Kirk was three small klan members in a trenchcoat.

It proves that guns will make them shut up.

Come on, exercise your free speech.

The Renault 5 is probably the best deal for a new car at the moment. They also have the Renault 4 coming out this year which is slightly larger and in the same price range.

I think the Corsa is more expensive, unless you're comparing older versions.

Now that is something I've never thought about before and also wish I hadn't read.

Anyway, I googled it, and hemorrhoids are actually not necessarily open wounds, and if they are, at least the blood is flowing outwards which might hinder the bacteria from getting into the blood stream. The bacteria from the asshole doesn't survive well outside the intestines, so there's a low risk of them crawling back up into an open wound.

However it does happen, and that could cause blood poisoning, which is potentially lethal if untreated. You'd probably want to treat it though because you'd experience severe fever and other clear signs.

I'll achieve this knowledge in the "don't worry about it" folder.

The world isn't logical. Knowledge of one topic is often applied to other topics.

If I had to hire a C++ programmer, and there were two candidates who were tied for the position except that one of them knew everything about the Great War, you can bet I'd hire him instead of the other. Not because I need anything at all related to the Great War, but it'd be nice if the person is able to relate the programming to something.

The Great War was an unforeseen consequence of many smaller locally logical events, almost like functions in code.

The programmer ought to be able to identify the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the code, so that the entire system doesn't break down from killing one small insignificant process.

Selvfølgelig vil de ikke tilbyde Grønland de samme rettigheder som andre amerikanske stater. Det ville jo reelt betyde at Grønland ville blive afgørende i alle deres fremtidige valg.

Jeg har meget svært ved at se Grønlands interesse i at blive koloniseret igen.

They'll sell it to pay for the elderly homes.

You'll only inherit the clay ashtray that you made for them in 3rd grade.

Yes, unions are common, but it depends on the type of work. Not everything is covered by default.

The minimum paid holiday is 5 weeks per year. Work places covered by union agreements usually have an additional week and other types of paid leave. This is given to anyone on the work place regardless of their membership. The agreement is between the employee union and the employer union, not individual members.

The Danish holiday bonus is not much though. The minimum 1% holiday bonus is paid out because the days that you take off as a salaried employee are worth slightly less than the legal minimum holiday. Had you been paid by the hour, you would get the same without the bonus.

It's negotiable of course, but personally I'd rather have one of the holiday bonuses from almost any other EU country to be default. For instance Finland gets 50% for resuming work after a holiday and in Belgium they get a full months pay in bonus.

Depending on your union agreement you might get similar things but not by law.

I hear what you're saying.

Mozart used the movement of a semitone downward a lot to end phrases. It's used a"sigh" of sadness rather than to establish confidence as in spoken English. I watched a few videos about it, and I have to say that in my ears, it sounds as if a downward inflection in English is actually just staying on the tone, because the default is to go upwards. When someone actually goes downwards, it easily sounds sad or condescending.

Depending on context there might be some connection between the two phenomenon, but anyway, I'd say that in music, the way to establish a solid point is achieved by playing the root note twice. The interval beforehand is less relevant, but perhaps downwards works better than upwards. That's my opinion anyway.
