we have 2 cars and we could get by owning just one. I also don't really need one because I work 40min away out of the city with a train connection. I see it as a freedom, I'm free to go where I want when I want, that's pricel

I ask my young colleagues in their late 20s early 30s why they don't make kids. They say they don't feel like it, they are afraid of the commitment and prefer to have fun. How long is the fun supposed to be is unclear. I had my fu

Is that really all to it? Look at Germany, it's pretty stable if you are a wage earner, especially if you have an engineering diploma. They don't make more kids even though they are safe, and they have generous paternity leave. Th

In Europe, it looks like it is becoming the norm now for young people not to own a car. I'm not sure if it is price or ideology driven. For sure it is becoming harder and harder to own a car in the city, you need to shell a lot of mone

I bought a HL-5250DN for my father 14 years ago, best value for money printer ever. We never had an issue with it, the drum head been replaced once already (25000 pages). I cannot say the same from my HP M476 which has print issues..

you were just leveling with your teammates which were also hard workers. I experienced this in my last job and I'm trying to reproduce it, but I find it difficult to recreate in another environment. It is different than being a super h

So they are complaining that their partner do less than them and want equality on household chores, whatever that means because we are not genetically equal and men will never feel the pain of labour. That is very different than stating tha

Are you really believing that women are happier alone because men don't mop the floor? I married a single mother, I don't mop the floor or cook everyday. My duties are stuff she cannot do like taking care of the house or repairing

cars sold in the UK have headlight and steering wheel on the other side..

the beam facing traffic points down, the one facing the side points up, which is of course an issue when you visit an island who decided to drive on the other side :D

was going to ask this. In France you fail inspection (4 years then every 2 years) if your headlights are misaligned, I guess it's the same the whole of Europe.

Strange you mention Toyota as manufacturer, as they are the one who fucked up with the unintended acceleration issue mentioned earlier. The thing is that they "forgot" to implement the mechanism which ignore gas pedal when both br

Iso26262 is the safety standard (a slimmed down version of industrial standard by the way). misra are the coding rules recommended to apply for these standard. Autosar is an OS definition to make modular SW

Ok it is created by court :/ no way I would have found the us legal term without you. In France it is automatically created, and it lowers value of your land.

When a property is landlocked like this, you should have a right of way through other people land, isn't it the case?

Nothing is stopping you except family/work obligation. But I believe you can take a month off or at least 2 weeks to do a part of the trail, no? I'm also perusing of doing a pilgrimage, not because I'm religious, but because

Engine oil gets a lot of cargo cult on automotive forums. Personally, I never saw an engine die because it missed the schedule by some thousands km. I wait until my car tells me it needs an oil change, and then I wait a bit more :).

During my trip in northern Siberia, while sipping my morning coffee, I saw a guy start up his lada niva by -40 the old fashioned way. He opened the engine bay, put a rug on his engine, took a blowtorch and lit it under the engine. He heated

Not only optional thing. Metro/bus/tramway are nearly free for them. They also have reduced rate for utilities. Granted it is not easy to live with 500€ a month, but you can get by.

What can young people do now that you could not do ? Internet stuff? The way I see it, young people now can do less than when I was young. For example lots of dangerous activities got prohibited (e.g. fireworks) or they added too much regul

I believe these program exist in the sole purpose of reducing criminality, so that the poor don't start thinking of robberies.

RSA is not only the monthly amount paid, the recipients also live in social housings paying next to nothing in rent, heating, healthcare and transportation. A similar thing exists in other country like UK or Germany

Hybrid is the way to go! I do not like full remote because you get out of touch with the teams and office politics. When I'm full on site I cannot get my work done properly. Hybrid mode allows me to manage my schedule better, get shit

When my kids were small, I used to work away 3 days a week. It was my resting days as I could sleep normally and recharge myself. I did not realize it until I spent 7 days a week at home.

What does it mean to be progressive? All the woke movement we see now in Europe has been imported from US. We just copy paste stuff even when it makes no sense because we do not share the same history.

Deutsche Welle mentions a cable fire and turrets not working, which is far from tail light missing. What surprises me most is that it happens during an exercise in Germany, so not in rough weather like Russia or Africa, that does not bode

Indeed, like they are able to produce a diesel engine meeting CARB requirements. Truth is that Germany is riding a lot on its reputation, but fail miserably a lot of times. It doesn't surprise me
