Elevation, distance to the equator, and seasons will influence the current UV index in your area, which will determine 'time to burn' the most. The amount of melanin in the skin, and potentially even your antioxidant load can also factor into how quickly you'll burn.
(Anecdotally, I seemed to burn less quickly when sunbathing for Vitamin D if I took 1000mg of Vitamin C before doing so, based on using a timer. But that could've been influenced by a number of unaccounted factors, and would require a proper double blind study to verify).
EDIT: interestingly, there does seem to be some preliminary evidence that ingesting anti-oxidants does, in fact, have an effect on sunburn.

Oh, uhh... How to write a check.
Linux Mint is technically an Irish based distro, as well.
Consolidation sometimes happens, but sometimes doesn't for certain reasons, such as a community being abandoned, or different visions for a similar topic.
Personally I would recommend picking the most popular community or the one that seems to appeal to you the most, and only posting in that one, while staying subscribed to the others (if they are active) to keep abreast of that content and be able to participate in the comments if you desire.
In addition to unionizing, I'd highly recommend getting involved in local mutual aid groups as well.
It doesn't have servers with a bunch of channels unfortunately, only group chats :(
I came back to this thread and saw other responses about a previous post you made about this place, and I just want to also chime in and also say this ozone generator would not be viable for that situation where there will be so many untreated rooms of other tenets. I would recommend not going back.

This was an eerie one to watch due to how accurately it depicts our future over 60 years ago, if for a different reason.
Directed by Val Guest, this is a classic grounded hard sci-fi, like something you'd read out of an Analog Magazine of the era. The dialog is surprisingly snappy and well written, and the special effects are quite well done, if used sparingly. The acting is pretty damn solid as well. It's filmed in a fairly unique style in the way it flows, and while a slow burn with little action, I found the writing and concept compelling.
The story centers around a down-and-out British journalist for the Daily Express, Peter Stenning. Struggling to finish a story and constantly being bailed out by his friend, a new lead on strange happenings by the US and USSR sets him on the path to be able to write the story of a lifetime, certainly front page material, at least.
This was a labor of love by the director, who had to beg and plead to multiple studios before one finally gave him a modest budget to get it made, and I think he did a pretty fantastic job. Rotten Tomatoes seems to agree, as it received a rating of 86% there.
This film covers a pretty broad set of themes, including:
- News Media
- Social Class
- Gender Politics (for the 60's, anyway)
- And a couple other things that would spoil the story :)
If that sounds interesting, I highly recommend it. I came away from it being pretty darn satisfied and impressed.

Not necessarily. There have been some successful non-violent revolutions in history, and there's a strong case to be made that not exhausting those options could be a huge mistake.
We still have, right now, completely un-used tools at our disposal, such as unionizing en masse and deploying a general strike, which is insanely powerful (capable of bringing a nation to its knees if done widely enough), while being far less dangerous and more appealing to the general populace than any other means.
