Ah, so these spiders look like ants to fool the aphids that ants farm. Similar to how something that looked a lot like a human might fool cows and sheep into following them away to be eaten.

My preference would be "pitter pattering" which isn't as close to the original but fits better with the updated theme. But I think it was a good start anyway.

They aren't removing features. They're stripping them from the community version and leaving them in the "enterprise" edition. Sounds like classic enshittification.

It will allow their bosses to dock their pay if they aren't stressed enough. Touted as something like "leverage stress resource optimization" or whatever.

Have you looked at the Piaggio MP3? I recall that it had a much higher than normal carrying capacity, at least on the higher displacement versions.

We do need electricians here in Portugal, but I thought the challenge was with getting licensed. All the non-Portuguese electricians I know here work under the table.

That said, if op cam get a remote programming job that allows them to work from Portugal (or can set up as a consultant and allow themselves to work from Portugal), they might have a way better time getting the D8 visa. Pay in Portugal is fairly low, but working for a US company as a remote consultant is (for now) a relatively easy way to meet the D8 income requirements (€3.5k per month income).

Alternately, if you have a moderately sized investment account and a willingness to adjust your investments for that purpose, you can use that for D7.

And as a third alternative, if you can get together enough money for a down payment on a house (or you already own one) you can use rental income for D7 (provided the rent is at least equivalent to €900 per month, regardless of expenses/mortgage).

One thing I will say about moving to Portugal: if you're moving to Lisbon or the Algarve, it will be hard and expensive. If you're moving to anywhere in the interior (or probably anywhere else here) it will be much easier and less expensive. Where I live, housing, utilities, and every other expense category is cheaper than where I lived in the US. (caveat - I drive an electric car. Gas is more expensive here.) That won't be the case in Lisbon or Faro, or even Porto.

This seems comparable to the Evoke Urban Classic, which is a city commuter motorcycle.

As to similar cars, the Dacia Spring is a very popular car in my country that is somewhat similar. It costs more, since it is a car, and it has very slightly longer range. But it has also much slower acceleration. It is also intended as a city commuter.

These are not sports vehicles or for motor enthusiasts.

Nah, it's just 5d chess. You wouldn't get it. Think of those screaming libs.

Cudy m3000 is a WiFi6 mesh option built on openwrt. Not sure how it compares with other options from a performance and openness perspective.

Here in Portugal we have MB Way which is handled on a separate network. I understand that it might interoperate with Bancomat (Italy) and Bizum (Spain) also just since November, but I haven't tried yet. Almost everybody in Portugal (except non-integrating expats) seem to use it, though there are spots here and there that refuse for reasons that are unclear to me.

The United States recently violated article 6 then, given that they don't seem to respect regulations and customs affecting the administration of Greenland.
