Finland has tuition free PhD programs for nationals of any country, Germany and Netherlands offer paid research positions where you basically are a full time student and still a part time lecturer - working hours can be tough though, since you need to balance the two. If you have some modest savings, Malaysia has some excellent universities and very cheap tuition (I'm doing my phd here and pay about 10k USD for a 3 year program) and cost of living is very low.

My wife is Chinese and we put copious amounts on almost all dishes, plain and raw. Never got any stomach problems - have you tried again to check if that was really the issue? Might have been another ingredient after all.

If I don't want something, I give nothing. Most fundraisers are pure extortion, and I can't be bothered to check if something is legit or lining someone's pocket. "No" is a full sentence.

That's how you get turned away at the border. Happened already.

Only since 0.19.1, many instances haven't updated yet.

Well, now you know why sensible admins defederate from this trash. I'd suggest using an app that allows you to block instances from your side and ignore them.

Nah, it's the right thing to do. While the law was initially put in place to control nazi flags and other extremist display, using it to take down banners of banned terror organisations is justified.

Or how would you feel if your neighbor started flying an ISIS flag, for example?

Let's see if they can pull it off. Russians are extremely well versed in tech, and quite a resilient bunch. And the internet had already arrived at peak maturity when they retired to fence it in, making it way harder than in China where they managed to contain everything before it was too widespread.

Yeah, "suck less than the others" is exactly what I mean with race to the bottom. I shouldn't be forced to vote the lesser evil, but the better option.

Left and Right are equally disqualifying factors for me, I dislike radicalism. Which leaves maybe the SPD, but their candidates are all imbeciles.

So I could vote for Piraten or Die Partei, but let's face it - they have just about as much power as Graue Panther or Centrum.

I'd never use Maggi on my Mett, but to each their own. Personally I'm keeping it simple with just salt and pepper (extremely fine ground white pepper), and of course finely chopped onions. Red ones preferred. If I'm feeling frisky, I might add capres.

Yeah because people love to be forced out of their homes. Does the amount of money really matter? It's gentrification, plain and simple.
