It should be the opposite: The design of the delta class submarines is older than Star Wars and it would make sense that George Lucas took some design inspiration from soviet russia. He did take a lot of inspiration from Nazi Germany and it would make sense that he also did take a look at the USSR as America’s cold war enemy.

X seems to have stopped fighting against bots. So there are less people, more bots and those bots won’t be banned as quickly as before.

This should be human usage - the user survey was done by phone.

That’s actually quite an insane chart. So the average american eats around 125kg of meat a year? France is at 83kg, Italy at 81kg and Canada at 82kg.

Current german recommendations for healthy eating are saying that around 300 grams of meat a week are the max and Americans really seem to eat that every day.

I’m not working in the meat industry, but in the german food industry. German meat consumption has gone significantly down, but the most “feelable” effect would be that vegan and/or vegetarian options are now a must for every restaurant owner who knows what he is doing. A few years ago it was normal for restaurants to have no vegan option on the menu or for them to be kind of crappy. Now there are so many vegetarians that you will run into problems with your restaurant if your vegetarian option is crappy - because those vegetarians will complain to their family and friends and lead them into other restaurants.

(and yeah, there are still restaurants left without good options for vegetarians. Your region also might play a role - but chances are that you can find a pizza without meat on the menu that is not a Margherita)

Yeah, and don’t pretend that comparable software like Google Drive, Sharepoint or Dropbox is faster.

Most people are not really using the OS. All they do is starting the webbrowser and that’s it. They need input & sound from the OS, but that’s it.

We’ve all seen the news about spez salary, to yeah, fuck him and check if others are also getting such salaries.

Yes, cereal is bad. Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, it’s unhealthy. But what many people here are forgetting: There is a whole industry advertising cereal as a healthy breakfast (and now apparently dinner). You go into a supermarket and it is full of colourful boxes telling you what an awesome meal cereal is. Potatoes don’t have that. There is no TV ad for potatoes. And yes, cereal tastes great, because of the sugar.

The idea is even older: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar

In a better world roads would be closed for cars which exceed the capacity of those guard rails. Just put up a sign, do some enforcement and people will start buying smaller cars when they can’t use them.

There are still local governments or police forces announcing important things via Twitter. There are still interesting and smart people posting there. There are all those “legacy” accounts which are not active anymore, but have valuable content. Nitter was the last way to read this and this is now lost.

Does anyone know what this is? Elaborate trolling? Mental illness? Are there really people out there who don’t know what a sunset is?

Dear Bill,

the german government has a banking account where you can send them money, no questions asked. Feel free to send over your fair share of taxes you are avoiding by routing the Microsoft profits from Germany via Luxembourg and other tax havens.
