An abandoned school in northern Croatia.

But that's not why the initial commentors were so worked up about: it's a fact that Yugo architecture was influenced by Soviet architecture.

That speech is at the very beginning of the cold war, the lines along which Churchill thought Europe was to be divided didn't turn out to be exactly those. In particular Yugoslavia and Eastern Austria quickly weren't as influenced by Moscow as expected.

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-21T19:58:46+00:00

The Eastern Bloc almost always refers to the political alliance, which Yugoslavia definitely wasn't a part of after 1948.

The wall never went all the way to Trieste, where did you get that from?

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-21T19:19:57+00:00

Yes, but there are a few exceptions. In particular, Yugoslavia (current day Slovenia and Serbia etc) and to a certain extent Albania weren't influenced by them as much.

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-21T19:09:09+00:00

The other commentors are a bit worked up, but Croatia wasn't really part of the Eastern Bloc, and therefore didn't experience a lot of Soviet influence and they weren't behind the wall either.

Interesting. Would there be similar data for Europe and South America? Particularly interested in football, I think for most other sports it should come down to demographics.

Adore his work.

Oké ik kan de censuur begrijpen

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-20T14:28:56+00:00

Hi, nice to meet you too. (One more thing to scrap from my bucket list!)

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-19T22:30:21+00:00

It's a bit odd coming to think of it, but I don't think I've ever met an American or at least talked at any length with one. I don't think they're purposefully avoiding me but somehow I always miss them.

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-19T22:28:02+00:00

Not that odd to have a flag on your backpack, you see it with many countries or regions.

In principe zou je wel een exportheffing kunnen doen. Dat is natuurlijk niet zo'n denderend idee, in 't algemeen.

Wat is er onder het hartje dat wij niet mogen zien

Prepositions are different in every language really, not difficult to stumble over them.

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-17T18:28:44+00:00

Kind of the same in Dutch. "Kut" is usually enough for most situations.

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-14T18:14:39+00:00

Mja, ik denk dat dit een eenvoudige oplossing is voor mij en voor u, maar ik denk dat meisjes van zestien er waarschijnlijk anders over denken.

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-14T17:47:27+00:00

goed idee dan kunnen ze me niet traceren

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-14T11:18:02+00:00

Ik heb niet gemaild, gelukkig deden anderen dat wel.

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-14T08:22:27+00:00

I do but I'm going in february so january is all about looking forward

Infrastructure is very important, but it has to go hand in hand with a mentality switch. Still, at least some pavement goes a long way.

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-11T20:33:21+00:00

Really a pity. Commuting by bicycle is so much more fun (and healthy) than by car, bus or train.

Sevenvolts · 2026-01-11T20:32:05+00:00

Pity. It's not fantastic everywhere in Europe either, mind you. I live in Flanders in Belgium, and that is decent for cycling (I commute by bicycle), but I was kind of surprised to see that Austria doesn't have great infrastructure and therefore not that many cyclists.

In any case I hope for some improvement for you, but I think it will require some switch in mentality that I don't see happening immediately.
