@aral The central government (PSOE, Sánchez) as a rule can't/won't interfere in anything on which the regions have that particular power. This reaches you because it's an international question, but this dynamic in which a regional government makes a big mistake, or negligence, or cruelty, and then public opinion blames the national government? That's the news. Every day.
(i'm not a Sanchez supperter, in general, he just gets blamed for things that it is not in his power to control or punish)
@quixoticgeek I said shows, but I have dedicated house shoes. They look a bit like Japanese school shoes.
@researchfairy hi, I'm a GenX woman with a Humanities education who uses Windows and Android and then as many free/ethical/open/indie programs as possible. Just for background.
I have been telling techie types that if there is sand in supermarket bread, I don't want to go to a gourmet bakery and I can't learn to make my own bread. I want a law that punishes sand on my bread.
@adhd_coffee I don't know the platform, but folks here mention https://ghost.org/ as the best alternative.
@chartier @DoomsdaysCW Oh, let me tell you an anecdote.
The European Union has been very slow in coordinating and unifying its consumer protections.
Spain joined the EEC in 1986.
But back in 1984 we had one of the strictest consumer protection laws; it took years for the EU to "reach us" in stuff like informative labels. We also had quirks like a prohibition of bulk buying (as in, unpackaged) to final consumers.
And it was because back in 1981, 330 people died and thousands got seriously ill from industrial-use oil sold as food-grade. To this day, people won't buy canola oil because the name sounds as poison. The case was a form of collective trauma.
@fesshole you're a hero.
@Tattie gods are imaginary friends.
Religion is a hallucination, a prop or a social disease.
Do you mean this sort of thing?
Q5 Leonardo da Vinci was both inspirational and a consummate maker. You are asked to make something as part of a celebration of him. With no limits on budget, what would you make? #MakersHour
There is a book I read in my teens that is actually comedy, "Da Vinci's recipe notebook" or something like that. It starts from the reality of medieval gastronomy and tells that Da Vinci invented nouvelle cuisine. Because the author wasn't known at all in Spain, it was advertised as authentic. I would serve recipes from the book.
Q1 Hello! Tell us who you are, and what’s inspired you this week.
A1: Hi, you can call me Guiri. Or Nia. I'm not a maker by trade; canning, cooking and mending are some of my hobbies. I was inspired by the happy perspective of a long weekend.

@MakersHour
I need to find quite urgently a psychotherapist that can work with teens in English. Algarve, or Huelva. Online could work too. Thanks.
