Having been born under the Soviet occupation and witnessing it for a few years before the the whole thing collapsed, it was the German mail order catalogs that made most people realise how bad we had. So the soviet union collapses, there&#x

I bet they did laugh all the way to the bank, but the example shows how "well" local authorities manage to structure these deals. There are countless examples where a company offers something for otherwise grant gods forgotten pla

I used to have socks with 'Monday', 'Tuesday', etc. I used to wear them randomly. A lot of people used to notice it and comment why I'm with Friday socks even though it's only Tuesday:)

Having done one myself, I blew off the fuses and burned some wires, because I bought a wrong thing,so yeah, it's a 5 min job but you still need to know what to do.

Salesforce spends tons of money on sales people. If they'd want to make a pile if cash, they could fire them all and could still live off the existing contracts for years. As the market penetration will increase, they should technicall

I lived in Stockholm for some time before relocating to London. It's a very nice city, good public transport, etc. Depending on where you come from it can be either lovely or very difficult in winter.

We have similar law in Lithuania regarding the dual citizenship: you can't have it, but if your kids were born abroad and gained citizenship of another country by the right of birth, then they get to keep both citizenships.

I think in general money isn't a topic amongst the rich. Yes, there are exceptions, but in general it's a very boring thing to talk about once you reach a certain level.

I think for an average Brit the NHS is the same as the queen used to be: you may not like it, but if anyone says something negative about it, you are absolutely ready to die for it. At least this was the impression I used to get whenever I

We hired a few people from the NHS. Admin staff. They were over the moon and working hard even with lower salaries as long as they won't need to work for NHS. The workloads are insane and the shitty cynical attitude is all over the pla

We left the UK last year. I liked many things there, but the NHS was never one of them. The GPs who are often borderline incompetent. The administrative staff and their endless errors. Wait times were always bad. A few years ago we waited 9

It doesn't help at all. It's a gimmick and it used(maybe still is) to look cool when you sit with a tablet and look like you are learning something. In any decent class, you'd have hard time following the pace the professor s

I used to work as a project manager , where we had a large pool of vetted freelancers. You'd select the type of work, specify the price and the system would send a mass email to those- whoever accepts first, gets the job. Most of our

I think the problem is not just the quality of jobs, but the number too. Even in advanced economies like Germany, where they make tons of stuff, the need for mechanical engineering isn't nowhere as high as it is for software developers

I dropped out from mechatronics studies. I don't think I was mature enough to study at that age. The course was designed to take in about 100 people each year with about 20% eventually expected to graduate. I don't think I remembe

I recently started trying not to be overly dismissive about all the new stuff that is trending or picking up traction. I like tech, I make living off it, yet I'm one of those that happily move to 70's and use paper and pen instead

It does seem so. After losing a top ranking domain, our company managed to get back to the top in 6-9 months. Part of the process was going back and asking to update the backlinks to the new domain.
