If you lived in the UK, supported Tottenham and wanted to watch all their games in the 2021/22 season you had to:

Subscribe to Sky Sports (around £50-60 a month) for the Premier League games.

Subscribe to BT Sports (30 a month) for the Saturday early kick off Premier League games and the Europa Conference League games.

Subscribe to Amazon Prime for the 3 random weeks when they are showing the Premier League games instead of Sky.

Subscribe to Premier Sports (£12 a month) to see a Europa Conference League 2 legged qualifier.

And even then you couldn't see all the games legally in the UK because of the 3pm Saturday black out. You are forced to find a stream from another country where they are broadcasting the game.

Then when you are subscriped you get wall to wall gambling adverts during half time. For every other product you subscribe to, it is to avoid ads, but not television.

Schengen just means that there is no border control at the border of other Schengen countries. People from other EU countries can still enter and live in non Schengen countries, they just have to show a passport. That is not really control of your own border.

If 5 million people decide to move from Finland to Ireland in the next month there's nothing anyone in either country can do to stop them. One is schengen country one is not. Both are in the EU.

As an undergraduate I sit in classes being taught to use meaningful variables in code. Then I walk into one of the many math and physics lectures and wonder what meaningless single letter variables are we see scribbled on the whiteboard today.

This wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have a class with a different lecturer using different notation afterwards.

Should each lecturer introduce their notation the first time its used in class?

Why can't they just use use proper meaningful variable names?
