The budget doesn’t matter, it only matters that you show a strong stance regarding hand-outs, so your voters feel you’re not wasting tax money.

Regarding 1, in the Netherlands there’s a rather (in)famous family of lawyers named Moszkowicz (different spelling, same name?), which are of Polish-Jewish heritage.

The link is correct, but direct linking is blocked for some reason. If you go to the link from here you will get the article.

We use rince aid for dish washing machines. Works great.

Not really shocking, but very well outside of the jurisdiction of MI5 and an abuse of power by the politicians.

A person I know used to work as a nurse in an operating room, stuff like this happens more often than you’d think. I haven’t heard an eggplant mentioned by them though.

There’s no rye bread with herring in your photo, the Danish don’t eat that? The Dutch do, topped with some chopped onions. Though my kids don’t like rye bread, it is getting old fashioned over here.

Damn, after reading the first paragraph I really tought this was going to include masturbation by insertion of an eggplant. Now I’m a little disappointed to be honest.

1. Make sure you can’t see a clock at night. Not knowing how late it is will stop your mind from going over at least one detail, how much time you have left to sleep.
2. Get a notebook next to your bed so you can write things down if something urgent comes up in your mind. If you’re like me, changes are you’ll never write down anything.
3. Try to not think about anything for 10 seconds or better 10 breaths. No toughts whatsoever.
4. If everything fails, have a book or e-reader ready, so you can relax while reading for a bit. Nothing with LCD screens though, they tend to wake you up even more.

I should have specified that I mean the x-files type of UFO’s, containing aliens.

At this rate with this mentality, we are going to have photo “evidence” of bigfoot and UFO’s before 2030.

No idea really.

It’s the same word on paper, but pronounced different. Italians tend to speak the vowels longer, with a slightly different sound (the “a” in American sounds like an “uh”, in Italian like a long “ah”). They also speak out both t’s separately.

Pronounciation differs in Italian, so when they mispronounce, it probably wont’t sound like their American counter parts.

This one. I don’t like the other things you mention. I did join a sub reddit on the topic years ago, but it was awful. Full of people who didn’t know anything of the subject, but were very willing to downvote.

Not all gay people engage in anal sex.

These are the same people who would condemn gays.

Not for me. Take in consideration that I don’t do a lot of shopping. Two of the maybe four times times I used a self check-out last year;

1. So I go to the self check-out. One of my items is on clearance. I scan it. It shows full price. turns out I needed to scan a different bar-code for the clearance. However, I can’t remove the already scanned bar-code from the list, so now I need to call assistance.
2. My kids drink a lot of coke zero, so when it goes on sale I usually buy a lot of it. In this case, I took all that’s left in the store. I scan one bottle, do a quick count and adjust the number of bottles accordingly. I place the bottle in my cart and realize I’ve counted one too many. I can’t take it off, and now need to call assistance.

I was among the last to get drafted (I’m 48). After my year they stopped drafting, but they never cancelled the draft bill.

I just hope no wars will be started over here (western Europe) in the next ten years, so my sons won’t get drafted.
