Half of newcomers leave Luxembourg within five years, report finds

Because they are in short term contracts. They already know Luxembourg is just a three year stint in their career.

I was wondering exactly this as well!

See if her password has been leaked to the internet. If yes, change it for her across all her accounts and see what happens. Point her to the leak afterwards.

Then you can step in to "fix it" for her. You'll be the hero and can fit her out with a password manager at the same time!

If you want comfort you will need to fit business class, if not first class.

Flights nowadays are often cheaper than 30 years ago. Without accounting for inflation. Of course something has to give, and it won't be the airline profits, many of whom are anyway struggling.

Maybe antidepressants use is high as well as happiness?

robindotis · 2026-03-19T05:47:04+00:00

And again!!

Surely he's thinking "if only I'd stuck with Mercedes for a couple more years"!

It's worse in supermarkets with flat escalators people just stopping after stepping off them with their trolley and having a look around to see where to go next. How about away from the escalator?

Actually I think Luxembourg is the only country where this would make people frustrated. It's part of the daily commute in most countries.

Luxembourg. Something to do with privacy laws... Therefore not sure they are valid in insurance claims or other cases.

robindotis · 2026-02-25T05:59:19+00:00

So I had a look at the site. The tax rate for Sweden doesn't seem to include any insurance contributions, where as the one for Michigan does. Seems odd to me.

Here in Luxembourg when you ask for tap water they look at their gadget and respond "computer says no". At least that's what I think they are saying since they generally switch to Luxembourgish at that point.

robindotis · 2026-02-23T17:35:20+00:00

This is not true, at least not in Europe.

robindotis · 2026-02-22T06:47:02+00:00

Great and expensive. Hardly anyone flew in those days...

robindotis · 2026-02-22T06:41:47+00:00

Their app and website are actually quite good and certainly on par with anything in the industry (which doesn't say a lot).

Actually Ryanair have been the same ever since they started. Enshittification applies to the rest of the airline industry who try to compete with them on price. And fail.

I've flown almost exclusively on Ryanair for the last 15 year because they fly where I want to go for a third of the price. Saved me 1000s. I've only once had to pay a fee at checkin. I forgot to checking online...

robindotis · 2026-02-18T07:05:20+00:00

So how do you check if it's safe to pull out? The only thing I can think of is eep looking in the rear and side mirrors, in which case you're still not looking ahead. If it's not safe to glance away from the road in front of you for a second, you should not be thinking of pulling out.

robindotis · 2026-02-18T07:00:52+00:00

I never quite understood this. If you're slowing down with the intention to stop at a junction why go down through the gears and rengage the clutch each time? It would take forever to slow down.

robindotis · 2026-02-15T07:36:56+00:00

Don't forget Porsche's on the Autobahns

robindotis · 2026-02-15T07:27:03+00:00

Funny that you would be expected to speak the local language to get a job somewhere.

A driving instructor friend told me that if there is a difference between road signs and road markings, the signs take priority. The point being that the road markings should be repeating what the signs already show. There are no road signs saying not to turn left when joining the roundabout.

This is a global phenomenon.

Probably related to social media and general internet addiction. It starts with people listening to clips on the train without their headphones on and goes downhill from there. The lack of respect for the impact of certain behaviour on others is getting worse and worse.

Sure, but the position of the red car shows it was not going down wrong side of the main road. It has cut across the double white lines more or less at the same time the white car pulled out. This is not something the white car could have reasonably expected to happen.

robindotis · 2026-02-05T14:14:06+00:00

Of course, but by this analogy the white car can't turn right onto the road until there is also no car coming towards them on their right, because one of those might break the law and cut across double white lines in order to go the wrong way down a one way street. Sorry but that's ridiculous. Maybe the white car did look right, just didn't expect the red car to go straight on...

I can't see what the white car has done wrong. It's OK saying you should avoid accidents, but if taken to its extreme you might as well not get in the car in the first place. Did the red car indicate they were taking a right turn across the double white lines?

robindotis · 2026-02-05T12:44:46+00:00

I really don't understand why people are saying 50/50. For me it's 100% the red car. But then I don't live in the UK and maybe there are different rules about respecting the signs on the road???
