I don't understand this putting the blame on the EMU. The demise of Nokia has nothing to do with it. Finland getting de-industrialized also has nothing do do with it, but with the openness of the European market which brought us incred

At both my European countries you can request an official document confirming your unmarried status at the city hall, and more recently, online. Obviously, all the bureaucracies that require such a document also have a mechanism to issue it

I was forced to switch to DBeaver as HeidiSQL isn't allowed at my current employer. I miss how light Heidi is, but I'm not sure I'd switch back now I'm used to all the features DBeaver has.

Handy for Boeing executives maybe, but the reputation damage is probably here to stay.

I feel you, the imagery for my home town of Belgrade is from 2014. The city's changed a lot in the past 10 years, but you can't see it on Street View. On the other hand, Google Maps does make use of the public transport API, which

> privileges given to women Privileges, you mean rights? The same rights that men already have? Even in the most progressive parts of the world we are still far from equality. "given", given by whom?

It's a sort of a myth that Brexit polling got it wrong [1]. There was a visible surge for Leave just before the referendum, and the result did not surprise me. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_fo

Why would it be ridiculous, if a truck has a Bulgarian license plate it's a reasonable expectation that it's based in Bulgaria.

Ask that question even within Italy or Finland and you're probably going to get different answers. However, ask an Italian or a Finn about an attitude towards consumers rights, and you're likely to end up with a similar answer.

How is it different from other eras? Take for example all the different prophets who had literally millions of people scammed since the dawn of history.

Yeah, but we were taking about the Dutch tax system, that applies to the income made in the Netherlands.

It's not a good example as almost no-one has a salary that high. For software engineers you're looking at say 90-100K as an average maximum, with vast majority earning less than that. Edit to cover your edit: it's certainly n

> The highest Dutch tax bracket is 50%, but that only applies to income over 75K EUR To make it even clearer, it only applies to the part of income that is over 75K. So if you are earning 76K, the highest tax bracket only applies to that

The discrimination in Europe works slightly differently than in the US, as having a native sounding name is just as, or even more, important than having a "right" skin color. So to be certain you'll avoid discrimination, you&

That's not what they did. In the US, if you're a leftist, you'd almost certainly be a Democrat, that being one of only two choices. You are saying that not all Democrats are leftists, that is true of course. But almost every

Different iterations of the Serbian state have been Orthodox since the 12th century. The entire Orthodox part of the Balkans is in that range as well.

There is an extremely nationalist and warmongering rethoric coming from official Belgrade for decades now. I don't see how foreign capitals have anything to do with that.

We had the same problem, and in the end failed. The pronunciation of E, R and I, even though similar to my ears, turns out to be quite different to the native speakers of both languages.

You would build a pontoon bridge with that attitude - that's a floating type of a temporary bridge that gets built when it's very important to quickly be able to cross a body of water.

What a horrible comment, if by "intelligentsia" you mean smart and/or educated people who contribute to the community. Those were the first to either be killed or exiled by such regimes.
