Perhaps it is a natural cycle, but that doesn't mean we have to stop fighting it.

I don't think the rich Grand Duchy would be terribly interested in acquiring the empoverished Belgian province.

15GB EU roaming? I thought the EU got rid of that nonsense?

Yes they still do. You can arrive in Paris North in a fancy Thalys or Eurostar, but will then have to somehow get to Paris Lyon or South using weird subway like trains which are often packed, dirty, smelly and confusingly inefficient unless

In case anyone was getting their hopes up: food on ICE trains is about as bad as airline food. You've been warned.

Are you saying net neutrality is a bad thing? Why so?

Significant whitespace and case- and underscore insensitivity. That's pushing too many of my buttons for one language. That being said, this is a very well written tutorial. Might be a nice format to use in other basic language tutoria

You're probably right, but doesn't the owner of the phone share some responsibility?

Who would be the guilty party here? If your phone is spying on me, I'll likely get angry with you. The fact that you're a victim of the football league isn't my problem, you're the one doing the spying.

Poverty is such a difficult and insidious issue. Once you're poor, it's very hard to get out of poverty. Being poor is very expensive for society as a whole, given that poverty correlates strongly with all kinds of other negative

Why would I want my browser to do this? My browser should use the DNS configured by my OS -- in my case, a local, caching resolving NS. If I want to use some kind of DNS-over-HTTP I'll tell my OS to do it. I don't want my browser

Somewhat off topic, but this post seems to have a bunch of apnea experts in it, so here goes: what are the long term effects of relying on CPAP? As I understand it, the airway partially closes because muscles relax in your sleep. Doesn&#x27

This keeps coming up and people keep saying that's the way it is, but Belgium's biggest newspapers just GDPR-walled their websites. You can't read the paper unless you agree to data gathering, cookie setting and tailored adve

I know plenty of people who block all of China, simply to be rid of its many botnes which run rampant and are hosted by network administrators who don't respond to abuse requests. I guess Europeans can now experience how it feels to ha

For all intents and purposes, when someone says cal they mean kcal. A single actual cal is so ridiculously small it might as well be irrelevant.

These were sadly pretty common in the UK for a while, at the height of the ASBO-plague. I believe they're called 'mosquitos'.

Remote (yes, no, how often). Salary. Over here in .be, it's very difficult to compare salaries. When posted at all, it's usually a single monthly number before tax. It's impossible to compare that with other postings, because

I still don't see why not. Maybe it's what GDPR says, but it's wrong and I can't see this being enforced. If data collection is the "payment" for using the "service", you have two choices: you don&#x2

Been wondering about this for a while now, maybe someone in this thread can shed some light on this? What about processing httpd access logs to count visitors? Most tools use IP addresses to count unique visitors. Does that mean this now qu

So another datapoint indicating that caloric restriction might be a good idea, with a plausible sounding mechanism of action.

While reading the title, I was briefly hoping this would be about the webcomic A Softer World. They bundled their best comics in a book titled The Anatomy of Melancholy.

You're making the incorrect assumption - deliberately, I presume - that the people writing the legislation have anything to do with how the website operates. You're wrong, of course. The EU(P) is a very large and very complex orga

I can't remember where I read it, but I recently read something along the lines of: "no posture is perfect; the body is not a static entity, we are constantly moving and adjusting to our environment". Moving a lot and in diff

This part of the article struck me as strange: > You can reduce your blood viscosity by donating blood on a regular basis, which eliminates the iron that may possibly oxidize in your blood. The whole reason why blood is red, why red bloo

"Knallen" in Dutch can refer to exploding sounds, or it can mean "going really hard/fast", so I had a similar reaction to yours. Languages are a never ending source of interesting tidbits like this.

I wonder whether the headline applies to adults as well.

The Thalys has security theatre with luggage x-ray in several locations, including Paris and Antwerp. It's currently not active 24/7, but it will be soon.

What? Why? Those would be annoying for pedestrians, people in wheelchairs or parents with prams. Cyclists in the pedestrian tunnel should simply behave, period. It's not hard. If they're in a rush they can always take the ferry.

Cycling down the tunnel is not allowed, unless <5km/h. It's incredibly annoying to be overtaken by cyclists in such a narrow space. In fact, anyone doing this should probably try cycling next to a moving train for comparison.
