Yes and "linked" is a weasel word to imply something without making a definite statement for which there's no proof.

She's not mythical. She's a female psychopath and that characteristic is fascinating for many people.

French people should be occupied by Guyanans who have no historic connection to France. Apparently that makes sense to some people when it's the other way around.

It's not France. The locals like that France gives them goodies so they vote for more goodies and France gives more goodies so they vote accordingly.

French Guyana is occupied territory. That's pretty clear. And so it should be deoccupied and the locals will decide whether to use their land as "sovereign' launch port by Europeans.

The article is shining a light on a serious, potentially devastating situation in Europe. You, due to ignorance or misunderstanding, point out that Americans are supposedly stupid because millions of dollars are roughly millions of euros. B

Imagine if the watch made a loud gurgling sound, that everyone can hear, every time you checked it.

Canadians don't negotiate when selling their oil? US just sets the price? Amazing.

It follows then that the USA also wants to protect its industries, such as timber, oil and gas, and maple syrup, from Canadian producers that are happy to dump their stuff south of the border for cheaper than US competition.

It's amazing how much is attributed to culture. What if I like more salt? European are not accustomed to ask for salt. What if the chef forgot to add salt? You'll wait till your food is cold. It's culture.

My last trip I gave a $10 tip to a waiter in a Spanish restaurant. I apologized that I didn't have euros. The guy smiled broadly and thanked me. If tip "culture" didn't exist in Europe, he would have thought of me as ina

In America, waiting for staff to serve you is considered time lost. In Europe it's called European culture.

The waiter comes by about twice in a visit, asks you "Is there anything you need?". You say "No thanks". And you get upset by that. And then you complain about Americans and their terrible ways. What sense does that make

No. After you've ordered, it is rare to order anything else. You might ask for a refill of a beverage or something like ketchup, but the waiter is not expecting more ordering. It's simply expected by diners that their waiter is t

"First, they selected 20 rich-world cities with a population of at least 2.5m"... What about people that live outside the big cities? Almost everyone I know does.

Here in Michigan there are large industrial facilities that most locals have no idea what is done inside. There's noise, electric usage, trucks coming in and out, but most people think it's ok. Data centers are seen differently.

It's effectively xenophobic to comment such as you did about "Americans" without addressing the points by the author, which deal with real, structural issues.

Moreover, because the warming is global and the whole world needs to be part of the solution, we need all the governments of the world to agree to some universal plan of action. This is governments that have trouble agreeing on most things

You also turned off nuclear power and stayed with lignite, the dirtiest of coals. Soon you'll stop using coal since you won't have much industry left to power. Germany seems confused.

by yostrovs 2mo ago
It would be one thing if Europe immediately stopped using coal, drastically reduced airline usage, quit building gasoline cars, but if anything it is only marginally better than the US. Europe mostly shifted their dirty work to Asia and Nor

I live in an area with mostly a grid road pattern. It's very quiet, mostly the sounds of nature. But about a mile away from my house there's a very nice road with great curves and few intersections. Every weekend the guys with the

From Wikipedia: "Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the 5th to late 15th centuries" The Huguenots really became a thing at the end of 15th century. They were named after Besançon Hugues (1487 – 1532).

There are a bunch of CarPlay devices on Amazon, for example, with all kinds of screens, designed for Tesla and other cars that don't support it, that cost about $200 for a nice one. Why not just buy one of those and who cares if it&#x2

There's no insulin that is 100 years old that diabetics use. The insulin used is of many types and all these types have been developed over the 100 years you seem to ignore, and new ones are still being developed. You can now buy inhal

Many cars do this. Typically they point the mirrors in and down when the car is set into reverse, so you can see the curb.

Here in Michigan, people are all for auto factories, but the polluting, energy intensive, and job taking data centers are a big no no. They use electricity, they look ugly, and they use water. Can't have that.

The person should also work for minimum wage, since that is a sign that the welfare of the community is more important than the employee's own. Perhaps weekly self immolation sessions would take that up a notch? What about divesting on
