I wonder what other life forms are inside that jar apart from the plant. Is the tiny sealed world a paradise or a hell for them?

The story glosses over the rather essential detail that Romania also banned contraception.

People in persistent vegetative states or even comas are likely to become rarer in such countries, I'd suspect.

Depends on how much local autonomy there is which in turn depends on how much taxation is raised by local government. In some countries local governments are funded from central taxation and are more or less instructed on what they can or c

Estonia seems to be a great country for these sorts of initiatives. Is it because vested interests are less of a thing there? Also being small might help, I suppose, more agile perhaps?

Thermal printers are the ones where the text becomes invisible over time I believe. They should be outlawed as a way of providing anything of record. My credit union gives them as their way of giving you your statement.

I haven't noticed that, quite the opposite is my impression.

Is that not like saying it suffers from groupthink? Because I do feel there's a consensus of opinion among their writers on most topics. You see a greater range of views in the times and the daily telegraph which are owned by wealthy

Yes but they have their own agendas. I think I have seen one comment piece that was from a pro brexit point of view over the last three years. During the Irish abortion referendum run up, it was the same. It was as though the right to have

I don't understand the point you're making. If I was to read the same number of articles in blendle in a month, that I read for my fiver subscription, it would cost a lot more. The model doesn't work for me.

by Doubl 7y ago
I tried it and didn't like the model. Paying per article is just crazy, it makes you feel like you have to watch what you're spending all the time. I'd rather a fixed amount that leads me read as much or as little as I choose

I pay a fiver a month for a newspaper subscription. That feels about the right level to me. It's a lot less than I used to pay for physical newspapers but I tend to gauge the value of things in terms of what Spotify and Netflix cost th

I'm not suggesting you do but if society were ever to do that, I'd imagine that people who were avowedly promiscuous would be viewed as risk takers.

The group that most commonly get mentioned are smokers. The reply smokers give is to mention that they are taxed so heavily for their habit that they are paying their way. It's also mentioned that because they die younger, they effecti

Your argument ignores real politics. In my country we are constantly having questions about why isn't more money available to help children with autism or old people with dementia, etc. At the same time people complain that taxes are t

The tiobe index always seems to be way out of line with the other indices out there. Nobody but tiobe ranks VB.net above c#. Also the other day I read that Lazarus isn't taken into account in terms of assessing the popularity of object

In the late 20th century I almost weekly got an audiobook in tape cassette form from my local public library to listen to in my car. As far as I can remember they cost me nothing. They had a room full of the things, so the selection was eno

How an I apologising for the Nazis? Is it necessary to always preface any remarks in which Nazi Germany and another country may both be referenced with some kind of explanation or risk being called a Nazi apologist? Can we not let the actua

I never said they were equal. I don't know if anyone was punished for doing it though.

Most people go with the flow. I'd imagine that this was true also when it came to the torturing of prisoners by America post 9/11. How many refused to go along with that I wonder? Nazi Germany, like the USA, seems to have been a c
