Sadly your average person just doesn’t care about consumer rights, in any matter.
I learned my lesson about malicious DRM when Starforce broke my new computer’s DVD drive back in the day. Fortunately it was still under warranty so I had it fixed, but sucked all the same.
I would say the latter is closer. There’s a tiny pause after the k.
EU is at least trying to do something about that. As of last year stores are required to display the cheapest price they’ve had for an item in the past three months when they have something on sale. Not all stores comply, and of course they try to get around these by the usual shenanigans, like basically the same product being available from the manufacturer with two slightly different item codes.
Edit: I think I was mistaken, and it’s 30 days, not 3 months
That’s… That’s how we pronounce saxophone (saksofoni) in Finnish
Yes, I didn’t mean to imply it’s everyone. But it usually comes from an American.
It’s mostly because this has been a go-to response by Americans in topics about some European countries doing significantly better than the US: “It’s because they don’t have black people”.
Soon after it was formed, somebody dubbed Finland’s current government coalition the IKEA cabinet
-took seven weeks to assemble
-barely holds together
-leans heavily to the right
Here, let me adjust your sarcasm detector
When I last moved, I fit my six person dining room set in my VW Passat at the same time. The table was partially disassembled, all the chairs were whole. Pretty sure there was other stuff in the car at the time too. Regular people don’t need these giant pickups.
Well, technically both Julius and Caesar were his last names, Caesar was an extra name of unknown origin in his family branch. Since him it became a title.
This is pretty close to how it works here in Finland, although I’m not sure if it’s based on national or EU legislation. The cost of recycling is baked into the price of any electronics, and as a rule of thumb, you can drop off any small devices to be recycles at stores that sell appliances. When it comes to bigger appliances, the stores only need to take your old one if you’re buying a new one. You can of course also bring them to municipal recycling centers.
One way of taking human sacrifice
I’m not a Marvel guy, but I’m vaguely aware of that. But as someone who only read the occasional comic as a kid, it’s something I only learned of after the movies.
Well, he does play Nick Fury.
I realize I’m very privileged. If I’m working on an issue for a whole day or a half day, everything I do during that day is part of the solution and will be billed to the customer (and I’ll be paid for by my employer too). If that includes taking a nap, so be it. Results are what matter, as it should be. If someone ever starts saying I’m taking too long to do something I may consider changing my ways.
You’re further proving that you missed the point.
I’m a reserve officer, trust me I have some idea. Also, you’re missing the point by quite a margin.
The military doesn’t attract the brightest minds.
Reminds me of a joke that did the rounds shortly after Finland joined Nato.
Finnish general: “You know, it’s difficult, we have mandatory military service, but around 15% are unfit for service”
Other Nato generals: “That 15% is where we have to recruit from”
Whatever it does, it doesn’t seem to help with colors.
