Exactly this. I gave up on it once or twice (always starting from the beginning).

Eventually I got past the initial awkward phase and it became one of my favorite shows!

Just as a note: Wienerschnitzel is from Austria!

This is 90% just a proxy for how their parents will vote.

Its only a very small portion of kids that age who are going to have substantially different views than their parents (not that they don't exist!)

(Most) stocks represent partial ownership (read: control) of a company and most of their value is derived from that.

For an extreme example: if the stock price were to drop below the amount of money that could be made by just selling off all of the assets, then someone would (in principle) just buy all the shares, sell the assets and make a profit.

Each share represents a small bit of control over the company and their assets.

Personally I always always buy phones with two sim slots. It's super practical if you travel semi-often.

Idk about apple, but basically all of the mid-range androids have this feature. I guess this is about the US though, so it's probably Apple.

My credit cards I've had in Germany/Austria were all basically glorified debit-cards which had their own bank account attached to them. Technically I had a credit limit of a couple thousand, but I never went into the negative.

The only difference (for me at least) was that I could use them to rent a car, which is nice.

Yeah most of europe is waaaaay better when is comes to mobile plans compared to the US.

I don't use use that much data, but my 8gb plan is just under €6 per month.

In the US, I had a plan like this for over $30...

I can't check at the moment, but that sounds like something 'Simply Perfection' would be capable of.

It's essentially an addon specifically for tweaking the appearance of gnome stuff.

Nothing is preventing a business from building parking spaces though. It's just getting rid of the requirement to do so. It's essentially a free-market approach.

I think there are bigger issues wherever you are, in that there doesn't seem to be (enforced) parking laws. I see this pretty frequently in the Balkans, for instance.

The issue is basically that a lot of places people have this idea that, just because they own a car, they are entitled to a cheap/free place to park it. That type of incentive just leads to more and more people buying cars (and expecting a cheap place to park them) so it just makes the problem worse.

Trams are the best! I'll go out of my way to take a tram over a bus any day

They are just so much smoother

It's really fun! I picked it up yesterday and I've been playing on ky deck.

I will say that I usually prefer tower defense games with more 'linear' pathing (think bloons) but it's been a good time regardless.

It's not colonialism to prefer one culture (or certain cultural traits) to another. In fact, it's natural.

I've lived in a number of countries and each had their own distinct cultural norms. Each has had aspects which I perceived as either positive or negative.

Add it all together and I definitely have preferred certain cultures, not because they are "better" but because they more closely match my own preferences. Other people would prefer different cultural norms.
