You are actually the heart of this community :)

Oh, no. 52 now. Now even you can’t undo the damage 😜

Two months of training and a possibility for alternative civil service are by no means comparable to what military service meant in the 20th century. As someone grown up then, I see this as acceptable. Some sort of civil service certainly makes sense to me.

За няколко седмици през лятото, ама пак е нещо. Важното е, че огромното болшинство ТЕЦове са аут.

Ето самой стабильной FOSS+federated форум. На хоризонте piefed - восходящая звезда.

They have similar Russian meddling issues like the US, but fortunately Romanian institutions do not sit on their hands as their US colleagues turned out to do.

Maybe a good part of these 35% would complain about whatever the outcome?

But what makes Antonescu say this:

I am caught between the shallow demagogues who will ruin my Romania, and the agents (including Mr. Dan) with ties to the former communist secret police, the Securitate, who, with help from many well-meaning people, have been damaging this country for 20 years,

Is it just political envy or is there substance behind the claims of a fading out politician?

Don’t trust me, see The Independent then. Jokes aside, thanks for the correction, I’ve always been unsure which one it is.

Sorry, but is anyone here claiming that this “mental labor” is quantifiable? If so, would sound absurd to me.

This is drifting off, but number of visits is not an indication of healthcare success. Perceived improvement could be.

I understand you’re fine with measuring everything in revenue. Fortunately, human happiness and satisfaction are not measured in dollars.

I’m working in software. Don’t tell me that I’m more productive when I work in finance than when I work in social services. Because that’s what the numbers show. It’s just that in finance your work generates more revenue and gives you a bigger salary. That’s what productivity measures. And people in many places around the world, including Southern Europe do not really care about revenues as long as they have enough to live well. That’s how they end up with lower “productivity”. Of course in other sectors it’s not ai immediate, but it is the same. If you are a farmer and sell to your community, you’re not productive. If you export to retail chains you’re very productive.

Thanks for putting the effort to detailing this.

I agree for the rest, but wait to see how automotive failing to reform itself will lead to much much higher unemployment in the South of Germany.

I have nothing against Germans or automotive. I have a lot against local feudals and communities that are fine with them as long as they can call themselves a working class. If your slave owner is richer than someone else’s this doesn’t really make you richer, you are still as dependent as a slave.

So working 50% distorts the data by reporting 50% of the hours?

I didn’t think football hooligans are the ones bribing judges. At least in Bulgaria it’s actually the secret services that keep them on a leash for dirty jobs.

This sounded ambiguous, but at the end services keep both hooligans and judges, so I’ll leave it this way.

What worked very well in the UK was banning convicted offenders from entering stadiums.

Hey, actually, your point is very good. I also ha doubts what do they mean as the region. But yes, I think the context is that the earthquake you talk about was very far and in a different geographical region, even if still in Turkey.

The facility claims that the sand on its beach is “clean enough.” Another resort in the village of Vityazevo, near Anapa, is preparing to receive children with respiratory conditions. Treatment guidelines call for swimming in the sea.
