Also, something to consider with IKEA, it might also apply to others. If you want to order all the parts for a kitchen it might be over 100 parts with cabinets, drawers, doors, and lots of other parts. At the beginning I was not really sure what I wanted and where exactly I wanted to install it. So, I ordered just two base cabinets with legs (no door, no shelves, etc.). Then I placed them in the location where I wanted them, and I could check if I have enough room to walk around them. Personally, I think doing that in person in your own location is perfect - if you have the time to do that. Also, later I ordered first all the cabinets and only some doors and drawers. Then, after I installed the basics, I had another look where I want what kind of drawers, which inserts and all that. With the modular IKEA METOD system, it is easy to do that.

You can make an appointment to talk to them in their shop. As far as I remember they offer a service that they visit your home. As far as I remember, they charge for that.

I can highly recommend this YouTube channel about IKEA kitchen and their installation. I designed my IKEA kitchen with their planner and then I watched many videos for tips what to choose and how to install it. I designed the layout myself and I installed it myself (apart from the stone countertop). The main reason for me to do it myself is to do it correctly. There are just too many possibilities for shortcuts which will be long term problems. IKEA has a couple of different kitchen series. I used METOD cabinets, they have 25 years warranty. Hello Home Owners and Ikea Kitchen Installers. (youtube.com) This is just one of those important videos. If "you" get the basics wrong, then there will be lots of problems.

I agree that isolation is not healthy. Personally I just don't know about young people these days. Obviously I see lots of young people outside, and many of them seem to be addicted to their phones. But I don't know how many never or seldom go out. I also don't know how those who communicate all the time over their phone think about that situation. I personally would think someone who has 1000 fb "friends" and no real life friends has a problem. But I remember talking to a women in an office who was constantly on her phone and she told me proudly she has friends all over the world. It's different. Is it worse? Personally, I think so. But then, personally I don't have any social media friends.

In principle you are right. I think the problem with some (crypto) investments is, that it is a question of perception if people think it's a scam or not. If the "investors" don't think they were scammed, will any legal prosecution happen?

Is that your personal experience? My one differs substantially.

Maybe one problem is the concept of chain restaurants in general. When I still lived in Europe, the only chain restaurants which we had were American owned like Mc Donals. "Real" restaurants are from individual owners. Maybe those owners own a few other individual restaurants, but not a chain of them. What do people expect from chains? Consistency. But certainly not quality.

As far as I know he is since years accused of those crimes. But it seems the authorities don't have any or enough evidence to convict him. He might be guilty, but maybe he is not. Just the fact that he is an ahole doesn't make him guilty.

I am not a Sexpat. But I still comment on above. Coffeezilla exposed a couple of scams. He seems to be the good guy. But I don't follow everything he does. Andrew Tate wouldn't be as successful as he is if he wouldn't tell some truth. But obviously he is also a scammer with too many stupid followers. Will anything that Coffeezilla might expose hurt Andrew Tate? I have my doubts. It's about the same as if someone exposes another lie from Trump. His supporters just don't care.

Some years ago, it was not unusual for girls to use the ID card from their older sister - a legal ID card, just for a different person. I have no idea if they still do that. Personally, I rely on the guards in NANA to take care that everybody in there is legal.

It depends...

Like 17? Or 13? Or what? And did those individuals volunteer to work in those jobs? Or were they chained and couldn't leave the premises? Obviously, any version of this in not legal. But IMHO it is a huge difference if some 17 yo teenagers, who were anyhow sexually active, wanted to make some money. Or if pre puberty children were forced to work there. Not same, very different.

You didn't answer my question. I guess you know why you did that.

I also laugh about this one - until it became reality.

He does that deliberately. Those low IQ people have problems with complete sentences and logic.

Is that what you really think? Are you able to see a difference between the far left, the left, the center, and people who are conservative but still don't want Trump? I.e. is Liz Cheney one of those people who want to have their communities overrun by illegal aliens, allow men in their daughter's showers, more welfare and higher energy costs? Obviously, there are some crazy far left people out there, but there are not so many of them. They just seem to have very big loud mouths.

Do you think it would be bad if Musk and Bezos would have less and some poor people in need would have more?

I am not sure which is worse, that you use that thing like a truck or that you publish the pictures doing that.

It's similar to unusually rich politicians.

How disgusting! I definitely wouldn't hire that one.

That is one of those videos which will be picked up by the BBC and others to report about Thailand.

Yes, what could he possibly do to lose voters? Bill Maher just made some suggestions.

I have to admit I never checked for an expiry date on a pack of condoms. Are they expired after a week or two? Or years? Can expired condoms still be used with expired old women?
