Vote to leave Europe and then complain that you lost all benefits living in Benidorm

I regularly go to “La Mañica” in Albacete, where you can get the baturro with a drink and coffee for less than 10€. That bocadillo is bigger than my arm.

Do the numbers! Check that the range is at least double of that you need. Check if the purchase price makes economic sense. Put priority on wants and needs. Think of resale value, because you never know if some life changing event can happen.

I avoided that bullet in 2017 when my e39 blew the headgasket. It was either a modern EV or hybrid or a cheap second hand gas guzzler. At less than 5000km a year the numbers told me what I needed to know, and looking back, my Mondeo ST220 has been much cheaper overall, fun and dead reliable.

We have all heard this song before and know how it ends.

In southern Spain you can’t dig without hitting some stone age stuff. My town was a known stop for travellers before the Romans took over because of fresh water wells. Eventually a roman road was built about two millenia ago, and still ride on it with my bike for some routes.

No old buildings remain, this was a roadside village and stuff was made cheap and not meant to last, but there is a funeral arrangement from 600 BC that was unearthed and sent to the national museum. More info

It’s funny that in spanish only the “c” is translated.

We say “ce sharp”

I’m in a mixed case, I do use bone conducting headphones that are wireless when on my bike, because ear headphones are a 100€ fine I would like to avoid. Well, also use a Cardo on my motorbike…

But on the treadmill or at home I use some good quality wired earbuds, with thick ribbon cable that doesn’t tangle up. It is just confortable for me and one less thing to charge and throw away after the batt says goodbye.

The phone: Ulefone Armor 21.

Some easy examples you can relate to:

• do you work overtime, even for a minute, and don’t get paid for it? Wage theft!
• does your company make fun of people using their allowed days off, making you not use them? Wage theft!
• does your company make you buy tools required for your job, because the ones available are shit or non existant? Wage theft!
• does your boss call you during your days off, holidays or vacations? Wage theft!
• are you assigned tasks that are more suited to a higher compensation level, but don’t see a dime? Wage theft!
• are your coffee and lunch breaks interrupted early or entirely canceled and not compensated? Again, wage theft!

Well, my older one was on raspberry os for a while, because she just needed a web for school stuff, but I couldn’t get movie streaming working, and she was starting with video projects the SD wasn’t enough so I ended up getting her a laptop without pre-installed os and set it up with Fedora, and to date no serious problems.

The younger one has my old Ryzen 1700 PC, and tried Fedora first and couldn’t get his games (Roblox or Fortnite) to work, but did get Steam to work… So without much investigation I just tried another distro based off Debian, and gave a try to popos. Same thing. Reading about it, it’s deliberate these developers don’t want their games working on Linux.

So I’ve temporarily swapped his ssd with a windows 10 setup until I can get him to give up these games. I guess age will do it :(

I finally got myself a pihole up and running. Yeah and the regular stuff… ditched reddit, got protonmail and trying to move my kids to using popos.

Ulefone Armor 21 has a RGB notification led on the front and a light ring on the back.

It also has audio jack and get this… FM radio!

It also weighs as much as my bed, but I wouldn’t want anything else!

It isn’t common. As a driver you can be fined for distracting actions like eating or drinking while driving.
