The UK is in Europe and it is easy to found an LLC. In the UK for example, there is no capital requirement at all. That's a lot les than 25k€.

And "stopped reading at X" (X usually being on the first line or last line, for added stupidity in either direction, and often over something completely marginal). I wonder if there is a list of template hacker news comments any

Going at what? You clearly just have an axe to grind, it's pretty cringe to bring war rape in North Africa into a discussion about censorship of images of jeans in North Korea. It's no surprise to find literal pro-fascism, pro-Ru

If you want braces and hate whitespace, just use another language that has braces and ignores whitespace.

You do not understand. Of course I know that if I fail to cancel, then I must keep paying. I had a month's subscription. At worst I expected to pay for one extra month of subscription before I remembered to cancel. I was OK with th

People don't check for every possible thing that can go wrong, otherwise we wouldn't have time to do anything. I remember when I got charged a "cancelling fee" for cancelling my Adobe subscription that accidentally went

I miss highlight/middle click to paste but everything else you listed is fairly arbitrary.

Well, they have oil.

Yeah that's not that much, certainly not enough to warrant being called a "massively failing economy", otherwise so too was the US a massively failing economy in the 80s when Japan was buying everything up. Total property as

Lol. Like I said, you just don't get it. The Russian slave mentality is as strong as ever.

by twixfel 3y ago
It's not massively failing, just relatively stagnant, and it's not being bought by the middle east, that's just not the case.

Czechs were only part of the Russian Empire for about 45 years, and only in the 20th century. Could have been worse. I think you just struggle to understand how fundamentally your country is hated by Eastern Europeans. Russia is like Germ

There is no scenario where Eastern European countries, who had been living under Russian tyranny for several centuries, only recently to secure their independence and security as part of the EU or NATO, are going to unilaterally disarm just

Yeah no different to Hitler taking the Sudetenland really. Pity to see such flagrant ethnofascism here.

That was a hypothetical. I was just observing that the Ukraine war is amazing for US interests in a strictly Machiavellian, geopolitical sense. We Europeans are getting fucked over by the Russians, Ukrainians most of all and of course Rus

Are you saying that Russia didn't invade Ukraine?
350.
by twixfel 3y ago
So do you think all of Russia's annexations should be recognised by the international community?
351.
by twixfel 3y ago
Yes I am assuming that very much, but it does not matter that much, either you're America first or you agree with their foreign policy anyway on Ukraine. I understand that Ukraine support has been politicised even when it should not b

If you want to be extremely cynical and seek to strictly extend and project the USA's power as harshly and effectively as possible, the war in Ukraine was God's gift to the USA. They get to basically take out Russia (China's

It's not ridiculous at all. Not all leaders can be negotiated with, that is simply my point. Maybe as an American you do not understand the depth of feeling, it does not affect you because you don't live here and subsequently yo

We were all there, the US and UK were warning about the invasion for a long time before it happened. The Russians and their useful idiots in the West laughed, of course they would never invade! Then the invasion actually did happen and no

Yeah if only the Taliban had handed over Bin Laden to North Korea, then I'm sure justice would have been served.

I think there's deep animosity between Russia and much of the West. It's very easy for Americans to shrug their shoulders and say "we don't care it's a long way away", regardless of whether or not that would be

At my current workplace (particle accelerator) one control panel in particular has red for "good" as in "this is red, so don't go in here, because everything's fine and you have no reason to". Always amuses me

I am the same, I'm so terrible at chess that it's just not enjoyable for me, and I don't have time to learn it properly, so I just don't play even though I find the game interesting and a bit addictive.

I think I was being vague in my terminology. I wanted to say more broadly that German verbs are generally simpler than English ones because there are fewer tenses and aspects. There are however a greater number of strong verbs in German t

by twixfel 3y ago
English famously has relatively complex verb conjugation. What we don't have are cases (only a few words decline). German has cases for example, but much simpler verb conjugation.
