Out of my head: Poland, Checkia, Cyprus, Portugal, Romania -- all these have real presidents. Germany and Italy are exceptions, not the rule

by BrandoElFollito 3mo ago
No because we know that we have (in France) a president, a prime minister and ministers. We know what they are in charge of (for the basic ministries), everyone knows who the president is, a lot who the PM is, and nobody knows the current m

It's not. The EU for us Europeans is a vague institution, very far from our everyday lives.

It is a great analogy even for someone from Europe. In (4), though, I do not get the French exception. There are many countries in Europe with a president and a prime minister

"Why do you want to work here" can be insightful. I like to be asked this because I can for one tell the truth, and then see how the interviewer responds (when this is at an advanced stage of the process, with real people)

I don't get the chart with the tropical nights. It is not as if there was a heat dome that is specifically sitting on the cities. It is more because the cities are so bad in heat control that they get tropical night via inertia.

As an ex-physicist, pi^2 is 10. Like g. I get it that this is a nice calculation with the Zeta function and everything, but 3 and a small something squared will be near 10 so it is 10.

The Trump US gave us (Europeans) the kick in the bottom we needed to get the head from the sand. Like never we delibrate specifically on non-US solutions (objectively great) because we realized we are neck deep in US dependence. It is not t

As an ex-Motorolan (1998-2008), I sometimes look at what remains of the big mighty company and there is not much. Here in Europe it is even less, at least in the US you see the umpires (or somebody else, not sure as I fo not know baseball)

I traveled yo the US maybe 50 times, for different reasons (from Europe or Asia). I never felt welcome. The only country I felt the same was Russia, and to some much smaller extent - China.

Journals are scams, sustained by scientists. All this paid by our taxes. Scientists decided that other scientists will be ranked by coolness (where they publish). And that this is a strict process. Except when the scientist is a celebrity,

Birth in humans is not a "extremely biologically conserved process". Women bodies are not ready for the size of head of the baby. Compare this to cows or horses - where the baby is of sizeable size, but goes statistically smoothly

This is not the case in Europe. You would not gain anything by being a doctor from the US vs the local ones. You may even be in a worse position due to many differences between the US and the host country.

It's a good idea to ask a few AIs to get extra feedback. They may be wrong, your doctor may be wrong -- it is better to have a set of inputs and, to some point, check it against sources.
