I thought so too before moving here, but there’s two cities, and a lot of empty space (in the north in particular) with lots of towns and villages, it’s not like Monaco or the Vatican City in that regard.

That being said, it’s still all very close together, you can drive from the northern most point to the south in about 1.5-2 hours.

The funniest thing I’ve learned about the geography is that there is a North/South divide where people from either don’t trust people from the other.

Schengen - the village in Luxembourg where the Schengen Agreement was signed. The population was 5196 in 2023 (appears to be the last census quoted on Wikipedia) and the “Schengen Area”, covered by the agreement represents 450m people.

I think OP was picturing a situation like this.

A Choose your own Adventure Rejection

Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to try it out on my Italian friends :)

Yes, particularly as I get older the equipment doesn’t drain fully and needs a little help.

There’s a rhyme about it “no matter how much you shake and dance, the last few drops go down your pants”, well I choose to wipe instead of relying on the absorbance of my pants or trousers (the original saying is American so means trousers really).

I agree, the job of politicians is to reframe Trans rights as policies that benefit everyone. If everyone at a negotiation feels like they are winning you have a successful negotiation. Who cares if the new policy disproportionately benefits one group, we are all better off because of it, and in the case of Trans rights give them the same (non-codified) protections as everyone else.

(This is if course ignoring the oft used tactic of the far right which is to do the opposite and reframe beneficial policies (eh. ACA) as something that only benefits one group by calling it a funny name (eg. Obamacare), so it’s easier said than done, but that is what the democrats should be doing more of, imho)

First visit to the vet plays out like an Abbot and Costello sketch!

I’m only mentioning this because it’s not been mentioned in any other comments but there is a Python implementation for the CEF (Chrome Embedded Framework). It let’s you write your front end in HTML/CSS and JS while letting you call back to a Python backend. You can use any existing JS framework to do your styling (offering the most flexibility) while keeping business logic in Python. It’s not exactly what you were asking for, however you mentioned in a different comment thread that tkinter looked outdated, so thought I’d mention it.

The world will always need exterminators

This seems like a potential infinite loop because Jason has JavaScript which has JSON which has…

I mean all technology terms welcome, I didn’t consider them before. I don’t know if Kubernaughts is the right term for K8s practicioners but I suspect it should be.

I really like this one. 🤣

Haha, I always suspected!

Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*

*Meant as a turn of phrase and not a criticism of the language.

Amazing, thank you for this comprehensive list :)
