I live in Switzerland and have worked in projects in Poland. It's obvious which country is wealthier.

I got my motorcycle license so that I could split lanes when I lived in California. It's legal in the sense that there's no mention of it in the books. So you can split lanes as long as you're not being reckless. Some car dri

We love our induction stove top. The "burners" go from 1 to 9 but also have an L and P setting. 4 is the same as gas low. 7 is the same as gas high. 8 is wok hot. 9 is too hot. P is power - for heating up water. It's amazing.

I gave up after a couple of paragraphs... somewhat related, when we were renters we came across at times landlords that wouldn't rent to Americans. They didn't hide - they'd just say they don't rent to Americans. I think

Something I've wondered... if you publicly say that a domain is for sale and someone has a trademark for it would you automatically lose in arbitration? Around 1998 I registered a domain. Sony registered a trademark with the same name

I'm not sure if you get this in the news in the USA but trump and his administration are pretty much constantly mocked and made fun of in the press - at least here in Europe. It's just constant legitimate mockery about specific i

lol. Unless you were a Swiss farmer and dared to not want to live under their thumb.

It's not a literal concept.

I'm American but moved to Europe years ago where I am definitely happier. I like the superstitious idea that the American continent is cursed from the deaths of 55 million native Americans since the discovery of the western hemisphere.

I have a property in NW Wisconsin. It's incredibly poor there - it seems like most people working age are on disability - the new form of welfare. Money is earned mostly in summer and hunting seasons. It's pretty depressing. Lots

I'm in Zurich and twice now the weather apps radars said it was raining heavily right where I am but no rain was making it to the ground. Instead it was unbelievably humid. I think the rain was falling but evaporating before it could r

I prefer not to cook that because I like the taste of it very much. I use it like Roman soldiers used to use it - a liquid that you put on whatever you're eating, like we use ketchup now. I think the Italian fish sauce is much softer a

Yeah, rough-ground peppercorn.

Instead of "rotten" I should have probably used "fermented". They're dark brown, not dry but not in a liquid, individual anchovies that are starting to fall apart. They smell like a stronger version of fish sauce.

There's a farmers market here in Zurich where some Italians drive up and sell Italian products like cheeses, sausages, etc. but one thing I buy from them I've never seen anywhere else - they are rotten salted anchovies packed with

I had an uncle that was drafted to play professional football but instead got scooped up by the Vietnam draft. He was an enthusiastic hunter but he refused to carry a gun in war and became a battlefield medic instead. On the battlefield he

There are varying levels of quality for the same bulb. I don't know what the difference is in the bulb but they make a difference in the order of years. I'm in Switzerland where we can no longer buy halogen bulbs. Every bulb in ou

Iceland has no nuclear power plants.

by comrade1234 2mo ago
Here in Switzerland during some heatwaves they have to shut down nuclear plants too because the river water is too warm and adding warm water to it would kill the fish.

I think my dad was around 5'10" or something like that. For training, what he said is that they all had three(?) areas/responsibilities that they were trained in so that if someone got sick or died someone was available to ta

My dad was based on a submarine when he was in the navy. He didn't talk much about it but maybe because it was just kind of boring. They would go to the North Pole/icecap and just sit under it for three months.

It's similar but the egg almost makes it like custard and the spice is only turmeric and some red pepper and garlic. It's more subtle.
