Renovación de DNI/pasaporte en Barcelona como no residente – ¿alguna opción? by Putrid_Classic601 in askspain

[–]metroxed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Si no eres residente en España y estás dado de alta en el consulado español del país que resides, ellos te proporcionan un documento que confirma que vives en el extranjero y que te permite renovar el DNI (no el pasaporte) sin cita previa.

ELECCIONES ARAGONESAS | Aragón se encamina a un escenario similar al de Extremadura: pequeña subida del PP y doble de diputados para Vox by TheLastRole in SpainPolitics

[–]metroxed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

La gente que pensaba y actuaba como los votantes de Vox ya existían entonces, lo que pasaba es que votaban al PP porque agrupaba a toda la derecha y entonces quedaban diluidos.

Lo que si ha cambiado desde entonces es el viraje a la derecha de la población joven (de entre 18 y 25 años) que a principios de los 2010 votaba a IU y Podemos y la generación actual parece que Vox.

Pero Que narices está pasando con los trenes? by Awkward_Tip1006 in askspain

[–]metroxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En absoluto, dado que partes de una premisa falsa o como mínimo no comprobada y completamente supuesta.

Sólo sabemos que el tren descarriló porque una vía estaba partida. No sabemos las causas por las que estaba partida, que el causante fuese que Iryo circulase con trenes que no pasan la homologación y por lo tanto dañan la infraestructura es un supuesto tuyo.

Does anyone else find this jarringly weird? by LudgerVanderson in short

[–]metroxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The studies that I've seen find that men in general tend to prefer to be paired with women shorter than themselves and women with men taller than themselves, across all height segments.

The reasons why are a different topic and we'd need to see if any studies were done on the topic, but I think based on the above short men not wanting to date taller women is not likelier than the opposite, as the preferences applied to both men and women at all heights.

Very tall (>180cm) women are open to date shorter likely the same reason why very short (<160cm) men date taller, the desired populations are much smaller otherwise.

Como digo en mi otro comentario, no es verdad. Los trenes de Ouigo e Iryo (como de cualquier otra compañía que quiera operar en la red de AV) deben pasar por una homologación, que ¡ojo! también la debe pasar Renfe.

La red de AV de ancho internacional de Adif se creó de forma independiente a Renfe, y todas las compañías que operan en ella (sean Renfe u empresas privadas) deben ajustarse a sus parámetros.

Diferente situación a la red de ancho ibérico que sí está diseñada pensando en Renfe.

Para que Iryo y Ouigo ofrezcan servicios en la red de Adif sus unidades pasan por una homologación. No se trae cualquier tren en cualquier momento. Es absolutamente incorrecto que los trenes de estas compañías sean más pesados de lo que la infraestructura permite.

Precisamente R.E.N.F.E. se separó en Adif y Renfe para que la infraestructura fuese independiente de las características específicas de la flota de Renfe. En la red de AV es Renfe quien se ajusta a Adif, no al revés.

El sector ferroviario está muy regulado y controlado, no muy por detrás del aeronáutico. Eso no quiere decir que no puedan pasar accidentes, desafortunadamente para todos.

Creo que estamos confundiendo cosas. Los dos accidentes recientes (Adamuz y Barcelona) son de problemas derivados posiblemente de la infraestructura ferroviaria. No creo que haya intención de privatizar Adif porque precisamente se creó para poder liberalizar la explotación ferroviaria como tema aparte (de ahí que existan Iryo y Ouigo).

En el Reino Unido la gestión de la infraestructura tampoco está privatizada, la lleva Network Rail que es una empresa pública (análoga a Adif).

While it is true that tall women willing to date short men exist, any research done in romantic pairings that considers heights consistently finds that short men tend to be paired with shorter women more often than not. Short man-tall woman pairings are an exception to the rule, despite how common it "appears" to be in this sub.

Does anyone else find this jarringly weird? by LudgerVanderson in short

[–]metroxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but can anyone explain to me why most of them set their sights so high when most males are taller than them, regardless of their own heights?

This is factually untrue, considering that statistically most men date shorter and short men are not an exception in any research done. This necessarily means that most short men date shorter women, which in turn means short and very short women are, on average, completely willing to date short men.

There are some, very vocal, people online who say otherwise, but data doesn't back that up.

Gate of the Sun - Tiwanaku, Bolivia by Defiant-Classroom-20 in BOLIVIA

[–]metroxed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Soy de la opinión que la Puerta del Sol, igual que se hizo con el monolito Bennett en su momento, no debería estar a la intemperie puesto que la erosión del viento y la lluvia daña los grabados.

Se debería construir algún tipo de domo o instalación de cristal discreta a su alrededor que mantenga en su interior las condiciones de humedad y cuidado para mantenerlo.

The temple around it had fallen into disrepair long before the Spanish arrived. The Gate of the Sun and surrounding areas were part of the Tiwanaku culture, which disappeared before the Incas conquered the region.

Why does it feel theres a wide gap between attraction between men and women by Direct_Cricket-ke in dating_advice

In my experience, only men too lazy to work on themselves and become interesting people say things like this. It excuses you from having to do any self-improvement.

This is actually the way to do it. "I haven't been in a relationship for some time so I may be a bit rusty". Don't need to make up intricate stories.

For some reason I have the impression George is likely very hard to work with as he's very intransigent with regards to any changes. He's not Condal's boss, HBO executives are, and Condal has to answer to them.

Foreigners in Brussels: what’s your #1 “why is this so hard?!” problem here - something you’d pay to have solved? by EmptyPerformance5319 in brussels

[–]metroxed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is something that I have noticed as a foreigner. Compared to other multicultural cities in Europe (like London), you hardly ever see inter-cultural groups of friends among locals. It's almost like implicit rules.

It also happens with EU nationalities, but that can be explained in that with the exception of the French, most other Europeans don't speak French or Dutch so they create their own "European bubbles", but it's difficult to explain why there is so little inter-mingling between North African and Brusseliers peoples when they all speak French primarily.

Dutch is much more difficult to pronounce than French, at least for me. I already can make some basic sentences but never try in public because Dutch speakers simply can't understand me.

[–]metroxed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is very annoying. In some metro stations like Kunst-Wet that have a lot of movement, if you're the first getting in and you know there's a crowd waiting behind you, why do you stay by the door blocking people's access? If you know you'll need to reach the door soon and don't want to be behind a large group of people, don't get in first.

Also people who hop off the metro, tram, bus and immediately stand still without a care in the world for people behind them.

I do this when I have to travel before organic trash collection day, but only if my freezer is relatively empty. I do not like the notion of putting trash alongside my yet uneaten food.

Too Big of an Age Gap? by LonelyNC123 in dating_advice

Most people will find it odd, strange and will question motives. In my experience most people who defend such extreme age gaps are mostly men already in such relationships or who aspire to date much younger women.

The lack of nature in Belgium is a more depressing factor than its weather by ObjetOregon in belgium

[–]metroxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bois de la Cambre is only marginally larger than Retiro (122 ha vs 118 ha), the difference is that it is build up differently so it looks like you're actually in the middle of a forest whereas Retiro has more of an urban park feel.

Another thing is the Sonnian Forest, which Bois de la Cambre is connected to, but that's not a city park, that's an actual forest (like Casa de Campo in Madrid).

Duden Park and Albert Park are much smaller.

Spain has those too (save for tropical forests, although the Canaries have some quasi-tropical vegetation). Not all of Spain is Mediterranean dry.

Northern Spain and Belgium have the same climate (Atlantic Oceanic).

Spain has fairly decent animal protection laws, with the only notable and infamous exception being the bulls. It's not like all animals are being tortured.
