Well, I guess if you know the particular sing language they’re using, yeah. There are lot of different sign languages. Don’t know if every country has a different one, though, but there’s definitely a lot of variants out there.

Reply to LPT Request: What's the best way to save/purchase expensive items (car, furniture, tech etc) by lubricatedwhale97
It’s not that hard. I put away all the left over money at the end of each month into a separate account where it slowly accumulates over time. When I need to buy a new car, I transfer the money into my Main account and then just buy the car with it.

No, it’s not. 10,23€ = 10,23€.

Reply to LPT : ask for all hospital fees up front by [deleted]
I did that the last time we went to the hospital for the birth of our third child. They looked at me like I was an idiot but they complied. They told me that parking at the hospital was 3€ per day and that the coffee vending machine is 2 to 3.5€ per coffee.

Well done, comrade! Where can I find this masterpiece of yours? Steam?

Reply to comment by Blautopf in Eli5: what stops separatists from just declaring there independence? by BeautifulAd2418
No it’s not. If it would, there would be no crime at all. If I truly want to do something, I’ll do it, no matter what. If the only thing stopping you from doing something is the expected punishment, then there’s something inherently wrong with that system.
There’s a difference between “I would like to kill someone, but if I’m caught I’ll go to jail, therefore I won’t do it” and “I see no reason for killing someone. It’s wrong and immoral and I have no desire to do it.”

Exactly. That’s what I said. But the question was “what stops them from declaring independence?”. And nothing stops them. But there will be severe consequences if they do.

Nothing stops them. They can declare independence all they want. It just won’t be recognized by anyone. If they start making too much trouble, the government will come after them to restore the peace and unity of the country.

They are not. In civilized countries all power lines are run underground.
But the short answer is that it’s cheaper to run them above ground. Sure, it’s more dangerous and hazardous but saving money is more important than saving lives or having nice, neat and tidy cities.

Reply to ELI5: Why are clothes considered essential for survival? by acerthorn3
Yeah, try and go naked outside in the middle of the night. Or better, try sleeping naked outdoors. You will slowly but surely get cold and even if you survive a couple of nights, you’ll definitely get sick and this will start your path to your demise.
