Exactly. The risk is too high for me to personally want to take that chance. It seems like many others also come to the same conclusion in their risk assessment. Nonetheless there are still thousands of people visiting the United States (and China, for that matter) every day. The majority of them aren’t randomly arrested on some trumped up charge.
Probably true. Luckily my son hasn’t yet gotten to that age, but he certainly will, sooner rather than later…
The United States are now more or less on the same risk level as China. While it’s likely that your visit is going to be uneventful, there is a chance that you may be disappeared without any form of recourse.
I remember visiting Mohenjo-Daro in the mid 1990s and being impressed by the sheer scale of time between these remnants of civilization and myself. It’s sad that the site isn’t as developed as it deserves to be, since it is among the oldest proofs of civilisation still around.
Thanks! This sounds interesting and I’ll look into it.
Concerning parental controls I share your doubts. While you may be able to have some form of limited control over the device used by the child, there is no control whatsoever over the type of content shared by peers. It just seems difficult to make sure that my children already have the necessary skill set of critical thinking at a very young age. I know for a fact that I didn’t have that skill at the age of 6 or 10. Luckily I only ever got my first mobile phone, a good ol’ Nokia brick, at the age of 16.
I hope it was screwed tightly.
Awesome, I’ll try it that way next time.
Awesome, thank!
Hagelslag is awesome as a topping as well. It’s finer than baking chocolate chips, which I really enjoy.
Can you provide the recipe you used, please? I’ve tried out different recipes for Carbonara but I feel like I can never achieve the same creaminess as they do in my favourite Italian restaurant. I’m hopeful though.
I fail to see a scenario where Europeans and China come into direct conflict. Even if/when China invades Taiwan I don’t see the Europeans committing to the Pacific, given the Russian threat directly at home. Therefore the only real war scenario seems to be a direct war with Russia. For this the Gripen should be solid, especially with uncertainty about the availability of some capabilities of the F-35 likely depending on US support.

It’s short for “eetlepel” :-)
Not really meal prep, but I found that the major step forward was the simple act of planning out the meals I want to prepare during the upcoming week beforehand. This allows me to just buy the stuff I need. I then proceed to cook one meal from my weekly list per day. Over the course of the months I got quite good at finding a mix between quick & easy recipes and more ambitious ones.
For all of this I recommend the Paprika3 app. It’s an invaluable tool for keeping track of recipes, planning meals for the week and even making a grocery list based on the planned meals. With a family, including small children this really cute down on the wasted time of making several trips to the supermarket.
I try to avoid the heavy cream in this type of dishes to end up with a Al Burro sauce instead of the Americanised Alfredo sauce. I understand that this version ends up being much creamier though.
A really nice picture. Although I have never been to Cape Henlopen, I’ve spent many hours studying maps of Lewes for my hobby as an amateur mapmaker. Sorry for the link to Reddit, but I do feel like I’ve connected to that place somehow by virtue of these creative projects.
Ich bin alt genug, um der Stolze Besitzer eines ADAC-Straßenatlasses zu sein; mittlerweile leider hoffnungslos veraltet :-)
Anscheinend funktioniert “Bücherei” als Suchbegriff, “Bibliothek” nur, wenn das im Namen vorkommt.
Leider ein Beispiel, warum der Ansatz von OSM zwar gut ist, aber das derzeitige Produkt leider nicht auf dem Niveau des Platzhirsches ist.
OSM-Daten sind genau so gut, wie Freiwillige sie gemacht haben.
Ist bei Google Maps grundsätzlich an vielen Stellen genauso, aber die User-Basis ist vielfach größer.
Dafür, dass sie “on-demand” heruntergeladen werden wie bei Google Maps, haben sie wohl nicht die Ressourcen.
Leider noch ein Beispiel, wie die Funktionalität leidet. Für eine anstehende, längere Fahrt in den Urlaub müsste ich also das Kartenmaterial quer durch Europe runterladen. Das ist leider für mich nicht praktikabel und wieder ein Punkt, der den etablierten Marktführer weiter auf dieser Position verweilen lässt.
Bitte nicht falsch verstehen; ich würde gerne weniger auf Google-Dienste zurückgreifen und tue das an vielen Stellen (Mail, Cloud-Storage, Kalender, Browser) auch erfolgreich. Gerade Maps hat aber einfach keine ansatzweise gleichwertige Alternative, die nicht gleich zum Hobby wird.
There’s more with an agreement. Some also have a partial agreement, where only a written test is necessary. Here’s the full list, if you’re interested: https://www.german-way.com/for-expats/living-in-germany/german-drivers-license-reciprocity/
The last time I visited China was ca. 2005/6 and pretty much matches what you describe.
The last time I was in the United States was in 2015. While I work in banking (specifically IT for banking) it was fairly chill at the time. I changed jobs though in early 2016 and haven’t been required to leave the EU for work related travel since, which is incredibly reassuring.
