Penny wise pound foolish. The only way not to go through the paper is to go through the rolls.
- Comment on You can't win the lottery 11 months ago:
The idea that it could happen is false hope though, because you’re buying into the idea that the chance is worth $5. The chance is so small it might as well be zero. So you’re way over spending.
If you were to put $5 in S&P 500 weekly it far more likely that you’ll have a profit of a few thousand on top of the money that you did not spend on lottery tickets (because you still own the stock). That’s not really as radically marxist as my previous comment might make me seem, but for your personal wallet it’s way better.

Ah, so not only false hope but also crushing class consciousness.
- Comment on A good deal of IT work, too 11 months ago:
I went to work in IT over half a decade ago without relevant credentials. Google taught me everything.
If only I could log in to the damn system.

I heard someone someone knew installed Linux on their grandparents laptop. That’s one way to volunteer your time.
Install an OS other family members know.

Maertro crowd isn’t so lucky. And rental companies don’t advertise this.

My point was that the EU cannot and should not protect non-citizens outside of the EU. The assumption being that OP does not hold EU citizenship or residency and is not in Europe.
- Comment on Requested a deletion over 2 months ago 1 year ago:
My response was to the sentiment below. They can’t protect non-EU citizens outside of the EU and why should they. I can see how the second sentence can be interpreted the way you did but that was not the intent.
It’s pretty sad that only EU seems to care about the privacy of its citizens.

What else can the EU do? They can’t force an American company to follow EU regulation outside of the EU.

Neither should the EU

I think it’s kind of healthy being able to spend time apart. My wife and I do it all the time.
- Comment on 66% of Americans say they want extended European-style vacation policies at work 1 year ago:
If you can be self-employed and don’t have EU citizenship, look into DAFT.

Very cool. Everybody should get that.
It’s not like you have to take August off in most countries either. You can do it whenever it suits you.
- Comment on 66% of Americans say they want extended European-style vacation policies at work 1 year ago:
They don’t tell you that here in Europe? You’re free to spend your PTO when and where you wish, usually under the condition you at least take the legal minimum days per year. Companies get fined if they don’t meet those limits.
There are usually restrictions about what requests employers can deny. Of course you can imagine some situations in which you can’t have everyone leave when they wish (healthcare/police for instance). Of course their are shitty employers that try to abuse the exceptions and get away with it.

Those explorers just brought them over after Columbus showed them where the tomatoes were.

The Italians took noodles from the silk road, tomatoes from Columbus, and pretended to have culinary heritage.
