04:49 AM Emil: http://yle.fi/uutiset/3-9607220
04:51 AM Emil: FUCK
04:51 AM Emil: I really hope this does not pass
04:53 AM Emil: but seriously I'd like to see them try to tax my 3e purchases
04:59 AM specing: 3e?
05:00 AM Emil: 3e
05:01 AM specing: 3 euro?
05:01 AM Emil: yes
05:07 AM specing: Emil: luckily for me, the lower limit of my country's customs is 22 eur
05:07 AM Emil: specing: you in Europe?
05:07 AM Emil: That news is about the whole Europe
05:07 AM Emil: we have that same 22e limit currently
05:08 AM Emil: it's the same in all countries
05:08 AM specing: but they are known to slap a processing charge of 4 eur for a packet whose declared price does not match paid price
05:08 AM specing: Emil: idk, I can't read finnish
05:25 AM Emil: specing: but you can use google translate
05:25 AM Emil: specing: they dont do that in Finland iirc
06:10 AM specing: Emil: idk, I've received ~20 packages so far and no bills
06:10 AM specing: guess they have a list of naughty people
06:14 AM akaWolf1 is now known as akaWolf
06:16 AM Snert: specing: how do they actually know how much was paid for the item?
06:17 AM Snert: versus what was claimed.
06:17 AM specing: Snert: they call you to send proof
06:19 AM Emil: specing: the comission is putting forwards a bill
06:19 AM Emil: it's not true yet
06:21 AM specing: bloody bastards :D
06:24 AM specing: all this would do would protect importers
06:24 AM specing: even more
06:24 AM specing: service economy
06:24 AM specing: "I heard you loved middlemen so I'm going to put some more middlemen between your middlemen"
06:25 AM Snert: "getcher fucking nose outta my shit" lol
06:25 AM Snert: but I spose you can't say that to customs guys.
06:28 AM specing: we need china inside EU
06:28 AM specing: only solution
06:28 AM specing: no more middlemen, buy straight from the factory
07:06 AM Emil: hehe
10:54 AM rue_shop3: heh
11:32 AM Emil: I dont think we need China in Yurop
11:32 AM Emil: we just need free trade
11:35 AM Casper: Global free trace, and no custom fees!
11:35 AM Casper: ... that would actually destroy the economy for sure...
11:36 AM Casper: actually, maybe not
11:37 AM Casper: they could just say: all tax must be paid by the sender, for any price
11:38 AM Casper: I have nothing against paying the tax, but the custom fees, that's something I am against, specially because they are soooo slow
11:38 AM Casper: seems like the delay for the canadian customs is now 2-3 month
11:38 AM Emil: What. The. Fuck? :D
11:39 AM Casper: yup, I ordered stuff in early febuary that I tought had a fake canadian tracking number due to the delays
11:39 AM Casper: some is still not here
11:40 AM Casper: those tracking said they came in to the country within a month
11:40 AM Casper: like in the 12-17 febuary
11:41 AM Casper: last tuesday I received a small package
11:41 AM Casper: still missing I think... 3-5
11:42 AM Casper: yup, 5 packages still not here
11:47 AM specing: lol
11:48 AM specing: sign of the importers lobby getting too strong right there
11:49 AM Casper: nope, budjet cut
11:49 AM Casper: so lack of personal
11:49 AM Casper: it is the same persons at the airport that take care of the passenger that take care of the mail
11:49 AM Casper: and since there is some long line at the airport, they don't have time to check the mail
03:49 PM Emil: Dat feel when you finish routing a pcb and run DRC and there's not a single error/warning/note
03:50 PM specing: and then you look at gerbers and notice that there was an error outputting the file before drc
05:26 PM Lambda_Aurigae: or you realize you forgot a part.
05:27 PM Lambda_Aurigae: after the boards shipped from china
05:30 PM theBear: you mean you realise that you remembered not to order that part that your revised and improved final schematics didn't include :)
05:40 PM Emil: theBear: that's not an issue most of the time
05:40 PM Emil: theBear: since parts arrive quickly and often cheaply
05:41 PM theBear: c'mon man, at least try to give a sense there MIGHT be some drama or hiccups involved in the whole process... gotta keep the audience invested
06:08 PM Emil: I can't, my own sanity depends on not dwelling in it too much :D
06:19 PM Lambda_Aurigae: sanity is an illusion
06:58 PM MickyW: Illusion is an illusion. :-)
07:00 PM theBear: my illusions tend to be based on a mostly smoke and mirrors technology platform
07:00 PM MickyW: I've only heard that Adam Sandler said that.
07:01 PM theBear: and sometimes midori and some other weird liquor, nothin' like a shaker of the old illusions to remind yer of the late 90s
07:03 PM MickyW: Had to left it behind me at Narita.
11:58 PM daey_ is now known as daey
