It's pretty much a clone of Adobe XD but works in the browser. Adobe XD only has Windows and Mac clients and I think it's tied to all the Adobe Cloud bullshit. Feature wise I think they are pretty much the same, didn't dive deep enough to find differences, but Figma started getting traction and Adobe got scared. Now since Adobe can't buy it and Figma is getting a round billion to improve their tool it looks like Adobe is in a good position to loose this market.

I think it's just like soy sauce, only fishy.

This is so sad. In Spain the government takes care of the central internet infrastructure and fiber is now available pretty much everywhere. You want to start an ISP? Just buy access to the central network and build the last mile. Every small town has it's on ISP or two. You want fiber? Some guy will show up tomorrow and lay down a cable to your house. $20-$30 a month without any termination fees. Last time I had to connected internet in new apartment it took literally couple hours.

USA should do the same but of course red states would block it and lobbyists for the corporations would fight it on every step. So instead they are giving free money to the telcos making sure the prices will stay high and no investment will be done.

There's a company claiming that they analyzed rests of garum found in some ancient vase and reconstructed the recipe. You can now buy Garum supposedly same as the Roman one. https://www.amazon.com/Matiz-Flor-Garum-Premium-Spanish/dp/B07CRMQZP5

Reckless driving is not the same as bad quality driving. For example I knew a guy once who said that he never knew who has to yield at a intersection so would always stop and let the other guy go. Was he a good driver? No. Was his behavior going to kill someone? Also no. A driver that knows he has the right of way and drives through a roundabout at 100km/h maybe a better driver but has higher chance of killing someone.

As to TV shows and automotive press I think they invested or at least are actively promoting the idea that driving fast is 'sexy'. It's really hard to watch Top Gear and not to get the idea that what they are selling is the idea that driving a Ferrari at 200km/h is exciting. It would one thing it they showed it strictly in the context of a racetrack and professional competition but they are constantly mixing it with every day driving. The are saying that all driving can be exiting. Why we don't do this with other sports? Downhill cycling is existing but you don't see a lot of people jumping down the stairs on their way to work. Why with other sports we clearly separate the sport activity and everyday version of it but with driving the idea is that public roads are extensions of race tracks and a good driver can have fun on both? I blame the shows romanticizing fast cars as something desirable by everyone and driving as a skill every real man should master. The effects we see on the roads every day.

Yeah, it's a slippery slope. First they get fingerprints of tourists and than you have no rights.

I torrented it. It's a Spanish production that I thin was available on movistar+ platform. Hard to find.

Not if the author finds and destroys it.

BTW Conquistadores Adventum is a really good show about the colonization of Americas. It shows how tough the sailing was but also how brutal the conquest was and tells the stories of people behind it.

What exactly are you worried about?

You're pretending, right? I mean you can't be this stupid... Or maybe?

"Increase" means that the problem existed before the lockdown and still exists after lockdown. If you really think people were speeding only during pandemic and deadly car accidents are 'imaginary danger' your and idiot. Keep enjoying your tuned up BMW. It just further confirms my theory that fast cars are for stupid people.

You know what a spike is? Apparently not.
