On top of my head: * There is something wrong with the child, due to which any semblance happy and fulfilled life will never be possible * The child is a product of an unwanted and traumatic sexual contact * The mother knows she can't

That sounds horribly expensive. I have a 12 panel array here in the Netherlands, and I paid € 3500 for it. There was no biome on my roof that I was aware of.

That is such an unequal relationship. China is not kind to its colonies.

It's not that odd. Producing lithium is horrible for the environment, and places like Bolivia don't care very much if you don't (fully) adhere to environmental laws.

Agree for the generational thing. At my dad's place the TV is always on, at ours only if we're watching something. But if you don't turn your TV on at all, I have to ask - where do you watch Netflix et al? Or you simply don&#

Yes, even without kids and a relationship, it's a large sum. Large enough that he's probably doing really good professionally.

A lot of charities in the Netherlands do the same thing, where you can't just give a one-time donation, but have to subscribe to a monthly contribution. That is horrible enough as it is. But then to unsubscribe, you have to call them (

The new laptop I got from the company had nVidia graphics. After hours of trying, I was still not able to set-up nVidia drivers, and I have ultimately given up. But a lot of small things added up: * full-disk encryption in combination with

> I think it means stop ignoring knowledge coming from formally uneducated people. The problem is that the signal-to-noise ratio there is very low, and it takes a lot of patience and effort to extract the knowledge.

There are still quite some hurdles. The European Comission is set to propose to make it mandatory, but the proposal will only come in December (and has been already postponed a couple of times due to the resistance). Then the European Parli

How is getting a vaccine shot a "medical procedure"? Very technically it is I guess, but come on. So you are happy to accept bodily harm to innocent "others" (from your comment) to protect the power to refuse to get a va

This entire discussion seems to be very US-centric. In the Netherlands, the situation is exactly like you describe how it'd look like if the proposition in the title were correct. Possibly because Dutch companies simply refuse to incre

How many people in Belgium used an eID, or thought it's a good idea, in the first year? Were there privacy concerns, etc? I assume people were asking the same things as you are now. In the Netherlands you can change your address in eve
