It's a good opportunity to experience what most people on Earth have to deal with. Please don't take it personally Simon, it's just that your compatriots tend to be the most entitled people I've met.

Certainly energy crisis is of political nature, but let's say Germany invested massively in the renewables. It's just not the best source of energy in most places in terms of return on investment. Not to mention the intermittency problem. If they just didn't close their nuclear reactors, Germany would be in much better position to weather off the crisis.

I've read quite a few stories where American parents kicked their grown-up child out of the house, so I don't know what to make out of it.

For 2, how often do you see Future Perfect Continuous or just Future Perfect anywhere outside of literary works?

I'd put grammar at much lower priority than vocabulary & common phrases, since knowing just a bunch of words (at least in most languages) can get you very far.

40 hours of flashcards and practice can cover maybe 90% of your typical tourist conversations for many languages. Where are you from? What is your name? What do you do? How much does it cost? Can you give me a discount?

I haven't figured out how I can upload videos to Odysee without buying LBRY (which is also not that trivial).

I guess the easiest way is to ask someone to donate me some, but I don't know anyone on LBRY well enough for this.

I didn't even realize you can potentially upload videos on Peertube instance which is not hosted by yourself. I'm totally not surprised this feature is not allowed on most instances.

so it just flattened the code by removing parentheses and braces around `using`? Looks like a really simple transformation.
