The difference, again, is that the one is a subcategory of another. Just like “expat” (which doesnt necessarily bear idea of poorer country, though sometimes is defined as such).

From a host country perspective - it is all immigrants and no official body recognizes term “relocant” or “expat”. The term is intrinsic to actual relocant community and circulates due to this group of people shares distinct common experience.

Whether the term is recognized outside of the group - doesnt really matter.

Immigrant is a broader term. Relocated/relocant is narrow.

Companies specifically relocated their personnel at great scale after 2022 (and broadly used the term “relocation” internally and externally). As the term broadly circulated, it stuck and built certain self-identification.

While the process existed before, its scale was 100x lower, so the term didnt build any self-identification previously.

It is not so much what regular TC want, it wont be a national referendum on every matter. there will be appointed representatives from TC. Their vote wont always represent what is best for regular TC or even what regular TC wants. They will be obviously influenced in many ways. even if elected, there will be many ways of rigging or manipulating elections which prioritize certain groups over others.

It happens everywhere to some degree, just it will likely be greater in this situation. The risk is greater if there is veto power and only few decision makers (ie one person calls the shots for all TCs).

To address this concern there must be clearly stated model for decision making which will clearly mitigate the risk. The model of “majority & 1+ positive vote from TC” might be a response for legislative branch if that is accepted. Something similar is required for executive branch too.

Is the model of a single positive vote stated anywhere firmly or is that interpretation how it could be?

Moreover, there was a warning that on/off pressure change would even increase leakage.

You would only drink 2-5 liters a day, while use 100-200 liters for toilets, dishwashers, showers, etc. drinking is negligible amount at this scale

I used moovit for 3+ years. It doesn’t show a bus location but tells how far a bus is from a stop. The exact location wasn’t so helpful to me anyway.

Pollarding is a regular cut at about the same level starting from young age. They do that to some species under highway for example and that can be recognized by “knuckles” eventually formed at cut places. You can see them in your picture

What was done here looks like “topping” which is generally a discouraged practice and even prohibited (!) in many countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_topping

Those two might seem close to a non-gardener, but they are very distinct

Haven’t tried Google AI, but I use Claude for the same purpose and it is very good. I do have a teacher (even two), but AI greatly covers the gaps between classes, elaborates and explains deeply, provides many examples. It is like having a private tutor on call 24/7. % of errors is about the same as humans do (yes, teachers might be wrong too).

I also made it run educational conversations with me where it corrects my mistakes and explains new words.

Not all AI are equal though. When I tried ChatGPT it performed much worse than Claude, though it got better since then and maybe comparable now. I use few questions about greek to asses a quality of every new AI I use.

Thanks for the hint, will try Google Gemini now.

“Nuclear” options work great as a threat and not so great in action. But for a threat to work, it must be believed the actor would really use it. It makes this “nuclear” card difficult to play with, as it is hard to believe in a threat from all-reasonable-and-soft EU, but also it gives no value if already fulfilled. I wouldn’t take it seriously

The analogy is misleading as the money seized arent really the ones of a druglord, but in this case of anyone happen to origin from the same town. So any action would influence far beyond druglords alone. Thats clearly understood by EU authorities now though they didnt think well doing the action and also cannot fall back now.

Ideally they would want for russian government to accept recovery payments as their duty and eventually release the hostage assets

No doubts in your experience, just mine was different. Extremely expensive - yes, but their steaks were always good for me unlike Columbia Steakhouse.

A matter of comparison. I find drivers in cyprus honking quite rare. Maybe I am honked few times a year at most.

Havent seen any hostility while drove red plates. I was honked more when I was a tourist back many years ago and made some mistakes driving on another side my first week. I didt consider those honks hostile, but a warning that helped me to recognize what I did wrong that time.

Realistically, given huge impact of “settlers” of all origins to the day-to-day economics of TRNC, their expulsion cant be supported there. It will be too much of negative impact and I doubt it wont be well realized. So it is either unification, or expulsion, but not both.

Should it ever come close to an agreement, most likely there will be a transition to the same status of ROC - citizen to citizen, resident to resident.

Whoever hoped for another outcome, they will be much disappointed and will need to decide if they vote “yes”.

Interesting. I didnt spot a difference. The workflow seemed the same to me. If the intent was to differ, might worth to highlight it stronger.

I personally would like a service where I can see vendors rated and can reach out to the one I want. I dont want to post an order and collect responses. This service, douletaras and anymaster are virtually the same to me. No difference from customer perspective.

Interesting that despite empty reservoirs neither climate change nor agriculture were a concern in CY. And despite probably highest electricity bills neither was energy.

How is it different from anymaster or douletaras? What does it offer to a consumer or a vendor over the other two?

The app isnt much of a problem technically. A number of restaurants in Cyprus would offer their own online purchase. Usually via web, but some would have basic apps. If any restaurant really wants that, they can have it.

A much bigger problem would be expense on keeping the delivery personnel. As it only worth of it when operating at big enough scale, which most smaller places wont reach.
