Thanks for your comment. I am the GP commenter and in fact live in Switzerland, and this is one component of what I was implicitly referring to but I think your comment describes the situation more fairly than I implied. However, I think an

The somewhat more complicated and modern Casio watch I had also had this EL whine. Now I finally found out why it occurs, so thanks for that! The silent F-91W was almost pleasant in comparison despite its uneven and (IMO) not very pretty li

Hmm, I've tried the Sony (WH-1000XM3) and Bose (QC35) headphones at an electronics store and could pair both rather seamlessly with my Android device. NFC helped to make this even easier than pairing AirPods.

My suggestion as to why: police officers carrying guns doesn't need to pose a concern. I currently live in a country with a much lower police shooting and killing rate than the UK despite police routinely carrying firearms here. Grante

There is a third option, because cops in nearly every European country carry guns [1], either in their vehicle or actually on them. Even still, few get shot in this type of situation. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P

I'm not as familiar with UBPorts/Ubuntu Touch, but you can do this with Debian on the PinePhone, or use other package managers like Pacman with Arch/Manjaro. I think you're conflating the phone with UBPorts, which is jus

The law, as I understand it, already seems to state that online-only programs do not qualify as a sufficient basis for a student visa. The authorities had previously stated they would ignore this due to the pandemic forcing many students to

They are based on reasons that are statistically founded in some way because not everyone's blood can be tested as extensively as anyone would like, so reducing risk factors helps. I can't speak for every country but this is at le

The analogy isn't appropriate, in my opinion. It's viable to start a new grocery business and consumers can exercise choices in which ones they frequent. These options are not nearly as viable for healthcare (particularly in emerg

I find this characterization somewhat amusing, in a positive way. This makes it sound like someone implemented (rather poorly) an ambitious wealth gap reduction plan that uses insufficient approximations and no government oversight, leaving
