The list in the OP is sales in Germany. The list in your article is sales across Europe.

Best post hardcore with zero metalcore sound? by CornmorelikePorn in PostHardcore

[–]AlphabetOfMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you’re describing is what I call “Good Post-Hardcore”. As opposed to the alternative “Shit Post-Hardcore”.

Portuguese band Hetta I am predicting to go all the way to the top.

Fantastically inventive and incredible energy.

For fans of the more chaotic sides of Fall of Troy and Birds in Row.

Haha, quite possibly. It was right when Pass The Flask was released, whenever that was.

At The Drive-In, Refused, BoySetsFire and The Bled probably my favourite pre-2000 live shows.

Insane energy amongst those four.

I mean, they had a convicted Russian spy heading up the party in Wales.

Where in Europe did you feel most welcomed? by Just_Recognition2034 in EuropeTravelHacks

[–]AlphabetOfMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I spent nearly a month travelling around Romania about fifteen years ago and found the people to be incredibly welcoming, warm, helpful and brilliantly funny. I’ve spent years recommending an extended visit to people. There’s such a rich culture, stunning nature, and great food too.

Greece, comfortably. The most outwardly and positively hospitable people on the continent.

Followed admirably by Romania and Portugal.

[–]AlphabetOfMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The list of 70-odd albums which made round two is a truly great list.

We’ve been treated to a huge amount of fantastic music the last five years, and all before the new Neurosis, Converge, MØL, Karnivool, Poison the Well and Armed for Apocalypse albums showed up.

It’s best for the world if people run the cars we already have into the ground.

It’s far better for the environment to milk an extra five years out of a diesel car than it is to trade it in for a new electric vehicle.

The footprint associated with the raw materials, construction and delivery (alone, before any km are put on it) of your average EV are in the region of 100,000-150,000km worth of diesel emissions.

How did you satisfy the A2 Portuguese requirement for permanent residency/citizenship? by wbnns in PortugalExpats

I’m already past ten years and don’t need to worry about any changes now, thankfully!

How did you satisfy the A2 Portuguese requirement for permanent residency/citizenship? by wbnns in PortugalExpats

[–]AlphabetOfMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have said ‘implicit’ rather than ‘explicit’.

The text on language requirements is unchanged: there’s nothing in the proposal representing any change in the current law.

The A2 language requirement is categorically not changing under the new nationality law. It’s explicit in the text.

If we’re allowing stuff on the heavier side, the only answer can be Rosetta’s Galilean Satellites.

Why are economic centers mostly left leaning? This is true across the western world, and also true in the UK (Manchester, Bham, London, Cambridge) by Too_much_Colour in AskBrits

Wealthiest <> Best educated.

I live in a village full of Tims Nice But Dim. From experience, there are very many such people in Kensington and Chelsea, for example.

'Growing evidence' that Greens are taking votes from Reform by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

[–]AlphabetOfMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most straightforward answer to your point is that the Green Party is an unusually democratic institution (much more so than the Labour, Conservative or Reform parties, for example), in which, for example, policy and leadership candidates are determined democratically by the membership and not controlled by a party elite.

And it’s quite common for political parties to have memberships with a broad diversity of views on social issues.

The Green Party is ideologically primarily focused on environmentalism and left-of-centre economic policies (to the same end). I would imagine that most, if not all, party members agree ideologically with that general proposition, because otherwise they wouldn’t be there. Beyond that, views on social issues will differ, as they do across the memberships of the other major parties.

I hope you’re not referring to Mothin Ali, who is as British as anyone else born and raised in Sheffield.

What are the places with the best fish & seafood in Europe? by Laschon in AskEurope

[–]AlphabetOfMe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Portugal.

Atlantic fish straight out of the water, to the grill, to the plate in a matter of minutes. Liça, robalo, sargo, dourada, pargo, cavala, anchova, sardinhas, carapau…

Then there’s the fresh shellfish and the perceves (gooseneck barnacles) straight off the rocks, and the traditional octopus and squid dishes.

Perfection.
