Of Scotland leaves the UK, they are still part of the EU, unless they decide otherwise: after they have left.

On what delusioned world do you live?
Why should Scotland not have an opt out on the Euro? Hint: they are not even in! And yes, every Euro country can leave the Euro at their own will, nothing prevents them.
Oh, perhaps you did not notice, but UK, England, Scotland etc. are not in the Euro zone, they still have their 'pound'!
Btw, the majourity of the EU has book law. 'Precedence' only happens if 'top courts' rule 'beyond the law' ...
So regardless what is happening, it hardly is a 'precedence' !

I like to point out that Catalonia belongs to Spain, not France.
But of course all the regions you name will be sooner or later autonomous 'states' in the EU.
And many more, like Lorain, Alsace, Bavaria etc.

I'm not sure about Amazon or eBay, but I know my company does it due to how DNS works. Our CDN wants control over the DNS for the domain we use for them, so they can serve static content from the closest possible location. That doesn't jive with our application, as we need control over DNS for the many domains we also host, so the solution was a dedicated domain for CDN use.

E.U. laws require financial institutions to be headquartered in the country with the most customers.
Care to quote the law? I have trouble finding something like this with google.
Sorry, the rest is just nonsense.
Why should a bank refuse to have customers in Scotland?

The greeks are in that shit for various reasons.
The main one is: they are all tricksters, cheaters and betrayers. It is basically a greek sport since Homers time, so no one really cared until it backfired.
You heard about the island with 5000 inhabitants and 4000 of them blind? One or two years ago the health care insurance made a survey turned out there was only one single blind man on the island.
If you go to the greek archiples in a sailing boat it is strongly advised not to make funny radio calls: 'We have a problem!', other boat: "What the fuck, your GF does not like to give you a BJ at the rudder?", "No, it is far worse!", "Shut the fuck up, what is it then!?", "The beer is empty!".
Funny? No, not really, sad is: two hours later a coast guard boat from the greek coast guard comes along side and and they shout: "prepare to be boarded, we got your emergency call about having a problem".
The end of the story is: they escort you into a harbour and demand a 'security certificate' from you, that the ship is safe and well equipped because "they have on protocol your: we have a problem' radio call". Needless to say that the authorities in the harbour are unavailable for 3 days or more so you have to pay for being in the harbor and anything extra you 'do' there. The security certificate bottom line costs about 3k Euro.

Or the other story, you land with an airplane in Chania, Krete, Greece. You like to take the bus from the airport to the town. The driver and ticket seller throw you out of the bus. If you try to stay inside they throw out your luggage. They 'proclaim' the bus only has accidentally stopped at the 'clear to see bus stop' and force you that way to use a cab. Likely the cab of a relative ...

Oh, and btw. there is mo law preventing Greece from making their own currency, actually they 'threatened' to do so for quite some years.

The problem with Greece and the euro is: they simply became greedy. The last time I was in Greece a coffee in a random bar costed like 15 cents(euro), that is roughly 15 years ago, perhaps 17, just one or two years before the Euro.

So for 'western' tourists the country was cheap. In Germany you pay about 2.50 Euro per coffee. At that time around 1.10 Euro.
Guess what you pay now for a coffee in Greece? A random Coffee in Athens? It is likely more than 2.50 Euro. They try to rip off tourists, figuring how expensive a coffee is in Paris, London or Berlin. But a tourist there shrugs, and tells himself: first, that was my last visit to Greece, and second, I only take one or two coffees a day, instead of my usual 6 or 8.

What is happening, or has happened, is: the greeks are fucking themselves over.

Oh, and I can tell you minimum a dozen more 'fraud' or 'corruption' or 'abuse of power' stories I experienced in Greece! However the boat story is the one why no of my friends is going to visit the country in the foreseeable future.
You don't plan to make a vacation for 3k Euro as a two couples and come home with -6k or lose your own boat to the coast guard. That is ridiculous ... I guess if Angela Merkel have had similar bad experiences the greek would now have their own currency ...

Did not know that the english speak a celtic dialect ... or craft Wiskey for that matter.
Afaik Scotland has more in common with the people from Brittany, France and Galicia, Spain than with the english ... but well, I'm from mainland Europe, what do I know?

Scotland already has its own currency, it is called the Scottish Pound, issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland.
I believe they have that currency since several centuries ...

The british claim, they have no ground based nuclear weapons.

For tech start-ups, funding will be tougher to find and more expensive, there will be no local banks, access to EU markets and the freedom of movement will be curtailed,"
On what is that Angst based?
The claims are completely ridiculous.

Scotland is just the first one, many more european regions will follow. As the union becomes bigger, the fragments of it become smaller and more powerful.

The next candidate imho is Catalonia, and it is likely less than a decade that north Italy will separate from the south.

So, why exactly should any european country deny a Scottish citizen travel?

mistake of thinking that your German pronunciation is the absolute correct pronunciation, regardless of what language is being spoken or how the original language would have pronounced it.
Well, first of all, for most languages indeed german is very close to their pronunciations (includes wild examples like Finnish, Japanese, Hungarian, Turkish ... name one). The only two examples - from my mind - where it is not is english, and according to the writing, but less to the sound: French. However you certainly find native american or south american languages that are not easy to pronounce for germans, or african for that matter ... Thai comes to mind, or Cantonese)
And second: I don't make _that_ mistake :) I can read greek, don't understand much, but can more or less fluently read a text aloud ... no greek complained so far, except for ancient rules of 'stressing' sylables.

So, to paraphrase it, the only ones who have those ridiculous claims about attic greek are americans and to a lower extend englishs.

The rest of the european world, especially the greek, pronounce it as I suggested. So, very strange if one part west of the atlantic deduces that from old songs and the other part east of it deduces the opposite. (Actually the 'american' ... and in this case only the american, not including the UK ... opinion about how latin is spoken is the same: completely ridiculous considering that we have 'reto romanic', romanian, italian, spanish, portuguese as counter examples :) )

However your 'arguing' about how Achilles is spoken, nails it: Achilles is written in greek with the letter X (chi) as the second letter. So any 'k' sound in the middle is simply wrong.
Look at the word TeX, a text setting (programming) language and how it is spoken, the 'ch' in our roman transliteration of the greek word Achilles corresponds to the X in TeX and is pronounced likewise :)

My interpretation is: 100 or more years ago a small clique of american 'scholars' _invented_ the idiotic pronunciations of latin and greek and for some reason they became 'mainstream' or 'school knowledge' in the US ... and since a few decades or even a century no one challenged it.
(I just saw an old history channel movie about the battle at the Thermopylae, it is so ashaming what nonsense the narrators are claiming ... unbelievable ... and most of them are habilitated professors in well named universities. Seems american really have trouble to simply read old sources and have the urge to reinvent/retry/reexamine half assed 'ideas' because they believe that is more accurate than an ancient text. And ofc as always the name Leonidas was a pain in the ear, but well, same for any other greek Hero)

Reminds me a bit about the scene in the movie 'Star Gate' when the main character corrects the wrong translations.

But it is always funny to meet americans on a 'latin conference' proclaiming they can 'speak' latin fluent and everyone is clapping his tights because of their 'accent' ...
Granted however: my impression is much more americans actually _speak_ latin than europeans, only the 'accent' is funny.

Btw, a friend of mine teaches classic greek, however she is a greek ... so perhaps she is 'preoccupied' :)

Sorry, no point in arguing about it. All americans have a 'wrong' school education about how classic greek is pronounced ... I did not really want to make an issue about it, sorry if you actually learned classic greek, was mot meant as an offense.

Hmm. I know what vain satisfaction is, but what are the vane and vein variants? I'm feeling like I just can't get no.

Care to explain?
A jeans in Germany costs close to 100Euro, at least if you want one of those american brands. 2 per year is 200 Euro per year, 5 years makes that 1000Euro.
A good suit costs you less than 200Euro in work, the rest is the cloth you decide to make it from, so if you star in the midrange, make that perhaps 500 in total, if you take three suits you get rebate and are perhaps in the 1200 Euro range.
Nothing elitist about it, only calculating for your lazy ass the costs.
But you likely rather throw away 3 jeans a year instead of once visiting a professional tailor and ask his opinion.
Your fault, not mine :)

Suits are usually made from cloth that is far more robust than cotton used in jeans. And ofc they are not 'stone washed' and half destroyed like jeans when you buy them :)

Well if that is so in you country than try to get better regulations.
In Germany something like this never has happened, and we use coal ash as building material btw, no way it can fly around ...
Even in your case, when it contaminates ground water, that is more a chemical concern (mercury, lead, arsen etc.) than a radiologic one.
