Because for true Romans the Vatican will always represent the last bit of the temporal power that Popes exercised on the population for centuries and that keeps being exercised de facto true the corruption and continuous ingerence of the Catholic Church in Italian political affairs, local and national.

Not that they are better or worse than all other priests of any confession or religion, but the Catholic Church is the one we have a quite fresh memory of.

Nah, those need a Pope to stay in power in Italy.

If a side-effect of Trump's idiocy is having the Vatican bombed out of existence, as a Roman, I'll take it.

That's what you get with religious believers in power.

Lately I take the stance of no more member countries until veto is removed.

A rat done bit my sister Nell...

Indeed. Blackfinger girls are the best, reason why Kaylee in Firefly is hands down the best in the series.

I am Italian and, living in Scandinavia, apart from being mostly disgusted by the other chocolate spreads, I am always very surprised to see the office managers, offering breakfasts on select days, defaulting to a teaspoon in the Nutella jar.

I grew up with a taboo for that and the only way I would ever have Nutella is by scraping some with a knife-side and spreading it thinly on a slice of bread.

It's funny to see people do such things and then coming with the question: "you Italians have pasta, pizza and Nutella and you still manage to be so thin. How?!"

Check your portions.

Took the leap and actually started paying a nutritional biologist (translating an Italian term) and lost 10 kgs without noticing.

All while keeping training at least 3 days a week and maintaining strength gains and sometimes even getting better.

I also started a book club focused on sci-fi and non-fiction about technology and digital rights, to force myself to start reading again, since I noticed a sharp degradation of my ability to express myself and to analyze discourse.

Finally, I am learning French as my fifth language.

I would love to say I am doing great for being 40+, but mental health and zero social life affect me more than I would like to admit.

Soon we will be able to sing again "Whitey's on the moon"

You never wrote "without additional clarification", as far as I can read in the parent comments to this one.

Installing from other app stores. Installing, but not from the Play Store. Installing from not-Google-controlled stores.

It's installing. Context can be given using this wonderful semantic device called "subordinate clauses".

I am sorry I am not Finnish, but yes, you should.

Helsinki is the gift I give myself every year FIR my birthday, this one was my Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy one, so I made it special with a local guide showing me Kaurismäki movie locations, bronze age burial mounds and Seurasaari.

Sometimes I wonder if the church missed the Reform: your JC doesn't justify war, maybe, but the crazies doing massacres on a whim are protestants (if not Zionist Jews) and their flavor of JC not only justifies it, but even requires a sacrifice of empowered Israeli for the Second Coming to happen.

These statements have no weight. Typical priests.

I understand but I think we call pride also the sense of belonging to a chain of individuals that achieved growth of knowledge, rights, scientific discoveries and engineering results.

It is a meaning of the word that would easily lend itself to manipulation but also one that allowed individuals to contribute and to stand on the shoulders of giants.

In that sense, the highest level one would easily be being human.

In the GUI, it doesn't find anything. The icon keeps rotating and nothing more. If I set a connection with a known SSID and password in the 01-netconf.yml file it connects. Problem is that it would not work with a web-based authentication, for example. Also, what I set up in the yml file does not appear under Saved Networks in the GUI.

You should be proud to be human.

Not to be born within some imaginary line drawn on a map, in an area that later got "cleaned" as much as possible of everyone else not speaking the same language or worshipping the same god.
