@DrEliDavid @JJansaSDS Once a communist, always a communist.

Huge news that needs more coverage. @JJansaSDS is one of the greatest allies of the US and Israel in Europe. He has pledged that if he returns to power, he will move Slovenia's embassy to Jerusalem and reverse the current government's recognition of "Palestine".

@PoonerOfHeath @BalkanAndBeyond @sovietvisuals No, it was not surprising. At the times it was far in the future, now we have handheld machines with us all the time, that read our toughts and wants, then proceed to transmit them to a interested party.

@BalkanAndBeyond @sovietvisuals That last cover!
It's surprising you'd get away with printing a cover about Orwell's 1984 in Yugoslavia in 1983

There is one magazine so influential that it sparked a technological revolution in the 1980s, without ever being backed by a corporate giant.
That magazine was "Galaksija"- a Yugoslav science and Sci-Fi phenomenon published throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
When imports of Western computers were impossible, Galaksija published the blueprints for a home computer (the "Galaksija") in a special DIY edition.
The result?
Thousands of people soldered their own boards. Most computers had no case, so they lived in cigar boxes, wooden crates, or custom metal frames. "Naked" computing at its finest.
Before the internet, radio shows like Belgrade's Ventilator 202 broadcast software straight over the airwaves. You simply held a cassette recorder to the speaker, recorded the static, and there was your new program.
Beyond the tech, the magazine was a visual trip. Its covers were legendary, often featuring surreal, striking sci-fi art blending space-age dreams with bold graphic design.
🫡A salute to the late visionary Zoran Modli. As a man of two skies, both as a radio host and a Boeing 737 pilot, he famously broadcast computer code over Ventilator 202, turning radio signals into a makeshift 1980s internet ❤️

@TheDoorRestorer A friend of mine got a large plastic suitcase full of used screws as a joke gift for bday 20 or so years ago. Went thru 3/4 of them.

@dmweisberger @RobertKennedyJr It would involve more people farming.

I just spent 2 incredible weeks in Italy and it is so frustrating to come back to the U.S…
How is it possible @RobertKennedyJr that the Italian food supply is so vastly superior.
I literally ate bread at every meal, dessert multiple times per day, and generally ate way more than I do in the U.S.
Not once did I have acid reflux. Not one headache, no digestive problems, and I didn’t gain any weight.
If I ate the same way in the U.S. (I used to at times) I would have gone through a full bottle of Tums and Advil just to get through the day…
WHY does the U.S. allow glyphosate in wheat, high fructose corn syrup in food and who knows what in our milk products?
The difference in quality of life in Italy vs the U.S. is staggering from their common sense (anti corporate) food regulation.
WHY aren’t more people upset about this?
The U.S. is the richest country in the world and we eat like one of the poorest.

@MbarkCherguia The tiny screwdriver for the head adjustment is missing.

@TheCinesthetic The movie is good. It got a reputation for being a expensive and prolonged production.
English

Waterworld (1995) got destroyed as a bloated mess, but it’s a huge swing that actually delivers, the world building feels lived in, the action still holds up. A post apocalyptic film that was ahead of its time and overdue for a serious reassessment.

What is a movie that is critically hated but you genuinely love without irony

Morse Code Day, celebrated on April 27, honors the legacy of Samuel Morse, whose groundbreaking code revolutionized global communication and still lives on today through amateur radio and CW enthusiasts worldwide.
From the first telegraph messages to modern ham radio contacts, Morse code remains a timeless language of the airwaves. 📡⚡

@BiankaB12 We have a dryer, a electric heated rack and a normal rack. Using them all.

An europoor here 🙋♀️
I have a dryer, several balconies AND a yard. During winter, I still dry my clothes on a rack in my bedroom, because it humidifies the air + smells of fresh laundry when I go to bed. During the summer, I dry them outside in the sun.
A dryer is not that expensive and most households can afford one. Most people that have them, still dry their clothes on a rack more often than not.
