Frightening.
But also very possible and possibly even probable.

Are there any plans for CSS Cafe to do anything before or after the conference?
I want to block my hotel and travel to make sure I will attend.
Split - I need that "at a glance" feeling of clear separation

A world map illustrating the true size of countries. The United States, outlined in orange, is overlaid on Europe, showing its comparable size across multiple countries. France, outlined in pink, appears much smaller and is placed over the southeastern U.S. The map highlights distortions in the Mercator projection.
One of the most common criticisms of the Mercator map is that it exaggerates the size of countries nearer the poles while downplaying the size of those near the equator.
With this tool, you can play around and compare the actual size of countries: www.thetruesize.com/
I didn't know where to start on this thread. I've chosen here.
You meant to say "within the EU most countries forbid pharmaceutical advertising, as well as legal services advertising. But Poland, on the other hand, exceptionally does not"
French resident here...
I'd be glad to help 😃

And people in the audience applauded?
They tried exactly this about 90 years ago. They called it "Deutschland über alles".
We've been here before.
It didn't end well for the "purists"

My "Discover" feed is practically identical to my "Following" feed, while my "Popular with friends" feed has very, very few entries.
Please give me a "Discover" feed WITHOUT threads that are in my "Following" feed.
My #BlueSky rant for the day. Thank you #bsky for listening.
"Following" 😎 concept easy to understand. Threads from those I am Following.
"Popular with friends" I assume are threads that are the most seen, followed or liked by those I follow?
"Discover"? N*I. Not a clue.
But. No matter what. Shouldn't these lists be exclusive of each other?

I run the 2 Silent Book Clubs in Paris (France).
The big difference is that everyone reads whatever they want - not a forced majority-chosen book - for their own pleasure.
I have learned so much from everyone else's choices, experiences and preferences.
