To answer your first question: the final decision in the usual naturalization process lies with the members of the community you live in. You can only apply for citizenship after you’ve lived x number of years (differs depending on which community you live in) in the same community to give them a chance to get to know…

Reminds me instantly of this scene in an old, old movie:

Truffles taste good, when done right and when done with proper truffles. But truffle powder is just garbage. Truffle oil and truffle butter are hit or miss - depends very much on the base ingredients used.

You consider an Audi a luxury car? Whyever that? Especially if you are buying used ones, they can be quite cheap. And I’d basically always prefer a good, used car to a crap new one.

To this I have to chime in. I have only once in my live eaten liver and it was delicious. It was grilled eel’s liver. Just tiny, tiny livers on a skewer, lightly grilled. V Tasty.

Difference of opinion from someone who is sometimes the one suggesting activities on the expensive side. If you tell me that you’d like to go, can’t afford it, it’s good for me to know that you’d be okay with me paying for the thing. Some people are offended when you offer to pay for them so it’s nice to know who has…

My only personal experience with their ranges is from Germany and partly Switzerland and even within Germany there are differences in what they have on offer. I’ve never heard of that ale, but it sounds lovely.

The Lidl prosecco tastes awful. As does the Aldi one.

Soo.... he’s trying to avoid the female version of this?

Here’s a pic of the difference in braiding technique for French and Dutch style. For me it’s never been cornrow, but always Dutch braid for that technique. Just as it’s a bit weird to me to hear that any number higher than 2 braids is called cornrow... I’m far from the US and it was very common to have 3-4 braids…

You can still test someone for TB even if they’ve had the vaccine. It’s just more expensive as you have to x-ray the lungs.
We had one pupil contract TB while I was in highschool and older teachers had had the vaccine. The test was always inconclusive so they were x-rayed. And no secondary infections at my school, just…

I’d just like to add that Switzerland’s healthcare system is entirely private and for profit, yet works. Very well in fact. So just because a healthcare system is not nationalized is no reason for it to fail as horribly as the US one.

We were a group of 8 in two cars and drove ourselves. The first 1-2 days were a bit weird but then everybody simply got used to it and it was fine. More difficult than driving on the left was later on driving on sand roads and other difficult terrain (we were on a self drive safari), but as long as you mainly stick to…

Botswana I’d add to see a lot of interesting animals in one of the national parks wheres Namibia I’d more go to because of the amazing countryside. We wen to the Victoria Falls last autumn from Joburg, but by car and took the long way. If you go more or less direct going by car is a good 2 day ride. Very interesting…

I’m going to go out on a limb that it uses a scaled down version of this Nail Art Kiosk, as both claim to use HP technology. For that one printing time is currently 1 second per individual nail or 2 seconds for a set of 10 artificial nails. Lasting time is a few days, like regular nailpolish. But, you need to prep…

He can officially call himself a Dr h.c. (honoris causa - so everyone knows he got this degree as a gift and hasn’t done any research or written a thesis or whatever). But yes, he is a doctor.

One of the reasons is that kale is a winter vegetable that needs frost to become non-bitter (and fat. and a bit of cooking time). It’s really weird to me that especially in the US people seem to think that kale is a year round thing when where I live it’s definitely seasonal.

... she made primarily clear that there would be no repetition of the 2011 haircut - which was a whopping 50%. And that she would insist on pacta sunt servanda alongside the majority of other EU nations, like, you know, normal international law. I’m a bit tired of her being painted as a villain in this scenario.

I’m not in the US - so, isn’t there a law where on the back of a product they have to state what it is made of? Like, if almonds are the name giving key ingredient, doesn’t it tell you the percentage?

The more energy thing was my main motivator to start working out in the morning. I just couldn’t cope with staying awake until the wee hours of the night if I did my sports thing after work. Plus, it’s out of the way and leaves my evenings free to do fun stuff with friends and family.
