The next time you are asked how high Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia, is, the correct answer will no longer be 2864 meters, as we were taught in school, but 2863 m!

But what is little for Triglav, in the case of floods, 34 centimeters can be a decisive difference.

Civilization has set rules, norms, guidelines by which we must behave and live in order to be 'normal'.

Then we are expected to go our own way, to stand on our own two feet. But the demands of society do not end there. Let's see when we are expected to have children, when our own car...
