Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price?

As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.

And a guillotine.

Absolutely. And if they have the zucchini flowers for starter. And it's all good, really.

I can't remember if Artichokes are in season... I think I saw some at the market yesterday, but if they are then the Romans do great things with them. Both Roman and Jewish style.

Tell him to not go to restaurants within sight of a famous monument and never if there is someone in the street convincing people to come in.

Or if you want a concrete recommendation, go to Zi Umberto in Trastevere for awesome Roman peasant food. But you need to book.

You certainly make a lot of the coffee but all the technology for brewing it comes from Italy. Anyway, there is lots of credit to spread around. It's just that the French don't get any of it.

Signed, Not an Italian

They also seem to operate under the misunderstanding that the French can make coffee. Here in Italy we know that to be false.

Now go to Rome and get it there. I really miss proper carbonara and Amatriciana after moving from Rome to northern Italy.

Fermented orc blood. Distilled for a really good time. There was a really good vintage out of the East recently.

Honestly, I don't quite remember the details of what happens when you export an item. There won't be a sale to collect VAT on, but you'll have paid prices including VAT to your suppliers and there is something about tax credits. But at the end of the day it's a conceptually more complex sales tax but when you're working with it it's simple enough.

No, things produced in-country are taxed bit by bit along the production and transport chain, each time someone takes the thing and "adds value" to it. It's a value-added tax. Imported things are taxed all at once when imported. In the end it's the same amount of tax.

You could say imports are subject to a sales tax exactly equal to the value-added tax on domestic products. Sort of.

Every time we complain about the pay walls and (demand that someone) paste the full article text then we're making journalists beholden to people like Bezos. Wife and I used to subscribe to WaPo and NYT. Now it's Wired and NYT.

Yeah, can we vote for some intelligent design please. The old regime isn't working out.

No, you see, Trump expects Europe to pull their own weight now. So Belgium will do the invading and then hand Greenland to the USA.

No, the boomers had punch cards. That's an entire other level.

Not really. Being married to an EU/EEA citizen he'll get a residence in any of the other ones. But having a full passport will cut down on paperwork in the long term.

Also, it's nice here in Italy. Come over! The wife and I have been here for 7 years and once the bureaucracy is dealt with it's (mostly) quite pleasant.

Also of nitee is the "Waltz added you to the group" line. Unless The Atlantic modified the screenshot, then we know exactly what happened.

Wired "has been killing it" during the ongoing soft coup, to quote my journalist wife, and we've replaced our WaPo subscription with that. We can never dump NYT just because of the recipes.

There is no reason to be an arsehole about it.

Is this a good use for an AI image generator?
