a rapidly improving economy like Bulgaria.

you know what often comes in the way of economic growht? corruption - and afaik Bulgaria is the most corrupted state in the EU to the point that even their top politicians are suspects

Love / Swedish Love for Poland [46]

o see that the Prime Minister was attacked in the street.

the latest news is though that it was a Polish man on drugs who did it

I guess the purchasing power of Belarusias is even more on par with Bulgarians then the average salary suggests

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [119]

I used to believe the myth that tea will help you sleep until I read that most tea has caffeine in it too.

I don't know about whether tea will make you sleep, however from my personal experience tea WILL NOT prevent sleep like coffee (afaik caffeine in tea is in a glucoside form which is probably why)

yoghurt for 50 cents will no longer have to travel 10,000 km before it is made.

where have you seen things like that?

Love / Swedish Love for Poland [46]

"Dziękuję, że jesteś. Z miłością ze Szwecji."

this is perfectly fine - the google translate rendition was not appropriate

have you heard of any recent (last couple of years) breakthrough in photovoltaics?

News / Polish coal will be back [129]

because hydro-electric potential in Poland is low?

Germany, which has similar hydro-electric potential to Poland produces less than 5 per cent of their electric power from that source

Why not hydro-electric,

because hydro-electric potential in Poland is low? why not solar and wind power? becuase it happens so that there are days without much sunshine (most of the winter) and with little wind - on sunny summer days Polands solar capacity already can produce 50 per cent of the energy in the grid - so what, when it's not as reliable as nuclear power (or coal for that matter) - even the greenest of the green Germany doesn't fully rely on renewables (if I recall correctly less than 50 per cent of energy produced in Germany in 2020 came from renewable sources - you can check it on wikipedia I guess)

News / Polish Silesian Autonomy movement [67]

too far gone but there's just not much interest in actually using more

which brings us back to the fact that English (even if it is a local variety) is what children learn at home and it might somehow be the reason

for some Irish people learning Irish may some kind of a hobby or interesting pasttime like me learning Czech (although in my case I haven't really put much effort into learning Czech and I know some mostly because of its (if somewhat distant) similarity to Polish - while Irish is more like Klingon to those Irish people who learned English at home)

News / Polish Silesian Autonomy movement [67]

the 19th century Polish was less attractive because

one thing was that the populace spoke Polish at home - this is where Polish children learned the language - any education in German or Russian started much later in school - this is not the case for the most part with Irish or Scottish Gealic (don't really know about the situation of Welsh in northern Wales but most people in southern Wales simply speak English) -

in general for 19th century Poland it was a question of 1) momentum (Polish just didn't vanish overnight) 2) identity (the German, Austrian and Russian occupants were perceived as hostile)

I'm not an expert on Irish - and my knowledge(?) on the subject stems from a quote from Sinead O'Connor's song "Famine" but... weren't the Irish in the time of The Potato Famine and afterwards, paid not to teach their children Irish?

I assume that policies regarding Scotts Gaelic

the languages are unattractive because the language spoken daily is English, a practical language that also enjoys a world language status - why bother with some backwater (and a bit too complicated) language like some insular Celtic one

History / Honoring - Otto Schimek [47]

Highly interesting and incredible!

it is also interesting that we don't know of many such cases - meaning they were few and far between

poczytaj sobie ten artykuł to może ci się tam coś rozjaśni - oko.press/afera-wizowa-informacje-i-manipulacje-o-masowym-naplywie-migrantow-sprawdzamy-fakty-i-liczby

apropos Paktu Migracyjnego - to narracja PO (w tym samego Tuska) się całkowicie rozjeżdża - właśnie przed chwilą słyszałem w telewizji jak Tusk mówił, że Polska beneficjentem Paktu - to dlaczego kazał swojemu ministrowi finansów głosować przeciw

albo dlaczego za czasów rządów PiS do przyjęcia paktu nie doszło

Natomiast PiS jest gotów poświęcić jak najbardziej realne polskie interesy aby wleźć w dupę Amerykanom :)

nie bądź dziecinna - to raz - dwa jakie polskie interesy PiS poświęcił by włazić w dupę Trumpowi?

Już pomijam PiS-owską aferę wizową... 🙄

PiS-owską aferę wizową, która okazała się wydmuszką, ale ty tego nie wiesz bo nie oglądasz wiadomości

że jesteś niedoinformowany:

widać, że ty nie śledzisz wiadomości od czasu wyborów bo Tusk mógł zablokować wcześniej Pakt Migracyjny zdaje się na Radzie Europejskiej - to ostatnie głosowanie było symboliczne bo nie była wymagana jednomyślność

może ja jestem jakiś niedoinformowany, ale zgoda na Pakt Migracyjny to robota Tuska i ekipy (take or pay anyone?)

PiS dostał wstrzyknięcie Anty-Rosyjskie

PiS był zawsze "Russia sceptical" - od 1990 kiedy się jeszcze nie nazywał PiS

tak jak PiS właził Trumpowi

jeżeli PiS Trumpowi właził w dupe to głównie symbolicznie (lub zgodnie z polskim intresem), natomiast Tusk i jego ekipa są gotowi poświęcić jak najbardziej realne polskie interesy aby wleźć w dupę Niemcom tudzież Brukselskim elitom
