I learnt German in Germany, and I understand the Swiss. When you are waiting 4h to cross the gottard tunnel, you have plenty of time to listen to the radio. It is hard to understand just like any dialect when you are not used to it, but I w

It is a dialect, written form is German. It is like hearing French spoken in sub Saharan Africa, it is hard to grasp but eventually you get it

So in Scotland they speak Scottish-English? Irish-english in Ireland? What's your proficiency in these languages ?

Caps are much easier to handle in database. All customers family names are stored in caps at my company (in France). It really avoids confusion when you call them

And half off the websites incorrectly treating é or è encoding, forcing you to omit these when writing your name. It is incredible how badly foreign languages are supported

So much this, try in Germany, you will eventually get ghosted if you don't make the effort of learning German.

Why does OP need to provide a source? Why you don't look for the info yourself? It is common knowledge in Europe that Germany shut down its nuclear plant (15/04/23 the last one), and they compensated with a lot of coal this w

I stopped using plastic bottle because it tends to accumulate biological matter or whatever, and a smell / bad taste builds up over time. I switched to stainless steel and couldn't be happier. Decathlon stores in europe sell very

there are societies without alcohol, in fact about 2 billions people are not drinking at all, what is better?

And what about the family? Children?

by Glawen 3y ago
that's a common issue in high power applications, be it in a factory or a train. You need to add special breaker which allow a long current peak and switch on loads in a sequence

Let's say it is interesting to hear their advice as they have more life experience. I would however not follow everything said as the context has probably changed, but I try to take out the useful information I could reuse

Wise advice, listen to this :) Reminds me of a colleague in her 20s giving advices on how to raise children, without having on her own. I promptly put her on my ignore list. Parenting advices are the worst type, I never listen to them. Each

If the code is tied to a physical process, this will likely not change. What changes is the sensor, it's transfer curve or the mean to communicate the reading, but how to treat the value does not change so much over time.

it's not necessary to have the product last 30 years. E.g. in car industry, tons of code is carried over in new products. If it works and does the job, why change it?

Indeed, when you are married, you're the father. Abortion is the women's decision only. The father used to have 14 days off when his baby was born, now it is 1 month, but it is still not as long as the mother's leave (very fa

is there a similar service in NL or Europe? NTSHA is really an institution that's lacking in the EU, the recalls and safety bulletin are a feature I would like to see in the EU.

Does it mean that their aim is France without internal combustion vehicle? That's already the EU goal, it is a bit later than their schedule but that is the target. What's their take with nuclear energy?

by Glawen 3y ago
That is something in old European aristocratic families indeed, that's very far from my peasant's life. I'm just wondering what's the point of staying married then?

When I ask younger people why they don't want children, many answer me that they don't want to raise children in a world doomed due to global warming. It is not exactly the same argument, but the idea that children are bad for the

>what options do we have unless we want millions displaced or dead? If the tipping point is as close as they claim, then that's the only logical thing that will happen. The way I see it is that the world will fight for the remaining

I just don't understand how people can say that we can end fossil fuel consumption. Do they think it is a moonshot or do they really mean it? Did they really researched what it means? Don't they realise that everything in our worl

It's true that people are less and less ok being confrontational. I don't mind having a spat, but it is becoming increasingly rarer

In France they passed a law obliging business with parking lot to build solar panels on them. I'm happy to see more and more parking lot equipped with solar panels, I can finally have my car in the shade while I shop, and soon it will

by Glawen 3y ago
I always sigh when I see a solar farm. We should be putting solar panels firstly on man made space like parking lot or buildings. It will not disrupt nature anymore or take productive arable land.

This, simply. Be there, be reliable, do something with them, make them discover things. I feel that people take it as huge endeavour to raise a child. It is a big task indeed, but there is no need to go over the top.

That's exactly my issue. Thanks to the previous fellow, I now know the rule and will remember it.
