In 1950, Italy had 17 children under the age of ten for every person over the age of 80.

Today that ratio is approaching 1 to 1.

Here’s a video from Rome in the 60s. We are moving towards a totally different world, where the old outnumber the young.

I never want to hear about life being better in Italy, Spain, or France ever again.

These kids have no future. It’s a tragedy, honestly.

I just hope we don’t repeat the same mistakes.

another really curious case for me is Niels Bohr.

The motto of the House of Savoy (former ruling dynasty of Italy) is FERT, which is an acronym, but no one knows what for. It's so awesome that they continued using it after its meaning was lost to history: "we live and die by the ancient motto of our House... whatever it may be."

Lmfao it is the official government policy of Italy to give out €1400 to 4,000 old people per year for "the use of summer stays in Italian seaside, mountain, spa or cultural locations"

This is the type of policy that you get when your country's median age is 47.7

Spaniards have been yelling about this for decades. Italy oil industry consists of rebottling Spanish oil with a price markup.

@sigfig Nope, most e/acc accounts tweet 4x an hour. Zero chance any work is getting done.

I had to jump on this thread so here's a guy that gets progressively more Italian (1/2)

@pepijndevos Congrats, I have no idea where one would even start with that. And I'm sure at every step of the mortgage supply chain there's someone who does this all day and basically rips you off for a living. And the bloody interest.. Have rates skyrocketed in .nl as well?

I love the @wavedrom plugin for VisualCode. It's so nice to be able to do timing diagrams right there and not have to use a standalone app or online service.

welcome to the united states, where you quite literally can't make an appointment with your doctor without agreeing to have your medical data sold to advertisers.

Which Gerber viewer (CAM tool) do you use for visual inspection before you send the manufacturing files to your PCB fabricator?

Personally, the most I use ViewMate and DFM Now! (free version of FAB3000) for reviewing Gerber layers, NC drills, and ODB++ data sets.

Maybe once a year or so, but sometimes I do have to agree with pg.

In a few years, the majority of this type of academic paper will be generated by AI. It makes sense, in a way, that papers read by nobody should also be written by nobody.
