Everything is a table if you're brave enough.

I know, but I'm not a rally driver so it won't make much difference to me.

I'm skipping that this year. My summer tires wore out last year, so now I'll wear out the winter tires.by driving the during summer. Next time I'll get all year tires.

Both.

Copied from various sources elsewhere:

Consumer confidence is a catch-all phrase for the opinions and attitudes of consumers about the current and future strength of the economy.

Consumer confidence index (CCI) is a standardised confidence indicator providing an indication of future developments of households’ consumption and saving.

The Consumer Confidence Index is based on the Consumer Confidence Survey, which has a responding sample size of 3,000 questionnaires. The survey was initially conducted every two months starting in 1967 but changed to monthly tracking in 1977.

There are five questions asked in the survey. The first two relate to present economic conditions while the remaining three are related to future expectations.

There's congestion in German cities too. The point isn't to drive away. During rettungsgasse, nobody goes anywhere. They just make way by stopping to the sides.

The problem in NY is that the cars are too big for the lanes to do that.

Yes sure.

Now, if you look at the change from the beginning of Trump's first term where the tariffs were increased by 10% points (from 10% to 20%) and to the end of Biden's term in which Trump's tariffs were maintained, the imports dropped by 100 billion - regardless of COVID.

That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you want to talk about.

But.. now Trump increases the tariffs by an additional 114% points. (From 20% to 134%)

Assuming there is a correlation between tariffs and imports, which is the very point of doing it according to Trump, that would mean that imports would have to drop 1140 billion. This is obviously not possible from a 400 billion import, so it's essentially putting a full stop to all trades with China.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well. It's great that USA is not paying China, but... where does USA get stuff from then? 400 billion dollars worth of stuff not being available in USA will definitely cause all kinds of issues.

I think that is optimistic. Here's another graph:

Look at this graph:

trade balance

So.. draw your own conclusions.

I initially wrote a long analysis, but then I figured that these numbers are quite big to fuck around with. We'll find out soon enough.

De fleste flexjobs bliver ikke slået op, men skal søges uopfordret eller via netværk.

Har du overvejet Rema? De plejer at være gode til at tage fleksjobbere. Lidt for gode faktisk, men det er en anden historie.

Forsaken was pretty similar to Descent.

Denmark - Saba - Sand (www.youtube.com)
 

Denmark just had the national entry contest today.

The winner was Saba with the song "Sand". Linked in the post.

The top three final also included the 2014 winner Basim with the song "Johnny" and Janus Wiberg from Faroe Islands with the song "I need your love". Both received more audience votes than the winner, but the jury votes had put Saba ahead from the start.

Anyone else ready to go again?

 

Found at Brodega skateboards (Denmark)

I'm not affiliated, just found it funny.

A local skatepark held an official opening inviting Rune Glifberg and Nicky Guerrero to do a demo. The weather was tricky, but in between rain they managed to pull off a few tricks in the deep end. I didn't get a good photo of Rune.

(The 100kb limit on pictures is horrible.)

I am restoring an old chest and while removing a cover under the lid I found this label. As you can see, it's completely undecipherable except for "***halle & co." However there's another label underneath it. I wonder if I can separate them by putting it in water (like stamps off an envelope), but I'm afraid of destroying it if it has any value whatsoever.

The chest is made of wood and metal, but it's in a horrible state. Hinges and screws have been replaced prior to my owning, and the wood is damaged. I plan on restoring it, but would like to know it's history. Judging by materials and the label, I recon this is from 1900-1940s and American.

 

I'm trying to install Optifine on a Linux Mint Cinnamon laptop. Minecraft Java edition of course.

The game works and has been launched in version 1.20.1, but the Optifine installer keeps saying that I need run version 1.20.1 first.

Also, the installer is already pointing at the correct directory as default, but when I browse the location from the installer, I can't see or set the .minecraft directory manually.

What to do?
