It's perhaps part of the confusion, and a sign that the states - rather than nations - have become so important that the concepts have been muddled, but I think that what you refer to as a "civic nation" is actually typically

The main problem with slow cookers are that the liquid is not reduced properly which have to be done as a separate step using an ordinary sauce pan. If you do a 7-hour lamb in a pot in an oven, you have the opposite problem, as it's a

I'd say that you can use the washing up liquid 'Fairy' (Dawn?) for almost all cleaning related tasks. An exception is getting rid of limescale, where you need an acid. Citric acid works fine and does not smell. If you have a

In Sweden, there was a campaign to drop titles and respectful pronouns in the late 1960s, and instead use "du" - "you" or "thou" rather - the singular form, which was considered impolite. It worked out to be a

Unless you are doing some manual work at the same time, like ironing or something else that requires very little mental focus, I can't really see why?

Personally, I think it's more related to that many immigrants have a hard time to understand the highly individualist society when coming from clan societies, the case that many of them have traditional and backwards values that is fro

I doubt that any other country gives more money in the form of subsidies or social assistance programmes, both per capita (giver and receiver) and in absolute numbers. They also have free healthcare and enjoys free education up to universit

"Immigrants don't commit crimes"... Well, if you import a lot of very poor and unskilled people, the result will be more crime. Actually, I think it's more complicated that that. I can't find the data but I remembe

I think the answer lies in the small plot in the article: Difficulty vs Complexity. As the intrinsic complexity of the problem at hand increases, the (intrinsic) difficulty of using Excel just rockets after a certain point. The more experie

If this is marketing for the book (also mentioned in the Wikipedia article) it's bloody well done. It's probably not, since the book is 10 years old, but this is how it's done properly, I think.
