Yup. Also because the biggest danger when you're hunting is other hunters

I have nice matcha bowls, I alternate between them, I still have a favourite but if I don't use them all I might as well sell the ones that don't see the light of day.

Except it's going to benefit big retailers the most.

Safety checks are the exception rather than the norm, but at least a local retailer can be sued for selling dangerous shit.

The 3€ charge isn't per item it's by HS code.

The people who warned against this when the PATRIOT Act passed were called “conspiracy theorists” at the time.

The copyreich above all.

I don't think the manufacturers want to open that can of worms. You do have a choice of different sounds on some cars. I think it's good that they all sound similar, making them more recognisable.

Old hybrids didn't have those sounds and they're dead quiet at low speeds which is creepy.

Until the insurers realise that your shipments of RAM are so expensive you need an armoured truck and police escort. The police escort will be paid with your tax money.

This system is in place in France and is extremely stupid and wasteful.

This is going to kill people since waiting times increasing for doctors aren't just some benign inconvenience. And contagious people will have an incentive to go to work as well, which is what happens in France and worsens epidemics, which actually costs way more than the mythical lazy person who calls in sick to play video games all day.

Are Germans going to fight back?

I also live in a country with very high tax and I'd need to make more than 120k USD per year to have the same standard of living if I lived in the USA. It's impossible to make that much driving trains and also working 40 hours a week in the US as far as I know. Lower tier blue collar work is even worse.

Low tax is for billionaires.

Even with GDPR requests there's zero guarantee they actually comply with deletion requests. They may decide to show something that may lead to think they have complied. That's it…

But don't worry social credit systems where you're barred from public transport is so dystopian only the Chinese do it.

The current designs are boring but good. Nature and birds would be good, people not so much.

Brands love to brag they're European but sell you Chinese tools, most of the time they're not even their own designs.

It's annoying that they don't have to be more transparent about this.

Probably more mobilization, people in the big cities are probably also seeming to be more worried so if even rumors of it start they may actually try to leave. For now from what I've seen and heard, they didn't feel like they were involved.

Beef is heavily subsidised either by giving money directly to the producers, or letting them get away with pollution (or deforestation in places like Brazil) and using terrible food and/or drugs for their product.

Without subsidies I'm pretty sure beef wouldn't be affordable even in rich countries.

In a lot of countries it is illegal.

France:

• vehicles above 3.5 tons longer than 7m: 50 metres distance minimum outside towns if cruising at the same speed (Code de la route R412-12 II)
• it's illegal to attempt overtaking if it would impede the flow of traffic and the relative speeds do not allow for overtaking within a sufficiently short time (Code de la route R414-4 II)
• a lot of busy roads have a sign forbidding overtaking for heavy vehicles, sometimes with specific times listed.

None of it is enforced so you should always expect to be cut off.

Also of note: whenever there are random checks of trucks by police they find around 50% in violation of important regulations like rest times and the administrative situation of a work vehicle. They willfully avoid checking too much because it would mean the means of transport for 85% of freight suddenly becomes way more expensive.

Companies who get good deals on them and only care about the financial aspect.

My sense of taste changed permanently and my sense of smell got way more sensitive to petroleum smells so cars burning oil, cars without catalytic converters, and most fuels smell way worse to me than they used to, to the point of making me feel sick pretty easily.

I couldn't smell anything at all for around 18 months. Citrus fruit tasted like fuel for a year or so. I still can't eat eggs because they always taste like they have gone off.

Possibly some other stuff got damaged but not as noticeably.

Self-cleaning and lubricating.
