At least here in Europe there are plenty of hotels with solo traveller rooms (<=120 cm beds). But still not uncommonly priced at 80-95% of a double occupancy doublebed-room. I often book a double for myself (often for the same price or €

There's zero real difference between a meeting ending at :50 dragging over and a meeting ending :00 dragging over. If anything, a group booking a meeting in the ten minutes in between increases meeting room usage, since the next meetin

A few reasons come to mind, as a EU citizen: * The US has repeatedly threatened military invasion of a country (Denmark) near mine. * The US has basically given Russia the green light to invade the rest of EU when ready. * Mentioned elsewhe
