@Hairsplitter @levelsio Oh, but then he'd have to learn Portuguese. Or use Google Translate. Too much hassle for the average American brain!

@levelsio Bullshit, based on partial truth. Just do a preliminary information request from the municipality before you buy. You may even sign a pre-sale contract which depends on the result of that preliminary information request.

You see theses posts a lot: here's some cheap rural land in Portugal, Spain or Italy, what a deal! Americans and Western/Northern Europeans start drooling immediately, imagine having a big piece of farm land with olives or grapes in Southern Europe? We could renovate it and build it into the place of our dreams, and cheap! Who doesn't want a farm these days But then you find out it's bullshit Because it's not like American rural land where you have pretty much full freedom to do whatever you want this, and usually there's even less freedom than in Western/Northern Europe in this case 9 out of 10 times you can't do anything with it because Southern European land is highly protected: it's usually a mix of buildable (in Portugal "urbano") and non-buildable (in Portuguese "rustico") land usually, the buildable part is the house, but even if you'd like to tear it down, you can ONLY rebuild it in the exact same design as how it looked before And the non-buildable land you can literally do nothing with but just look at Say goodbye to your dreams! It's mostly useless land and no you also can't turn it into a hotel or Airbnb unless you are a Southern European local and a member of the local municipality where you can green light any conversions of non-buildable to buildable land or give yourself an Airbnb or hotel license Which is by the way how many people in government here get rich, buy cheap non-buildable land for €50,000, convert it to buildable and sell it to a foreign hotel chain or developer for €1,000,000 or more (a 20x gain at least!) But you need connections or bribe people! Which foreigners can't and won't, because foreigners are new to a country, don't have 40+ years of connections to get stuff done and generally won't bribe So be honest: it's useless land

A family in Portugal is selling their 40-acre estate. It's inside a protected natural park. Farmhouse restored in the local style. A natural spring, a stream running through the land, two dams, and a well 75m deep. It also has olive trees, fruit trees, and a cork oak forest. In Portugal, cork oaks are protected by law. You can't cut them down. But every 9 years you can harvest the bark, and it grows back. The harvested cork goes into wine stoppers, flooring, insulation, handbags, shoes, even aerospace panels. This estate's trees currently hold about 24 tons of it. The estate covers three parcels. The house sits on the first and can be expanded by over 50%. The other two have potential for new builds. €782k ($920k), direct from the owner. Happy to do an intro for anyone seriously interested. Serra de São Mamede, 2km from the Spanish border. At night, there's no light pollution and according to the owners you can see the Milky Way. What would you do with a place like this?

@levelsio Oh no, you mean American AI bros won't swarm the Italian countryside? What a shame. "And the non-buildable land you can literally do nothing with but just look at" Or, you know, farm it, or rent it out. Which is why it's classified as *agricultural* land.

Even as Russia itself implodes, Russian money continues to fund propaganda nonsense to whitewash them to western audiences, with Hollywood's most successful actors clamoring for Russian blood money. I didn't know that Jude Law and Paul Dano were so hard up for cash. Honestly, I cant tell u how many times I've been offered large amounts of cash to help the bad guys in social media operations, but there's simply no amount of money that would get me there. And these guys..Just shameful.

Had a conversation with Iranian President, Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, to discuss the serious situation in the region. Expressed deep concern over the escalation of tensions and the loss of civilian lives as well as damage to civilian infrastructure. The safety and security of Indian nationals, along with the need for unhindered transit of goods and energy, remain India’s top priorities. Reiterated India’s commitment to peace and stability and urged for dialogue and diplomacy. @drpezeshkian

One of the most significant moments from the Trump Davos speech was when he said the quiet part out loud You cannot lower housing costs for young people without destroying millions in wealth for boomers "Every time you make it more affordable for somebody to own a house cheaply, you are actually hurting the value of those houses. I don't want to do anything to hurt the value of their house. If I wanted to crush the housing market, I could do that so fast that people could buy houses. But you would destroy people who already have houses." Our politicians are sacrificing people in their 20s and 30s for the prosperity of boomers Let that sink in

@JayinKyiv You know? I hope this will be a wake-up call for European leaders; you can't faff around and hope that the next election cycle will give the US a democratic president that has any less contempt of the EU. America is a hostile power and should be dealt with as such.

Chancellor Merz: Dear friends, the decades of Pax Americana are largely over for us in Europe, and for us in Germany as well. It no longer exists as we knew it. That's the way it is. The Americans are now very, very aggressively pursuing their own interests. And that can only mean one thing: that we, too, must now pursue our own interests. And, dear friends, we're not so weak after all. We're not so small after all.

@autocar How will the new chassis take to petrolization? Realistically, the people who're asking for a petrol Cayman are those who bought a Porsche for its driving dynamics - dropping a boxer engine in the new model would be a futile exercise if the end result drove like dogshit.

@FeralKitten222 @nexta_tv I, as an European, wonder sometimes if Americans understand that we became "demilitarized" because you wanted us to be dependent on the US for security and military procurement. Still to this day, your President insists Europe should stand by itself... But buy American weapons.

@nexta_tv I, as an American, wonder sometimes if Europeans understand that we became militarized in order for them to become demilitarized. Before WWII, we were relatively demilitarized and professed neutrality. I hate Trump, but agree that we can’t afford to be Europe’s standing army.

🤡 Their kind of “struggle”: ultra-left radicals and Greta Thunberg protest Europe’s “militarization” Greta Thunberg is protesting the EU’s rearmament plan. She said that a “military economy destroys lives, creates debt, and fuels wars for the sake of war itself.” Together with ultra-left activists, Greta is calling for protests and strikes against the defense industry. It’s worth noting that left-wing radicals in Europe have consistently opposed arms deliveries to Ukraine, claiming they “fuel the war.” By their logic, Ukraine should have surrendered immediately — and the war would have ended. Earlier, under their influence, Germany shut down its nuclear power plants, forcing Europe’s strongest economy to become dependent on Russian energy supplies. That decision backfired hard when Russia invaded Ukraine and Europe had to urgently wean itself off Russian oil and gas.

Japan has just rendered an entire generation of conventional submarines obsolete, and the world hasn’t fully realized it yet. With the Taigei class and its lithium-ion batteries, Tokyo already set a new benchmark: up to three weeks submerged without ever raising a snorkel. That, however, was merely the opening act. Today, Toyota and Panasonic are leading the global race in solid-state batteries, with prototypes arriving in 2027–2028, mass production after 2030, and Japan’s next submarine class will be the first to use them, either in pure battery form or as a hybrid with a small reactor for onboard recharging. This hybrid would be similar to what the Chineses are developing. The leap is staggering. A 4,000 ton conventional submarine will patrol for 40 to 60 days without surfacing, sprint well above 20 knots for hours on end, and do it all more quietly than many nuclear subs, thanks to being significantly lighter and running solely on battery power. Solid-state cells weigh roughly one-third as much, generate 40 % less heat, and eliminate half the cooling systems. The result is a faster, stealthier hull that can travel thousands of kilometers without ever breaking the surface. Those hundreds of saved tons translate directly into more powerful electric motors, extra torpedoes and missiles, cutting-edge sensors, or greater crew comfort. The same hull now carries twice the energy or twice the weapons. It means that by 2035–2040, Japan will field conventional submarines with the endurance and sprint performance of today’s 8,000-ton nuclear boats, at one-third the cost and without the political baggage of uranium.
