I'm pretty sure the USA could provide a decent standard of living to all of latin and south America on it's own. But there's no programm in place for that I agree, there should be much more effort by the US to grow economies in Mexico and Central America, instead of mainly providing destabilization...

As far as I can tell, the original vision for the “European idea” was to ultimately end up with some kind of integrated fiscal union with a real federal government. Instead, they stopped halfway: monetary union with no fiscal union and no political authority and not too much political legitimacy or...

The USA has a shit standard of living by developed country standards. Wages for the bottom ~70% have stagnated for the past 40 years, debt is skyrocketing and almost nobody has any savings, labor rights are weak and work culture is toxic, a large proportion of the population is un- or under-employe...

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make. Economically, the Eurozone is certainly capable of providing a decent standard of living to all its citizens. Whether the money actually gets distributed that way, or all goes to a handful of rich bankers is a political question. The EU is not so...

My mother's got thyroid problems too.. All the doctors assure us that it's not a big deal because even if she does get thyroid cancer (eventually), the survival rates are much much higher than other cancers.. All the best.. :) Thanks. She was spotted very late. Full Stage IV cancer here. After a mo...

Nawh.. I was just asking a question.. and I used the quotation strategy in hopes that he sees it..

Update: My Mum's still in hospital, and I'm still spending a lot of time with her. (So I'm a looooooooong way back on answering PMs.) But the good news is she's recovering quite nicely. We have a wee family-wide chatroom of sorts—don't get your hopes up, IRC fans, it's a group Messages thread on ev...

So what you're saying, TP, is that shouty circlejerk of a thread between you and Chuck and Berserker is actually blue on blue violence between three of the forum's most right wing lunatics? Makes sense. Woah woah woah.. I'm not right or left wing.. I've believe that different ideologies are appropr...

TP: WTF are you talking about? The current governing structures in the EU are entirely undemocratic and unaccountable, and also extremely weak and ineffective. Hahaha.. Well basically, what's happening in the EU is not due to democratic or undemocratic, they're weak because the Stronger nations in ...

I really wonder how all this will play out in the next 15-20 years...kinda scares me a little. I might have to leave in the long term...Canada, Australia, New Zealand all look great to me.

Well the fact is standard of living has dropped - and still is dropping - in my country since €. It's very easy to talk how nice having a new museum is when you're full of cash, but we have people here working for 480€ full month at expenses similar to Germany. I'm doing fine, not as well if I was ...

You guys have a whiskey thread, I've also posted about the ice ball maker in that thread as I will be CNC-ing one once my machine is setup.

You're free to talk about whiskey here, but /shrug/ why?

That's because geekhack gets hacked every week and people need somewhere to vent...so they come to Deskthority. I've been a member of both sites for years and I've been lurking geekhack for even longer, but I find Deskthority the more sophisticated version of Geekhack. As for your thread...honestly...

Does anyone here have experience with those ice-ball aluminum molds. I am planning to CNC one once my machine is set up.. Deciding on the rails right now. 8-) Anyone have one?, I've only seen videos and I'm not absolutely clear as to how the material volume is distributed.. for example if the bottom...

The lynch mob, as you so aptly put it, could have been defused with a few rational and detailed posts from Berserkfan, imo. I wasn't quibbling over whether it was a scam or not. I'm saying that it is functionally the same for the buyer at this point. The only real differences are seller profit and ...

In any case, how many items did Berserkfan sell? Managing a big sale isn't difficult -- it's just time consuming to set up a proper inventory system. The multiple selling, even if it was unintentional, was terrible. The shipping was in a shambles. The follow up communications were nothing short of ...

I have unmitigated evidence that I ordered 3 common sets of granite (and other sets). Two other people ordered the full sets of Granite- it's in very high demand. There is no way that all three of us are going to get our items, no matter what Berserk does. So I took myself out of the equation. You ...
