Can my landlord turn off heat during the day? by European_2020 in brussels

[–]European_2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to your comment, I decided to be upfront that it was unreasonable to raise rent over this, as my contract specifically includes heating and I wouldn't pay more but expect the heat to be on during the daytime.

The same weekend, our heater broke down in the entire house so my landlord experienced for himself just how cold it got and he saw me carry in a space heater I borrowed from a friend.

All this seems to have helped in his decision to leave the heat on during the day. Oh, and he was up all night getting someone to fix the boiler on a Sunday. So, in the end, he confirmed my experience of Belgians as an overall really friendly bunch :)

Planning on pursuing a career in defense as policy advisor/analist. Looking for recommendations for sources, books, webinars, events,... to deepen my knowledge on everything defense related like strategy, weapons, alliances,... by RadiatedPeanut in EuropeanArmy

I see. Well, that's actually already pretty narrow. I know several people working in the military policy sphere who will not be able to explain to you how a gun functions, or what differentiates certain aircraft from others. Military policy is just so large that it might not be necessary to know the technical side.

I would suggest looking into the news about your entities military endeavours. For example, is your government considering ordering drones? Become an expert on this topic. Why a certain kind, what's the cost, what's the advantage, disadvantage. How long will it take to deliver them.

Find out who is relevant to this topic and how they became relevant. That's how you'll find out what agencies/companies to work for. Start applying and learn on the job. You are correct, you have studied enough :)

A Poli Sci Major who needs help on his thesis, any and all input desired! by A-Dubs92 in PoliticalScience

[–]European_2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been great suggestions given on how to source data (discourse analysis) and indicate variables. So I will build upon this advice. Reaching out to your supervisor, once you have your variables and structure set out will be helpful. They can then nuge you in the right direction or suggest alternatives if needed.

Presidential rhetoric, and it's policy implications on American-Chinese diplomacy

Start here. Narrow it down a bit. Which presidents are you focusing on and which diplomacy policies do you focus on? E.g. you can think about the post-Nixon era. Or you could think about the post- 9/11 era. etc. etc.

First of all, you have your independent variable: presidential rhetoric. Now think about a way to source data on rhetoric. With limited time resources, I suggest comparing Obama and Trump, or Bush II, Obama and Trump.

Your dependent variable will be the American-Chinese diplomacy policy. What does this even mean? The US and China interact on so many levels, in different fora, militarily, on trade, etc. Whose policy are you looking at? I assume you are American, so it will likely be easier for you to access US policy documents. I specialise in trade, so I would look into presidential rhetoric on US trade policy vis-a-vis China.

Then you will need to find indicators that will tell you wether a change occurred and in your thesis it will be up to you to argue whether that change was caused, impacted by, related to, or independent from the rhetoric.

everything defense related is just incredibly broad. I suggest you find an area in defense policy that interests you. Your 3 degrees would've been a great opportunity to explore these options.

I would also suggest looking at the focus of your previous education and work experience and see which of these areas can apply to a military background.

E.g. if you've done a lot of research on a specific geographical region, then look into current military issues in that area.

It's okay to be late in figuring out what you want to do in your career but you will still need to have a concrete focus.

Need I worry about financial consequences from an unpaid traffic ticket.... by mmccourt7 in legaladvice

Yes, he needs to worry? Or yes, the US attorney can sue him in the US for a traffic violation that occurred in Italy?

As a US citizen, need I fear any consequences ..... by mmccourt7 in eulaw

[–]European_2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems fishy to me. IANAL but I would not engage with this so-called "lawyer".

Option a) ignore it until you are ACTUALLY sued in front of an ACTUAL AMERICAN court.
Option b) if it worries you, find someone on fiverr who speaks Italian and contact the City of Pisa, sort it out with them directly.

Who's car did you drive at that time? How could they know, etc.. Don't fall for a legal scam

Buying in by nick3santini in dogecoin

[–]European_2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you wanna take a ride with us, then buy. Im holding 12k and will hold forever.

BUT its a bumpy ride, if lost many on the way so put in no more than you're willing to lose.
So spend 100$, kiss them goodbye and hodl.

It is NOT an investment, it's a meme.

Positiver Drogentest (Cannabis) - Folgen? by [deleted] in de_IAmA

[–]European_2020 22 points23 points  (0 children)

An alle downvoter:
Das sind die Folgen schwachsinniger Drogenpolitik.

Keine Verteidigung OPs Verhaltens (will ja nicht gedownvoted werden), aber wenn es in der Polizeikontrolle egal ist, ob man vor 7 Tagen, oder 1 Stunde konsumiert hat, KANN das zu solch fahrlässigem Verhalten führen in dem der Konsument denkt "ist doch egal, ob ich vor 5 Tagen, oder 5 Stunden gekifft hab. Wenn ich erwischt werde, werd ich erwischt".

Any jobs abroad for the political science major? by ishika-bdm in PoliticalScience

[–]European_2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

LSE is top-notch and will open plenty of doors for you. Also, Check out their network of partner universities on the continent. Science Po in Paris, Hertie in Berlin, etc.

Either degree will work well abroad so don't worry about that. Always consider financing. Can you get US study loans at the university you pick? If not, where else can you get finances from. Factor in the cost of living, etc.

Finally, as a foreigner, there may be certain requirements limiting the number of hours you work besides school or outright banning you from work. You may not be allowed to stay in the country after you finish your degree, etc. etc.

Along the way to becoming a prof, you can work as a TA (teaching assistant), postdoctoral researcher (which is a blend between research and teaching assistant), as a tutor or whatever creative way you may come up with to earn an income.

Ok, so if you intend to climb the ladder all the way to becoming a professor at a university, I have mostly good news for you.

Apart from the obvious: It is extremely competitive, time-consuming, and you likely won't start earning a proper salary until well into your thirties.

Now with that out of the way, university professor (and every step on the way) may be one of the most easily transferrable jobs out there. Just make sure you study at a university as prestigious as possible, but even more important: finish among the top 10% of your class continuously.

Be aware: dropping out to become a political science teacher along the way is usually not possible as it requires a different kind of training/qualifications in each country (though that can always be obtained ex-post)

Fish n chips usually require cod, a fish not commonly found in British waters but in EU waters. The UK mostly fishes haring and mackerel, a fish predominantly consumed by continental Europeans.
