You could learn this internet if you decided to.

INB4 it's gonna be a repeat of the Wii U. A confusing, non compatible successor to a revolutionary product.

I was wondering if they would ever add it just this week, it's a welcome addition

I am kind of surprised that so many people noticed the racism metaphor in Dot and Bubble but no-one (including Russell I'm guessing) noticed the uncomfortable AIDS allegory in the last episode, especially with the first queer actor for the Doctor... "While you were having fun around the universe, everywhere and everyone you were with were infected and now they're going to die"

I don't know how you can look at a map clearly showing the aftereffects of decades of communism and blame it on capitalism. Why would east Germany vote fascist due to rampant capitalism but the rest of Germany not do that? I just don't understand.

Solar power in sunny weeks, wind power in overcast weeks and hydro power in rainy weeks means electricity costs in Portugal and Spain have been incredibly low over the last year.

Newspapers here have been running articles saying the way the market works will make further investment and maintenance difficult because power generators are barely being paid. A few weeks ago for a couple of hours the price went negative in the wholesale market, meaning power generators had to pay to generate power.

A friend of mine decided to index his costs to the wholesale market and pays 4c/kWh, while with a normal power plan I'm paying 9-13c/kWh. Meanwhile coal, oil and gas guzzler Germany is paying 4x these prices. At least their geopolitical energy play worked out /s

In European Portuguese it's "Feira da Ladra", or "Fair of the (female) Thieve"

As long as Venezuelans keep blaming the US for Venezuela's problems instead of looking inward, especially to their own corrupt government, things won't get better for them.

Using the US as an external enemy is great for holding onto power but it doesn't improve people's lives. Transparency, democracy and accountability improve people's lives. These are things most of Europe have and Venezuela does not. Venezuela has vastly different policies from center-left European countries and I'd know because I live in one.

You don't have to defend China or Cuba because I don't want to attack them. I wish Venezuela would be like China or Cuba. At least my family wouldn't go without power, starve or die needlessly.

Maduro has to go, and chavistas need to stop blaming everyone but the government for their problems. But I suspect even after everyone has left and only chavistas remain, they'll still blame someone else. Don't encourage them.

You beg for your life like a bIHnuch!

But lower pension costs, and overall it saves money to allow people to smoke themselves to an early death. Even if you count the cost of their treatment, it's cheaper than 20 extra years of pension payments. It's a terrifying but sound economic policy.
