Ah, so these spiders look like ants to fool the aphids that ants farm. Similar to how something that looked a lot like a human might fool cows and sheep into following them away to be eaten.

It will allow their bosses to dock their pay if they aren't stressed enough. Touted as something like "leverage stress resource optimization" or whatever.

Have you looked at the Piaggio MP3? I recall that it had a much higher than normal carrying capacity, at least on the higher displacement versions.

We do need electricians here in Portugal, but I thought the challenge was with getting licensed. All the non-Portuguese electricians I know here work under the table.

That said, if op cam get a remote programming job that allows them to work from Portugal (or can set up as a consultant and allow themselves to work from Portugal), they might have a way better time getting the D8 visa. Pay in Portugal is fairly low, but working for a US company as a remote consultant is (for now) a relatively easy way to meet the D8 income requirements (€3.5k per month income).

Alternately, if you have a moderately sized investment account and a willingness to adjust your investments for that purpose, you can use that for D7.

And as a third alternative, if you can get together enough money for a down payment on a house (or you already own one) you can use rental income for D7 (provided the rent is at least equivalent to €900 per month, regardless of expenses/mortgage).

One thing I will say about moving to Portugal: if you're moving to Lisbon or the Algarve, it will be hard and expensive. If you're moving to anywhere in the interior (or probably anywhere else here) it will be much easier and less expensive. Where I live, housing, utilities, and every other expense category is cheaper than where I lived in the US. (caveat - I drive an electric car. Gas is more expensive here.) That won't be the case in Lisbon or Faro, or even Porto.

The United States recently violated article 6 then, given that they don't seem to respect regulations and customs affecting the administration of Greenland.

It is probably Chinese junk, but I'm using a set of cudy m3000 WiFi6 mesh devices that run openwrt. Could be worth looking into. They are about as cheap as I've seen. There should be WiFi7 versions out nowish /soon.

Stabbed ... or bit?

I have a coworker who regularly wears an anti-static wrist strap that he attaches to grounding points on furniture. I'm not quite as staticy myself, so I usually just tap the screw on the light switches when I pass by during high static months. That's usually grounded.

I'm using since corporate Eset on Linux. When did they drop support?

Well, coming from a new Lemmy user, I just mean the platform, not the software or instance. We're all federated anyway, right? Maybe I just don't understand the difference that kbin offers over other Lemmy instances. Is it more? Then again, I'm also not entirely clear on why I need both a Lemmy account and a mastodon account.
