  • The economy isn't looking that great in Spain right now AFAIK. With high unemployment it could at least be somewhat attractive.

  • 3,400€/month to be part of some special forces doesn't seem like a good deal? Like, sure. It's a good salary. But for joining a war where about a third of the soldiers already are casualties it seems a bit low. At least if you view them as mercenaries. For volunteers I guess that the ideological reasons play a huge part. But why does the company emphasize that they are only called volunteers to avoid legal issues? The whole thing seems quite sketchy.

  • Sure. In my experience a week is absolutely no problem and usually cooked food goes bad in a detectable way (mold or tasting off). Personally I never had a problem but I guess it also depends on the fridge temperature and whether it really was cooked/fried all the way through.

  • I mean, there shouldn't be any salmonella on fried eggs in the first place. And once dead it won't come back just from being stored in the fridge.

  • Well, not for polyethylene if done at high enough temperatures. And I doubt that the fungi will like plastic covered in toxic substances. But maybe there is a price advantage there if you don't need to ship the plastic to a incinerator.

    I didn't read up on it in detail but apparently incineration has some large disadvantages, only about 22% of all plastic waste is incinerated. So fungi could be useful for the remaining 78% so it might be more useful than I expected.

  • What is the application for plastic eating fungi? I thought that burning is the preferred alternative if all you want is to reduce it to CO2. That was you get some energy out of it too.

    Or is it hoped that they will be able to survive in the oceans and/or landfills that contain too many toxic substances to burn directly?

  • I assume you mean casualties? In that case outright deaths would be approximately a third of that.

  • Sure, that's certainly a valid point. But at the very least it shows that they don't expect the sanctions to stop anytime soon. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that a war with Taiwan is coming.

  • Country builds up industry to not rely on opposing country in preparation for war.

    Maybe we should be slightly concerned about that? IMHO it shows that Chinas ambition for Taiwan are quite serious.

  • Not really as isotonic drinks are about having the same proportions of water and electrolytes as your blood.

    Imagine completely evaporating a isotonic drink. Now you've got a pulver left. Obviously, this isn't going to be refreshing (unless you mix it with water again)
