We steigern it.

Don’t even know what’s it supposed to be

Duuumb ways to die 🎶

Also, notice the slight curvature of the vertical lines to the right? It implies the fact that even new circumstances can, in retrospect, feel like they’ve always been there. It’s the lovely little details that make this piece so valuable.

The EU started to heavily regulate some PFAS in 2010, others following on the heels. The regulations include a heavy focus on handling and waste management in order to minimize the potential of exposure and contamination. The plan to get rid of PFAS entirely has been around ever since. So yeah, they’ve known it’s horrible.

Not like they wouldn’t learn anyways. Learning to lie is an important part in development.

Wait a minute… Does the name of the currency come from payments that were not counted but weighed? Gotta check.

ETA: Oh my gosh yes, one pound sterling (currency) was originally one pound (weight) of sterling silver. I’m probably the last person to discover this, but still that’s pretty cool.

Also I feel like the French really appreciate it if you try. Or at least hate you a little less. In my experience, after showing off my best (still bad) bonjours and mercis all of the people I talked to turned a lot friendlier and were even willing to speak a little English.

I think their point is that it’s not a flag or something, which would obviously be political, but just a scarf. So they mean “Oh wow we’re not allowed to wear scarves anymore?”. Which is still a bit silly, as the political intention seems pretty apparent in this specific case.

I remember 20 years ago my parents had this tray in their fridge. Haven’t seen that ever since.

Can only speak for training in Germany, but I assume Sweden is somewhat similar: During training students spend several months in police stations helping with the real work, similar to an internship. They have contacts to fully trained colleagues and also access to some internal software, which is less relevant as most of the (for them) accessible info there is public anyways, but on really rare occasions something interesting might drop accidentally.

TIL Andrew Tate is an entirely different person than I thought. Not personality-wise, I just think I confused his face this a different person’s.

Thanks for sharing, I probably wouldn’t have heard about that otherwise.

The (over)simplified reason: Students have no lobby. They pay no taxes and generally create no public or monetary values while going to school. Investing in them might be a really good idea for the wider future, but a legislature is only so long and noone wants to invest a fortune only to get nothing back. Later when the students grow up, they forget the struggle or even romanticize it. Then it’s “today’s kids” that just seem lazy and demanding. So the people that used to go to school have no intention of changing the system either. Of course there are exceptions. That’s probably the only reason things are changing at all. It’s happening, just way too slow.

Also, this commenter escalated “not pushing rates” to “preventing” pretty quickly. Noone is keeping you from getting children, mate. It’s a personal choice that should neither be prohibited nor rewarded.

Equality means everybody has the same rights and gets the same chances. It’s about the starting point, not what you make out of it. Egality on the other hand is about the outcome. Basically everything would need to be the same. Which is (almost) never the case and hopefully what you’re referring to here.

There’s a difference between equality and egality.

The politicians are trying to take away our steak!!1!

Yeah I hope people ask themselves more frequently: “Do I really need to take out my phone now? Is it really that important?”, and rather look at the birds, talk to people, just enjoy life.

This is so sad. We need a better plan to implement these goals, keeping things as easy and profitable as possible, not abandon them altogether. Now I fear we’re at another point of just doing nothing, making matters worse each year for everyone, especially farmers.
