Life / Unmedicated home birth in Poland? [7]

A hospital birth would be more stressful but probably safer? What if there are complications or something; they would still have to transport you to a hospital.

News / Polish castle to be demolished? [4]

Why would they do that? On the other hand, everything gets commercialized in Poland and the "history" value tag is not as high as it used to be.

Real Estate / What is hardest with being a landlord in Poland? [3]

Possibly watching out for professional squatters who know that in Poland they can get away with stealing your property, especially if they have big family with kids. The laws are terrible for landlords in this aspect.

Law / Buying restaurant - check conformity [2]

A legal restaurant should have proper permits, including sanepid control. It's done at least once a year. The seller must have it; if not, you can get the documents from the proper office.

Law / Validity of guest invitation to Poland [2]

I think as long as the invitation is valid, you may be able to apply for a new visa with it (ask legal sources though or the Polish embassy).

Law / Selling a cello in Poland [4]

I think the music shop wants to abide by the law (or make it easier for you) by stating the cello was sold on Poland territory. I think it shouldn't matter for you - payment could have been done on the Internet and then the borders don't matter. If you're still worried, you may try to word it differently (eg. that the sale was "executed" in Germany, but payment was made in Poland). In general, I don't think it's something to worry about.

Off-Topic / Use your old PC or smart phone to land on the moon (or Mars) [3]

Asked AI / Google about the processing power of computers in 1970 (a year after "moon landing"). The response is below. The relevant quote:

"The total computing power of the ENTIRE WORLD in 1970 ... is a tiny fraction compared to the processing power in even PERSONAL COMPUTERS."

So your old personal computer is more powerful than all the computing power NASA had available to "put a man on the moon." When Musk has recently traveled 55 miles to, as they call it, "orbit," it was one of the "greatest achievements" in science. Compare 55 miles to 238,000 miles to the moon (55 miles is 0.00023109243 of 238K miles). Then double the miles because the astronauts "returned."

I'm not going to argue, it is just mind blowing how easy it is to fool people these days.

Love / Smitten and Wondering [81]

As you can see, nothing has happened yet.

Love / Smitten and Wondering [81]

As a married man I can tell you, forget her before you ruin your marriage and your life. She was sent by satan to ruin what God has prepared for you. Would you really exchange a hug, a kiss or a one-time stand to destroy yourself and your family?

Do not do it, it's not worth it. Your every move will have consequences. Such women prey on weak men, but she doesn't know or you may not know you are strong enough to say "No. Sorry, I'm married and I don't want to wreck my life."

Life / Do young Polish people believe in their religion and God? [155]

There is nothing greater than God so He couldn't be created because He created everything and has always existed / will always exist. The concept of time as we understand it doesn't exist for God. We cannot fully understand it.

Life / Do young Polish people believe in their religion and God? [155]

I asked the AI bot: Who created the Earth? The response:

"According to the Bible, God created the heavens and the earth. However, according to scientific research, Earth formed around 4.54 billion years ago by accretion from the solar nebula. Volcanic outgassing probably created the primordial atmosphere and then the ocean, but the early atmosphere contained almost no oxygen. Much of the Earth was molten because of frequent collisions with other bodies. Over time, Earth began to cool and oceans of liquid water formed."

"Scientific research" is a joke. If we still assume what they write above is true, then the next questions: Who created the "solar nebula," who created the air, who created the fire, who created the wind, who created the bird, who created a dog, who created the colors, who created the stars, who created the voice, who created the gravity, who created the electricity, who created emotions, etc. We can go through millions of questions and the "scientific research" has only one answer: give it some billions years and it will all be created out of nothing. The Bible is the only answer to all these questions.

Off-Topic / Energy-free rail from North to South? [19]

Since people were told the Earth is a globe, how about this - build a railroad from the North, eg. Sweden or North of Poland down to South, eg. Italy. The train would use no energy because it would just slide from the top to the bottom of the Earth, like on a big ball. It would save a lot of energy. In fact, the heat energy produced by brakes could be stored and sold.

Opinions?

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

"Early stage" - with technology, the stage has been lowered from 8 months to 3 months (they can keep the child in an incubator to grow normal from 3 months).

Anyway, when you cut off a dick of a man, it doesn't make him a woman - it's a similar analogy.

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

It is amazing how the left always spouts fake concern about the children when they fight to abort or abuse them ("lowering the age of consent" / introducing children to the LGBT garbage).

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]

On a daily chart, first top on May 18, second on May 20.

I'd be very careful investing in the US stock market until after the elections. It is obvious that China, the mass-media, most US corporations (Google, Facebook that face anti-trust from Trump's cabinet), WHO, and the US deep-state have been working together since Feb 2020 to collapse the US economy through the "virus" so that Trump is not re-elected. It appears to work very well (check the US voter sentiment and polls). My prediction is that between June and Sep the next market crash could be here to reach their ultimate goal, ie. removing Trump. Trump trusts the Fed but they could back-stab him; once they do (all they could do is to stop buying debt for a couple of weeks), it would be the final nail to the stock-market coffin by November.

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]

I talk about the bailouts (Obama's was 800 billions = 0.8 trillion). But you're right about Trump's debt, which is 2 times as much as the Zero. Trump is the version 2.0 of Obama in destruction of the US economy.

If johnny_reb is honest (and he, unlike you, appears to understand the stock market), he will have to admit the unprecedented scale of the Fed's (now Trump = Fed) intervention and destruction of the stock market, taxpayer's savings, and US dollar.

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]

In 2016/17, I was all for Trump, but now it is clear that he works for the Fed and the corporations. He stole 2 trillion dollars (could go up to 4 trillion) from our future. When Obama stole 0.8 trillion, all "republicans" were outraged. Now Trump destroyed not only the Stock Market (it is now a casino run by the fed), but the US dollar too. For one $1000 check sent to a US family, he prints and gives away $100000000 to one corporation. "One dollar for you, 1 billion of dollars for me."

Rubio was right about him being a con man. Since the day he let Bannon go, he's been a pathetic loser and embarrassment to the US working class. I don't know how people can still defend him at this point.

News / WOSP in Poland [161]

What most Poles fail to notice is the epic failure of the healthcare system in Poland. It's not the first time that someone (even famous) dies in a Polish hospital due to lack of modern technology and, unfortunately, low quality of Polish doctors. In the US, this person would most likely survive even if admitted to the worst 'public' hospital in a black neighborhood. In Poland, it's always 50-50 because there's little responsibility (you cannot sue the government) if someone dies due to malpractice and it still works like in the mediocre socialism era. The Polish government steals a lot of money from workers to support this failing healthcare system and many hospitals still have to count on street organizations like WOSP to buy the necessities.. Where's the outrage on that?

You may try to check with Czech collectors; the gun laws in Czechia have been historically more liberal than in Poland and they may have more choices available down there.

The rates will likely be similar to repairing a car. Best to find a motorcycle enthusiasts and work with them. Here is an example Polish website that works with motorcycles and they have rates for all services (use a translator if needed): ismserwis.pl/cennik-uslug-serwisowych/

News / Austria's swing to the far right on Poland? [229]

Austria has been historically close to both Hungary and Germany (two opposing forcing right now), so who knows which force will prevail. For Poland and the current government it's good news.
