That toaster looks older than the one I got during the soviet occupation and everything from then looks 30 years older.

No idea if I got ADHD or not but these memes are very relatable...

I do both: I worry about every detail and try to account and plan for everything which all usually falls apart because it feels like too many things and then I'm left with improvising everything on the last moment.

Stop subsidising air travel and people are gonna prefer trains and boats real fast.

How are contracts like this enforceable in the US? Like here you could have a clause like that but the moment you try to sue someone for working at a competitor the judge would just laugh at you and throw your ass out of court. You can't have just anything in a contract, just like if a contract breaks employment laws then it's not valid.

It depends on a lot of things. Something self-hosted would just cost the power and Internet you are already paying for but if you're renting the hosting and maybe even get development for your site it could cost a ton.

Countries really shouldn't have extradition treaties with the US considering the US refuses to work with the international criminal court and they'll have like the worst anti whistle-blower laws combined with some of the worst prisons.

Assange should be charged with whatever crimes he committed in his country not in the US.

Why did you ignore the part where I said that the profits for grocery stores soared? Producing food has not become more expensive, that's all public info here.

Yea, price capping is as much communism as having public healthcare and when the price of electricity was capped it lowered the prices massively.

What was going on was the local power companies made deals with other countries and basically acted as middle men for reselling that power for a massive markup. Our government made a mandatory power plan that forces power companies to produce electricity locally for local supply at a fixed price and that pretty much fixed that. Those companies couldn't sell power at a massive markup anymore because everyone would just switch to the government power plan then.

The only reason I'm not playing now is because the latest patch broke the house of hope portal in act 3 and I just got there.

Otherwise it's the best game I have played 105 hours of since Disco Elysium and I can't think of anything else even close to it.

The government capped the price of electricity here a short while ago and that lowered the price of power massively.

Seems the solution would be to cap the price of all food then.

Farmers yes, grocery stores not anymore. Profits of companies is public info here and they started racking it in the moment the massive 'inflation' started. My parents live near a farm and they just buy veggies directly from them for like a fraction of the price, I unfortunately live in a city though. Prices are better at local markets but there arent many of those.

Yea we have a food inflation pretty close to those measured numbers though in reality its a lot higher and that's without any caps. Also how could a food price cap cause inflation in food prices? That's literally the thing you are capping.
