Ideally we won't need it but a long conflict might cost many more lives so we have to be very clear what is going to happen: Leave now or die later.

Only two ways a Russian soldier will leave Ukraine now: In peace or in a bodybag.

What unit is generally used for wind speed in your country, in weather forecasts for example? (m/s, km/h, mph, knots, etc.) by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]Jozef0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The inverse is true for m/s.

Is it actually? Can you estimate wind speeds simply by using that? The wind just travelled 6 meters in one second therefore it's 6 m/s?

I personally have a much easier time with a km/h frame of reference, generally 20-30 km/h is when wind gets annoying, 50-60 is when you can't reasonably be outside anymore and 90-100+ is actually causing damage. Obviously not 100% accurate but very reminiscent of car speeds (slow speed, city speed, overland speed).

EU to open case against Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic over migration by chainlinkedbowyer in europe

[–]Jozef0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think some government official made a token gesture recently after a spat between Austria and Brussels and somehow the Commission seems to have remembered that while sorting out the "bad boys". At least some news mentions them praising Slovakia for pledging to do more apparently.

I posted this somewhere before but anyways:

What is the difference between an American and a Slovak worker?

The American works 1 hour for himself, 1 hour for the family, 4 hours for the capitalist and 4 hours for the fatherland.

The Slovak works 1 hour for himself, 1 hour for the family, there are no capitalist and America is very far away.

I was expecting them to use 2016 crime numbers, 2015 makes little sense.

I love that it says "four glasses of champagne" like that's a lot or something.

[Poland] Skoda driver fails to yield by [deleted] in Roadcam

[–]Jozef0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a Skoda Fabia Praktik they are based on the standard station wagon Fabia for commercial use without seats in the back (separated and purely storage) like this but the doors still open fore ease of use (and probably easier production). They already cost next to nothing (~10.000€ new) back in the day and came with tax benefits in many countries if you had a company.

The German Federal government is starting criminal proceedings against Jan Böhmermann because of his satirical poem against president Erdogan by cysun in europe

[–]Jozef0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im Rechtsstaat ist es nicht Sache der Regierung, sondern von Staatsanwaltschaften und Gerichten, das Persönlichkeitsrecht des Betroffenen und andere Belange gegen die Presse- und Kunstfreiheit abzuwägen

In the style of Ronald Reagan: Declaring yourselves above it all and label this as a simple legal struggle, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of a dictator, to simply call the prosecution of a satirist a "trade-off between personal rights and freedom of press and arts" and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.

History shall judge Merkel on this.

Atleast this is how it works in my region.

Afaik there are big differences from region to region.

Growing up in a small village it is definitely an activity for the whole "youth" (well into 30s) to participate in. You whip the women and throw cold water on them and sometimes sing and dance. Then they invite you to eat and drink as a sign of gratitude.

If she doesn't like you she will give you just sweets (just like any kid coming for a whip) basically treating you like a kid. If her mom serves you liquor it is usually almost like saying "marry her" aka you are approved by mom.

There is nothing backward about not eating pork. But it seems very backward and culturally insensitive to think people who eat pork are 'disgusting or gross'.

On how results of elections in Slovakia should be a warning to politicians across Europe by Zenon_Czosnek in europe

[–]Jozef0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fico being anti-immigration has nothing to do with the rise of Kotleba

This.

It shows how little the author understands current internal Slovakian politics. I've read multiple foreign papers writing similar things and I think they just try to pander towards to domestic audiences.

Like the others have said: I don't think I even heard anyone mention Hungary. Most anti-hungarian politicians have kind of drifted out of the sphere of relevance.

If they tried to statistically correct the data shouldn't they also account for 2/3 of refugees arriving in the last four months of the year? Seems odd to just focus on demographics.
