    Random Raves #39: Life is good

    That makes sense. :) I think there weren't any in cities, but there weren't them in other NATO-countries we crossed either. This was was also funny, usually when you entered a motorway:

    Random Raves #39: Life is good

    The signs weren't, the speculation of their origins was. Here's a picture from Google: We drove through Poland in June, and the drivers were sort of terrible at first, but once you got used to them, it was pretty ok. They didn't adhere the rules as strictly as Finns do, but were much...

    Speaking of which: what are the panzer traffic signs in Poland? It's like they were offended by the unruly driving by German and Soviet tanks, and have now signs for them.

    Random Rants ': No, YOUR thread titles suck!

    Well, there are unplesant qualities associated to gonads, there were probably more of them when hygiene wasn't in fashion. Still makes more sense than the order for someone to go and fornicate himself. What does that even mean? Masturbate? Isn't that a nice thing? Besides, how an order can be an...

    Random Rants ': No, YOUR thread titles suck!

    Sorry, if someone is insulted by this, but Americans really seem to be into incest. I don't know any other culture wherein you can be someone's daddy "in a sexual way". And it doesn't stop even here, there's "sexy mommies" and in love songs the object of love may be sister... It's highly weird...

    Is Britain about to leave the EU?

    AFAIK UK can negotiate trade deals right after they've announced leaving the EU. The results of the negotiations just won't take place before the two years have passed.

    Italian law could criminalize vegan diets for children

    Wouldn't it be easier and more accurate to just take action on people who feed their children poorly? It's like you'd investigate if Audi drivers speed more than others and then ticketing them for driving Audi. If someone's vegan for ethical reasons this question shouldn't matter...

    Is Britain about to leave the EU?

    That's not correct. After the announcement of brexiting the union is made they have two years time to negotiate the deal. After that UK simply isn't part of EU anymore, no matter what kind of deal they have in place, if any.

    The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXX

    HTML has probably something suitable too. If you can't yet write it, you'll get started just by beginning a paragraph with <p> and ending it </p>. And then you need to find how to collapse stuff. It could pay off if you use the end result often. EDIT: Check this out.

    Matt Damon-Prince Oberyn movie about The Great Wall

    Lost Roman legion in China? This must be written by CFC World History.

    Maybe, but I'd guess the onions they use are fried until they are sweet. I didn't mind that kind of onion wither when I was kid, and often didn't even spot the onion in food unless it was relatively raw. Btw., A&W doesn't enjoy the same status of being globally known that McDonalds does. At...

    How to get a job (or not)

    Don't do the collections job, mr. Fish. You'll never come across with a happy customer.

    Life without coffee would be pointless and miserable. :( Since it's the raves thread, I rave for consuming half a litre of it some moments ago. :)

    Isn't it usual that kids don't like onions, but learn it when they become older? The same thing with e.g. blue cheese or beer.
