You’re completely wrong. Village rearing is common in poor countries. Rich countries are so rich that they can afford childcare.

Not OP and don’t live in the US. I don’t support voting for Biden, find a better democrat for fucks sake!

Yes, but Europe also had plenty of small and efficient cars which are not exported to the US. And people love their BMW 3 Series still!

Imagine if we kept them the same size and still improved their efficiency

Well, we did! In Europe.

3? More like 33!

Yeah, I find it funny that people don’t remember DVD DRM. I guess it wasn’t noticeable to Americans, but you move from Latvia to the UK and suddenly all your movies are duds. You can at least use a VPN today to circumvent this bull shit in many cases, no such luck back then.

P.S. What was even worse for people living in xUSSR countries is that part of DVDs came from Russia (region 5) and part came from Europe (zone 2, because many xUSSR countries were assigned zone 2). The same was true for DVD players. So it was always a puzzle what to buy. Fuck this shit.

I had drill bits for such screws for decades, never had the reason to use them though. It’s nice to see that there’s a use for them after all!
