I don't mind alcohol, especially at the low amounts that it is in a regular beer, but I wish calorie-free/low-calorie free beers were more common. I know they exist in the US but not really a thing in EU.

I can really recommend Wong Kar-Wai. I may have rewatched some of his movies four or five times. Chungking Express is such a beautiful movie. You can also take a look there at a bit less developed and less modern Hong Kong.

I can remember quite well my first years, including Kindergarten but it's very very hard for me to remember my primary school and to some extent the secondary school periods. I wonder, whether it's still the same phenomenon, or ju

I wish I had such "useful" memories. I just vividly remember having my diapers changed (before the modern "panty-style" ones) and really disliking it. The material had very rough surface (to a child), probably due to ble

Same here. I have a script to remap PgUp/Dn with Home/End but only on the internal keyboard. USB keyboards still have the normal setup. For me it's even more complicated cause I use Colemak.

I'm really surprised they don't support Polish IDs. We've had them in the same format for ages and I've done automatic verification with some other companies (e.g. Revolut). Multiple much smaller countries' IDs are
