That’s a different story. This one is about that time Russia/USSR paid pepsi with old military equipment to get around sanctions. I think they couldn’t actually receive it because they’re not allowed to have that but it’s a funny story regardless. I think someone already posted the link

Ads etched into glasses. Maybe tiny screens if that’s possible.

There’s waging war and then there’s firebombing a city with little military value, murdering 25000 civilians.

I read this morning that return dislike no longer works, apparently YouTube changed something in the backend. Might want to verify that and potentially remove it from the list for now

It is avoidable overall but it always requires an effort on my part which is the wrong way around imo.

Ultimately my stance on it is that it’s annoying but there’s only so much we can reasonably do about it. I don’t expect dB or the police to patrol train stations to make sure nobody is smoking. It’s largely avoidable and if people want to kill themselves then they’re free to do that. We have much bigger problems to focus on, like the one you mentioned: cars. (And maybe if more people used the train instead of cars there’d be more of an incentive make sure most of your customers aren’t being bothered by a minority)

Not everyone can buy a gun, to get the paperwork you need to meet a somewhat arbitrary age requirement and you have to be “mentally stable”. So we are discriminating against mentally handicapped people. It makes sense, I don’t even disagree with it, just saying that it’s the same logic as op’s.

Okay, maybe a better example: if you’re interested in becoming president you have to be at least 40. Sounds like age discrimination to me :P

I don’t smoke so I’m not super invested in this either. However, I travel a lot by train and besides the trains always being late what annoys me most are smokers. Smoking is already banned at all train stations and bus stops but the first thing some people do when exiting a train is lighting a cigarette. In the middle of a crowd. Imo the only way to stop them from doing that in crowds is by banning smoking completely & this law is a good way to do that, but it would have to be an EU-wide measure imo. Otherwise it’s too easy to just drive to a neighbouring country and buy a pack of cigarettes.

Calling it discrimination is quite a stretch. By that logic our gun laws are discrimination, too and why can’t I buy enriched uranium in stores? I’m being discriminated against!!! Muh pearls! Some laws exist to protect people from themselves and I would welcome a law like this in Germany. Cigarettes and vapes don’t do anything that you can’t do in other ways, without harming others. Except maybe get you more breaks at work :P

Is it coated with anything? If it’s just bare metal then scrub it with steel wool and some water, any burns & stains should come off without much effort.

If it’s coated then I’d try to soak it in soapy water over night and then gently scrub. Keep in mind that anything you put on there you’re probably going to eat with your next few meals so before you use any aggressive chemicals just buy a new tray.

Isn’t there like 6-7 parking spots for every car in the us? Taking up 4 seems fine then 🤷‍♂️
