How come trade is seen as a peace maker for inside the EU, but not seen as a peace maker when done with Russia? AFAIK Russia has been a trustworthy gas supplier and it would be economical suicide if they proved not to be trustworthy.

The Super_FX seems to be a coprocessor. More companies created silicon ( Commodore? ), but not CPUs AFAIK.

What is interesting too is that none of the other microcomputer manufacturers of the time tried to create their own CPU. We have IBM + the rest of the mainframe guys and Sun.

And how is this relevant for the regular shoe shop or clothing boutique in a Dutch city in the mid-nineties? Real pressure on sales volume is still 15 years away. Not a timeline which is actionable for the smaller retailer. Also, plenty of

In the mid-nineties the writing was not on the wall, internet based sales were still a novelty well into the 2000s. Regarding the shop owners : maybe it is part of their problem and maybe they could reclaim a part of their clientele if only

I am describing the sentiment at-the-time. Of course, some people were complaining can't get anywhere in the City anymore after a first redesign to a one way street model. But change is always criticized and the criticism soon died o

But this was much later. The transition from a car centered city to a bike/walk-centered city started around 1980 in Groningen.

Sea level rise at the Dutch coast has been more or less stable at 2mm/year for the last 120 years or so. No acceleration detected. Our dikes have been recently upgraded and maintained and one of the responsible public workers said he w

There is hardly or no resistance to these changes. The only vocal group would probably be shop owners fearing loss of traffic, loss of revenue. Well, it didn't pan out that way. Also, during the time of the transition there was a very

My city replaced the old billboards ( primarily in bus stops, but there are freestanding ones as well ) by electronic billboards . It is like there are giant 2 meter tall Phones everywhere, but this time they only show ads. I go out of my

AFAIK the criticism comes down to the notion the 4 traits need to be viewed on a scale, not as a binary. I am under the impression the 4 traits do map fairly well to the 'big 5' [0] and there is little debate about that foundation

You are yoking, but I recently needed to visit a sewing machine shop and it appears there are sewing machines with Android UIs. And it was displaying a YT video. My sewing machine is decade+ old second hand I got for € 20, no YT.

It depends, but if worn too much, the shoes 'mold' to the (previous) owner. And you will feel this primarily in your knees very soon.

There are plenty of second hand stores (kringloop) in NL and I have been buying everything except underwear (socks,underpants,undershirts) there. I have to admit, it takes time : you will have to frequent the shops at least weekly/bi-w

Asking for evidence of manufacturing consent is not understanding manufacturing consent . Without being told, the media knows what is supposed to report on and what not to report on.
