As a Catholic, I believe that the imitation of Christ is an obligation for every Christian. We should always aim to imitate Christ. This is a very old idea. The 15h-century book by Thomas à Kempis is an example: https://en.wikipe

Yes. And putting Arabs and European whites in the same basket seems ridiculous, as there is anti-arab racism among white people (in the US) and, probably, the reverse is somewhat true too in some cases (there is a large diversity of situati

It is for this very reason that most of my work happens within Evernote. Each note is a fragment of information, which I can easily find, organize and link. I can even attach documents to the notes, which I can edit and are updated within t

Spaniard here. This is the exact situation in Mediterranean Spain, at least. At home, we only have olive oil, which we buy in 5L bottles.

Writing from Spain. Schools are open since September, with measures such as masks, isolated groups that don't mix during recreation time, etc. It has been shown that schools are not a major vector of propagation and that kids can safel

I'm Spaniard. My national ID has a chip and I use it daily to sign documents with a card reader and a password. You can change your password at police stations that issue ID cards. The signature is legally valid.

Thanks for your comment. Production and delivery of vaccines is the bottleneck. Israel is a very small country, compared to the EU.

To me, the bans are the proof tha BTC is ofering something. Why would central banks fear something that has no value?

Are you sure the West has always been defending human rights in its interventions in other countries? We should separate the justification for meddling in another country's affairs with the root cause of the meddling.

We are quite hard on us. This is a nasty cultural trait of Spain, because this hinders our work. I work in science and I think we would do much better if we didn't have this inferiority complex.

You can also add al the Pujol family scandals too. Unfortunately, there are corruption cases all over the political spectrum in Spain.

Spain is a country with huge problems. But it is not a failed state. You should try Venezuela if you want to get the flavour of failure. In any case, Spain is very corrupt, including Catalonia (where I live), but many other EU countries are

Europe is very heterogeneous. I'm sure social network usage is very different in Lithuania, Bulgaria, Spain, Norway or the UK.

Yes, it is renewable, but it renews very slowly. Thus, to start a massive wood based shipping industry (it should be massive to have an impact) it would cause serious deforestation. Large wood based military navies caused large deforestatio

Thanks for your comment. We all know that a shipping industry based on wood boats would be awful for the environment. We all know what would happen to the Amazon. So yes, you are right, it is silly to sell this as a solution to climate chan

In terms of security, thinking that your door lock will protect you is not a good strategy. There are many ways in which your door lock can be opened or broken. If it is a house, there are many other alternatives, like breaking through a wi

I depend on Evernote for my work. I won't be the first to upgrade, as I want to avoid issues, plus the new version misses some important features. However, I really wish this is a success, as Evernote perfectly fits in my workflow. Not

Same here. Raising kids, cooking, cleaning and working is more than enough. After two months (Spain) we now have the right to go for a walk every day with the kids. This has improved things. During the hard lockdown (no right to go outside
