As a German: I think it really is not our job to criticise Israel/the jewish people. There are about 200 other countries that are capable of voicing their opinions. I seriously doubt Hamas left Israel much of a choice, though. They are still keeping and mistreating hostages. What is Israel supposed to do? Passively standing by and watching their hostages being impregnated?

I always ridiculed her, although secretly I admired her determination and also agreed with her aims.

Then she started her pro-Gaza ramblings. She clearly has no idea about history of the middle east and also can’t classifiy current events. To noone’s surprise as she has hardly visited school. She’s also 20 now, so a full adult, she does not have this young-innocent-girl Jeanne d’Arc bonus anymore.

Why should Rogan and Musk be concerned about a law in Scotland? I can’t be botheres to look up if Rowling lives in Scotland, but she’s at least on the same island.At the minimum Rogan and Musk should mind their own business. As a German I also don’t judge US gub laws, for example. None of my business.

I do have 2 monitors. But I have an opaque side panel. Case closed. Pun intended.

I have the cheapest Philips shaver. It is pretty mid. It came with its own charger. On the shaver’s side it looks like a standard ungrounded 220V female connection. But it actually is some propriety DC thingy. Very annoying. Why not just use USB-C?

A woman invented the windshield wiper. Granted, a man inventes the whole effing rest of the car…

Are they one-stop in the US, though?

In Germany you usually have a little shopping center with Aldi and/or Lidl, a DM and an Edeka. Once you have finished shopping at Aldi and DM you can pop into Edeka and get the 1 or 2 items you didn’t get at Aldi and DM.

Many people in Germany are doing it like that. Edeka seems to florish from the people who prefer branded products and/or can’t get into 2 shops because they don’t go grocery shopping by car and can’t really visit more than 1 shop, because you can’t enter a 2nd one with a bag full of goods from the 1st one.

Oh, I go there too, occasionally. Especially for returning “Pfand” and buying wine, I really enjoy “Albali Reserva” (not Gran Reserva). It’s a more than decent Tinto for only 3.59€/bottle.

But somehow I never really grew fond of Kaufland. Somehow it’s always sort of filthy in there, shopping carts are often not to be found at the entrance, not enough registers are open, “chavs” are loitering at the entrance… I don’t know, I am always stressed out at Kaufland. Aldi, Lidl and Edeka feel more “cozy” to me, I guess.

I used to unlock the bootloaders for a couple of years on all my phones, 10 years ago or so. I installed cyanogenmod and used it the way it was supposed to: rooted. But then Google Pay came along as well as banking apps that actually did their jobs better then the banks’ web sites. You couldn’t use either of that reliably with a rooted phone. So now I am back to stock android and I am actually quite happy with it. I like the google services, including Google Pay. Also, stock android improved a lot since the early 10s.

For integers it really doesn’t exist. An algorithm for multiplying an integer with -1 is: Invert all bits and add 1 to the right-most bit. You can do that for 0 of course, it won’t hurt.

computerscientistI ,

Why is this legal? What kind of shithole country allows this?

computerscientistI ,

The royal family, including Charles are big proponents of homeopathy. Let’s see how much homeopathy is going to help him now. I’m sure at least as much as those alternative methods Steve Jobs chose helped him, back then…

The water/solvent isn’t even contaminated. It is deluted so thoroughly, you can’t even find a single molecule of whatever ingredient is supposed to show any effect.

Also, Tesla’s button replacements actually do work more or less reliably. The other manufacturers decided to save money by adding a potato instead of a potent CPU that powers the screen in the middle of the console.

I had no idea about what ketamine actually is, It seemms most likely to me that it was administered via IV by a MD, no? Wasn’t this manslaughter by the doctor, then?

If the founders didn’t just want to stir the pot, they would call the club “free-will humanitarian anti-authority club”.

After a bit of prodding ChatGPT suggests: “Free Spirits for Global Empowerment and Liberty” (FSGEL), which is a million time better then invoking satan, just to get on people’s nervs.

computerscientistI ,

Sorry, I don’t understand your post. Who are you arguing for? Who are “the folks who are opposed”? Those opposed to the ASS-Club?

computerscientistI ,

Maybe. But it does so in ALL OF THE GAMES!!!

computerscientistI ,

It’s dead Jim.

computerscientistI ,

I am against prostitution being illegal. I am also against slut shaming. And I am even more against ruining someones future opportunities of ANY kind for having been in the sex work business. But befor you let anyone teach: Make sure they are a teacher. If you want to teach biology (which sex ed is a part of) to children, you better have a degree in biology and teaching, ffs.

computerscientistI ,

I AM a teacher. I teach English as a foreign language and Computer Science (just CS right now). I have a gross income of slightly more than 60k a year (59k €). That’s about 3.850€ net a month after health insurance and taxes. I also have a not too shabby pension guaranteed as long as I don’t quit the job. That’s included in “my package”. Also I am tenured. I can only be fired for gross neglect or having an affair with a (minor) student, bribery or things of that nature.

The “catch” (some say advantage): That’s in Germany, not in Retardistan.

computerscientistI ,

It does. But it shouldn’t. There’s absolutely no reason.

computerscientistI ,

I have no plans idea what you are attempting to say. “A few Millenium” is supposed to mean what, apart from being grammatically questionable?

computerscientistI ,

I have heard this for years now. This all fine. I also have an E-Bike. I really love using it. But I live in central Europe. Weather is really shitty here from October-March. I use my car then. And no, clothing for biking in bad weather is not an option for me. I really can’t be bothered to change clothes on my job. I just won’t do that.

computerscientistI ,

You’re just fucking lazy.

Absolutely. Is there any context in which you can “I can’t be bothered with…” interpret as anything else as lazy? But so what? I will not ride my bike in shitty weather. And most people will do the same thing.

computerscientistI ,

So… I go to work by e-bike 8 out of 12 months. Whenever I take my car, I take my BEV (MG4) that I charge with electricity from renewable sources.

And you? What do you actually do for the environment?

computerscientistI ,

Let’s stay on topic: Environment. Human rights is a whole nother can of worms. What do you think the supply chain of whatever device you are using for lemmee right now looks like?

Back to environment: What are you doing for the environment except for judging others: I drive a car that has a very low carbon footprint regarding its whole lifespan. Also I ride to work on an E-Bike 8 out of 12 months. What are you doing?

computerscientistI ,

I don’t drive a car that needs detonating dino-dhiarrea anymore. And BEVs only habe one gear. So there’s that.

computerscientistI ,

Nope. I pay a bit extra for electricity from renewables. You could argue that the stuff that comes out of the socket still is the energy-mix that is produced at the time, but my invoice says something along the lines of “x kWh of electricity generated from renewable sources” and x kWh of electricity from renewable sources will have been fed into the grid over the time frame covered by my invoice. Good enough for me.

computerscientistI ,

Not really. Do you need energy to produce those things? Yes. But how much dino-energy can be saved during the livetime of those products? Way more!

computerscientistI ,

Indian food most often is vegetarian but definitely not vegan, in my experience. Also: It often seems to be colorful mud. Some parts of the dishes tend to be way too hot.

Another country has called Xi a 'dictator' and China is not happy with that description (edition.cnn.com)

China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

Good old Ski Ski Spring.

I am still lurking at reddit from time to time. But my account got permanently suspended because mods over there are wankers. So… sort of.

computerscientistI ,

I never followed this case. So he raped 2 women? Or at least that’s what the sentence is for. A sentence as excessive as that does not seem wise to me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any sympathy for rapists. I do have sympathy for the victims.

But what does this sentence really send as a message to criminals? From a criminal’s point of view you can just as well kill all witnesses, especially the victims, if it won’t make the consequences of being caught any worse but reduced the chances of being caught. This is really, really unwise.

computerscientistI ,

Yes I tend to forget that there is still the death penalty in Retardistan. But still… 30 years, life, death… I can’t really tell what’s worst…

computerscientistI ,

I totally understand this sentiment. But there is a reason we have courts and don’t do it like the rag-heads in Saudi-Arabia.

computerscientistI ,

You shouldn’t. But you can. And we really shouldn’t make the worst alternative more attractive for those low-lives.

computerscientistI ,

There aren’t any BEVs with this kind of manual transmissions. They just have 1 gear and are operated like automatics. And I am definitely not going back to DDD fuels (detonating dino diarrhea).

computerscientistI ,

I called my car (MG) a product of our friends with almond-shaped eyes. Got my account suspended indefinitely. Why??? I avoided “Schlitzaugengezücht” as a description for my car and still…

computerscientistI ,

So… society does not accept post-natal abortions… yet.

computerscientistI ,

I try using Linux on my desktop PC from time to time. Whenever I buy a new rig, I try Linux, as I want to reinstall the system anyway. It never worked. I always tried with brand new hardware -> something is not properly supported -> install current windows. Rinse and repeat every 4 or 5 years whenever I get my hand on a new desktop or laptop. That never changed for the last 20 years.

computerscientistI ,

Nah. The OS is not important enough to me. I buy according to specs and price/performance-ratio. If Linux won’t easily run, I will just run windows on it. It’s only the OS after all.

computerscientistI ,

either give it 3 to 6 months after release of new hardware or be willing to learn how to make it work. expecting software to work with hardware it hasn’t yet been designed to work with is always going to be a recipe for failure.

No thanks. I can’t be bothered with that. I’ll just run windows.
