There are several military bases by several countries, yes, including but not limited to the PRC.

The tribunal ruled that those islands are too small to count.

Then it should be settled, no? It's not the first time the UN commission refuses to recognize EEZ around uninhabited rocks in the middle of the sea

Well, that's a lie. It's not from the 19th century, it's from the 20th century. It's not from a treaty, but a statement by the RoC government, and there was no signee, because it's not a treaty.

Specifically, the RoC published a map in 1947 showing 11 dashed lines. Mao then adopted the claim after he took power and changed the map in 9 dashed lines, in 2013 then the PRC added a 10th line near Taiwan. Also the PRC ratified the UNCLOS in 1996, which should make the whole point moot.

It's almost as if it's made up bullshit to justify Chinese imperialism, don't you think?

  1. China's claim is the same as Italy claiming the whole Mediterranean as their own because at some point the Roman empire claimed it (Mare Nostrum, literally "our sea"). That's not how it works and it's clearly bullshit

  2. I didn't see Taiwan ramming anyone, did I? Also Taiwan is claiming to be China and all that because the PRC wants to keep the status quo. If Taiwan were to publicly renounce their pre revolution status and declare themselves an independent nation it would precipitate a crisis with China.

They had a lot of money, but MS probably added a couple zeros to that lot of money.

I'd have taken the offer too, as I'd be set for life, and so would my kids and my kids' kids.

Tbh I share an apk twice a year on a shared Whatsapp group and that's all the "maintaining" I do, so I don't care that much. I've had worse

And revanced takes some steps, more than just "install this package, done".

It depends. Personally I patch it and then share the patched apk with friends and family, so for them it's literally just "install this package, done" without compromising security.

If someone from the UK is saying this, my god it must be bad.

The original company was never Italian. The founder was Italian, but the company was incorporated in German Alsace, which then became French Alsace after the Great War. There was a brief attempt at a revival in Italy in the late 80s, early 90s, but it didn't really go anywhere. Today's company is French and is mostly controlled by the Croat Rimac (and partially by Porsche, which owns VW, which owns Porsche)

In the US coffee = filter coffee, espresso = espresso

In Italy coffee = espresso, dirty water = filter coffee

[–] Rinox@feddit.it 2 points 2 months ago

even though every restaurant has an espresso machine it doesn’t mean they clean it, and doesn’t mean their staff knows how to use it properly. Water temps too high, too much coffee grounds, over compressed, lowest quality beans. Fucking everywhere. It’s awful.

And this is why, as an Italian, I can't drink espresso anywhere in the world. 9/10 is just awful

Coffee made with a Moka pot

What you call mocha should actually be called Mocaccino, although it's more similar to what we call Marocchino in Italy. They're both derived from the "Bicerin", a drink typical of Turin.

Marocchino is like a Cappuccino with powdered cocoa (mix the espresso and cocoa before pouring the milk).

Mocaccino is instead made up of three layers, a layer of melted chocolate, then a layer of espresso, then a layer of frothy milk.

Afaik they're not massively popular in Italy, but here in the north I see Marocchino more often than Mocaccino.

PS: if you want to pronounce them correctly, "chi" and "che" are pronounced "ki" and "ke", while "ci" and "ce" are pronounced "chi" and "che".
