@Alperto @SamsonSeinfelder There is “the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement”:

@BaroqueInMind @BrikoX I’m against the death penalty, because I don’t think that the state should have the right to end a person’s life.

Even in countries with a more liberal legal system (like Germany, where I live), there is the possibility that the judge decides that a person is a danger to the community even after the end of their penalty. It is called “life imprisonment followed by preventive detention”.

@worfamerryman Fibre is not my field of expertise. But it seems as if we have got some experts here in the thread.

@dingus @worfamerryman On DSL you have a limited set of frequencies that you can use for either upload or download. So you have to split these frequencies between upload and download. Also the DSL speed is highly depending on the length of the copper between your home and the switch cabinet on the street. (Just remember: DSL is the transmission of high frequencies over unshielded cables that never meant to transmit high frequencies) So the longer the cable, the lower the total possible bandwidth. And most people have a demand for a higher download than upload. So most people will prefer some 16 down, 2 up instead of 8 down and 8 up.

@Jamie Ah okay. I’m paying around 25€ per month including unlimited traffic and unlimited phone calls.

@Jamie @riotrick How much do you pay?

@HobbitFoot @BrikoX They are transitioning away from that kind of tourists that they don’t want - for obvious reasons. These cruise ship tourists are normally having few hours for the town. So they won’t have time to really discover the city, visiting the museums, taking their time in some small restaurant, … Instead they are carried through the city mostly by bus (I assume) and are pressed through some hand picked attractions.

@BrikoX Thing is: By now they are having a fixed list of not allowed user names. They now updated that list.

@zhunk @soyagi Interesting to see that something so small survived the reentry from orbit.

@DogMuffins @Amilo159 Maybe it also has got some insulating foam. This would make it floatable. This really looks like some tank. It looks toasty, so the question is: 1st stage or 2nd stage?

@soyagi I think that it can be some part of a rocket.
