It's been a while but I don't even think that a credit score in Canada is comparable to a credit score in the US. Sure, an Equifax terminal in either country spits out a number in the same range but the formula and calculation are

Agreed it is probably as simple as free speech. I hope that it is useful to some citizens. But for me the real story is why Carlson is the only western journalist who has done it recently. I've seen many interviews with Putin from non

From my cursory analysis, Rosatom has researched, built and exploited a number of newer nuclear technologies. We don't hear much about them because Russia is much like China the subject of abjectly poor knowledge and analysis. In the w

True. I'm just observing all this wishful thinking and imagining the future me reading the headlines in say 12 to 18 months. This stuff is literal gold for contrarians like me.

Excellent. I'm looking forward to the comparisons between US and Chinese samples. As well as the opinions of qualified individuals. It could be quite informative.

Exactly. But I'd also add that China surely performed a fair amount of 'lobbying' (cash in envelopes, disinterested campaign contributions, girls in hotel rooms) to facilitate understanding the benefits of Chinese manufacturi

I understood that the Montreal metro trains used wood breaks and peanut oil. Hard to say if that makes the same mess, but the rubber tires surely leave something. Also, the new rames may use different breaking technology.

My comment was in agreement with the parent. Or do you mean something else by the use of the plural pronoun 'they'?

The Russia-China thing is a super interesting topic. It was always the case that Russia needed a strong industrial power with which it could exchange its resources. Resources too big even for a strong Russian industrial base and for much of

Yes but only for those strong enough! I know some who have trouble handling both at the same time.

It's shocking to me to read that the creation of the modern Hebrew state was bloodless. Search word nakba. :-/

Good point. Can't say how generalized the practice is. Still good to have some tinned food for emergencies where BPA isn't the immediate concern.

Confit de canard. Rarely disappointed. Sure, if you live in a region that raises ducks, you don't need the tin.

Interesting... I watched a reportage on French TV about 3 years ago vaunting the merits of aged sardines in a tin from Portugal.

It is a great machine but the screen resolution was already rubbish when the X220 was introduced. And crucify me if you will but the new ThinkPad keyboard can feel _great_ on the models where it is deep enough (T series mostly). I just miss

True about the political atmosphere in German vs Polish universities. I happen to have had a taste of both. There seemed to be more intellectual freedom in the Polish unis that I visited -- one technical, the other economics. (Just don&#x27

I can't speak for the US since I don't live there although I admit it is a very big market... In wine producing countries in general, and the US is one, one will encounter a lot of 'non tariff barriers to trade' (i.e., a

Yes, but also the rationale of the Anglo-Saxons in general. Idea born in England that is a truly understated root cause of the present conflict. People will stuff their fingers in their ears and swear it isn't true.

I agree with your assessment. I see the extreme polarisation growing elsewhere too. Is there any basis to suggest that it is linked to a growing urban-rural divide? Or something else maybe in the media?

It's a bloody good question. From Nortel to BlackBerry, Canada has great potential that sort of goes pschitte in the end. Not to mention the continuing progress of the gaming or film sectors -- or even quantum computing. Universities

I don't find such views as yours very pragmatic. I am not an ideologue. But I'm also not German so I'll leave the choices to you lot. Whilst mentioning that my only horse in the game is the fact that a healthy and prosperous

No. Not based on that article at least. Maybe you know more about him. A 3 word quote does not proof make. The German authorities are doing in their trousers because of the AfD's meteoric rise. They will do anything so that the average

Awesome that your family has resumed traditional methods with what I imagine to be traditional grape varieties. The subject fascinates me. On a similar note, there are a handful of wine producing countries whose products are very hard to fi

From my point of view, the biggest problem with the AfD is that there is a lot of variability in the political currents that it contains. Most of them are pretty normal and reasonable. Some of them make me a bit uncomfortable. All based on

Nothing wrong with providing an approximate pronunciation of your name with sounds available in the local language. It's reasonable and respectful for the person opposite you to make an effort along those lines. It's unreasonable

I buy simple müesli without added sugar in the cheapest Swiss grocery store. Mix it with some yogourt and fruit. Mostly yogourt and the fruit distracts my mind from the cardboard taste. In fact, I don't pretend that the grains are heal
