I live in the Netherlands at 5 km distance from the border. The Netherlands and Germany are both members of the EU, where there is free travel of people and goods across all borders. So why can't I get my electricity from Germany?

Here in the Netherlands we do that all the time. It costs us billions of euros in useless infrastructure and failed ICT projects. Especially with big ICT projects our government has a failure rate of nearly 100%.

2020 is a long way away. Politicians usually only have long term vision when they don't want to make decisions about something. So MS will most probably still be strong in Korea by 2020.

That's a pity for the insects, but we live on this planet too, you know. We can't undo all of our pollution.

I agree with all you say. So much so even that I'm beginning to wonder if you meant to reply to me or the person I replied to.
Instinctive fear is of course not in itself irrational, but some people have their instinctive fear tuned up so high, so to speak, that they can't be in the same room with a harmless spider. That is irrational even when it's not yet a fobia.

My mum has an HP from that time which still works like it is new. And indeed, its battery is utter rubbish. You have to recharge it after 45 minutes, and that is when the battery is new.

It's remarkable how much capitalization and punctuation do for readability.

Of course he doesn't know that. He never looked any further than windows 8 or he wouldn't like it so much.

That will help of course but it doesn't help against news that makes you angry, or friends who don't reply on Skype etc. ;)

Woosh :)

I did. It's not defined in the Urban Dictionary, so Rule 34 doesn't exist.

I don't think that really matters to the people being killed by the sharks though.

Irrational fear is not a survival tool. It's a way to get you killed more easily by the thing you fear. Irrational fear makes you panic, and panic makes you do the wrong things, like running away from predators or trying to swat bees with your hands, making them angry and much more likely to sting you.

What is that?

I voted 'TV show' bit I meant Documentary. And currently I'm trying to reinstall the rule not to watch a screen an hour before going to bed. Watching lit-up screens makes your brain go all Weeee! because of the blue light screens emit. So I read the paper, stroke the rabbits or potter around the house a bit before going to bed. Nothing physically or mentally straining of course. And I drink warm liquids, like tea or hot milk (chocolate or anise).
