Well, eBay has this. Sellers just put in a fake location. Though these days some actually have a warehouse there.

Many Chinese sellers now actually have warehouses in the EU. So you buy from AliExpress and it's shipped from Poland or even Germany with DHL/Hermes/etc. Which I guess might not help British buyers anymore, but look for "

It's not just about the jobs, there are things to learn in anything you choose and the connections you make can be great. There's always going to be people who complain about it, yeah. A small minority, though.

Lmao, I actually heard this one before and the guy was serious. I give it a few years before your corporate lordship fucks you over and you have no recourse or you simply get bored out of your mind in this perfect city. But don't worry

More supply on limited land. Which will be bought out by the same 5 real estate companies, just like everything else.

People are against the idea because in their minds they won't be able to buy 2-3 homes and rent one or two out. No, this is about companies owning 150,000 apartments in a city that they simply charge ever-increasing rent for. It's

Tbf, gearbox shafts and gears can handle a lot of torque and power for their size.

I was recommended a video by some guy who ate $14000 worth of Wagyu steaks super fast... Guess it had good acting, surely no one in their right mind is that excited to eat 5 kilos of meat with water in 5 minutes or whatever... Just kinda fe

Painted my workshop roof white, temperature drop was noticeable. Needs a repaint though, after 6 years it's washed off. Then again I used the cheapest paint I could find, just to test it.

So they don't actually know what direction to take aircraft in and decided on stealth. Seems reasonable, all else being equal, the party that is detected last has a higher chance of winning. What happens when a new detection method is

Both of those can be solved in a month with unlimited migration. But then you get the "standards of living in this city have gone to shit" problem :D

It won't eliminate A/Cs. People could use white or silver paint right now. They don't. It "looks bad".

Electric tricycles, pretty damn good if your city has a well developed bike lane network. The prices though...

Not if you do it yourself. E.g. $900 for a diesel pump change vs $200 + a Saturday. But that's always been the case.

Probably better than a bicycle. Good enough tbh, but maybe not for the US.

Sounds good for city use. In fact I'd like a model twice as long (can be half as fast) for the extra cargo space.

Bikes in general are a ripoff. I wonder if it's because they sell poorly so the prices must be high or it's just some sort of monopoly (perhaps tied in with the bike theft mafia) :D

Surprised they went with 13. It still has a negative connotation around the world. Especially among people willing to buy an iPhone.

FFS, do you even understand that word? DE has the opposite of vigilante culture. People always rely on some governmental authority. When it affects them, that is. Otherwise, no one gives a shit about anything.

Lol, don't buy into the stereotypes. Germany is like USA with better social policies. As long as you pay your taxes you're free to do whatever you want. No one will help you, no one will get in your way. The occasional cranky old

A motivated party can deploy and detonate several bombs in places with a lot of people any day, Covid rules notwithstanding. It's laughably/terrifyingly easy, the hardest part is building or buying the bombs. But you don't se

Keep quiet on your real identity and use the anonymity of the Internet to share everything. Just be careful so it can't be traced back to you. That can be pretty limiting, but it's better than nothing.
