Budweiser Budvar > Carlsberg > Budweiser (US)

Tbh, how likely is it that two big ships with sonar, radar, radio communications and (possibly impaired) visibility on both sides collide by freak accident? Impossible, no of course not. But likely? Very unlikely...

Insane headline, considering the article. Didn't expect such a bad take from the Kyiv Independent.

You're absolutely right! I should've said malt or grain whiskey.

Tbh, I can't stand Bourbon, regardless of country of origin. Don't know of a single good scotch from the States though.

Good, keep your Jack Daniels and I keep my Chianti, Grappa, Merlot and Riesling. Win-win.

Seems like the AI bubble is finally global now 😂

I realize the media can and does sometimes frame politicians in the worst light possible. But my god, seeing full sessions, not just short clips of the current president and vice president (especially the Selensky debacle in the White house)... they really are acting like comic-book stooges in front of cameras

AI Data Miners really are a plague of our times...

Gotta correct you there. The internet has its roots in the 1970s Arpanet (and maybe even earlier projects). You're thinking of the World Wide Web (Webpages, HTML, HTTP) that came with Tim-Berners Lee but is built upon the pre-existing internet structures and services.

This isn't Reddit, you don't have to reach boiling point just because you disagree with someone online. I have a German passport but my parents were "legal" immigrants from a non developed country. My wife is a "legal" immigrant (I'm not even mentioning skin colors because I think it's a stupid way of trivializing one's whole identity and life experience). They respected the conditions of moving to this country and they abided by them. But you call me a nazi because I don't agree with your idea of who should be conditionally allowed in our country or not.

We went through the whole legal rigamarooo and I know how German civil servants can be painfully slow. You and me can clearly both agree that German authorities (I can't speak for other EU countries) cannot efficiently deal with the influx of illegal immigrants. But if I think that centralizing the process with EU funding is possibly a good thing, I'm a nazi.

I never voted and never will vote for AfD but if you believe that someone from a warzone in the Middle East can simply make their way through the Balkans or North Africa and then the Mediterranean, choosing to claim asylum in a Western European country like Germany, after having passed half a dozen safe countries, where other Europeans go for a vacation, along the way, and throws away their identification papers to increase the processing duration of their asylum claim and make the possibility of a deportation is near impossible is unconditionally entitled to asylum - then we'll forever agree to disagree.
