More like an automatic green pass looking at the historical treatment of some criminals with such background.

More like a good bunch of the hippies were in it just to have a good time. And then happily built the system we know.

Latin was the language for education and science waaaay beyond ex Roman Empire. Pretty much whole christian europe used Latin in medieval age and beyond.

Vast majority of people against it seem to be against the principle, not against the implementation.

IMO it's conflict of interest of some short-sighted naive idealists vs people who want to get stuff done. For example, solar. Shit ton of euromoneys is poured into subsidies. But t…

Frequently it is exactly the same item from aliexpress or from local reseller. Depends for different types of course.

Meanwhile local solar industry is loosing to Chinese at fast pace. Batteries industry ain’t looking good either.

EU became a thing in 1993. And soon after Europe could not keep up with US of A anymore. Even though USSR was gone, EU expanded and so on. Coincidence?

Is it? The green deal stuff seems to be pretty bad. Manufacturing seems to have a hard time. The next tier economy, e.g. AI, is not seen on the horizon. Over-the-top regulations fo…

Market has already did the thing. In this case it's protecting local retailers who import in bulk over consumers importing individually.

In my whereabouts tick-born encephalitis is a much bigger issue. But thankfully vaccine for it exists.

Nope. This is key paragraph from the link: > The effects of vaccination on human behaviour presented yet another important uncertainty. Lyme vaccination, although it provides incom…

Even for the specific strain, it's not long-lived and strong enough.

Encephalitis is much more rare, but it's much worse than lyme. And there's a stab for it. Meanwhile Lyme is much more common, but much simplier to treat. Which is basically „take a…

In my whereabouts ticks were common 70+ years ago too. But nobody seemed to give a damn about them since disease-carrying ticks were not a problem. Talking to my grandma, it was co…

IIRC there's no immunity. Or at least it's gone after some time.

Ticks are a problem regardless. And they don’t like too much heat. So climate warming may even reduce their population in some parts. Or, more likely, move them up north. Giving re…

Paris looked different 200 years ago. The most of rebuilt happened about 170 years ago. And people are in love with Montmartre which survived the rebuild ended up vastly older than…

Where do you draw a line? 100 years? 200? 500? Especially if buildings age nicely and they’re still considered good-looking. I’m in Europe and here if people suggested to tear down…

The rest of the world already has quite a few restrictions.

It depends on one’s whereabouts and kind of exercise. Exercising in a gym or outside with all your skin covered won’t make much vitamin D.

There's a massive difference between high-skill and low-skill immigration. Generalising both together is like measuring the average body temperature in a hospital.

Maybe some of „good“ parties should start playing this democracy game and address some worries of the people? Mainstream parties are destroying democracy by ignoring the voters. Or…

How come? Mainstream parties are openly ignoring one of the main concerns of a big block of voters. Then some parties start catering for that concern. That’s pure democracy feedbac…
