Is "Florine" the same as "Flourine", and isn't that what they give children so they get healtheir teeth? I am a bit confused here to be honest. Edit: Sorry, stupid question, was thinking of Fluoride.

If I were you I would try to get a job where people are aware of your situation and give your breaks whenever you need them. Freelancing adds extra stress, because you are outside the "easy" system for taxes, welfare and healthcar

Do people in Poland still drive at the very right side so others can overtake even if there is oncomin traffic? I could not believe it when I saw that (maybe twenty years ago).

How much does a driver's license cost in the US? What do you have to do in order to get one? Here in Germany, my son has to sit through 14 theory lessons and then pass a theoretical test (with questions out of a pool of 1400 questions)

More cars => fewer pedestrians Sometimes the easiest solutions hide in plain sight.

If they don't know, how do you know they don't care? I find that if I show people a nice feature they did not know about, they often like it and then use it. It's just that not everyone is a tinkerer who first feels the need

I was in the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville a few weeks ago. We watched the Webb telescope presentation with a live comment in the planetary, and I could not believe how perfectly the presentation was done. Everything was abso

In 1934 Hitler already mocked Gothic script as "backwards oriented" that does not fit into an age of "steel and iron, glass, concreate, of female beauty and masculine strength". It seems there was no consistent attitude

QRD: Hitler considered Gothic script as "ungerman". He claimed it consists of "Schwabach Jew letters". Therefore, instead of Fraktur (the common Gorthic font), Antiqua was mandated to be used for official documents, news

That ad hominem attack was a bit uncalled for, especially since tablomonto.nl is sending their users' IP addressed to Google by using Google Fonts, too.

No, advetisements do not make a country innovative, and I never said that, and I have no idea why you would even bring this up. But if you are a small company in Europe that for example is producing a better and lighter cardboard box, you w

THat would require small companies having to implement their own Ad business. Sorry, your idea is cute, but completely unrealistic.

Have you ever heard of the concept of copyright?

Well, let's just take a look at the most benign case where a site owner was sued and convicted by simply using Google Fonts without any bad intentions and without selling or transfering any other data to Google. To Google your IP addre

Yes, but making stuff illegal is much easier than being inventive.

Apparently a German court ruled that embedding fonts from Google Fonts is not "fair" to the user. You either have to ignore parts of the GDPR or you accept to not be able to do many useful things.

So hosting an ad is now illegitimate? How about embedding a video? And why should you not embed stuff from a CDN?

As another European I consider this a grave mistake and I am not surprised that we do not see many successful startups in Europe. It is part of the narrow-minded micro managing mindset that too many European politicians (especially the gree

Before watching the Truman Show I actively avoided Jim Carrey movies because I really disliked his over the top acting. Just like in your case, this movie completely changed my view of Jim Carrey, even the performances in previous movies th

The age factor certainly played a role, but I do not think the media influenced in my decision a lot. Judging from European mainstream media the southern red states are full of retards, which I cannot confirm from our visit. Quite the oppos

If you just bought a massive oak board (the were nowhere cheaper and better that at IKEA around 2005) with two solid trestles, you should easily be able to move them 13 more times.

IKEA has different levels of "robustness" in their products. The Broder and Värde product lines (both no longer offered) are almost industrial strength and you can be sure that they will survive many relocations, while others, esp

Pretty impressive, but I had the video running in the background and it sounded a bit too sterile for my taste. Also, the narrator sounds a bit like she once gave a foot massage to Marsellus Wallace's bride.

Talking to those people is always great. It either gives them a way to share their problems with somebody, or you find someone who has a really interesting past and you can learn a lot. Best thing that ever happened to us was meeting a reti
