Counting too difficult for you?
I won’t ever visit that shithole of a country either. I live 9 ranks above the US according to the UN Human Development Index, although I’m sure that gap will widen with president Cheeto at the helm.
I sure hope not. Sodium nitrite is one of the ‘problematic’ compounds and is used when curing meat, especially to prevent the bacteria that produces botulinum toxin from growing. While nitrites may kill you slowly, botulism can kill you much faster.
The problem with food that contains the botulism bacteria is that you don’t notice it. It doesn’t look or smell any different. Any meat that wasn’t cured using a specific minimum percentage of sodium nitrite is not to be trusted.
But isn’t your sample biased because you’re a repair tech? People with working appliances don’t call you.
How often do you encounter, for example, a broken Miele washing machine?
Same, but for me it’s the turn-based combat. So tedious.
I’m pretty content with Apple Music
Adding this to the very, very, very long list of reasons never to have children.
Fortunately there is a 100% natural plant based alternative to vaping.

In the US it’s cheap but unregulated
It’s the exact opposite actually.
US sunscreen is way worse than sunscreen in other parts of the world like the EU. It doesn’t block the harmful radiation as well. The reason is that it’s more strictly regulated in the US. IIRC it’s not considered a cosmetic product but instead it’s a medical product.
As such it’s subject to much stricter regulation and requires much more (expensive) testing before being allowed on the market. Due to this it’s considered too expensive to introduce the newer, more advanced sunscreen products in the US so you’re stuck with the older, crappier sunscreen.
Here in the Netherlands it’s expensive as well. Like a small bottle of name-brand sunscreen is €30.
I see flirting as banter to make sexual/romantic intentions known.
That’s basically what it is. It’s not there to make someone develop feelings, it’s a way to safely make your feeling known and see if they are reciprocated. It’s basically lowering the risk of rejection, if the feeling isn’t mutual and you don’t get a response you can just write it off as a harmless flirt. If (s)he flirts back you can dial it up a notch.
To add to this: The EU is developing this and it’s supposed to be available to all EU citizens at the end of 2026. From that time government services should also be able to accept it. (Not sure if they’re going to make it, the standards are still under active development).
It’s all based on OpenID Connect (OIDC). Everything is being developed in the open, as open source software. You can find the github project here.
If you want to take a look at the draft standards themselves, search for OpenID4VCI (standard for issuing of credentials to a wallet) and OpenID4VP (standard for presenting credentials to 3rd parties).
It may depend on local laws. Here the total weight of the combination (car + trailer) with a B+E driving license is 7000Kg, and 3500Kg for a car. That means you can have a van with 3500Kg capacity plus a 3500Kg trailer. So naturally there are vans that are built to match the max spec.
most vans are limited to around 750 kg, whereas trucks typically offer much more. Mine can tow up to 3000 kg.
Yeah that’s bullshit. Vans that can do the max of 3500kg are common as fuck. You probably looked at the wrong spec. 750kg is the max for a trailer without brakes, regardless of type of car. There are usually two numbers on the spec sheet, one for max towing weight for unbraked trailers and one for braked trailers.
What game? I provided a direct link to the info you need.
You’re just mad because I’m pre-empting your bullshit. You ask ‘what country’ and then plan to go blabbing about how that country sucks and how much better the US is. You know just as well as me that the US is shithole by pretty much every metric.
Crazy levels of violence, poverty, inequality, shitty standard of living unless you’re super rich, etc.
