Yeah EU. One example I can give is this, Specialized Aethos 2024 for 2200 but only one size available, Giant TCR Advanced 2024 several sizes 2400, plenty others. This is a reputable retailer and there are some other with same/lower pri

For about the last year and a half you can usually get a carbon road bike from major brands with basic components starting from 2000 euro (right now I see Bianchi, BMC, Cannondale, Cube, Giant, Specialized listed around that price).

Simply not providing nutritional value would be neutral from health perspective. We are looking for something that provides negative effects, either direct (something toxic) or indirect (like causing us to eat more which causes obesity...).

This started as a discussion about whether not-primarily-political institutions (like Scientific American) should have and publish political opinions. It was started by an attack of a political institution (Reason) saying they should not.

My argument is that every institution is political whether it wants or not. Bakery is very obviously political because everyone tends to eat food and as such food is an evergreen political theme. Perhaps this is more visible in some countri

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institution is as good as any. I would not consider a small (one person or family) bakery an institution. A large one (measured by number of employees etc) would be an institution, and d

There are no apolitical institutions. You would see that more clearly when visiting (or god forbid living in) a dictatorship or totalitarian regime, where all institutions are either brought in line with the regime or abolished. And I do me

Yeah I'd expect 20yo Perl5 stuff to work without issues. A few weeks ago I was experimenting with a sound generation dsl/runtime called Csound and even most 30yo sources were working as long as they didn't use some obsolete U

Not much I would think - there is a clear difference between just being outside and being outside while expending lots of energy, at least for me.

You inserted 'simultaneously', not me. But if you are not able to eventually sell all the tickets for more than $100, clearly not all of them are worth more than $100. Some, at the right time and place, might be, but not all.

You are talking about American politics, meanwhile this is happenning all over the world, in some countries much sooner and faster than in the US.

It would be wrong to ascribe this to the politics, it's the change in the physical and social reality that enabled this situation, off which some politicians are feeding their movements. Young men might not be as socially adept, which

What I got by the end was the unyielding anxiety and nervousness caused by the (dehumanizing, as you mention) modern society. It's a masterful movie in evoking those emotions. I watched it several times, so this is a positive endorseme

As you are fully aware, it does not imply any bull bars can be type approved (and there are a lot less such new cars as there were in the 90's and 00's in our country). So: 1) the regulation you said does not exist does in f

Are you sure there is no such regulation? We are talking about type approval, not individual registration, and the EU Reg 2019/2144 says: Regulation (EC) No 78/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9) sets out requir

I also enjoy El Corte Ingles in Spain. Sadly the German department stores seem to be dying and in the eastern countries the stores died in the 90's after the fall of communism.

The BPA and other additives will leak into water. PVC will break into VC and that will leak and cause cancer. And so on. Plastic is bad, especially single-use plastic.
