You're correct that many people are unaware of their rights. It's too bad; the airlines are obligated to inform bumped passengers of their rights but they don't always. I'm not sure I follow your edit. How often you fly

Go fill a glass of water and float some ice cubes in it. Mark the water level on the side of the glass. Watch the water level remain constant as the ice melts. Another experiment: fill a glass with water and ice so the ice isn't floati

While icebergs are "ice in the sea" they are formed from terrestrial glaciers. Ergo, they are not sea ice. Sea ice is formed from the freezing sea surface from water that is already part of the ocean. You're technically right

While it looks like there will be turbines on/around this island hub, it's primarily a hub for distributing power from geographically disparate wind farms to North Sea countries. The island itself isn't so much for localized

Buildings, cats, etc. kill many orders of magnitude more birds than wind turbines. Have a look at Table 1 on pg 4: http://sci-hub.cc/10.1146/annurev-ecolsys-112414-054133 It does get a bit misleading to generalize, bec

Frankly who cares how Presidents and billionaires get around? It's entirely irrelevant to your unsubstantiated claim that "public transport is intrinsically a worse and less convenient experience than having a private driver.&quot

Maybe this is true for you where you live, but it is certainly not true in other places.

I learned the other day that something similar was happening in the US in the 80s with peoples' social security numbers. Someone was asking why a turntable from the 80s had a big social security number etched into the back; apparently,

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. I was thinking in terms of Alaska vs the rest of the US.

Too late to edit, but continental -> contiguous. UK is already continental Europe; they're on the same plate.

by cr1895 10y ago
Well technically I think it depends on which side of Iceland you're standing. To the west you're on the North American plate and to the east it's the Eurasian plate.

This has everything to do with the UK not being in the Schengen area, and nothing to do with it being in the EU or Europe at large.
592.
by cr1895 10y ago
So is Europe -> Eurozone? Is EU -> Eurozone? Is Schengen -> EU? These are all quite clearly defined. Some (many?) may think that the EU is the same as Europe, but this is plainly false.

Consider that the only country within the North/Central/South American land masses explicitly having America as part of its name is the United States of America. It makes a lot of sense really considering the global dominance of

Brexit is solely related to UK membership within the European Union. It is wrong to conflate being a part of Europe with being a part of the European Union. Throughout history the ties between what is now the UK and what is now continental

Agreed. Taxis in the Netherlands are often overpriced, outright scams[1], aggressive[2], have curiously non-functioning card payment despite policy, etc. Uber is available, but nothing else. I'd gladly switch to an alternative for a nu
