So its probably a menstrual product. Very appropriate for a "holy" day, considering menstrual blood is still considered "unclean" in most fundamentalism circles

Never owned leather shoes an all of them had a "break in period". Probably different to leather but they change drastically the first 5-10h you wear them.

I have Podcast Addict, I think its free but I paid a few dollars because of the great selection of settings and options I never knew I needed.

(For example I have it configured so that after 5pm the Sleeptimer automatically makes the podcast fade down and pausing after 10' of listening, unless I move/shake the phone during the fade down-part, then it extends for another 10'. Perfect for using it in public transport or in bed and dozing off.)

Tbh switzerland has a similar system to the SGAE, where there is a "hidden tax" on all devices that you can load with data. And in turn the downloading of media (with the exclusion of computerprograms and games) is legal. Only the upload of copyrighted material is forbidden.

Not a bad system imo, the tax is so small that you dont really notice it so its a pretty consumer-friendly and piracy-friendly solution. Altho I assume the swiss government gets away with it because it would be too expensive to lobby/legal for a copyrightsholder-favoured system compared with the small amount of people (let alone pirate) who live here.

Symphonium: The best money I ever spent on an app.

I am 70% sure this is correct, i remember vaguely: The swiss law was written in 2019 iirc. The idea is that there is a high tax on drives/usb sticks/dvds and all such devices. This gets distributed to copyrightholders in some way. And uploading is illegal.

Ziemlich unnötig. 10 Fahrräder mit maroden Bremsen, ohne Licht und Klingel sind noch weniger schlimm als 1 Auto mit den gleichen Problemen. Halt wegen der Geschwindigkeit, dem Gewicht und der Grösse.

Und ein falsch parkiertes Auto braucht so viel Platz wie 5-15 abgestellte Fahrräder.

Deshalb lohnt es sich schon, den Blick auf die Autos zu richten und dort zuerst die Gesetze (besser) durchzusetzen, bevor man Fahrräder strenger kontrolliert.

I mean, integrated recipies seem helpful, as it can tell you what when to add and with the scale already integrated it seems convinient. No? And some models have an integrated induction heater (up to 180°) so they can cook as well. So if you are alone and cooking a onepot or sth. you dont have to get out the pans or use the oven. I even heard of a device which is connected to a recipie database and an shopping-list-app. It seems convinient if everything is connected.

The appliance in the picture is a standmixer + scale + induction cooker with additional features to do much more (if you buy them ofc). What I dont know is if the app/wifi connection is required or optional, if its required I am not buying it.

It appeals to me because you can just throw in the ingredients the appliance tells you to and after 10-20 mins you have a done onepot, soup, dough or sauce. But am worried about the software part of this becuse I am with you about those 5 years and then they lose interest. But those companies are reputable and have a long history of repairing their devices and giving new warranty on it after the repair. So that makes me optimistic, kinda.

I'd want to set a default sort option (to top) or maybe have it saved for all post or for each community separately.
