America’s and your holier than the pope attitude is hypocritical in this regards. I really must refrain my self to describe it as typical. You won’t see the same reaction when the story is about anti western Islamic propaganda. And I’m not

Since the end of WW2 we (Belgium) have laws against glorifying nazisme or racisme. After 70 years we are still a democratic country. And we are certainly not the only democratic country that have similar laws...

The problem is not being big but the effect you have on the market. And that effect is naturally a lot bigger if you are a defacto monopoly ergo why there are a different set of rules. It can't be all party if you are at that position.

I don't remember the correct numbers but here in Belgium at the current rate we will have double the amount of heatwaves in comparison with the previous century. Regardless of what is the cause, it's nut that we are only 17 years

Sorry but for years the mantra was for a gaming pic to invest in a i5 or even an i3 and spend the extra money in a good GPU. But for some bizarre reason suddenly everything that is not performing as an i7 7770k is a "bad cpu for gaming

Here in Belgium the Carrefour also introduced that system. It's fast if the system doesn't (randomly) pick you out for inspection. Nevertheless I like the system. What I have also seen in the Hypercarrefour in Bruges that they sca
