> Belgium (saw a police officer with a long barrelled gun at the train station and noped out of even visiting it during an Interrail exploration trip); Sounds like you visited not too long after the Paris and Brussels terrorist attacks.

Maybe easiest to compare: it is purely audio and relies on you playing along with the lesson you listen to. So somewhat similar to Michel Thomas but more modern. His main effort is to make connections between material that you already know

Not op but among others and not taking about paris, but I'd suggest * Food options/freshness * Culture affordable * Pace of life generally calmer (but I know only UK cities not countryside life so YMMV) * Working hours lower * Mor

I own a bike with a big box in the front and parking has absolutely not been an issue for me. In the last six months I rode > 2600km in and around one of the densest European cities and parked in many different places. I have yet to find

The lawyer can enter their entire brief and get back the brief the other side's lawyer uploaded in her own brief an hour earlier. No one can trust the AI.

Not relevant to the discussion but possibly for you: I discovered this 100% free no-signup audio-only course for Greek through a previous HN post. Amazing approach (like Michel Thomas but more charming and modern and free!): https:/&#

I think the issue here is more that the legal text could be interpreted as going quite far, even if this was not necessarily intended. Here the proposal , scroll down to 'Article 1' for content. https://eur-lex.europa

May I ask what device? But the setup sounds quite complex, I'm not sure i would consider this low tech :-)

Sorry that you put your political preferences in there but I can and do criticise a corrupt lefist dictator in Venezuela with as much gusto as a corrupt right wing dictator in Hungary or Russia. They persecute gays and vilify Jews. You don&

Having spent many hundreds of hours in different Duolingo courses a few years back I can confidently day that I learned... Nothing. I speak three languages fluently and a few more at the basic level, so am not a language ignoramus - but Duo

Someone should show these people Anki or maybe ClozeMaster. So many more effective ways to practice vocabulary than the Duolingo way.

Thank you for this recommendation. A programme that actually makes all materials available for free and only lives on donations really must be trusting itself. It sounds in style similar to the Michel Thomas method.

Apart from the replies below that these are different issues, the real argument concerning rule of law is that Hungary is receiving EU funds which then flow in shady coffers as the Orban government chooses to not enforce the law of simply s

What security and privacy concerns the app itself sparks (e.g. just last week the EU institutios banned it for staff), it seems the real power is in the manipulation it provides and how intransparent the process behind is. It is fact that t

Another different failure point. I once broke my android phone and bought and set up a new one - only to find I can no longer access my Gmail account that I used before with my Google authenticator, so I am locked out forever from that acco

Im sorry but this is just absurd conspiracy psychobabble. Throw words and buzzphrases together as much as you like, there is still no coherent understanding or argument behind your post. "The government" (or the Illuminati, or the

The free Unciv (available on Play and F-droid) is a great alternative for on the go. Simpler and less focus on graphics. Great little game

Indeed. And just to flag that this is not at all unusual, rather it is a regular process of EU law making - the European Commission monitors and ensures that the 27 Member States all implement the jointly agreed laws. Most cases never go to

The aim there is more to get you hooked to come in (1$/day) and then a muffin every third day and they get a good profit. Like Amazon prime.

I don't know about the US but in Europe many cities/communes will list registered businesses in the area, usually these are manually curated lists. so while you don't necessarily get ratings/reviews (which I have basical

Everything is of course flavour preference but I found that liquid smoke is a great add-on that makes much veggie food taste good to meat eaters; it takes care of the smokey/charred flavour that you get using ham or frying your meat be

It's very sad that so much veggie food is now with egg. A horrible rancid flavour that meat eaters and veggies alike don't like. But it's cheap and heavily subsidised so goes into everything as a filler.

Quorn is a fermented slime mold, the fungi label is a marketing trick. This said, I used to like Quorn before they started stuffing egg (mostly eggwhite) into everything. The real slime mold is great, but where I live it's near impossi

Maybe I missed that part but i don't see how they establish which is the cause and which is the effect. People do switch to healthier or perceiver-to-be-healthier alternatives once they get sick, so it might well be that those with pro
