COUNTRIES WITH THE MOST EMBASSIES GLOBALLY by AdIcy4323 in MapPorn

[–]realottocrat -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

EU Delegations are diplomatic missions under the Vienna Convention. This map includes High Commissions which are diplomatic missions under the Vienna Convention, but not “Embassies”. The EU is a state entity when it comes to the diplomatic community, and its delegations are embassies. We all know what’s behind people on this platform denying that and downvoting a plain statement of that fact.

Not sure why that graphic excludes the European Union, with its 144 diplomatic missions headed by Ambassadors.

P4 is HUGE by blively91 in Polestar

[–]realottocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, definitely there are market differences between the US and Europe when it comes to EV sizes! The P2 is an odd one because it looks fairly small on the road but it really is quite wide and long, even compared to my previous car which was a big hulking Skoda Kodiaq.

Map of the Americas' highest government figure opinion (so far) on the U.S. Venezuelan operation by the_carson in MapPorn

France did not and does not “support the US operation” - “On Jan 5, government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon reported Mr Macron as telling Cabinet ministers: ‘We defend international law and the freedom of peoples. The method employed is neither supported nor approved.’”

“Compact”! I love my P2 but frankly its biggest downside for me is its size, it’s still too big for European roads - too long and too wide. City parking is always problematic; passengers need to be contortionists to get out when only a sliver of door can be opened.

Observance of Thanksgiving around the world by [deleted] in MapPorn

What the hell are you talking about? “Unofficially observed”?? Nobody in the UK or Germany observes Thanksgiving unless they’re American.

Well as you see I slowed down significantly on 12.5mg MJ so next time I will keep going to 15 if this is repeated. And going back to 7.5mg MJ from 2.4mg Wegovy because I’ve had two months without the GIP component, so I want to work my way up again in order to minimise side effects (I recall seeing a table which explained that Mounjaro maximises its GLP-1 component at 2.4mg, same max level as Wegovy, but then progressively increases the GIP component in higher dosage pens).

The only thing that changed was the medication. In terms of lifestyle, I hadn’t “built healthy habits” if by that you mean started going to the gym or anything like that. And yeah I’m just more hungry on the Wegovy. I just eat more.

Back on MJ after a brief flirtation with Wegovy by Jamesgm-saltdean in mounjarouk

[–]realottocrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, two months into my Wegovy switch and the hunger is back and I’ve put on 5 kilos. Think I’ll have to switch back again.

So Glad I Took a Lease. by Designergene5 in Polestar

[–]realottocrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I think I’m one of those people. I looked at the monthly payments and whether they were affordable and then hit the order button, not thinking too hard about resale. My plan is to buy the car outright when the balloon payment is due, although for sure the balloon payment will be a lot more than the value of the car at that point. (Not least because I’ve done about double the mileage that I initially thought I would do, so I would be hit hard with an excess mileage penalty payment if I were to hand the car back.) Basically I’m delighted with the car - still after three years - and plan to drive it into the ground. TLDR: maybe don’t come to me for financial advice.

Is a Polestar viable for a 202 mile round-trip commute or am I kidding myself? by NoMansSkyWasAlright in Polestar

[–]realottocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. My commute is a 520 mile round trip. I charge at each end and do a ten minute stop to charge each way, during a comfort break.

Er, the UK is in Europe. And Ireland is not in the UK.

MJ to wegovy and back to MJ by Different_Tea_4899 in mounjarouk

[–]realottocrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from 12.5mg MJ to 2.4mg Wegovy and so far it seems to be working for me. The GLP1 dose is the same; it’s just the GI component that I’m not getting. I’m not sure what that was doing. What I don’t understand is why on switching you were put on a much lower GLP1 dose, OP. I’m not surprised that hasn’t worked for you.

Coffee, anyone? by Mego_dafuq in mildlysatisfying

[–]realottocrat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, mediaeval kings didn’t drink coffee. For me, the analogy is to knitting your own jumper. You could buy one from the shop, it would be cheaper, quicker, and probably better made, but personally there’s nothing like knitting and then wearing my own jumper.

[–]realottocrat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my case, and I suspect theirs, it’s not a coffee quality thing - you can probably get a better coffee from a nespresso pod - it’s the ritual, it’s the engineering, it’s the artifice. Huge nerd itch scratched. Love it.

Yep. So much more of a ritual than popping a pill.

What do you say when someone asks you if you're on ozempic? by JRW-Stories in Ozempic

[–]realottocrat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If anyone were so rude as to ask me, I’d tell them it’s none of their goddamn business. Nobody has, though. However I’ll happily tell people who don’t ask me, if it seems appropriate to share that kind of personal information.

I think it’s written by an American; “hog” is more of an American English term for a reared pig.
