile industry, but these cars aren't really exported much to the rest of the world any more.

Also worth noting that this is based on data from 2017. I would be happy to buy a pair of jeans made in America back then. Now, not so much.
