Oh I was merely expanding a little on that yes, we are in agreement;) I commented before my first coffee, so my phrasing could've been better.

Well regular soldiers also get hired to do that, the big difference is the employer, as a regular soldier you're employed by the state, as a mercenary by a private entity.

In war they are more or less treated the same under the law, they're counted as regular combatants.

Mercenary business is always at least a little shady, since they often get used for shady stuff.

Oh yeah, if you use them often enough you'll get a feel for how much pressure you can use, I'm comfortable with using a little smack to close them, but I used to work in a cocktail bar, so I have some experience with them.

I don't know if you did that, but for anybody struggling with those:

You're supposed to put them together at an angle, so that the outer wall of the tins forms one straight line from top to bottom. Like this:

Tin tin shaker fixed at an angle

To open it you take them into one hand, hold them on the side where they form the straight line. Then take your other hand and gently smack against the part where the both tins connect with your palm

Here:

Since tin tins are hard to break (though not impossible I can tell from experience) you could also use a hard surface and more force if needed.

If they're still stuck, let some warm water run on where they connect and try again. Although the drink might get watery if you take too much time.

Under "Goals" on the Wikipedia page.

Its goal is to allow consumers to compare the overall nutritional value of food products from the same group (category), including food products from different manufacturers.

But, I agree that it's confusing. The fact that you could miss the point of them even after skimming the Wikipedia shows how flawed their design is by not explaining it in simple terms on the label. And the Wikipedia page is also bad, why is it not mentioned in the first sentence in the introduction part?

I've seen the explanation on tv once or twice but I agree, it's confusing.

Oh yeah it's confusing labeling, I agree.

...that's not how those work.

If a frozen pizza gets a B that means compared to OTHER frozen pizzas it has a higher nutritional value.

It compares similar products for nutritional value, not the overall "healthiness" of all products compared with each other.

So you can compare a salami pizza with a veggie pizza or a cereal bar with cereals, but not a strawberry yogurt with a chocolate bar, because those are not within the same product group.

Yeah if it has a NSFW blur in this community, just assume it's nsfl. I would also rather have a nsfl tag, but it was decided that the[Combat] tag implicates the nsfl part.

Greifswald

Kleiner Kulturtipp am Rande - Das Transit Festival auf der Burg Klempenow so 40min südlich von Greifswald, Mitte Juli.

Bezauberndes kleines alternatives Festival, mit ganz viel Engagement, Offenheit und Herzlichkeit. Musik, Yoga, Diskussionsrunden. Ist auch relativ kinderfreundlich da es nicht so typisch baller/sauf Publikum ist größtenteils :)
