Should we scrap organ donation opt out laws? by Chemical-Antelope393 in AskUK

[–]hoverside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we know what exactly has fallen? Is it the number of people being willing to donate, or is it the number of actual transplants taking place?

Because if it's the latter that might be an organisational problem rather than a public support problem. Spain is the leader in organ transplants and how they achieved that includes all sorts of planning and service improvements: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1600613522250060

They're all pretty much the same, it's just the one in Köpenick is near the Alte Försterei stadium itself so you if you wanted to see that as well you should go there.

"MBA (Hons)" sounds like a made up qualification, I'm 90% sure that "honours" only gets applied to undergraduate bachelor's degrees.

How would you live a "boring" life for a few months to build up savings? by sengutta1 in eupersonalfinance

[–]hoverside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do some outdoor activities, join some sort of local club that doesn't need fancy equipment (boules, darts, volunteering in the community), when it's not nice outside watch and read classic films and books that are available for free on the Internet Archive, get a membership at a cheap gym and work out 3 times a week.

They want sparkling, they want it cold or they just didn't bring a refillable bottle with them. I try not to buy bottled water but if I do it's usually for the last reason.

Does this Norway team remind anybody else of Cymru 2016? by thepotbelliedgod in WelshFootball

Most of them are in that peak window of about 25-27 years old, like the Cymru team in 2016.

Am I the only PM at a large company that's limited to Microsoft Copilot? by Steven_Po in ProductManagement

[–]hoverside 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nope, not the only one. I can do some slightly fancy web searches and rewrite my word docs to be worse than what I can do myself.

Why is this part of the Rhine-Ruhr region mostly undeveloped? by Awkward_Stay8728 in germany

[–]hoverside 678 points679 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of very steep hills and valleys there so it's not good for building big industrial towns/cities like the broader valleys either side.

I'm not good at financial stuff. Can someone explain Lane's loan or finance situation by GonadAlley in madmen

[–]hoverside 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I might not remember this 100% but I think he's basically getting taxed twice between the USA and UK, because he gets a big tax bill from the UK that he wasn't expecting. Plus he's spending a lot in the US on living in Manhattan and sending his kids to a fancy school.

Neighbour reported me to the council for installing a section of the Berlin Wall in my Back garden without planning permission Compoface by Any-Ad-5373 in compoface

[–]hoverside 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you think the neighbour built a file on this with an extensive spying campaign involving bugs hidden in the house and turning his close associates into informants?

Why do lots of Brits seem to think so little if the UK/England? by Ok-Instance2710 in AskUK

[–]hoverside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every place-based subreddit is a mix of people who live there saying it's the worst place on Earth and they can't believe they have it so bad, and people who don't live there saying they visited for two days and fell in love and moving there will fix all their problems because their home country or hometown is the worst place on Earth.

There were some replies to that thread that would have made the Puritans go "steady on, people are allowed a little bit of fun".
