hexbin010··on India and EU announce landmark trade deal
This will have no adverse affects on wages, there is definitely skill shortages in IT and nursing in the EU, anyone mentioning immigration is a racist xenophobe, there is no comparison to the UK nor Canada, do not talk about the huge amount of outsourcing to India already happening, your personal experiences are racism, is it cold in Russia?

Did I miss anything?

And a VC. VCs are famously known for supporting unions, railing against wage suppression, directly supporting higher wages, advocating protective policies etc. /s

2% definitely sounds about right for the US...bahaha

> You seem to have some serious anger issue

Ad hominem so I'll discard most of your post. You lose when you try to insult my character.

> Spanish railways have lately killed a horrifying amount of passengers

Swiss bars have lately burned a horrifying amount of customers. Get your own house in order :)

Of course Rusform UK promise to repeal it - they want Russian trolls to have as much unfettered access to the British public as possible

Yeah, fair enough, just didn't want people to waste their time with the councillors regarding national legislation
hexbin010··on UK House of Lords Votes to Extend Age Verification to VPNs
Councillors have a totally different role though and aren't involved in creating legislation

Spain having built 20x more HSR than Switzerland in absolute terms, and much more HSR in terms proportional to country size, does actually does give them the right not to be lectured on HSR by a tiny country with a well-known superiority complex - especially when it's a cheap, incoherent shot soon after a tragedy.

I could make a cheap shot about fires in bars...but I won't.

I mean maybe something of merit in that, but Spain has nearly 4000km of hitherto excellent and safe high speed rail and Switzerland around 200 km. Who should be giving lessons to whom? ;) Totally different scale of operations

5!

An Asturias Circanías train collided with debris from a collapsed tunnel wall on Thursday afternoon in Olloniego. No injured though

Got a link?

And how does it accord with the many statements made early on about the track being renewed recently?

Brit here. Yes because the average Brit is insufficiently educated to understand the harm. They are very easily swayed by "think of the children" or saving just one life. They consume huge amounts of propaganda with little to zero critical thinking

I love how powerful the GDPR marketing was that it made people forget that there are massive exceptions for prevention of crime and for the government

Lol give over. Who told you that - solar panel companies? Companies selling holidays to the UK?

You ever been to England?

Try 2 weeks of seemingly endless cloud up this way lol. This winter has been seriously depressing so far

hexbin010··on Douglas Adams on the English–American cultural divide over "heroes"
Conversely what does an American mean when they say "wow that's absolutely amazing" for everything ...
hexbin010··on Douglas Adams on the English–American cultural divide over "heroes"
In business I find Americans oversell their achievements and I constantly have to decode "the absolute best", "knocked it out the park", "most amazing X" and figure out what has been redefined this month for that to be true. They use incredible contortions in language too to mislead and cover up and make themselves look good

Colleagues also managed to have the most amazing coffee or literally — literally — the best taco ever, every week. It's quite something!

We also get self deprecating in front of Americans because they're purposefully intimidating. Big characters, loud voices, huge military they're not afraid to use etc. UK is often bullied by the US Gov. It's deference too

If it improves this (reproducible) situation I'm all for it:

- Hey Siri set the thermostat to 18

- What temperature?

- 18

- Call emergency services?

The UK will perpetually have "issues" that lead to higher pricing. We just put up and pay. It is unspoken energy policy to be expensive

Oh no we messed up nuclear oops sorry made it very expensive. Pay up

Oops sorry we messed up transmission pay up

Oops sorry we let people get into huge energy debt pls pay off their debt in your bill...
