Because all of europe is in the same or worse place? No matter how much remainers want to blame brexit for everything, it isnt’t always the case. Central europe is around or a few points less than the um while easter and western europe are higher

That's ok, but UK literally ran out of tomatoes, eggs and many other items


Central Europe: eggs price skyrocketed earlier this year (= supply shortage, aka “ran out”, due to bird flu prevention orders). Medical supplies shortage and running out of some medicines completely.


and in denmark the news cycle has just included how all pharmacies are sold out of certain types of diabetes drugs... which is worse?


Well depends, do you want to get the mob boss on ‘hate/prohibited’ speech or for ordering a Hit?

He could just go ‘i really don’t like this guy’ and that would be understood at ‘kill him’ without him saying. Would that be ok or you still would want to prosecute him?


Problem is sef has been extinguesh (but not really) a few years ago due to an high profile case with them beating to death a ukranian man. For the ‘left’ in this country it is also considered a racist institution. Problem is, as with all that is done in this country, they announce the end, make no real plans for alternatives, leave the people working there in a limbo, noone gets hired and people leave, but they get more and more work to do with the immigrant influx.

The golden visa wasnt already the big deal since it wa slimited, but the digital nomad visa (over two thousand issued in just a few months) and the open door policy of this government (you dont need even a promis eof work anymore to just come to portugal) overwhelmed the services. And then there is the stupid laws that lawyers and other classes working in behalf of clients have priority in these services


I have an LG tv and have no problems, but not regarding that, Apple uses LG displays on their macbooks and ipads (not sure about the 5k imac). This is probably why you are being downvoted.


And I have LG TV and have problem, so what, lol? "I don't want to believe they can be bad"? Muhaha!

At least try to google first how many people have issues with LG monitors.


That isn't really fair.

You are comparing something that has laws and rules, a dedicated place to 'drive' and have billions of miles driven.

Right now in most places these scooters follow whatever laws they want (if faster in middle of street, it is there, if faster on sidewalk, it is there). People aren't accountable (no driver license, hard to track) and idiots.


Actually, in California at least you -do- need a drivers license to operate the scooters.

(Which was annoying for me as I don’t have one because I always lived in cyclable cities in Europe)


I just wish people who are anti-scooter would interrogate their own opposition and understand its true genesis. It's not road safety. Road injuries are almost exclusively due, in various ways, to cars. So what is it, really, that's bothering them?


Or they don't like that?

I don't take 'vacations' per se. When I travel I like to go with a goal, let it be snowboard for a week or surf for the weekend in a nice spot, or just stay at a 5 star hotel drinking gin and tonic by the pool.

Any kind of city 'vacation' for me is hell. Hate it. Did many before, still hate them. Go see the Mona Lisa or some natural lake? bleh. Boring. Rather be at home drinking gin and tonic in my sofa doing nothing all day.

(to be fair, I lived in many countries, moved house and cities (and countries) pretty much every year. I've seen most of Europe has to offer (and didn't like it) and now nothing is better than just living near the sea. Spending some quality time with local friends and go surf or to the gym.


Just because you have a "goal" of drinking gin at the pool of a 5 star hotel doesn't mean you aren't taking a vacation.

You are just better at traveling than most people.


System Preferences->Keyboard->Modifiers

You can swap Control to Espace there (probably the same place you mapped Caps to Control???)


Why then we don't have this 'epidemic' in Europe where sex on tv isn't seen as a big boogie man. Where you can easily go places where kids will see adults of the opposite sex naked (saunas and gyms).?

I don't understand why you think seeing violence on tv (teen gangs beating a kid for his sneakers or whatever) won't affect your daughter, but seeing a couple have sex (not porn, just an overview of a sexual act) can corrupt her!


Isn't the EU-28 fertility rate only 1.58? That's actually population crash levels. You do, in fact, have a great epidemic of people who are going to die alone.


It's only a crash because we say it is.

What if it's a healthy reaction to bad conditions or overpopulation? Now note the child bearing rates in second degree immigrants (naturalized) to see how true it is. Do you consider that a crash of their population? A crash is when population actually shrinks which it has not to date. It's stabilizing thus far.

The more important crash part is of the ill-conceived social and capital programmes expecting forever exponential growth. Guess what, that's wrong.


But still is the same thing. If Ronaldo, the best player in the world, would be considered a 10x player, it would mean that him and just a goal keeper would be able to compete with other professional teams, which we all know is bullocks.

The original 10x term was about productivity (and namely, lines of code that is pretty much bunk).

For me is always about what is a 1x developer. If we consider them a professional developer that does their tasks (somewhat) on time, documented, and with minimal bugs, which I would consider the baseline for what I would call a professional developer, I have a strong opinion you won't find 10x developers compared to this.

On the other hand, if a 1x developer is a person that can't create a simple algorithm(fizzbuzz), copy pasts code from every possible source, including his own code from file A to file B, etc etc, then sure, 10x developers are there, but this is because we set the bar too low.


I would rather see the police spend 3 months ticketing everyone for littering. They are leaving shit on the sidewalks with no licences to do so.

I would also like to see them ticketing the riders for reckless driving/endangering of the people. I almost had an accident 2 weeks ago because some stupid riders decided to race on the street. I also see some of them riding in the sidewalks zipping through pedestrians and many times hitting their bags.


Agreed. That part bugs me. Cities are effectively subsidizing sidewalk space for these scooters that we paid for with tax revenue (and continue to pay to maintain). Most business that want to capture a parking spot need to pay for that privilege, and scooter companies should have to pay for that as well.

And you’ll see that most scooter riders on sidewalks are going max speed. It has made walking in cities with these things a lot more annoying, and it was already bad enough with cars but at least cars are separated from walkers.
