Sounds horrible and for me it is unimaginable. In Croatia, you rarely hear that a car waa broken into even in bigger cities. In smaller towns a lot of people don't even bother to lock their cars.
I suspect it might be due to demand/ability to unload hot goods. Or maybe yall got it good in Croatia and no one feels the desire to go rifling through cars?
If you google "Chesa Boudin" and hit question box marked What Did Chesa Boudin Do? It reveals thus
"Then, in November, Boudin did something no San Francisco DA had done before: He charged a police officer with homicide, for the killing of an unarmed Black man in 2017"
I think it has more to do with culture than police effectiveness as we are not so popular as a country with good enforcement of law. Croatia is a small country and there is always someone that knows someone even if he is on the other side of the country. So even if somebody steals something from someone, there is a big chance that it is someone you know (he knows when you leave your house, when you get back etc.), so it would be a really big shame if you find out that someone you know stole something from you. Therefore, most thefts are done by Roma people because they are somewhat excluded/isolated from society.
In countries like Croatia the police is busy catching criminals instead of helping them inject heroin, going after mean people on Twitter, or calculating if the robbed amount is under 900 USD and then apologising to the thief and giving him a ride home like the SF police do.
Only 5 years sounds too good to me. In Zagreb, average price per m2 is about 2000 eur, and average monthly salary (in Zagreb) is little bit more than 1000eur which ia about 12000 eur per year. If you manage to save 20% you can get small 30m2 apartment in 25 years but most people go with credit loans which makes full repayment even longer.
That doesn't sound too unreasonable, since people frequently get a 30 year mortgage and don't actually wait until they have a pile of cash to put on a house. At least, that's how it is in America, not sure about Croatia.
Because transporting it (it's heavy) and recycling it consumes more resources than making it fresh.
Additionally glass is harmless in the environment, and it's not something we can ever run out of.
So why do it?
Additionally, if you actually do want to recycle things, glass shards contaminate everything, making it much more difficult and expensive (i.e. consumes more resources) to do it.
What you're describing is mostly a failure of US commingled recycling system. Meanwhile most of EU countries successfully recycle about 90% of collected glass, collected in glass-only containers.
Making new glass can be an issue, as it typically uses sand, which is not very renewable and sand mining in many countries causes massive issues with flooding, droughts, sinking, black markets, even sand mafia!
No we should not landfill everything after a single use, or we will soon run out of reasonably accessible raw materials in suitable forms.
Same happened to Croatia. From 2013. when we joined EU, Croatia lost at least 140000 people, which is about 3,3% of population, but unlike Bulgaria, I can say that Croatia is a really safe country.
Zerynth is a development suite. Notably, it makes use of a VM.
Viper is just one of the code emitters buried inside the MicroPython source code, like here [0]. Notably, it produces native code, not bytecode for a VM.
