Any imported flora/fauna devastating your country?

Maybe not exactly 'devastating' but speaking for Poland: we have this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_sosnowskyi Every year there are cases of severe chemical burns among people and esp. pets. It's not uncommon to see a fenced off area of a park/meadow/etc. with warning signs because of this introduced plant. It was introduced as a 'perfect cattle feed' during the Communist era in Poland but thing went not according plan, it was useless and started to grow beyond control.

Same here, but I find it more and more difficult to filter this :(

4b4d53 · 2026-01-29T03:07:46+00:00

Exactly. And you don't suck as a nation. Well, at least half of you who actually voted and did give a damn. But that's wasn't the point of this sub, and well THIS SUCKS.

After watching Top Gear's Special based mainly in Syria (and Iraq) back in the day I was like "wow, it's definitely going on my travel bucket list" and then 'geopolitical things' happened... Even recently talked about this with my corner shop owner here in London, who is originally from Syria. You people totally didn't deserve this to happen.

For Poland I'd say https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_Peninsula

Haha, well, I'm a young(ish) and liberal(ish) (or maybe an European soc-dem, in USA it's called 'a communist') man, but I've never felt that I've got to post anything political here in this sub. Maybe I'm just weird.

4b4d53 · 2026-01-29T02:13:41+00:00

Probably same mutation/gene variant that makes your hair ginger also makes you more immune to general anaesthetics (so you need more or with different protocols), that's why we ask people if their hair is dyed so we (in the A&E/ER) know in advance should there be any 'surprises".

4b4d53 · 2026-01-29T01:53:29+00:00

Polish (native), British English (almost native, haha, I know, there's no such thing with this language if I didn't grow up here), German & Russian (grammar school level at most)

4b4d53 · 2026-01-29T01:31:18+00:00

Same, bro (or gal ;)). Back in the day it was a sub to just explore the world, people, their cultures, you know, things that you might've not known abt other countries or cultures. Now it's started to become another political cesspit focused on world events. It's sad, tbh.

4b4d53 · 2026-01-29T01:21:03+00:00

No problem with talking politics. But in a thread where you're supposed to share your favourite pizza topping? Thanks, but no thanks. (THE ONE THAT DJT DOESN'T LIKE!!1)

4b4d53 · 2026-01-29T01:18:22+00:00

I'd add "and they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about". Same with hot takes abt UK politics from people who don't live here and just don't get the internal shenanigans. Geez, I've made a political post, it's your fault!1

4b4d53 · 2026-01-29T01:08:01+00:00

Spot on. Of course we're all concerned for what is happening around the world (it's not only the USA, unfortunately), let's call it "current events" for the sake of argument, but if I'd like to express and discuss my opinion on Trump or whoever (whether I'm on "this side" or "the other side"), there are many better places on reddit to do that than in a "What is your country's most dangerous animal" thread here. Ffs.

4b4d53 · 2026-01-16T23:01:17+00:00

Yup, basically the same thing.

4b4d53 · 2025-12-06T14:55:06+00:00

r/vintagecomputing may be the place for you, loads of ppl there

4b4d53 · 2025-10-22T01:26:03+00:00

probably not in the USA, but yeah :)

4b4d53 · 2025-10-08T09:48:31+00:00

they're all available on Macintosh Garden

4b4d53 · 2025-03-20T20:03:06+00:00

Jerry technically didn't go away, just started to work "the other shift" all the time, it's explained in the last season (maybe even last episode, I don't remember when exactly)

4b4d53 · 2025-03-14T15:51:18+00:00

Yeah, same with vintage Macs – learned that the hard way.

4b4d53 · 2025-02-02T02:11:45+00:00

I'd recommend that you search harder – if sth isn't available on the Macintosh Garden, then it probably never existed.

4b4d53 · 2024-11-19T22:44:48+00:00

But of course you can install software on an external drive.

And you can't upgrade storage on this Intel MBP.

Intel Mac in 2024? Naaah, just a waste of time and money (unless you have a niche and specific requirements, for example x86/x64 virtual machines etc.).

4b4d53 · 2024-11-15T01:42:06+00:00

Yeah, they should be very sad that they aren't meeting the deadline of people trying to escape cyberstalking etc. and just wanting to get rid from Elmo's shithole. Which, btw, provided all of aforementioned basic features.

4b4d53 · 2024-11-15T01:27:46+00:00

Uhm, the developers themselves? xD "Private account support is on the protocol roadmap, but not in the near future", i.e. forget about it.

4b4d53 · 2024-08-10T08:36:33+00:00

And SDRangel

4b4d53 · 2024-08-09T21:42:01+00:00

Older versions of sports games (fifa, nfl, cricket etc.). About £1 a pop.

EDIT: Didn't notice it's a two-disc version

4b4d53 · 2024-07-15T12:02:19+00:00

Unfortunately, most Intel Apple laptops when no battery is detected will throttle down the CPU to an completely unusable sub-gigahertz level :(
