Yes, there are many Tesla automobiles in Amsterdam. Fortunately, they're greatly outnumbered by the bicycles. ;)

I was hoping the article would discuss the issue of the visibly shifting foundations of many of the houses, which most of us find delightful as spectators but must be terrifying for property owners. It's impressive the houses are still

My girlfriend and I travel, near and far, with scant to no planning. If we don't speak the language, we learn a little first, then more as we go. We keep an open mind and don't shy away from meeting new people. The more we improvi

Yes, it's the same in the U.S. (though much of the beer is less worthy of savoring). But the point stands that "there's no such thing as consuming a small glass of beer as it's not really a beverage you savour" is w

Small (8 oz./235 ml) servings of beer that are very much meant to be savored are very common in bars in the U.S.!

The reported BMJ study does not recommend teetotalers take up drinking; it only suggests moderation for individuals who already consume alcohol. "We observed a relatively small difference in life expectancies across different levels of

While the article says the time at which drilling was stopped was after the breakup, it gives the reason as the high temperatures encountered. "Then it was the turn of the Kola Superdeep Borehole. Drilling was stopped in 1992, when the

The OP lists two examples of podcasts (not episodes) to open the thread. I think you misunderstood their intention.

That's interesting. Without a doubt, he directs the conversations forcefully. I've never thought of him as rude or interrupting, but now that you point it out it's easy for me to imagine him coming across that way.

Other podcasts come and fall by the wayside, but I'll always look forward to the next episode of In Our Time ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot ). I'm excited to try others listed here that are n

If you're following the SUV ahead of you at a safe distance, why would you need or want to see through its windshield? One of the reasons SUVs and pickup trucks are popular here in America is that they're easy to get in and out of

YMMV. An ING ATM in Romania swallowed my gf's U.S. Santander card a couple months ago. We were told it was because she hadn't set a travel notice.

It's a minor nitpick, but it's more accurate to say the game would create the room configurations on startup (inner walls, doors, enemy players, chests, stair locations, etc.); the castle map for each level was fixed (Beyond Castl

This service sounds exciting. My girlfriend and I like flying in and out of Brussels from the U.S., so we look forward to using it. Last month we took an overnight train from Bucharest (Sinaia) to Budapest. We enjoyed the ride very much, an

In the '70's, Porsche unabashedly made cars that earned the nickname "widowmaker." Now it's bragging that in the near future a driver (user?) will be able to mash their car's throttle mid-corner with total impu

An Amish-owned grocery store I frequent has ceiling fans that run off compressed air. They sound really cool in operation, each one emitting a subtle, "Pop, chk chk chk chk.. Pop, chk chk chk chk.."

No, it lists them a percentage of GDP <i>per capita</i>. Education doesn't scale like infotainment and advertising.

Yeah, but the absolute numbers in that table are misleading. Any society whose budget for education is far outpaced by its budgets for mind-numbing entertainment and propaganda is sure to be full of morons. Rewrite those expenditures as a p

I live in the U.S. and frequently travel internationally. In this capacity, Fi is the best service I've used by far. When I'm in the U.S., my monthly bill is quite inexpensive, too, rarely exceeding $27 (including taxes). No B.S.

A travesty, for sure, but unlikely to tarnish that brewery's reputation given the nationality of the perpetrators. Another serious problem with ordering such beers on tap in the U.S. is that the beer in the line is often flat and stale

Any post-apocalyptic vacation in that area should also include a tour of the dendrochronology lab at the University of Arizona. Also Kartchner Caverns, if you're willing to drive a bit further than the Titan Missile Museum.
