Property taxes are already in place, but they are rather small, and don't apply to primary residences or long term rentals

It's a good opportunity to experience what most people on Earth have to deal with. Please don't take it personally Simon, it's just that your compatriots tend to be the most entitl…

Certainly energy crisis is of political nature, but let's say Germany invested massively in the renewables. It's just not the best source of energy in most places in terms of retur…

You can say one is 1st generation immigrant, and other is 2nd gen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigrant_generations

Well it seems neighboring Austria will fine unvaccinated residents[1], so it's definitely not a wild take. Second, totalitarian !== Nazi. [1] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/article…

That reads like obvious sarcasm, but the follow-up comments by same author made me doubt it.

I'd expect entrepreneur to have a freedom to set own rate and market own brand, for example.

Dairy is almost as bad as beef & lamb in terms of carbon footprint [1][2] - see the charts. It'd make a lot more sense to use chicken or pork. [1] https://ourworldindata.org/food-c…

Bras are often a question of necessity (avoid extra attention to nipples) than a style preference.

I've read quite a few stories where American parents kicked their grown-up child out of the house, so I don't know what to make out of it.

For 2, how often do you see Future Perfect Continuous or just Future Perfect anywhere outside of literary works? I'd put grammar at much lower priority than vocabulary & common phr…

40 hours of flashcards and practice can cover maybe 90% of your typical tourist conversations for many languages. Where are you from? What is your name? What do you do? How much do…

I haven't figured out how I can upload videos to Odysee without buying LBRY (which is also not that trivial). I guess the easiest way is to ask someone to donate me some, but I don…

I didn't even realize you can potentially upload videos on Peertube instance which is not hosted by yourself. I'm totally not surprised this feature is not allowed on most instance…

so it just flattened the code by removing parentheses and braces around `using`? Looks like a really simple transformation.

LBRY is barely decentralized. AFAICT, you can't go and upload videos without either going through verification (and many regions are not allowed) or buying LBRY which are listed on…

Are you just being sarcastic? Just a random result from searching for "bolivia coup": https://theintercept.com/2020/07/23/the-u-s-supported-coup-i...

You may like "location independent", already used for years. However "remote work" or "working remotely" are a lot more common and don't have pajamas connotation.

At least in Europe, Skyscanner has more airlines than Google Flights, which makes the latter kinda useless if it misses the cheapest/shortest flight. That said, at least GF lists R…

There are some comparisons, like https://thebanks.eu/compare-countries-by-tax-rates But a lot of details are missing in them. Countries like Romania, Ukraine and Georgia have singl…

McDonald's probably can be automated enough to do without any burger flippers.

I can't speak for Japan, but in Thailand, Philippines etc. the intent of such girls is to find a long term partner and settle down.

But shouldn't carbon tax equally apply to imported steel? It wouldn't make any sense to only apply it to domestic.

As a tiling WM user, I virtually never drag & drop between windows. And 98% of time I have maximized browser / editor / terminal.

Charlie Shrem (BitInstant) was a bit less lucky, or maybe it was "too early"?
