  • That hiding candy (or other things people wanted) was a universal property of grandmothers.

    English is not my first language, but I had heard the expression “search all nooks and crannies”, but thought the last word was grannies - cranny is an unusual word.

    Now,my own grandmother was in the habit of hiding candy for us to find. I thought the expression existed because all grannies hid things. Search all nooks and grannies!



  • Technically yes, but in practice the goal is to make the practical arrangements implementing of Article 5 security quarantees possible. There is not much use of NATO support, if alliance forces can’t operate in Finland in a practical way.

    I am sure there are new operational agreements of similar nature will be made between Finland and Sweden as well as Finland and Estonia. That said, there is already a significant degree of defence cooperation between Finland and Sweden.

    Finland is also already part of the british led JEF, and I would be surprised if the Nato framework would not change the nature of that cooperation.

    Because I have no life, I looked it up.

    Bread in Finland is about 0.1 usd per slice Low quality cheese is about 8 usd / kg, assuming you need about 20g/portion that’s 0.16 usd. Total is about 36c per portion.

    If we assume power consumption of 5kw for the whole operation and power cost of 20c/kWh, that’s 1usd/h

    Assuming sales of 60 units per hour -one per minute, thats 60 usd of revenue per hour and 22.6 usd of non labor cost, it leaves 37.4e for labor, taxes, permits, tools, fuel.

    It’s at least only feasible in high volume locations.

    I use gimp daily, but it is still far, far behind photoshop from when I was studying and that was pre 2010.

    The biggest problem is the UI. The only major improvement was the transition from multi window to single window with tabs, around 2012 or so.

    It feels like using a hammer with a purple dildo for a handle. I can do it after 10 years of getting the hang of swinging around the wobbly thing. Meanwile the rest of the world transitioned to battery driven nailguns and I’m still swinging my dilmer with a slightly more rigid handle.
