“Behold! I’ve brought you a [wo]man.” -Diogenes

For further reading on this agreement it’s called the Bretton Woods agreement if anyone is interested.

The image is overblown comparison but she wasn’t that far left. She cut a lot of government spending and focused hard on fiscal responsibility with the debt brake. She’s pretty much the reason why trains are not on time in Germany.

She also had to moderate the CDU/CSU position to form a coalition with SPD so there’s no way to know if she would have done things differently with a CDU/CSU majority government.

But yeah, the picture implying nazi stuff is pretty far from her policies of pro immigration, inclusive economic growth and generally holding up democratic values.

Eating sugary stuff that sticks in your teeth continuously throughout the day is the worst possible you can do for the teeth.

Binge eating sweets is pretty bad for blood sugar.

So to balance it out eat a third after every meal for max health and enjoyment.

It’s not that far, it looks further on the map due to the map projection. A flight takes 6-7 hours from Ottowa to the UK and with the opening of the Bearing Strait sea lane it’ll become feasible to ship non-perishable goods from Canada to EU and back from both sides of the Canada.

It’s a nice idea but the EU needs to do a treaty reform to do that. There’ll also be a major issue with integrating since Canada is a part of NAFTA and will have to potentially produce labels and hold standards of both. There are probably some regulations that contradict each other somewhere.

I mean, having a kill switch would be pretty weird since it’ll open the jet to cyber warfare. It would probably be it’s weakest defence then.

It’s because of the network effect. If you only know your local language and want to unlock speaking to the rest of the world when learning English gets you pretty far.

A lot of people start learning English because a lot of people speak English. Since now Europe, North America, half of Africa, Middle East, South Asia, Latin America, Oceania speak English to some extent that I know of.

It’s absolutely bonkers how far English has gotten in one generation so learning anything else as a second language is pretty weird.

One blindspot is that the ear is not good at determining whether the sound comes directly in front or back of the head.

6% is from the public sector. Russia is very much forcing the private sector to also produce and forcing them to take loans.

UvdL is not the same as Orban. She is at the very least pro EU when Orban is very much against everything. Orban might end up making the EU multi-tiered system where some countries will federalise more than others.

The decision to kick a country out of the EU needs to be unanimous with the current treaty. In the past it’s not been an option since there’s at least two rogue states that will block such moves since that will make each of them safe.

Currently the EU is withholding EU funding to get concessions out of Orban which kinda works. Only a treaty change will fix this when they turn the unanimous voting into a qualified majority voting.

It’s essentially like trying to change the constitution of a county except currently it’s unanimous voting of the council of countries. Switching to a 75% of countries + 2/3 of parliament would is what the EU is gravitating towards but that will involve more concessions with Hungary.

Honey doesn’t expire but it crystalises giving it a different texture. You’d also have to check in on what happens to decades old honey

This guy is trying to bring back mercantilism.

Does anyone know whether this is actually possible under the current treaty without unanimous approval of all member states? I know it fits with EU values but I’m not sure these matters are an EU competency (i.e. area EU can legislate)

I thought it meant that “Here no questions are stupid” where it implies you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about asking strange or simple questions.

Had a similar model, can confirm

Underrated joke

Short circuit overheating comes to mind

Aliexpress quality control is much better than Stein and Temu. It’s reflected in the price. You have to toe the line or get removed as a seller if the product doesn’t match the description. I’ve bought phones of Aliexpress and a laptop and they all matched the brand and specifications. The laptop did come with a Chinese windows but a Linux install fixed that easily.
