EU passports are red (burgundy)

but I also have Autism,

I rest my case your honor.

Some of that is “clever” accounting, the rest is that healthcare insurances don’t have bargaining power with the providers. In Germany the state insurance companies have collective bargaining power so that for example an ambulance ride costs 500€ instead of 15000.

and he can’t be elected again (barring him fucking our systems so severely that he manages to force a third term on us).

That’s easy, create a national crisis (massive inflation + riots) and have SCOTUS suspend the 22nd amendment

In Germany that exists as well, we get “holiday money” some time in late spring/early summer and “Christmas money” which we get in November. Both of them add up to a full month’s salary together, so it’s essentially 13 salaries/year

8.1 was actually a massive improvement though, I doubt they’re even capable of pulling that off for 11, much less willing. 11 is flawed deeply to the core, 8 was “only” flawed on the surface (UI etc.)

On a military style folding bed, without a blanket and a gas mask on.

(I was renovating my current apartment, it was 4 o’clock in the morning and there were too many particles in the air to breathe without a filter.)

I’m sorry, you’re out of graphics.

As I said, specific “applications” :D

Some applications need very specific drivers and protocols that aren’t compatible with normal chips. Or you have to connect to a device via WiFi but still need internet. Also long range WiFi antennas are amazing.

Yeah, I totally get that there is a need for cheap power only cables, but why are there what feels like 30 different data “standards”. Just gimme power-only, data, and fast-data. And yeah, in 2 years there’ll be a faster data protocol, so what, that’s then fast-data24, fast-data26, etc. and manufacturers have to use a specific pictogram to label them according to the highest standard they fulfill.

I fully agree, some people just need the extra clarification though

At the store I’m at it’s handled pretty nice, we won’t stop anyone under a very low amount (single digit €) and above that it’s very dependent on your behaviour + how much you tried to steal, so you might just have to pay a 50€ fine without police involvement.

And only if the corporation is big enough. Don’t steal from your local corner store.

And also, don’t steal for profit.

I work at a hardware store, and if you steal some small shit like a file/screwdriver/whatever, you’re good. If I see you stealing 5k in light fixtures, tools, and batteries, I’ll get my bonus thank you very much.

Did a stint in tech support, and had a fucking lawyer call me because his brand new laptop wouldn’t turn on. The charging cable was sealed in the original plastic bag.
It seems some people are just completely unable to form reasonable thought-chains when it comes to technology.

Nazi ideology is never an opinion. It’s a threat to human rights and democracy.

What. You do realize that China has made multiple extortionist contacts with African nations in exchange for infrastructure, while they get mining rights and no supervision to continue their slavery? Depending on the source they have like twice as much mining capacity compared to all Western nations combined.

I switched my petrol insert out for a single burner gas one, but there are a lot of inserts, even from zippo itself.
