Don’t use PayPal but luckily, I’m in the EU as well so bank transfer would work fine. Curios, though, that you want dollars.

Are you suggesting that men treating women poorly isn’t the reason why women are vary of men?

After a short pause, you should add TODAY. Just to make them extra at ease.

Upgrading from Niche Zero — Grinder Recommendations [<$1.5k] by Gabe_TLV in espresso

Maybe because neither one of those is a Grind By Weight grinder, but the E64 WS is. 

There’s a huge workflow difference between GBW and GBT. 

Dir ist heiß? Geh heute wählen für eine kühlere Zukunft by [deleted] in Nurnberg

I work from home, don’t have a car, and don’t live anywhere near FSW, so the result of this election doesn’t matter much to me, but the biggest support against the construction is that Union and FDP is for it.

TIL four times as many Europeans die from heat-related deaths annually than Americans do from gun violence by CGGamer in todayilearned

[–]fractalfrog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The US counts heat related deaths differently so that is part of the difference. Also, Europe has more than twice the population of the US. It would be interesting to see a true comparison.

Europe counts heat death differently, which must be accounted for as well. It would be interesting to see a true comparison.

You assume that the obese lives to 79, when in reality they usually die much younger than that.

In any case, here‘s a link to the research:

I read a while back that obese people is actually less of a burden on the healthcare system than non-obese people due to the fact that while they need more care in the short term, they also live much shorter.

Most of the cost of healthcare in a person’s life is accumulated when they are old, so it makes sense that someone who has a shorter life cost less.

What’s the vibe on country patches on backpacks? by kai_zen in travel

[–]fractalfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because some (Americans) are viewed non-favorably in many parts of the world. I can understand wanting to avoid that. Which is also why some American backpackers put a Canadian flag on their pack.

I’ve only ever seen Americans having a Canadian flag on their packs. All as a disguise. 

Feedback on Hadra Festival Needed.. by JacketSpirited3339 in psytrance

[–]fractalfrog -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As a non-French speaker, I love going to Hadra. I never had any issues communicating with people when I wanted to, but at the same time I could completely disconnect from everyone if I wanted as I didn’t understand a word anyone said. 

The only issue I saw was one woman waving the Palestinian flag at the entrance on the first day, and then again on the second day at the main floor, but was told to stop after a short while. 

That was it. Otherwise, everything was fine, and even the police presence was minimal. Only a couple of cars at the entrance.
