The shape of the candle plays a role as well. In order to boil, material must first melt. Beeswax candles are made so narrow that no pool of molten beeswax can form. And without it being liquid first, it also cannot boil.

You already joined the Eurovision.
But I cannot really see the EU capital being moved to Perth :D

There’s no insistence on UK adopting the Euro.

Any new member state adopts the Euro and joins the Schengen area. This is not something to insist, it’s just a rule that exists regardless of insisting or not insisting. Or insisting to not insist – whatever.

If the UK ever joins the EU, it will also join the Euro. It’s not really something that is up for debate.

I dunno… Why not? What’s so special about UK that they should stay out if Macedonia can join?

Maybe there should be an exception that the UK poll should have a 67,7 % “yes” instead of the standard 50 %, but otherwise I don’t see why we couldn’t apply the same rules we apply to everyone else around. They’re welcome :)

I’d say, make it unambiguously clear that joining the EU means joining the Euro and joining the Schengen area. Then require at least 67,7 % “Yes” in a poll.

I would prefer UK not joining us without these requirements fulfilled. And yes, other’s may join with just 50 % “yes”, but they don’t have a history of quitting the EU.

Joining the EU would mean dropping the Pound anyhow.

Why is there no proper OpenCiv4?

Which Shift key?

The left one?

Or the right one?

Since you are apparently, on Lemmy, firstly press the magnifying glass button on the upper right:

Then, in this menu, choose “Communities”:

As last, write here something that makes sense, and you’ll get a list of communities mentioning that:

…and press [Search]

Choose something that is not on lemmy.ml, and get on posting :)

I think that one was in Novorossijsk, maybe end of November or so?

What can you do with this feature? Maybe there’s something like that but with some other name?

It’s also more possible founding an alternative comm if one is too crazy. And the idiot fanatics seem to concentrate on select few intances that you can just block :)

This is something a good moderator will handle :)

I would have needed to create a user account for Reddit in order to start using it. And there was never a need to.

Then there was an online community on Fecesbook that wanted to migrate to somewhere, and they chose the Forumverse. So, I joined a Lemmy instance. Then it turned out that there’s this thing called PieFed that I like a little bit more yet, so now I’m on PieFed and no longer use Lemmy.

I have heard Reddit can be a reasonably good alternative to PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin, but I figure this suits my needs better, so there’s no need to try any alternatives.

So… I kind of switched by only ever reading Reddit as unregistered and it being too impractical.

I would assume that was probably what is called pool fire. If you heat a candle enough, you can get its stearin to vaporize before it’s lit on fire. The vaporized stearin burns very hot, causing the rest of the stearin to vaporize even faster, meaning there will be more fire, etc.

That’s why you should never put many tealights next to each other. They can be very skilled in causing a pool fire. And looking at the photo of a lot of candles shoulder to shoulder to each other, one would assume from the photo that there will eventually be a pool fire. Especially since there’s a tent that can do a good job directing the oxygen flow.

To continue the above: The amount of civilian prisoners held in the torture facilities around the occupied territories is crazy. And they go through daily torture, including electric shocks to their sexual organs and breaking finger bones, and other “fun” stuff. Ukrainians absolutely do not want that to happen to them.

Because the Russia is committing a genocide in the territories it has occupied from Ukraine, and Ukrainians are fully aware that the same would be done in all of Ukraine if it was to surrender.

As long as Ukraine does not surrender, the Russia will keep bombing their cities and many will die.
If it surrenders, there will be much more Ukrainians dying than just that amount.

Not surrendering is a way for them to stay alive.

They know they cannot surrender without getting an extremely strong punishment from the Russia, so they won’t.

Learned today about the band Shaman having a record, called Idja, where all songs are in Sámi language!

Nice music. I could not directly find it on Tidal, but when I looked for all songs with Jonne Järvelä mentioned in the credits, Tidal did show it!

All you need is to have the IP addresses. If you can extract them, then the rest can be done by saying whois ip.ad.re.ss (where you put some numbers between 0 and 255 instead of ip, ad, re and ss.)

Ok, that’s a shocking thing to hear indeed!
