Because one is not expected to tip in Germany, only in the Balkans. Italy and Hungary both have service tax if you sit down. For takeout they might have a tip jar where you tip a few coins. And I've only been very nicely asked to tip i

I'll take the domestic corrupt bureaucrats over Russian installed puppets, because they'll do whatever the US Embassy tells them to. The Soviets applied the well known Crimea scenario and won past 1945 without firing a single bull

They're using low income South Asians to clean up, it's modern slavery. Also people will stick the cigarette butts in every nook and cranny available.

You should try Vinia Traian[1] then, It's very close to the Gagauzia autonomous region, located in the Valul lui Traian PGI[2]. Also anything from Slobozia Mare: Domeniile Davidescu, Vinaria din Vale. They also have Saperavi, a Gerogia

Why? Cheap flights and booze? I'd like to know in order to avoid such destinations. Drunk Brits on bachelor parties were by far the most annoying tourists in Spain or Greece. I thought my co-nationals were annoying until I encountered

Compared to the Balkans, Southern Europe? Probably. They have more disposable income to travel instead of babysitting. I'd say they're more financially independent. It's also culture. In Southern and Eastern Europe family is

The EU had an energy crisis because Germany was high on Russian gas, along with most of Central Europe. Thankfully the US took care of that. Southern Europe also has few fossil fuel options if Libya and Algeria decide to align themselves wi

I'm positive informed consent doesn't require cookie banners, but the advertisers opted to make it as annoying as possible so that everyone would click "accept" just to be left alone. It could be a browser mechanism that

CP is just a pretext to keep records on everyone. Good thing everyone over 40 in Eastern Europe still remembers the Stasi and its sister secret police agencies that collected data on everyone and tortured political prisoners. I suspect that

Yup, an underground structure would normally be a better design. But that would quickly get flooded with water in Manhattan in the event of a nuclear blast followed by loss of power.

We don't buy chicken at the supermarket. Our parents raise chickens. Fake supermarket parmesan? Probably. Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, not really. "The only additive allowed is salt, which the cheese absorbs while being submerged for

Dunno, I never eat KFC food. I'd rather eat bacon than hormone infused chicken, fully grown in less than a month, pressure fried in a crust of MSG saturated dough, which is supposedly halal and Colonel Sanders actually hates. In fact I

You can opt to hide your SSID and use 5GHz WiFi which doesn't reach too far, gets attenuated through walls, so it's basically kind of useless as a geolocation beacon.

More like 20. And pel6 is now a different language, raku, as they abandoned all hope to unify them. Even the community has splintered between perl and raku.
