I tried for a few months when I first arrived in Estonia. I got mixed reactions and was about to give up, but then my neighbours were the ones greeting me. I have since made a point of greeting any neighbour I meet in my building.

For the most part, you should avoid Italian brands of olive oil (sold outside of Italy). They mix Greek, Spanish, Portuguese olive oil, then label it Italian for branding purposes, and the content is never virgin or extra virgin. The labell

There is already a big sense of alarm on social media (particularly along new EU/NATO countries) that this can lead up to new confrontation between Russia and NATO. I would like to think that Russia is not going to start attacking Turk

There's also the Savage Islands that are disputed between Portugal and Spain. They are barely habitable, but make a big impact in calculating the EEZ of each country in the northern Atlantic https://en.wikipedia.org/

From the point of view of providing preventive medicine and lowering overall healthcare costs, this is the right way. From the point of view of this info being used by insurance companies, not so good.

I really like solar and wind (personally invested in some) but can you (or someone) clarify the CO2-neutral aspect of solar? Until some time ago, we still kept hearing about the impacts of building the panels, etc...
