Cómo es un embrague de un formula 1? Imprimí una maqueta para explicarlo y me conseguí a un estudiante de mecánica (dice que es mi hermano ni idea)

@danenero8 @Cuestor23 No es siempre así. Los aportes al bps son un porcentaje del sueldo, mientras que los profesionales lo hacen según fictos. Por ejemplo, una persona de 40 con un sueldo medianamente alto aporta más en el régimen del bps.

@Cuestor23 Cierto, pero tb es cierto q los profesionales aportan más q los del bps y no tienen seguro de paro, despidos ni muchos otros beneficios q tienen los cotizantes al bps El tema es lo q recauda la caja, ahí hay un problema Si aumentan el valor de ciertos timbres arreglan mucho

@debian This is to the detriment of Debian. I wouldn't be surprised if many developers wonder if giving their time to the project, only for you to take this kind of decisions, is still worth it.

The Debian Publicity Team will no longer post on X/Twitter. We took this decision since we feel X doesn't reflect Debian shared values as stated in our social contract, code of conduct and diversity statement. X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe.

@MarioNawfal It's not that simple. Milei's goverment exchanged very short-term debt from the central bank, whose interests appears in the table as BCRA quasi-fiscal loss, to treasury debt. The latter accrues interests that hasn't shown in the accounting yet.

🚨🇦🇷ARGENTINA’S 2023 FISCAL DISASTER BEFORE MILEI: DEFICIT HIT 15.3% OF GDP ($90B) The IMF confirms what many tried to deny: Argentina’s consolidated fiscal deficit for 2023 soared to 15.3% of GDP—$90 billion. Breakdown of the economic wreckage Milei inherited: -Primary deficit: 2.9% -Interest expenditure: 1.9% -BCRA quasi-fiscal loss: 10.5% (more than double 2021 levels!) Since taking office, Milei has slashed spending, ended reckless money printing, and begun stabilizing the economy—reversing the failures of Mandrilandia (Milei's nickname for Argentina’s corrupt economic establishment, likening it to a circus run by mandrills.) Economist Ramiro Castiñeira calls out the “econochantas”—fraudulent economists—who downplayed the crisis. Milei exposes them, proving their policies nearly bankrupted Argentina.

🇺🇸NEW HORIZONS CAPTURES STUNNING VIEW OF PLUTO NASA's New Horizons spacecraft captured a near-sunset view of Pluto's rugged mountains and icy plains. The image features the icy plain Sputnik Planum, flanked by the Norgay Montes and Hillary Montes. Backlighting reveals over a dozen haze layers in Pluto's atmosphere. The scene, taken from 11,000 miles away, spans 780 miles. Source: @amazingnature

@notayesmansecon Thanks for the blog. The point of crushing the fiscal deficit, which was financed by the BCRA, is to stop money creation. Milei subscribes to the point of view that inflation is a 100% monetary phenomenom.

Cambridge scholarship exam, 1961. On Saturday put some Coleridge into Latin hexameters & Housman elegiacs; write an essay on human equality (in Latin); on Monday write an apologia for Helen in Latin verse, then an essay on "the next 40 years of Classical scholarship" (in Eng.!).

Lemons are a human invention. The same is true of:- → Grapefruit. → Oranges. → Limes. You would never find them in the wild. They were created by selectively breeding from three primary ancestors native to South and East Asia. → Citrus. → Pomelos. → Mandarins. When life gives you lemons:- ↳ Thank scientists and farmers. Almost everything you eat has been modified genetically by humans. P.S. Repost this lemon 🍋 ♻️ Thank you!

@DrEugeniaCheng Love it.

Just came across this while going through some old stuff... from when I was a PhD student. The brilliant category theorist Richard Garner is right in front of me - he was an undergrad at the time I think. Someone particularly brilliant is in the middle of the front row...

@EvanHD "BYD" is actually an abbreviation of their Chinese name Biyadi, from the original trademark Yadi Electronics (亚迪电子, named after the Yadi Road in Dapeng New District). “Bi” was added for alphabetical advantage at trade shows. "Build Your Dreams" is a slogan 1/2
