You checked where?

And no, you are still wrong, because the taxes were still there, just slightly indirect. The states paid their soldiers and other employees in the coins the state produced and the peasants had to sell food and services to these soldiers with these coins, which is in effect a form of taxation.

If you want to actually educate yourself about money I recommend you read “Debt, the first 5000 years” by David Graeber.

Da ist die Wikipedia nicht aktuell: https://www.heise.de/news/Portugal-erteilt-Lizenz-fuer-Betrieb-eines-Raketenstartplatzes-auf-den-Azoren-10544848.html

Even then the gold was used to mint coins with a nominal value set by the state and it had to be used to pay taxes.

The gold content/value of these coins also often did not correspond to the nominal value, especially over time.

Not everything is nonsense, just because you lack the knowledge to understand it 😅

Es gibt bereits einen Startplatz in Portugal auf der Azoreninsel Santa Maria.

Maybe if the German elites were willing to help, but they are busy stuffing their pockets and gloating about their investments into Rheinmetall and other war profiteers having multiplied recently. The problem goes much deeper than comparing conscripts between Finland and Germany.

This is the funniest statement I have read this month 😅

There is no such thing as money without the state, because it becomes money only because you have to pay taxes in it, otherwise it is at most a debt voucher or some form of speculative asset.

And aside from that, what do you think “sovereignty” refers to?

IANAL, but apparently only for transfers exceeding 1000€.

Funny how you first ignore Wikipedia when it doesn’t fit your propaganda story and now claim it as a source 😅

Let me introduce you to this.

Hey kiddo, stop listening to PRC propaganda 🤦

Given the memory optimization mentioned in the text, it looks a bit like there will be a 8GB ram version of the Steam Frame. Makes sense really, as it will make it significantly cheaper and for people mostly using it to stream from their main PC it shouldn’t matter much.

Threatening to attack and occupy their self-ruled neighbors is pretty much the textbook definition of imperialist 🤦

People can have one opinion and still prefer to vote against it given the likely consequence of the imperialist neighbor attacking them 🤷

Lol, what are you even talking about? Since 20 years the opinion polls are clear: The majority of the people living in Taiwan consider themselves Taiwanese. There is a somewhat large minority that considers themselves both Taiwanese and Chinese, but when asked to choose between the two the people of Taiwan overwhelmingly (like 90%) prefer to call themselves Taiwanese.

Edit: but it looks like I am replying to a fresh Tankie sockpuppet account, so I guess no need to bother 🤦

I am referring to the opinion of the current inhabitants of Taiwan as expressed in opinion polls.

Yes, but afaik the temperature reading is also on the flash itself. On Samsung nvme drives you even get two different temperature readings to differentiate it if I recall correctly.

It’s not generally a bad idea, but you get very low grade heat if you want to keep the PV panels cool and in general you will quickly run into the issue what to do with all the heat on sunny days, while not having enough on cloudy days.

I know this sounds trivial, but you need very little solar thermal surface area to cover all your domestic hot water needs so with the above solution you will run into a too much heat problem rather quickly and convertig it into something else is not feasible due to the very low grade of it (40°C or so).

Maybe a solution for large public outdoor pools 🤷

No, that is only the official line due to history and political pressure from China.

I ran into similar issues before, but adding a passive cooler brought the temperatures down sufficiently.

However when researching the issue there were several people that claimed that ~70° C is actually the design temperature for these SSDs, which would explain why they usually don’t come with a cooler.
