Or use tsv or xsv and never quote a field again.

I think the wire ones usually do too. When they're out of power and possibly if it rains, they go straight until they reach the wire, and then follow it home to dock.

GPS are very fancy ones, unless that's changed since I last looked into it. A buried wire, "invisible fence", has been the norm for all consumer grade ones I've seen.

Sure there are. There are border controls between Germany and Denmark and between Denmark and Sweden. They were supposed to be temporary, but here we are nine years later and they're still up.

Where I'm from, we had a wealth tax, but when it was removed in 2007, it only accounted for 0.43 % of all taxes because it was too easy to avoid.

Yes! I forgot about this one! The absolute confidence despite being so ignorant is really, really infuriating!

Reminds me of some 20 questions-like tv trivia where someone asked "is it an animal" and the other went "well, not exactly an animal". It was a bird. 😳

I'm talking about my own experience, which is Sweden. Municipal landlords are not something that's going away. They're usually way more fairly priced and a lot of student apartments are rented by them.

Municipal landlords have by far been the best in my experience. They're not for-profit, their employees are strongly unionized (though the ones in private companies might be too) and they actually respond to issues you're having in a timely manner.

That's good to know. And in the premise of this thread it's relevant. However, since we're used to sentence case now, it still makes sense to keep it that way unless there's a compelling reason to switch.

On the other hand, street signs in Sweden, where I come from, are uppercase. I was completely used to that despite reading mostly sentence case in any other situation. However, since I moved to Denmark, where street signs are sentence case, I now feel like it takes slightly longer to parse signs when I go to Sweden. I guess if I'm correct, that's a case for quick acclimatation, as this happened over only a few years.

I highly doubt cheetos and Mcdonald's is all they eat though. No matter what your diet is, nutrition matters. But once you've got that covered, you deserve a damn snack once in a while.
