Interesting, i didn't know about the "Bundesländer" having their own security services. Maybe that is why Germany has a reputation for poor security services as whole, as it is harder to direct resources. Not that it is neces

And most mobile phone operators in the UK put back roaming charges as fast as they could after Brexit. So you know they were screwing everyone over.

Thanks that's interesting. At least the affect was shitty broadband rather than filling rivers with sewage, which is what water company privatisation got us.

Nonsense, Openreach is the worst possible option for consumers. It is just a way to syphon wealth from a previously publicly owned asset to the global elite via dividends. It just hasn't blown up as big as Thames Water, decades to get

I can't tell if this is serious or not. Do Americans know there are sources of information other than social media apps? Just watch Al Jazeera on Youtube if you want the Palestinian side.

Pretty sure a diverse portfolio will feature gold. It might not be in gold coins in the owners basement though. Investing in stocks where most companies are doing their best to suppress worker compensation or out-right replace them with rob

I find good deals on manufacture online stores, so that would be helpful. It started from using Amazon to research and then looking for alternative larger online stores to buy from when product+shipping more or less matched Amazon. A couple

Yup, i rarely have to update the commit link to that script. They seem to focus on taking down extensions that get popular rather than actually changing their obfuscation method.

Not sure which graph you are looking at but Google Finance shows 2008, the Brexit referendum and Liz Truss giving the Pound/Dollar exchange rate a good kicking, after each of those events it didn't recover. This is the reason UK h

London is likely going to be the least effected area of the UK by Brexit, which is ironic given the leave/remain vote distributions. The real problems are not for global businesses, but for small businesses that lost access to a market

You can get new Nintendo games as fast as you can download them from the E-Shop, which is as easy access as anywhere else. Obviously you need a Switch to play them legally (it's that whole console gaming thing).

Maybe you have the "other" Aldi (Nord) in NL? In the UK the Aldi stores are quite nice. Far less pallets dropped on the shop floor and most of it on shelves. They are generally smaller shops and VERY busy though, which is all that
