I have the following problem: you can buy a lot of different brands of canned tomatoes.
Indeed I have been trying a few of them to find one I like.
However, there are a lot: very often I recognise a can, but I don't remember if I liked it or not.
This is worsened by the fact that I shop at a few different stores, each with different cans on sale.
I guess I could snap a picture of each of those, print it and place it on the fridge so that I eventually get to remember them, but this solution is not really scalable.
I can keep the pictures in my phone and go through them when I'm shopping, but I'm unsure I can put a label on the picture and I'm not really sure how I'd be able to find them.
I know it appears like a small petty problem, but it is not when you get a can that is disgusting and you have to throw away the food you cooked; to avoid this I always have to buy several cans of different types and I end up with my house filling up with the ones I don't like.

Damn you!

Ok, you convinced me... I guess I'll take a look at your paper.

My apartment is quite humid, thus I decided to buy some mushrooms to grow in here.
I'm hoping the temperatures will be high enough since I have not heating...
Let's see if I get to eat any!

My company internet access blocks youtube, which I need for my job, and not porn websites...
Changed the dns and finally I can follow my youtube courses.
Apparently they don't care which dns server you use.

This year only half the doctoral thesis written in the University of Santiago de Compostela were in English.
42 of these were in Galician, which might make sense considering 44 of these thesis were written by Spanish students working in the fields of arts and humanities, thus they might have written stuff about Galician literature in Galician.

This fact to me highlights the poor aperture of Spanish academics to the outside world and plummets the value of their work.
Some time ago, I was talking with a professor about a possible collaboration and he sent me a PhD thesis of one of his students to give me an overview of what they've been doing. This thesis was in Spanish, I didn't even read it. I believe that if you feel you've done a good work you'll try to share it with other people as much as possible, publishing a thesis in Spanish makes me think you do not value your work enough to make it accessible to other researchers.
I'm disappointed by the Spanish researchers because of this.
Indeed, lots of good researchers are Spanish and I've read plenty of good articles with Spanish authors; however, I believe that this kinds of things lowers the value of their research.

Is there a list of drugs developed completely through public investment and whose patent was still owned by a public institution after production and sale started?
