@ZeroSum06 Funny. We had a supermarket that automatically opened on Good Friday. Which is the most strict holiday equal to Christmas.

And the American DMV is so crazy. We have those services licensed out to other service business, like the places where you get annual independent car safety checks done, or the automobile association.

I could get my drivers license photo updated and register a car with new permanent plates, in a lunch break, and still have time to get hand made sushi.

@ned Basically, phone calling will be over if you can't trust what you are talking to.

It's crazy watching the implosion of the Europe.

We have some of the same problems but, at least, the electricity is still reasonable. We have many huge hydro dams, and instead of nuclear, we have geothermal for reliable base load.

We flip-flop between a leftish and a rightish government. It is interesting seeing working people celebrate the current direction of the rightish coalition. We have mixed-member-proportional voting.

New Zealand has gigabit fibre to the home in every village with more than ~60 houses
1000/500Mbps. In towns and cities, 8Gbit. But the most common plan is 300Mbps because it's ~20% cheaper than gigabit.

The other 5% of the county has fixed 4G internet, some places use satellite.

They took down the copper network in my street about two years ago. The 300Mbit internet is €39/month. I could be cheaper, but everything is expensive on an island.
