News / 2011 Stats: 80% of Poles happy [60]

Yes. More or less this amount.
But remember - to reach the state of being happy it is enough not to be unhappy!!!
Like a 40 yo man says in the series when asked about his personal happiness: I am not unhappy and that already means a lot.

News / How will Trump's trade tariffs affect Poland? [74]

Zero dignity in trumpists whatsoever. First they spit at decent old Europe, next come begging for help on their knees.
Despite the extremely tense relations between the United States and Denmark recently, Donald Trump's cabinet has turned to the Danish government for help. The US is struggling with a serious egg shortage due to bird flu - and is looking for new suppliers in Europe.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has sent a request to the Danish government to deliver as many eggs as possible to the United States, industry organization Danske Aeg (Danish Eggs) reported Friday, as reported by Reuters. Donald Trump's government is also said to have sent a similar request to several other EU countries, including the Netherlands, Finland and Sweden.

The United States lost about 50.5 million of its 310 million hens to bird flu. This led to a drastic shortage of eggs in stores, which in turn drove up prices. Faced with such a serious problem, the US government admitted that it needed help from the countries with which it had just started a trade war.

History / Polish Army Day [82]

In communist times it was celebrated on 12th October,

Also, at the time, the military service lasted 2 years with one exception: 3 years in the Navy.
E.g, one Polish Prime Ministers, ex communist and then leftist politician Miller, did the service in a submarine squadron. He always repeated it had made him a tough guy.

USA, Canada / Will Americans flee from the US to Poland? [186]

completely crazy.

Exactly! Only us are normal. ):):)

Certain Am actor who is slowly gaining huge popularity just received Polish citizenship and is very proud of it.
American actor Jesse Eisenberg spoke on Jimmy Fallon's "Tonight Show" on Wednesday about receiving Polish citizenship. He said that when he later checked the news, "the main thing was that Poland was going to have military training for all men." "That was the day after I got it," Eisenberg said, drawing laughter from the studio audience.

"Congratulations. When you finish your military training, come tell us about your next projects," Fallon joked.

The Hollywood star spoke about applying for Polish citizenship in May last year, when he was a guest at the Impact'24 congress in Poznań. He explained that his family comes from Lublin and Krasnystaw, while his wife Anna Strout's ancestors lived in Łódź. In an interview with "Dzień dobry TVN", he emphasized that it was important to him that his wife and son could "spend more time with him" in Poland. He also informed then that he already had a Polish PESEL number.

Life / Unique medical treatments/practices/remedies from Poland [21]

powdery salt in the neti pot full of warm water,

That`s what I also use on the regular basis and even described it in post 15.
I mentioned there is no special medication for ulceration in my mouth. It originated when I was greedily eating my food a weeks ago - I bit the side of my cheek inside. And then from a small sore it turned into a small ulceration condition when constantly irritated by back teeth which are a bit sharp on the edges..

News / How is the Ukraine War effecting Poland and the rest of the E.U. [35]

Gdynia traffic police officers stopped an Audi driver for speeding. During the intervention, it was revealed that the man was a Ukrainian citizen and had a driving license issued by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - a state that ceased to exist in 1991.
For the officers, this was equivalent to having no driving license whatsoever. The 52-year-old Ukrainian citizen was fined PLN 800 for speeding, while for not having a valid driving license, the police officers prepared documentation that will be sent to the District Court in Gdynia.

Life / Poland vs Hungary for an expat? [41]

Hungarians are revisionist azholes who support the Kremlin against Ukraine, Poland and Europe.

A new look at historical Polish "Hungarian" friendship:
- There is a popular saying in Poland: "Pole, Hungarian, two brothers..." . And I like it a lot too. However, I know that it does not refer to Hungarians at all - smiles Dzurilla. - It refers to us, Slovaks. This saying was created several hundred years ago, when Slovakia was "Upper Hungary" within the Kingdom of Hungary, and later a Hungarian province within Austria-Hungary. Poles and Hungarians themselves certainly liked each other, but it could not have been a... mass friendship. Mainly through language. How many Poles understand Hungarian and Hungarians speak Polish? Rather few. And with Slovaks, Poles simply understood each other.

Life / Unique medical treatments/practices/remedies from Poland [21]

So how is your health,

Lousy. My jaw problem still persists - it is a small but nasty ulceration in the back of my mouth where the last teeth constantly irritate the mucous membrane and nothing helps, coz I would have to stop talking for a few days.
No medicaments for it, only gel and antibacterial rinsing fluid. And time.

Eating with this condition is a painful process, each morsel is hell but I will manage cos this is only physical pain, sth to be ignored, compared to mental ailments which can`t be ignored to easily.
.
Another problem is laryngitis and the beginning of sinus inflamation. When my students and fellow teachers heard my voice today, they were shocked that I was still alive. hahaha
This also shall be overcome cos such is the nature of things.

The doctor told me today he could issue a sick leave for me. I said I didn`t want to lose even one day and the last time I took 3 days off was in 2004 when I damaged my spine during extensive workout. He is going to call me on Monday to check out if I am willing to stay in or go to work.

unleash a nuclear holocaust on your own country. Please don't deny it.

Ptak, talk to PiS rightists who are dreaming about nukes. They are your best ideolo buddies so conversing with them on the topic will be fascinating pleasure to both of you.

In a latest interview, Pres Duda urged Am adminstr to deploy nuclear weapons in Poland.

History / Where did Poles spend summer vacations in the PRL era? [63]

They wore them and they were enough

They did but check when. First they were walking nude. Veritable Paradise!

in which Adam and Eve used fig leaves to cover their nudity after eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Po polsku / Dyrdymałki o Niczem 2 [312]

Niedawno miałem dziwny i straszny sen. Śniło mi się że spokojnie sobie pykałem na moim pierwszym małpim komputerku gdy nagle wjazd na dziuplę zrobiły wściekłe harpie. I od razu huzia na Józia z pazurami i dziobami. Wrzeszczały na cały regulator: Ty kłamco bezczelny! Wcale nie jesteś małpą!!! Zrzucaj tę maskę!!!! I wyzywały mnie od człowieków itp.
Walka była ostra ale dałem radę obronić się moim komputerkiem który ma specjalne opcje do użycia przeciwko indywiduom wszelakiej maści.
Na koniec obudziłem się zlany potem. Na szczęście to był tylko sen. Uuuuf!!!

News / How will Trump's trade tariffs affect Poland? [74]

Tarrifs are the sword which has two edges - while one hurts your enemies, the other might hurt you.
Danish supermarket chain Netto began marking European products with asterisks shortly after US President Donald Trump imposed punitive tariffs on the European Union. In Denmark, more and more customers are joining the boycott of American products.

The well-known grocery chain Netto, owned by the Danish concern Salling Group, has decided to discreetly help customers boycott goods from the United States. On its domestic market, Netto began labeling European products on Thursday so that consumers can make more informed purchases.


BTW, Netto also operates in Poland.
