Here in Germany some McDonalds and Burger King do have self serve drink machines with unlimited drinks, but they are not that many (I would guess 10-20%). Some other fast food chains are more likely to have them, like Subway.
Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn’t rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn’t unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.
That is mostly there for another reason, to distinguish between different voltages.
When a connector is meant for a different voltage the Earth connector (which is thicker than the rest) gets moved along the circle so it would be impossible to plug it into one with a different voltage. The nub stops you from just turning the plug to make it fit.
Greetings from Germany from someone who has used these quite a few times, mostly 16A and 32A variants and has never seen a locking one.
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...
I dont know if they have all the metal you want, but maybe Youtube Music. One youtuber has stated that he gets about twice as much per view from YT Music than he does from Spotify.

I have (had) a few friends who communicate like this and its just annoying and exhausting. I am never planning anything again with them involved because they cannot state if they actually will or want to come.
I have 10kwh of storage, which helps a lot, and it wasnt that expensive, especially compared to a few years ago.
Now that sodium ion batteries are actually starting to become available we will see them taking over stationary storage, but for now LiFePo4 works pretty good.
Edge has started doing that too, whenever I download something from my Home Assistant instance while at home I have to rightclick and say that I really want to download it.
As long as such an option is available its not too bad.

Just because they have been supported by the US for a longer time.
I am not a fan of sending them anything, but that doesnt mean that they get more than ukraine this year and for the past 5-10 years, which is what you should compare.
Here in Germany you can decide how long you want your rates to be fixed, with the tradeoff being that longer times of fixed rates usually have slightly higher rates (in German its Zinsbindung).
I am lucky and happy that I chose to do 30 years fixed rates, after those 30 years I only have like 2k€ left anyway, so it doesnt matter what rates I get then really.
I get that it sucks when a device is locked, because you might need to install a different OS for a multitude of reasons, but as long as you are able to install whatever you want I dont blame the manufacturer.
Huh, I didnt even think about the word sea, as a non native English speaker I didnt think of it. I get the argument that the baltic sea and the Meditarranean are both seas and not oceans, but I looked it up too and, yeah the definitions flow into each other (lol). (Also, greetings from someone who lives a few kilometers away from the baltic sea).

Ich kann mir echt nicht erklären, wie Google das nicht schafft ne vernünftige WLAN Verbindung herzustellen, außer dass die Access Points bloß nicht sichtbar sein sollen oder die Decke 50m hoch ist und nur oben welche dran sein dürfen.
Eigentlich ist das wirklich nicht schwer, mit bisschen Geld und Erfahrung überall paar Access Points zu verteilen.
When I was younger it sometimes looked like the whole room was gigantic (bigger than any building in existence) when I was laying in bed in the evening.
It made me feel kind of uneasy, but nowadays this happens very rarely to me.
