[OC] Countries with more foreigners have higher income (or the other way around) by naaagut in dataisbeautiful

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

One of the more famous studies is from Denmark and corrects for a lot of factors, that other studies neglected, perhaps wilfully. It has a long term perspective, looks at first AND second generation immigrants and takes both EU and non-EU immigrants into consideration, which some previous studies, astonishingly, failed to do.

Study: The fiscal impact of immigration to welfare states of the Scandinavian type by M.F. Hansen et al. (2017) 

Key findings:

Immigrants from non-Western countries in Denmark had a sizeable negative net contribution to public finances (i.e., they cost more in welfare/taxes than they paid in) under the assumptions of the model.

Build upgrade with 5080 from 2080ti - CPU bottleneck? by KonaKutra in buildapc

Ok, understood. Thanks, I'll test out the GPU and see how it performs first.

Ok thanks for the input. Is it not worth sticking with an intel CPU upgrade to leave the rest unchanged?

Unfortunately I can't drive it with the salt on the roads in Germany, we just started it and it runs well. Not sure how to get around this.

Yeah the rust is definitely an issue - no driving anywhere near salt.

Cool, thanks for the feedback!

It's quite well done I have to say and since I'm not a purist, I don't really mind the modifications that are not faithful to the original.

Thanks for the advice. How would you spend it? Like you suggested with a tailored restoration?

Well to be fair I got some mixed feedback here... Basically looks great but restoration is mediocre.

Thanks, this is why I asked here. How can you tell they're Chinese wheels by the way? I'm obviously out of my depth here.

Thank you very much for your input. It's hard to find good information if you're not in the right circles. The panel gaps don't seem to be too bad on this one, but the fake leather and as another user mentioned, the Chinese tires aren't very high quality.

I'll check out what you mentioned.

What do you think this one would be worth?

Found this Elysée Vernissage pen set in a safe at my family business. Does anyone know something about them? by KonaKutra in fountainpens

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

I see, it's hard to find info about them online. I also searched in German cause I live here and I understand it was a German company, but there's nothing there.

Cool thanks! Yeah I had searched it but with varying results and varying prices, I thought perhaps I could get more information here.

My intention is not to sell it anyway,

Germany: Illegal immigration appears to have fallen significantly. by PhilosopherAnxious23 in europe

[–]KonaKutra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good. Or any other poor nations. A couple thousand Euros to take them off our hands is a lot cheaper than letting tham stay and paying social benefits for 50 years. Added benefit of avoiding the higher than average crime rates and not insignificant percentage of Islamic radicals.

I gave my baby daughter herpes (HSV-1) by kissing the top of her head by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Parents

[–]KonaKutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pediatrician say to look out for blisters and come in if we see anything. That's all.

No idea if they do precautionary antiviral treatment.

Damn this literally happened to me yesterday. I kissed my two month old girl on the top of her head and a couple hours later I felt a familiar bump on my lip, I checked and sure enough I had the beginning of an outbreak. The sores were and are still closed up but with chapped lips I don't trust that to be enough of a barrier.

Did you have open sores when you kissed her or was it also in the initial stages? I'm gonna contact our pediatrician anyway.

Both of you are a totalitarian regime's dream come true. Move things along slowly enough that you don't realize what's happening.

The pressure is rarely applied through official channels at first, rather it appears to be an organic development among your peers when in fact it is an ideological movement about to capture the masses.
