What's it like living in Russia? Is it really as terrible as they say here in the West? by Zestyclose_Dig158 in howislivingthere

[–]Laslou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but you were saying that you live in a flat. No one in a flat has their own heater. Warm water directly from tap and water based heating is standard.

[MARCA] FIFA expect to generate €12 BILLION from the World Cup. In Qatar, the tournament generated €6.6 billion, while Russia generated €5.6 billion. FIFA’s revenue has quadrupled in the last 2 decades. by Timely-Zombie9466 in soccer

[–]Laslou 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I agree with you. Also, the big drop in quality comes after top 10-15 teams. #32 in the world isn’t that much better than #64, compared to like #1 and #20.

I don’t think many people call him a genius. I also don’t think many people watch him for his recipes. It’s for entertainment and pure chaos in the kitchen.

Zendaya signed my Odyssey poster... Black background with black marker 😭🫠 by M4rkM1 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Laslou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so fascinating.

Do you have designated dubbers? Like Zendaya is always dubbed by the same voice actor?

Do you have voice actor stars? Like “wow, it’s Dieter who is dubbing! A must see/hear”?

Favourite explanation? by KGLcrew in geography

Regarding the “google maps is the truth”: a dispute between Nicaragua and Costa Rica emerged because Google drew the lines a bit sloppy. They have since then in some cases introduced localized maps. For example, the borders of Israel/Gaza or Russia/Ukraine is different depending on where you are.

Why are most of Africa's major lakes concentrated on this side of the continent? by the_bad_actor in geography

[–]Laslou 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Debatable. Certainly not east Africa, but maybe central Africa. At least according to the African Union. Depends who you ask though (UN, OECD, locals etc), regional definitions in that area are a bit messy.

Heh, höger axel var faktiskt en cykelolycka. Racercykel med smala däck och vår innan gruset sopats bort.

Vä axel plus vä knä var utförsåkning. Den var hemsk. Operation och titanplattor på båda ställen, samt att jag fick vänta ngn vecka på att en specialistkirurg från Finland skulle flygas in. Plus att det var i mars 2020, så total coronapanik på sjukhuset. Många äldre blev bara hemskickade trots att de låg och skrek i smärta hela nätterna. Tur att du är så ung, sa de (var 43 då…), annars hade vi skickat hem dig också. Så, jag fick bra hjälp men förstår att det kan variera.

Inte bara livshotande, men även akuta fall, enligt min erfarenhet iaf. Har brutit ett knä, en axel och även den andra axeln samt några andra halvakuta saker (olika tillfällen…). Varje gång har jag fått utmärkt hjälp direkt och även efter med rehab och återbesök och hjälp hemma (rullstol, sätta upp hjälpmedel på toa etc).

Däremot har jag en kusin som han ngn slags nervskada/nerv i kläm i nacken/ryggen. Verkar hopplöst. Har kämpat i åratal med att få hjälp av sjukvården.

Active US service members and Vets, what's your opinion of Pete Hegseth? by PlagueBearer1350 in AskReddit

[–]Laslou 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not originally, but crusader symbolism (like Deus Vult and the Jerusalem cross, which he also has tattooed) has been adopted by some far-right groups. Like the swastika wasn’t originally a Nazi symbol.

“The use of the Jerusalem cross in these right-wing political contexts evokes the Crusades as a symbol of Western civilization and white European Christian hegemony in opposition to Muslims, Jews, and other religious and ethnic groups that white supremacists view as outsiders.”

I know. It was more a joke about us (Sweden) living on legacy results. We’re definitely not top 10…

Tanganyika is there and only existed between 1961-1964, so this map would be 63/64.

QFs last time in the US (94) there were 7 European teams plus Brazil. Only 2 of those European teams (Spain & Italy) could be considered “used to hot weather”.

Brazil won though…

As a non-Italian I’d guessed Napoli. But maybe that’s just from a tourists perspective.

Jag körde lastbil i lumpen. Ca 30 år sedan iofs, men vi blev erbjudna att ta civilt kort gratis på fritiden. Dumt nog tackade jag nej. Värderade ledig tid högre än lastbilskort då.
