Not sure what point you're getting at, but you can see vast majority of trains in Ireland (over 90% from eyeballing this page) are on time[1]. [1] https://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/about-us/train-punctuality-re..

I'm sure you would change your opinion when you immigrate to a new country, have to move around to different apartments because of a massive housing crisis, and then find an apartment long term and get accepted, and then get rejected b

Some fun features of SCHUFA in Germany: 1. If you apply for a loan, this affects your credit rating. Yes - not get a loan, or default on a loan, simply by applying for a loan, your SCHUFA can be affected negatively. Especially if you ar

I get where you’re coming from but I think you are overreacting a bit. I would suggest taking the most generous interpretation of OP’s comment. There’s nothing inherently wrong with noticing that women post more about this stuff - anecdotal

I mean it’s not a huge reach what OP is saying. Women are generally more open about their feelings publicly and about their mental health - so it would be expected so see a higher prevalence of women talking about antidepressants on social

I find this can be a bit messy because VS code runs lots of commands in the background that pollute the history with extremely verbose commands.

A much, much simpler explanation is that not including taxes in an items price increases the likelyhood of a consumer buying the product. Once a consumer goes to pay for a product, either online at checkout or at the cashier, they're m

It's much worse than you think here. Germany is in the stone age when it comes to digitalization. As an example, most immigrants will be waiting months to hear back from the Auslanderbehorde - and the only way to get them to reply to y
