Yeah I don't think it's very common elsewhere. Right over the border with France they were already saying "200 grams de jambon".
But I think it's convenient. Small number make brain hurt less, brain no need to think.
In Italy we use hectograms ("ettogrammi", "etti" for short) in day to day life when buying groceries. You don't ask for 200 grams of ham, you just ask for 2 etti.
Maybe I do. But I've already seen polls that appeared to be favouring (albeit marginally) the UK rejoining the EU. And this is only after a handful of years.
Please don't take it as an offense, that's not how I mean it, but I think Brexit showed that the UK needed the EU more than the EU needed the UK, so I expect those numbers to grow even further as the people realize it.
True for Serbia and Belarus, but Russia is so big - both in terms of surface as well as population - that it wouldn't really work with the way the union is currently structured. I'm not even sure if it's possible to restructure the union in a way that allows Russia joining without them becoming an hegemonic power within the union itself.
Short answer: the Norwegians don't want to. Why? I think it has to do with both their very high GDP per capita (which IIRC would make them pay large membership fees) and more importantly, the fact that they'd have to follow the EU's common fisheries policy.
With the current arrangement they have to follow most of the EU's laws but not the fishing ones.
Soon we’ll be running out of European countries
Morocco be like: 👀
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco%E2%80%93European_Union_relations
In 1987, Morocco applied to join the European Communities (the precursor to the European Union). The application was rejected on the grounds that Morocco was not considered to be a "European country" and hence could not join.
- Ukraine: would be nice but it'd break the current farming subsidies program
- United Kingdom: just a matter of time
- Norway (and might I add Iceland and Switzerland): I'd love nothing more than this but we both know they won't for different political reasons. Never gonna happen under the current treaties.
- Serbia, Belarus, Russia: fuck no
- everyone else: as soon as they respect the Copenhagen criteria, sure
Are you good, mate? Is it just my instance or this comment got posted four times within the span of 30 seconds?
Oof. Yeah maybe. I did play Skyrim on release, on a bloody PS3 no less. Pure pain.
Hopefully it doesn't take them that long.
It might be, although I've read of some freezes happening even on the fastest SSD in the world so... idk, I think they might have fucked up somewhere. I also suspect there might be some memory leaks, although this comes solely from my experience, I have no data to show.
Yes, all very cool, but when are they going to fix the actual issues? Like, I don't know, the constant freezes?
I'm loving this game so far, I'm playing it every night, but it feels like a constant test of my patience.
I'm sure you'll love this AutoMod bot for Lemmy I have built, then!
Seriously though, I tried to stay as true to my morals as possible writing this and that includes not judging people for the communities they choose to interact with. So there's no shadow bans nor any "you've been banned from X for having written in Y once" crap. Just removal of no no words (set by mods) and some other extra features.
