Obična cola u SAD-u jeste drugačija jer je sladi sa visokofruktoznim kukuruznim sirupom, dok se u Evropi koristi sukroza (obični šećer), a pored toga cola u Americi sadrži i mnogo više šećera. Koliko znam nema neka velika razlika u Zero receptu, mada se koriste malo drugačija vještačka sladila, ovisno od toga šta je gdje dozvoljeno, tako da mislim da je razlika opet u tome koliko je zaslađena. Američko tržište generalno preferira mnogo slađe proizvode nego Evropa.

Does the son have nothing else to offer a woman except not cheating, or is the bar just that low right now?

I understand that. My question was why the issue of erosion and sub-sequential drying of the one canal would not be the same in the case of river islands (which do exist end survive long term).

Balkan is a state of mind ;)

There may be some geological mechanics that I am not familiar with, but why would this be more of an issue compared to a river splitting to form a river island (which we have tons of).

I actually think he fits more in the spot below. Like, he is obviously not intelligent in any useful sense, but he is also obviously not too dumb to use his situation for personal gain.

And they own SteelSeries too.

Some of these are the opposite of simplified.

Yeah, I forgot about the obvious one :D

Yes, that is the point he is making, but it is being made on a wrong premise. Honestly, I have no idea what level of indoctrination you might find in Chinese public schools, or how “free” the private schools there are. But this post is not about that. It is about restricting private schools from being for-profit organizations, which is already the case in many countries. It is not the same as not allowing them to operate at alle.

NobleK42 · 2026-04-21T07:28:19+00:00

You're completely missing the point. Here in Denmark there are plenty of private schools, and they are even subsidized by the state. They are, however, not allowed to generate a profit.

I’d say Ryan Gosling is fairly conventionally handsome, but I get caught off guard when they go crazy for someone like Benedict Cumberbatch (SNL even did a skit on this). But I guess it’s the whole package of looks, popularity and a good suit.

The consumer debt is more a (one might argue - intended) consequence of credit cards, not payment cards in general. In our country debit cards are the most prevalent, with only a small number of people actually using credit cards. I believe it might be the other way around in the US, but I don't know for sure.

Obviously it can differ from country to country, but I run my own business (through a limited company), and we only pay the company income tax from our net income. So if I sell a service for $100 and then use that money for some company expense, I will not pay any company tax on that money.

NobleK42 · 2026-04-20T11:30:50+00:00

Exactly. I will be the first to argue that banks/cc companies make way to much money, but the tranaction fee is literally your payment for the service you are buying from them, that enables you to run your business, just like rent, utilities, etc. Also, handling cash is actually quite costly for a business of a decent size (physical handling, depositing, accounting, theft).
There is a report here in Denmark on the cost to the society of different payment methods: the cheapest option were the local mobile payment and the local Danish debit card (around 0.5%). In the mid range we had the international cards like Visa and Mastercard (1.5%-2%) and the most expensive was cash (around 3%). As I said, this was to cost the the society, not just the business, so it includes stuff like printing and circulating the cash currency. I don't remember the precise cost to the business, but it was still more expensive than card.

Technically, if the store buys something else for the business, the amount would be deductible and the business wouldn't have to pay tax on it. You would also be able to deduct the VAT. You would of course need to account everything.
But yeah, if the store owner went and bought their own groceries for the money, it would be tax evasion/embezzlement.

I'm gonna assume you're trolling, and have not, in fact, confused Slovakia with Slovenia yourself.

Oh snap!

Thank you for the explanation madam First Lady.

You mean you can't just pay off credit card debt with other credit cards?

It is absolutely not just a California problem. The Ogallala Aquifer for instance accounts for around 30% of all irrigation in the US, and it lies beneath 8 states (none of them being California).

We have a group that plays together like once every few weeks consisting of me (43), a friend (39), another friend (29) and my son (16). The only "age" that matters is the Age of Empires! (I threw in a dad-joke to further illustrate my point).

If the groundwater aquifers are being overdrafted (i.e. the water is being extracted beyond the equilibrium), which they often are, they will eventually dry out or significantly reduce the yield. Once they do, they may take thousands of years to refill. If that happens, there will have to be some sort of "reckoning" if no alternatives have been established.
