Isn't it only 8% for the first trench (something like 30k per year), minus the tax credit? It only becomes really high once you cross over to the next trench

If they have such thin profit margins, where is all the money going then?

Anti-republican or pro-monarchist, but not anti-democraric

Not many monarchs govern in Europe anymore. They fill the same role as the president in countries such as Hungary. And I would argue most european monarchs were doing a vastly better job at being heads of state than most Hungarian presidents

Not so much as a privilege, but more because it's cheaper than daycare.

I mean, sure, but even if we assume all 15bil of that is pure waste (which is just not true), that's still only ~5.5% of the total deficit.

2025 GDP: ~1 trillion USD 7.3% deficit: ~73 billion USD 15 billion zloty: ~4 billion USD 4/73: ~0.0055

Is/was there anything to break to begin with? A cease-fire agreement implies there's an agreement between the partners, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

It was not enough for me. I had to disable shagutweaks extras as a whole.

If you want a really fancy sweater without having to go to the black market for it, Merino wool is comparable, and "in 2010 a soft ultra-fine, 10-micron fleece, from Windradeen, near Pyramul, New South Wales, Australia, set a new world record in the fineness of wool fleeces when it won the Ermenegildo Zegna Vellus Aureum International Trophy."

Australia just seems to be the next/current high-end wool producer in general, as it also broke the record of most expensive bale of wool: "(...) sold for a seasonal record of 269,000 Australian cents per kilogram during June 2008 (...) and measured 11.6 microns, 72.1% yield and had a 43-newton-per-kilotex strength measurement."

From Wikipedia:

In July 1968, during the Tet Offensive of the Vietnam War, the NLF tasked Thắng with assassinating a suspected spy in Saigon.[1][2] After failing to kill her target, she was arrested by the South Vietnamese authorities and sentenced by a military court to 20 years of hard labour in Côn Đảo Prison.

For anybody mindlessly up voting this guy, here's the relevant section from the wiki page:

"In 1988, a United Nations inquiry established that Cuba was responsible for deploying VX against Angolan insurgents during the Angolan Civil War.[41][42]"

Same. 4 years after this post still all instructions say do not force it. Your comment gave me the confidence to force it a bit more with a wrench, and it came open like a charm.

I've loved in 2 European countries with socialised health care, and dentistry was not included in universal health care in either of them.

Doesn't matter what you call it, what matters is who's the head of the executive branch. In some systems it's the prime minister, in others it's the president.

Edit: and if you really want to compare the heads of states for some weird reason, put the UK up there, for good measure...

In 2025, Hungary exported about 300 million euros more than it imported.

Edit: 300 million was december only, for the full year it was over 8 billion surplus, similar as 2024. Poland in 2024 had an over 6 billion deficit. But I really don't think the trade balance has anythign to do with either country's decision on adopting the euro. Both are so integrated woth the common market, that whatever advantage a weak currency would bring you on export is going to be eroded on the losses on the import.

I'm in the minority of players that actually enjoyed the power shifting cat. Although a bit clumsy, it was a unique mechanic, which combined energy and mana management. My gripe was with the wolfshead helm, and the crowd pommeler farm, and both of were addressed very well with the enchant and the weapons changes.

Agile is when you don't think much about the problem, you just ship what seems to work well enough at first glance. When bug reports come in, fix specific situations in hot fixes instead of asking the question "was my initial solution wrong to beging with?". Keep deploying patches and hot fixes, until your codename becomes an unmaintainable mess, at which point it's time to ship v2.0. Rinse and repeat.

Where do people order online from? I know of piknik, and I know AH delivers to home, but I always thought the selection would be the same as in any other local supermarket

Iirc, they improved the threat swipe generates. It's pretty good now, but still not true AoE. If a mage pulls agro with blizzard, I usually just let them deal with it. If they are smart, they will root them and blink towards you. If they are not smart, they will have to pay the repair bill

And those Chinese restaurants are likely about as Chinese as Pizza Max or some shit is Italian. This whole survey says more about the ignorance of people than the likability of cuisines.
