  • I can tell you my sister always blamed my parents for mostly going on vacation to Poland, where they had a summer house and family (uncles, aunts, grandparents) instead - like the rich children from her class in Germany - to Spain or Italy.

    Now she is asking if she could use that summer house to be able to go anywhere abroad because turns out it's quite difficult to earn a lot of money to be able to take your child on expensive vacations. And she has only one instead of three children like our parents.

    While I can't tell you if she feels like you describe, but I think in this case she should :p

  • Yes, but compared to 30 years ago overall it seems way less. But yeah, I would need to go through the numbers to be able to point to real data points, you're right.

  • It really depends where. In the global south? Way better, in China, it's debatable. In Poland, way better. In the US, way worse. In the UK, way worse.

    It's good to bring it into perspective with numbers like Hans Rossling used to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8t4k0Q8e8Y sadly he died and nobody took this over after him to visualize data in this way so publicly yet.

  • No, it does not mean you have the job, there are still many others in the race.

  • fax machines, both in Germany and Japan.

  • The article doesn't explain how way exit works

  • I remember going voting with my parents in the 80's in communist Poland. Voting was mandatory, so you would get into trouble if you wouldn't go. It also wasn't private, so you basically had to show what you voted for before putting your ballot into the ballot box. On top of they there was only one party which you could vote for.

  • My guess is that their revolt will be similar as the recent Chinese and Russian ones.

  • When me and my sister were 6 and 4 our dad came in to our room to tell us a bedtime story. He lied down with us on the bed and started telling the story.

    It was just before Christmas and because our flat was small we had the Christmas tree with lights on in our room by the door, and we were on the other side of the room on the bed by the window, ca. 3 m away

    Once he was done withe the story suddenly in the same moment the Christmas light turned off. That was in Poland in the 80's so no home automation or anything.

    He told us the Jesus baby turned it off because it was sleeping time. Even as a 6years old I was suspicious about that answer because it was a one time thing. But I never figured out how he did it.

  • I go there, try to explain what I have (I don't speak Korean and the doctor is not very good in English). Then the might give me a shot and let me inhale some stuff. Then I pay some mony (don't remember exactly how much, but not so much) and they give me a prescription and I go away. Most of the time it takes about 10 minutes.

  • Thunderbird is not a email provider, it's email client. Gmail is both a email provider and they have a webclient you can (but don't need to) use. You can use gmail with Thunderbird, I do that.

    The question is what are you looking for a new email provider or a new email client?

  • How do people pay for illegal things like drugs, prostitution and so on?
