absolutely this, here in Austria most of our books are obviously written in German, so many of them have prices for Germany, Austria and sometimes Switzerland on them, but obviously not for other neighboring countries because the books for them are written in Italian, Slovak, etc.

I always find it funny when I read a lemmy thread that’s being posted in by microbloggers who just start all replies with @ followed by usernames of people they’re replying to.

no, I’m very certain I’ve never seen one, this article certainly doesn’t have one

you can sort !casualconversation@lemm.ee by “new comments”

No, you can’t go to real court. You’re actually kinda getting at something more serious: This is true for all crimes. Especially also drug crimes. That is why the prohibition of drugs causes violent crime: the only way to enforce contracts over illegal drugs is through violence.

Both houses were all-Democratic from 1975 to 1978, then more and more Republicans were elected to them, only from 2011 do they have a majority.

Do people really think audio CDs aren’t around anymore? I bought several audio CDs in the last few years, I prefer to have local copies of music I like rather than depending on a streaming service.

The terminology of this map confuses me quite a bit. Austria has mostly right-hand traffic nowadays, the Franz-Josefs-Bahn being the only exception I am aware of; it used to be a lot more mixed until the early-to-mid-2010s.

Paris has more than one terminus.

Pay phones are still common in many places around the world. An indicator may be those mapped on OSM: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=telephone#map

They are common in my country, but I hardly ever see anyone use them.

Having only one emergency number isn’t the standard everywhere in the world. In my childhood here in Austria I learned that the fire department is 122, the police is 133, ambulance is 144; these numbers still work AFAIK, but nowadays the government’s recommendation is to dial 112 (the EU-wide emergency number) no matter what you need.

If there were a universal answer to this, there wouldn’t be any others.

I myself currently use Debian (testing), have for some years now, but I have used other distros in the past too.

Most fish. I always liked salmon, but didn’t like most other fish; now I like all fish I’m aware of.

Why are you posting an article from September (= before the US election) now, in November?

honestly any that wants to leave (by a democratic referendum) and doesn’t cause any exclaves or enclaves to exist
