Unfortunately, any extremist government will work very hard to keep conflict, war and crisis going in order to distract from the fact that they’re the ones who are turning everything to shit.

Oh that is such a cool idea! Wouldn’t even need the whole windscreen to be polarized, polarized glasses for the driver should also work.

I find it hard to believe but according to a fan of hers I once talked to, they would vote for a rabid raccoon if she endorsed it.

Passiert aber auch andersrum, dass man von der 116117 direkt in die Notaufnahme geschickt wird, wenn keine Bereitschaftspraxis verfügbar ist.

Durch die hohen Immobilienpreise drängen aber viele auf den Mietmarkt, die sich Eigentum gerade so nicht mehr leisten können, gleichzeitig aber sehr hohe Mietpreise bezahlen können. Das macht dann auch für alle anderen die Mietpreise kaputt. Und es werden immer mehr “Premium-Mietwohnungen” für genau diese Leute gebaut, die sich viele andere dann nicht mehr leasten können.

I also thought it was too late to replace Biden and they should have done it at least six months earlier. But now I think the timing is pretty much perfect.

Republicans focused all their efforts on bashing Biden instead of getting people excited for their own policies. Now that whole campaign has just imploded on itself and there’s not enough time to come up with and enact something new. Plus, Harris and Walz have all the attention now, they dominate the news.

Ich verstehe echt immer nicht den positiven Spin in diesen Berichten, von wegen “Stabilisierung des Marktes”. Für 95% der Deutschen sind das sehr, sehr schlechte Nachrichten und das sollte meiner Meinung nach auch so dargestellt werden.

As a native German speaker, “Schwanz” is more like “dick”, pretty vulgar and crude. “Schniedel” was originally used around children and has a cute and somewhat humorous connotation. I think it’s the better fit here.

Although, at least in my field of work, it’s a bit frowned upon to actually get your vacation days back when you get sick.

Hat schon mal jemand ein FedEx-Paket bekommen? Ich auch nicht. Hätte aber eins bekommen sollen.

Lower your expectations. “This has to be the trip of our lives, we worked so hard, …” is a recipe for disaster. Things will be different from what you have planned. You will be disappointed by some things, others may just not work out at all. If you get hung up on that, you won’t be able to enjoy all those little moments that make a trip memorable.

If you have to leave the beautiful little Café early because that one big thing on your checklist is closing in an hour and tomorrow you have to leave early for the next stop, you won’t be left with any nice memories, only pictures of things that have already been photographed a million times.

My advice: already make plans for the next trip. Yes, you won’t be making it back overseas in a while, but there is just no correllation between how far you travel, how much you spend and how good of a time you have. I’ve traveled a LOT all over the world and some of my best memories were made in places I could reach by car. The biggest disappointment was a long, expensive overseas trip that was “maybe the last big holiday before we get kids”.

Take the pressure out, this is just a holiday of many more that will follow. Don’t plan too many things in advance, don’t make a list of “must sees”. Make sure that if you like a place, you can just stay a few more nights.

I was recently on a three week trip through Italy, from the alps in the north all the way to Sicily in the south. We stayed for a few more nights on a nice little camp in the middle of nowhere, with no major attractions nearby, just because we enjoyed lying in a hammock and reading a book. We skipped Rome instead.

Hab gar nicht mitbekommen, dass das 1 VI schon draußen ist, ich habe noch das 1 V.

Objektiv kann USB-C alles was Klinke kann (ja, auch analoges Audio-Signal) und noch viel mehr. Damit ist das eigentlich der bessere Stecker. Die Kopfhörerhersteller müssten nur den neuen (besseren) Standard akzeptieren.

Stimmt halt einfach mit dem Portemonnaie ab, Sony hat immer noch eine Klinkenbuchse, eine eigene Kamera-Taste, keine Notch und was sonst noch immer gefordert wird.

Wobei ich bei meinem die Klinkenbuchse noch nie benutzt habe, aber der Kamerabutton ist genial.

That’s a common phenomenon, it’s called AAAAA (age associated absence of acronym awareness).

It can be done in a way that does not affect privacy. If you lock your car while there’s still a person detected on the back seat, it will sound an alarm.

For me, the coolest thing about them is that they’re in the kingfisher family.

Eh, there are much worse drugs around. If doing shrooms makes people drink less alcohol, it’s a huge win both for them and for society in general.

Not just America, another Trump presidency is bad news for all of us. Yes, the USA is not the center of the world but they do have a lot of influence.
