    Ah you take after your mother then :) I bet she takes no shit from anyone (either). Love Polish people, sometimes wished we were direct neighbors instead of having Germany in between us. And thanks, appreciate that. It's my wife who has the restaurant experience and education. She was offered a...

    New and Improved TnT Foodie thread

    When I put it on the plate and took pic I had similar memories. Though not as traumatic as brussels sprouts, brown beans and oh god... cooked leek. Never like boiled veggies much, nor boiled/mashed potatoes + meatballs. A combi as dutch as forcing kids to eat it lol. Nowadays I'm sometimes like...

    The renewable energy changes and policy

    Just a short addendum: 75-80% of the import duties, the portion the collection member state doesn't get to keep, goes to the EU budget and is subtracted from the total of Gross National Income-based EU contributions. Effectively, an increase in EU import duties translates to less national income...

    The renewable energy changes and policy

    I missed this one before my previous posts: Biden increases tariffs on Chinese EV to 100%: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/14/politics/biden-tariffs-chinese-imports/index.html Don’t expect prices of Chinese EV in US to increase accordingly and customers effectively paying the tariffs. Instead...

    The renewable energy changes and policy

    Technically importers pay the tariffs. Who then pass those costs on to retailers. The consumer pays for the car barely knowing how that price is established. Most they know and care about is how it compares to prices of other brands and models in their desired segment. When Trump introduced his...

    Right wing nuts worldwide.

    The most covered bad news can use some nuance too. PM Meloni's ruling party in Italy (in a coalition from center-right to far right that doesn't even have the majority support) supposedly made massive gains to. Yes, they quadrupled the number of seats in EU compared to 2019, but, it's almost...

    Right wing nuts worldwide.

    Some of the results, when looking at it per member state, justify some of the headlines but then it works both ways. You're right over all not good news, no matter the choice of words, but there IS good news too: In Hungary, currently EU's bad apple, party of Putin's friend Orban came out...

    Right wing nuts worldwide.

    EPP president vows to deny far right "any kind of influence" in European Parliament Ok, ok... just checking. Seen plenty of center-right christian conservatives don't mind a little fascism, at least not as much as progressive left policies. But he's pretty clear about it, the center-right in EU...

    Right wing nuts worldwide.

    A imo better headline when it comes to EU as a whole rather than what happened in France for example. https://www.gmfus.org/news/no-tidal-wave-creeping-influence-far-right-european-parliamentary-elections “Even if it is not about to dominate the European Parliament, the far right’s growing...

    Right wing nuts worldwide.

    CNN… many others too, it's like they wrote the articles upfront and before publishing only had to edit whether far-right won a majority, or won the race in a multiparty system where they don't have anything near a majority, or if that's not the case, made gains. While it's alarming regardless, I...
