Americans idolise Europe and wouldn't stop bitching about how great it is here and how easy we have it. But then they'll go 'No kings!, no government ID!, no mass surveillance!, no face scanning and fingerprinting everyone without them committing a crime!...', like, do you lot want Europe style 'democracy' or not?

    No, I'm not telling you that. I'm telling you that your plan is exactly the plan of the ones trying to destroy Palestine. That's why they bankrolled the creation of Hamas, and supported and financed it even into the 2020s. And there's quite some evidence they also let Oct 7 happen so they could have the perfect excuse to carry out everything we've seen these last three years.

    So what is really the plan you're suggesting? They attack and what? Are you saying they're gonna win in an armed conflict against Israel? How?

    Not exactly. Europrices are always after taxes, Muricans always speak of prices before taxes (and tip, if applicable), so just mentally changing the € for $ or vice versa gets you a good enough approximation.

    I'm from one of the listed countries and I've seen people, some of them minors, end up much worse than the lad in the picture from an 'encounter' with our very own police, whose wages are stolen from our work, who work for the people doing this investigations. The victims had to pay fines and/or do community work, the pigs got out scotch-free, maybe even a short paid (by us) vacation. So yes, you are right, these politicians, judges, prosecutors.. don't have much interest in punishing any torture at all, or they'll start at home, they're just posturing.

    A biologist, a physicist, and a mathematician are traveling in a train through Scotland when they see a sheep on a field. "Look! Scottish Sheep are black!" Says the biologist. "Well, at least some Scottish sheep are black" Says the physicist. The mathematician clears their throat and says "We know that there's at least one sheep in Scotland, and that at least half of it is black"

    I've seen my fair amount of people in their death beds. They might regret many decisions or wish they'd make some things differently, but they never regret not have worked more. Enjoy your day off! You deserve it, and much more!

    Maybe they're already capitulating, accepting they couldn't write a proper os even if their damned lives depended on it and the next windows release will be a bastardised Linux distro with wine/proton built in so the compatibility would be transparent to the user. But idk, these are only hopes, I doubt that the people at Microsoft are that self aware and, even if they are, they'll find a thousand ways to fuck it up.

    First a warning: don't mix bleach with vinegar! Or citric acid. Or anything really, it's quite dangerous.

    For the cleaning a specific product would be always better, bleach OR (don't go mixing cleaning products!) oxy might do the trick.

    Clean the filter, I only have experience with home machines but it should be somehow accessible given that's a maintenance operation that should be performed frequently. When it's dirty some water stays inside the machine.

    The door must be left open when not in use.
