Actualment hi ha un festival artistic, en molts llocs en Barcelona i els voltants. https://www.manifesta15.org/ca

El que a mi m'agrada es que finalment la antiga central elèctrica en Badalona (Tres Xemeneies) està oberta. Els instal·lacions artístiques no són tan impressionant com el edifici.

Leave home to buy some spices, then go to a wrong grocery store and make a mess there breaking everything on the shelves

He really is/was smart about some things - marketing and self-promotion. He started with millions and ended up with hundreds of billions, all thanks to his marketing skills, and knowing how to be in the right place at the right time.
Being good at one thing doesn't automatically mean he's good at other things - like running a company, or being an engineer as he likes to imagine himself.

Rotting flesh? ... You should probably go to a doctor

I think allowed shipping destinations are defined product by product. At least in the opposite direction it's true, when I look at the US Amazon, some products are available for shipping to EU, some are not.

I think it's finally time to restore the Mandate of Palestine:

  • Israelis get to live there but not their own special state
  • Palestinians get to live there but not their own special state
  • Everybody gets to hate the British, as is tradition
  • Brits finally get a colony back, it'll lift their mood after the brexit disaster

The rule is buy the default-gendered variant. If there a special "men's section" or "women's section" for a certain product category it means you'll be ripped off.

The biggest issue would be microchips which require some really precise machinery to manufacture.

1930s - complete reverse engineering
By then they had both an understanding of semiconductors and computational theory. Using semi-conductive materials to compute wasn't yet a thing, but there wouldn't be much surprise at the concept. Some kind of reproduction is likely, probably not a 5nm manufacturing process like modern chip factories, but they could make it.

1890s - eventual understanding, but not able to manufacture
Measuring devices were sensitive enough by then to measure tiny electrical fluctuations. They would be able to tell the device functions due to processing of electrical signals, even capture those signals. Biggest missing piece is mathematical theory - they wouldn't immediately understand how those electrical signals produce images and results. Reproduction - no. Maybe the would get an idea what's needed - refining silicon and introducing other stuff into it, but no way they could do it with equipment of the day.

1830s - electricity goes into a tiny box and does calculations, wow!
This is the age of the first great electrical discoveries. They would be in awe what is possible, and understand on a high level how it's supposed to work. Absolutely no way to make it themselves.

1730s - magic, burn the witch!

8 hours of nominal work does equal about 3-4 hours of actual focused work. This is completely normal don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Humans need to eat, go to toilet, socialize with their coworkers, relax the brain, move if constantly in the same position.

Btw, meetings are work. If you spend a lot of time in meetings that does count as actual work.
