News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [575]

Interesting - unfortunately a golden dome won't be much use against hijacked airliners, anthrax, crystal meth or machine guns bought at Walmart, all of which have actually happened

But the US can just buy them - they belong to the Greenlanders, but in any case are stuck under a load of ice

Plenty of excellent Canadian Whisky too - I love a Makers Mark especially for a Manhattan but great alternative is Canadian Club (they have it at Dom Whisky) or a good old Chivas Regal

Could you give some examples of these strong societies?

USA, Canada / Lexus and Corvette brands to disappear from the American market? [3]

The hybrid versions are very popular with Poland's wealthier citizens - cheap to run and reliable. But they prefer to buy direct from the dealer - many Toyota dealerships now have a Lexus concession next door

So this is going well

Halfway through Jan and still no US fast food.

Taking a work break today in a mall I swerved Starbucks and am having frozen yoghurt in Polish owned Yogoland - I doubt it's healthier but certainly cheaper and less of a queue. 7 zloty for a black coffee, I doubt you can find cheaper anywhere in the city

Been awesome to witness Poland's transformation into a tolerant nation

No coincidence that living standards and health have improved as its become a more inclusive country

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 28 [243]


Since when ?

Even before they got kicked out of the accession process in 2014 there was no interest in admitting them and no realistic comparison.

I judge them against the standards of another oil rich, corrupt regional power - Nigeria !! With the difference that most things in Nigeria are moving in the right direction and investor interest is growing

Horrible video to watch. After the war all involved, including African fixers, will be in the Hague

By next week the bond markets will be telling Golden Cow what to do

Anyway seems like a half sensible solution has emerged - a US-Danish-Greenland working group that will report its findings I guess shortly after problem number 1 has been removed / died / term ends.

Fresh news however is that the US' new ambassador just called Iceland the 52 state. A joke apparently

Work / finance salaries in Poland [17]

For a qualified Polish speaker managing maybe 4-5 people that is about right in Warsaw. Without Polish then there is little chance of anything gut the most basic position.

So given your positive attitude - it's best you get your family to sort something out for you

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [967]

@Bobko

So with the steel and the aluminum then you are probably correct but long term we need alternative energy sources - it is senseless to rely on onreliable partners who then blackmail us.

With the AI data centers I am struggling to give a **** - there are still not many use cases for it, other than a glorified google. If the economic model involves using finite energy at the expense of useful industries like steel then someone needs to have a rethink. But whatever the energy needs, the bigger issue is where to put these - some of the proposed sites are huge - 20-30 hectares - and it's difficult to fit that kind of installation into Europe as Tesla have seen

Yawn - for 4 years you have been predicting this.

You know that even when this is finished nobody will want to buy your crappy oil, except turd world tyrants.

I see the Eurostoxx has comfortably outperformed US and Chinese indexes this last year so someone must be shifting a lot of cheese and chocolate

One industry that is performing especially well is defence - the superior performance of European weapons, including Polish, has not gone unnoticed. Interesting tests have been conducted in the Pokrovsk and Kupiansk areas LOL

So we will have to do without fake **** and recipes taken from a 10 year old Reddit thread ? Catastrophe

Crazy comparison

Zelensky is elected and doesn't murder his own people. He believes in the free market, human rights and the rule of law.

Senseless to compare him to dictators like those or Putler who is also a murderer.

How's it going ib Pokrovsk BTW ?

Estonia has banned entry permanently to any Notth Nigerians who fought in Ukraine

Excellent move and I hope Poland follows suit, including banning entry to anyone involved in the military machine - cyber trolls, reservists, back office staff. This is a not a country for war criminals to visit

Rubio wouldn't get through Republican primaries - not crazy enough

It will probably be someone completely new

Work / finance salaries in Poland [17]

Ok whatever - so ask your family.

I have long experience in finance in Poland and have employed maybe 100 people over the years

Without speaking Polish your only options are shared service centre work. Or options outside finance like Uber, Glovo or work in restaurants.

With a work permit and speaking Polish you have far more possibility

Work / finance salaries in Poland [17]


Agree. I can give you a sensible answer if I know more about the level you are looking at

But negative or not, if your Polish is not at a good level then you won't get much more than PLN 5.000 gross.

If you can speak Polish your value doubles

But first you need a work permit unless you are a citizen

Food / Traditional Polish Soups. [135]

Plenty of good pho places in Warsaw and other Polish cities these days - I really like the one on junction of Wilcza and Krucza

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [575]

I see that weird Vance has decided to join this meeting about Greenland. Takes it from being a sensible discussion to another potential Ambush which I guess the Danes will be well prepared for.

Obvious jockeying between Vance and Rubio now for the succession - but I can't really see either of them winning an election. They don't have Trump's touch with the voters. Probably they will knife each other and a compromise candidate will get the nomination.

That's cool - should be able to withstand another 4 years of sanctions then

Life / Using less American stuff in Poland [79]

Mostly diet versions but it's still not better. I did have a coke yesterday with some spicy food but in general feel better without it already

Wondering now about music choices - I'm a huge hip hop fan so using spotify is still going to funnel royalties to those artists. Many are sympathetic to Golden Cow or have performed for him. My solution is to stream either dead dudes or more Polish, British and French rap

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 28 [243]


Who in Europe is "sitting tight" ? Most European countries continue to give military and financial support to the Ukrainians fighting the illegal invasion

We accept that the US no longer wants to be involved and we accept that Golden Cow has tried to organize a ceasefire but that Putler is not interested in signing it.
