Well yes - I don't think it's a stretch to say that legislation is our best hope here. Not in my country, mind you, where I guarantee you that all we will get is lip-service to privacy, data protection, etc.

Hey it looks like some other guy didn't help you much. I'm not going to help much either but I'd imagine that if your model has any kind of smart infotainment type of thing then it's probably being tracked. I mean, from a business perspective, why wouldn't you? It'd be lovely to have systems that allow you to navigate, take photos, listen to music, contact friends...without spying on you. Sadly, I don't think companies see such things as being in their interests.
If you do find a list anywhere, I'd be interested to know. I don't have a VW - just a petrol ford focus, but I imagine that my data is being collected in much the same way as this.
Could you elaborate on this comment? Seems like the person before you went to a mostly black school/college and so has experienced being part of a segregated society/community. Are there areas that are less segregated or not at all? For context I am from the UK, where we have some integration but still quite high levels of segregation; I live in the southeast, in an area which is over 95pc white British, but there are other areas with much higher populations of other races/nationalities (Bradford, in the north midlands, is around 25pc Pakistani, and only a little over 50pc white British).
Did you/do you live in an area that isn't or doesn't feel segregated?
As someone else said, there are some difficult ones that require climbing gear (which reminds me of playing various MMOs) - one in my town is about 15m up a large tree!
No idea.
It's a lovely name! What I really want to know is, is it still pronounced like "Croatia"? In my mind you could kind of do it like "Hro-vaisha" maybe? Maybe someone who knows tha answer will show up!
Pretty sure it is actually just the longest international border in the world. I guess Chile and Argentina might be close, maybe Russia and somewhere, but USA Canada I reckon is the longest.
Agree - have previously fixed a wooden bed frame to drywall using 4 such anchors with no problems. Not as daft as it sounds - it was probably only supporting 20% of the bed and the weight on it, so unlikely to reach 100kg even with 2 people in/on the bed!
I teach at a secondary school in the UK, in a classroom with no external windows (but with air quality monitors). After 1 hour of 30 teenagers the co2 will be at around 2000-2500ppm which I can confirm is stuffy. Highest I've seen is in the next door classroom which made it up to 3800ppm back in the summer.
It really does make you (and the kids) feel really dopey, so not exactly ideal.
Not sure if you mean per year but mortgages are generally going to be over much longer time periods. A couple who I know are looking to buy somewhere new and are looking at getting £400k mortgage or thereabouts. With rates as they are now, and over 25 years, they'll end up paying back £900k!
Not sure this comment deserves downvoting. As a teacher (UK) I get 13 weeks off a year, which is pretty much all time off (no expectation to prep/mark). Private sector friends tend to get around 4-5 weeks max. Similarly, the pension is far better than private sector pensions.
Whilst I might be able to change career for more money, I'm not sure it would be a net benefit, even for 50% more.
That said, the "work time" as a teacher is fairly full on, at around 55-60 hours a week for me, so that's some form of trade-off. You do have to like doing it!

Hey, sorry for the slow reply. I like doing the dishes too so this post resonated with me. At the moment our boiler (US: furnace?) is playing up though so I have to repressurise it every time. Cheers for posting!
