I've been in Prague for 10 years and never came across any kind of scam.

Also, prices have gone up a lot in recent years, it's not that cheap anymore.

In many cases, you have to disable the privacy setting (hops) to be able to download anything. Probably because it still hasn't attracted a lot of users.

They switched from a client application to a web interface in a recent update, which I'm not a fan of (mainly because I'm blocking right click hijacking in my browser).

It's nice to add an extra layer of security, imo, but I wouldn't rely on it completely if you're in one of those countries where ISPs don't respect your privacy.

Just got some from a vending machine in Spain. Also in France some time ago. Pretty sure they're all over. Only difference is that Germany really has them everywhere.

Het was de enige dag in het jaar dat alle buren buiten kwamen en het wat gezellig was in de straat. Er waren altijd wel mensen die er flink in investeerden en wij hadden allemaal wel wat klein vuurwerk. Het lijkt me maar triest, een oud en nieuw zonder vuurwerk.

I prefer one L in traveling. There's an unstressed shwa sound and it makes no sense to double the consonant after. It almost implies the stress falls on the vell part.

They were. I remember going to a shop with my father to spend his checks before the banks phased them out. Even I had a checkbook that came with my children's bank account.

I think the phasing out happened in the 90s but apparently banks still accepted checks until 2021.

Yeah it's mostly Indian recruiters. Just hear them out when they contact you. They actually need people. When I apply for vacancies, I got nothing. Never heard about payback schemes or anything.

I'm normally not very lucky. Maybe it helps to look like you're not that interested?

In-person interviews are not a thing anymore since the pandemic, from what I've seen. LinkedIn is the place to go. Recruiters will schedule a call and they'll usually remind you an email is on the way.

I don't want to work. I want to take a year off. Yet, I got a job interview and I'm not even looking.

or for the selfish reason that it would make your socioeconomic situation more difficult?

No. My kid will grow up in a bad place and I won't have time to spend with it. I don't have a pet for the same reasons.

Population growth is not my main concern. If I have to live in a filthy city, work full-time and barely have money to support myself, I don't see why I should consider having a child.

People that don't want children usually think of the potential wellbeing of a future human. People that do want children, usually do so for selfish reasons. It makes sense people who think of environment or other people are more lefties.
