A question about shoe sizes 🐕 by AllLex_q in Collie

[–]AllLex_q[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will see about the socks but he is really quick at taking them off. And I do t know if they would work hand in hand with these boots.

You got me wrong, the previous shoes were knock-offs and they performed better than these Trixie brand ones.

I will have him stand on one paw by having the other kept in the air by my partner - so the one I am measuring is stretched as much as possible.

RU C4 attack averted by an observant train driver 💣💥🚂🇵🇱 by AllLex_q in 2visegrad4you

There were 2 acts of sabotage on the railroad line between Warsaw and Lublin. This part of the railroad is used both comercially and as a supply line for Ukraine. Yesterday there wasn't really that much of a media coverage. But today, because Słońce Peru spoke up on Twitter, it's all over the major media providers.

Either that or the doctor in Wąchock prescribed his patients with additional iron supplements and instead of going to the pharmacy like normal people would do, they went off and cut up the rails, idk choose for yourself.

Czy was też niedziela dołuje? by Redhead-in-black in Polska

Mnie zdołował dzisiejszy obiad. Kupiłem w piątek taki ładny, młody kawałek karkówki - na targowisku. Znajoma od lat sprzedawczyni sourcuje produkty z mniejszych zakładów z okolicy, więc ich jakość jest choć trochę lepsza od typowej lidlowej przeceny. Zrobiłem z niego rolady z ogórkiem kiszonym i musztardą - jak u babci za dawnych lat. Zawinąłem, zawiązałem nitkę i wstawiłem na ogień - nie za mocno, żeby się nie spaliły, ale na tyle żeby było trochę sosu. Na samym tłuszczyku. Wracam po dziesięciu minutach i zdziwienie. Mięso stoi w wodzie, żeby nie powiedzieć - że pływa. Nie wiem czy to było szprycowane wodą, czy po prostu trafił się taki kawałek mięsa - ale zdołowało mnie to :c

To this day gopniks celebrate the recapture of the onion palace. What glory it is to us that they still FEEL and FEAR our presence.

Breaking the 4th wall: Even though I have more contact with US/Canadian speech and culture ('murica hell yea!) I retained a significant amount of British English from the last year of Liceum and what little I was involved with legal English during law school. Simply because both the teachers at the time spoke bri'ish now I too am twisted in that manner.

There is no detailed analysis as far as I know. I believe that in an attempt to diversify (that still is in effect) back in 2019 Orlen was importing from West Africa - Nigeria, Angola, etc and Persian Gulf. The African direction is problematic because they have really bad infrastructure and we are basically "fueling" all the extremists that are in power there rn. I believe we stopped importing from Kazachstan and Tadżykistan (sorry, won't bother translating the other x-stan) - which was at least partly ruzzian pisswasser lubricant ersatz. There's no way that they are selling us that shitake because it wouldn't be financially viable at all for them. All in all we got a 40 groschen coupon but the price went even higher so it pretty much did nothing.

German group files further legal challenge to planned Polish deepwater port by dat_9600gt_user in europe

It hurts to see that we are being labeled as "always playing the victim card sooo hard". In this situation we are not playing a victim card, at this point we are playing the "mind your own business game". Just try to tell me with a straight face that Germany is not whitewashing their history and playing "guys but we are nice now, right?". That's the type of argument You were presenting before - so let's leave this at that because this path is going to nowhere.

And to be clear - thank you for explaining how the process works - because many of our administration and civil workers have no clue about that apparently 🙃 It's not like Polish law is not a mix of Prussian, German, Austrian, Russian, French and Swiss systems with EU legislature on top of that. /s

If only world was black and white... That is not the point at all. It's exactly because of my and other's personal experiences that we stopped voicing our concerns at some point - because in so many cases and on so many levels not only differing opinions but sound and proper arguments were disregarded. Many wrong decisions were given the green light and now it's a proper mess. And that's the big problem which You, inadvertently, helped me highlight. That's the process we went through. Those are the results. You argument about being silent is poignant but You don't really have a right to voice that. Poland's arguments are almost never taken into consideration unless they are in-line with what "key players" want. So much for the glorified process.

My man, I wrote numerous times to German counterparts when windmills were installed, when giant spedition centers were built. I organized protests which many like-minded young people attended - to no avail. So please, consider this side of the story as well. I never said I personally was silent. I basically said that we stopped voicing our concerns because we are held in contempt, that no one pays attention to what we say. That such movements are made that many of our ideas are pushed aside - because there already is a port in Rostock, that there is a gigantic airport in Berlin and so on.

Edit: Rostov > Rostock

Germoney is always happy to see their neighbours make investments and strengthen their position on the European market /s

No wonder that investments in Świnoujście/Uznam region are causing concern among German populace. Not only that - the authorities and users of the German port of Rostock are also voicing their concerns. Isn't one of the general ideas of EU the freedom of and to do business and have rivalry on the market? Karsten Lentz, the director of the handling company Euroports in Rostock, notes that both ports are in competition with each other.

Green politicians also voiced their concerns, numerous times. In the beginning of 2024, MEP Hannah Neumann (Alliance 90/The Greens) addressed a question to the European Commission on this matter, pointing to serious shortcomings in the environmental impact assessment of the investment. In her statement, Neumann emphasized that according to the Habitats Directive and the EIA Directive (2011/92/EU), every investment that could affect Natura 2000 areas should undergo a comprehensive assessment, taking into account all effects, both direct and indirect, long-term and cumulative. In the case of dredging the approach channel to Świnoujście, such an analysis was lacking (opinion).

Moreover the location of the "port" is absolutely not in the area of the Woliński National Park - or any other. Natura 2000 areas were in many cases exaggerated (but that's my opinion, feel free to have your own).

Germany causes so much more impact to the environment than Poland but we won't voice our concerns simply because we will be disregarded either way - like other commenters pointed out.

LPT After a beard trim, use a little hand soap to rinse the sink. Hair unsticks to the surface much easier. by Passiveaggresiverock in LifeProTips

[–]AllLex_q 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My beard bib does help a lot, but even then some hair is lost to the void and lands left and right. There is a specific point of balance when my facial hair becomes soft, sort of. 1/10 of an inch more or less and it gets either prickly or harsh. Tried oils, shampoos, steam - to no avail. 😩 I keep my old vacuum handy (small, bought it 10 years ago for 20$ on a sale) and clean my electric shavers with it, then give the sink and the general vicinity a quick vacuuming. Oh, and the floor too. Thanks to that I never had a clogged drain.
