Travel / Road traffic - Emergency lane use [23]

Why only electric cars?

Why not?

If any car could use it, then it wouldn't be a bus lane.

I'd imagine it's a temporary measure since when most/all cars are electric, there would be too many and of course bus lanes are more important.

it's discriminatory against non-EV car owners.

It's not; it's an incentive for good habits.

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

Thing is, it will be people like Musk who will "save" the world....you know?

Or destroy it. And the moon too, if he wa able to.

Yes, Canada has a lot to offer them.

More than where they live.

You need to either take more medication or less.

Food / Polish cookbook - down to earth hearty Polish cuisine [33]

Jerusalem artichoke, scorzonera, cardoons, salsify or kale

All very British too. Of course the climate is similar and different; we both have those, you have things like pumpkins and gherkins and we have more green veg.

Plus taste/tradition. You have Hamburg Parsley (pietruszka, the root) but almost no parsnips, we have parsnips but almost no Hamburg Parsley.

Cardoons are rare now and could do with a revival.

Salsify and scorzonera are fiddly and not as good as carrots.

Travel / About cars, electric and combustion in Poland. [162]

our industry does not make them

It doesn't make smartphones either buy every cùnt's got one.

Until someth8 g greener supersedes it, electric cars are here for the foreseeable and in a few years time, the old ones will be museum pieces.

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

Your 'question' is pointless since you very well know that the vaccine in question has been superseded by a newer one.

That's how medicine works, unless your wife's syphillis is still being treated by Salvarsan and Mercury ointment.

A meaningless post from you.

The vaccine is a vaccine and new ones are ding developed all the time. The ones I had were different each time as doubtless were the ones you had.

Now back in your box, troll.

Britian quit administering them at one point in time if I am not mistaken.

The U.K. has a current programme so you are mistaken. Vaccines save lives, and the whole point of universal healthcare is that pharmaceutical companies do what we want not the other way round.

Back under your rock, you piece of odpada medyczna.

everything is to serve you and make you acheieve happiness.

Yes, provided the you is a plural.

program

All immunisation programmes in Europe have been a success. It is one of humanity's greatest achievements and one which has extended people's lifespans and made the community healthier.

Stick to things on your own level like roadkill, duelling banjos and child abusing lodgers.

As you were told, the immunisation programme has been a success in Europe. Vaccination as a whole and universal healthcare are among the greatest achievements of our species.

Since you know nothing about Europe other than what you've read online, you should know your place and stick to things on your own level, like obesity and violence to women.

Mine was a superstar.

Hard to know why anyone would need one for 'protection' unless they live in a highly dangerous place in which case any assailant would just shoot it.

Lots of little incidents, nothing major.

They handled it all fairly well by all accounts.

Paris

A long long tradition off violent public protest there, with riots planned long in advance so people can book their holidays on those dates.

the millions who died

They didn't.

I got the vaccine and boost like couple times, never got covid or even close

Quite. Some of these characters (like the one above) believe they 'know' more than the people responsible for Public Health, and in any case, what they 'know' comes solely from the internet.

I've kept up to date with the boosters and have not knowingly had Covid.

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [440]

them what they'd like to drink

The late Anthony Hogg who was usually on the money about both wine and cocktails wrote (in the 70s when he was already old) that at a smart lunch, rather than ask what people want when they arrive, just press a glass of chilled champagne into their hand.

I just used to whistle and my doggie always came.

Hard to know why someone would want all those "commands" unless they're training police dogs.

Poor elderly high risk patients

We shouldn't forget the 83 kids in American Samoa who died of measles after that Kennedy person and his 'foundation' started intentionally pushing vaccine scepticism there.

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

You seem to be confusing Marxism with Owenism, Social Democracy Trade Unionism. Easy perhaps if your understanding of life derives entirely from the internet.

As an employee, presumably you receive a wage and are in a Union. Perhaps one day, if you sacrifice your own interests in favour of your employer's, perhaps they'll let a tiny bit of their wealth trickle down to you.

revolutionary

Where did you pull that gem from, fat boy?

Everybody can have savings. Providing they don't spend their wage on pizza or Skype credit to make menacing phone calls that they thought were anonymous...

Perhaps you should wind down the rather pathetic schoolboy attempts at rhetoric; they just make you look foolish.

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

still pays US taxes.

They're quite bizarre. I used to own some shares in a large American company and had to fill in tax forms for there, even though I've never lived there and in any case, they'd have no way of enforcing anything.

I sold them in the end, partly because I was annoyed at having to fill a foreign country's forms in and partly because of employment conditions and certain other ethical concerns about the company.
