I am an adoptive mother for 7 months already. I love my son very much and the fact that he carries somebody's else genes does not bother me at all. My son is from Thailand and I am Russian so we look very different. Still, not a problem The important thing here is that I take care of him and he accepts this care. (I do not have biological children and yes, parenting IS hard)

Good question, I am not sure. The numbers from my link do match the official numbers from Canada (link [2]) though.

Based on the Excess Mortality across Countries in 2020, Sweden did surprisingly good, with only 1.5%. For comparison, the US was much worse with 12.5%. And Finland had -3.1% for some reason

Sure!

[1] shows the Excess Mortality across Countries in 2020, very convenient to compare.

In particular:

Canada: 6%

USA: 12.9%

South Korea, interestingly: -2.9%

or hate each other...

So in Germany, the ratio is 845 voters per place. this seems to be quite high compared to North America.

For comparison, here are the numbers in Canada for 2019 [0]:

Registered electors: 27,300,000

Polling places: 20,000

Thus, the ratio is 1365 ppl per polling place.

This is only 60% of the ratio in Germany. I am from Canada and I don't think we have any problems with voer supression.

Is the state of public transit in NYC (subway) better than in SF? I had an impression it's horrible (everybody hates it) and it's a total money pit.

what about cigarette butts?

Many similar websites have suffered from a so-called "Medic" update. Some of them recovered (through fixing their website), some did not. The SEO community is full of such stories, for more than a year I think.

How is it news? :thinking:

I see! This is indeed very different from the US, more like an award I guess.

Reading your comment made me think: Wow Germany must be like the US! Who knew!

But then I read the article and was super or even mega surprised to see that Switzerland, Sweden, France, and even Canada, they all overcome Germany based on this measure (Guns per 100 people). Something tells me that maybe you should not be concerned about the position your country has on that list ...

I was really surprised by Switzerland being the #2 on this list. Maybe it is indeed due to hunting habits the country has? I wonder how similar their gun thinking is to the US gun thinking.

I wonder if he wanted to make money, it would make sense for him to try to move to the US? Not sure though how easy it would be to get a US license for a Canadian doctor.

Which ones from the article didn't you like?

> Unable/unwilling to pursue new and potentially better opportunities in new places

It so really depends on the actual people. The ones who really want to pursue new opportunities seldom look at the favorable rent in my opinion.

> one night I saw her eating out of the trash

this means nothing. The lady can simply have dementia or something like this and even having a loving family and a nurse taking care of her, she still could have eaten from trash.

This is the nature of the disease, unfortunately.

> abusive landlord taking advantage of people from the article: The landlord offered her to install a heater and she refused. From my point of view, it says more about her character ("I do not deserve this") than about the landlord. Moreover, he did install one! and she never used it!

When she moved in, it was not probably a standard feature to have one; and after all, she did live w/o using one for her whole life (despite even having one installed at the end).

Again, it feels it was HER choice rather than a one forced down her throat.

My Gmail is free, too...

On GSuite (non-free version of Gmail) I don't see the ads either and it is supposed to be like that (after all, it's paid)

> Google would prefer you spend more time fighting the interface in Gmail and seeing ads

Do you see ads in Gmail?

I don't anymore and it feels it has been like since a very long time.

(and my AdBlock os turned off on Gmail)

2h still feels a bit too much, though I thought it would take longer. Well I guess I will try the next time...
