I live in SE Europe, 800k city, part of EU. This notion that public transport is well developed over here applies only to more developed parts of the continent. I am in Croatia and trains are... a joke to say the least. In a 800k city we do

I am just wishing for a day when someone will say to me "Earth is 6000 years old" with a straight face. I'll cherish that day forever in my mind.

I have used PayPal once or twice some 15 years ago when I bought some stuff on eBay, but never since, I never had any need afterwards. I didn't quite understand it back then, I was rather young. Nowadays I buy from web shops when I nee

It's because no one is enforcing these rules. I've driven drunk and ran red lights and sped until I got nailed for each of these. I still cut in line (or whatever the term is for cars) when I can because in 20 years of urban drivi

I did a lot of job hopping and can tell you all projects are a mess. So for me it's all about the money. And having a hobby project where I can have fun.

These people are determined by their geography, history, internal tribal politics, external forces and religion. There is only so much an outsider can do. Best to just let them play out their destiny and keep an eye out so no new rogue play

I worked for a Slovenian company for 6 years. I am from a neighbouring country with a somewhat similar language, but never moved to Slovenia. I was an outsourced member, let's say. After about 3 years I realized I can write one hell of

Last several replies you gave are such high quality. I hate it when people overintellectualize such obvious things like having a kid. I would have flipped out at the other poster, but you stuck in there and gave some really good points. Awe

Oh UK did it 80 years ago? Well then Ivan, come right in. And bring everybody who is war-averse with you, we wouldn't want any harm coming upon them, would we? Feel free to organize yourself any way you see fit and if you don't li
