Perhaps we have different definitions of "aggressive". In my country software engineers can enjoy a tax wedge of 15%, or even 8% if they're lucky enough to have formalities go through. The tradeoff is virtually no state pensi

You're not alone. Several times already I've gotten into internet arguments over this. "But they provide jobs!" is the usual rebuttal. Well, they ain't doin' that any more, are they?

My country has a relatively high incarceration rate for a EU member, but that is in huge part due to previous governments seeing jail as a solution to everything. Currently the prevailing notion is that prison is often just LinkedIn for cri

It's funny how it's never just one thing. In my region of the world a crackdown on street racing started a few years ago. It continued because each night the police stopped someone, there was at least one DUI and suspended license

I picked up soldering around the time lead-free solder started being required in the EU, so imagine my frustration when suddenly stuff stopped unsoldering like it should. Of course a lot of electronics were compliant before 2006, but that p

At times, when my SO is snoring, I just put my overhead headphones, turn on noise cancelling, put some gentle music on and lay on my back until I fall asleep. Not exactly great, but does the job. Using ear plugs in the past caused infection
