Croatia has both Mediterranean and continental climate so you can grow basically anything, depending on which specific location you'd pick. I once even saw a news segment about a successful business growing tropical fruit in a glass house.

Yeah I mean you could probably start a vineyard or an orchard, but both of these are long-term projects requiring specific skills and expertise.

That's a tough question, but the short answer would be War. Not only for direct destruction and loss of life but for creating a corrupt and incompetent political system that lives off nationalism. Decades after the war we still feel indirect consequences.

Hey, I bet everyone remembers the hapless printer goon story which ended badly for the guy. I'm, uh, in sort of a diametrally opposite situation. I repaired Vesna's computer the other day and she's now aggressivelly hitting on me. Hell, she's all over me, phoned me ten times today just to share some of her schizophrenic ramblings with me (much to my chagrin). I immediately made it clear that I will NOT bone her in any way, and that seems to have triggered something in her which, to put it in her words, made her feel "safe", because she's one of those people who are afraid of everyone and everything. She wants to be my older sister and I don't know what to say about it. For fucks sake, she phoned me today just to tell me that she got her period. Goddammit, Vesna. :ughh:

There are entire ghost villages in Slavonia, with zero inhabitants. I've heard that some mayors will give you a 2000€ prize just if you come to live there - the only catch is that you have to sign a waiver that you'll live there for at least 10 years or more. But if you want to try your luck in farming, Slavonia is the place for you.

I can vouch for Bulgarian Rakija (plum booze) and I'm sure croatian is great too. In bulgaria at least it seems like every grandpa has his own batch that he wants you to try. I didn't know any grandpas in croatia when I went so I didn't get to try any. but I was in the cosmoppolitan areas anyway and it seems like more of a countryside thing

A massive construction project (a bridge to Peljesac peninsula) is starting in Dalmatia and a Chinese company won it so interpreters for Chinese are in demand. You could start there and later move to Slavonia and teach English and Chinese. You'd make local news right away.

I don't think he's ever actually been locked up before, has he? I mean, to get forcibly committed he must have done something pretty serious - it's easy to downplay his addiction here because he generally posts pretty coherently and intelligently, but cramming that many pills into his body every single day was only ever gonna go one way. I just hope he takes this situation for the opportunity it could be for him.

Not expecting ASF to reply since he's indisposed at the moment, but can someone else tell me what he means by "makes forward hoops"?

Stay safe and be well, ASF. I've done the detox/rehab thing myself, and it sucks while you're doing it, but coming out the other side feeling like a million bucks (and saving quite a few bucks when you don't need a fix every day) is totally worth it.
