The town I live in burned down almost completely in 1787, so most historic buildings in the city were built after that. The city wall is probably the oldest structure, but it’s unknown when it was originally built. The oldest building with a known year of construction is most likely the church that was built in 1246.
Yes, fully agree. They make absolutely no sense at all.
Considering that predicting the next word from context is the one thing LLMs are really good at, I just don’t understand how none of these developments have found their way into predictive keyboards.
I’ve actually switched to ThumbKey and while I don’t think I’m faster with it (yet), it’s at least so much less frustrating and that’s worth a lot to me.
Not necessarily. If you have a lot of experience or a different perspective and you seem trustworthy to me, you don’t need to have a good argument. On the other hand, if someone else comes along with a good argument why your opinion is wrong, I will start doubting you.
For example, if you’ve been growing potatoes for 30 years, you don’t have to explain the biochemistry of potatoes for me to respect your advice. And if you’re a black person telling me that our town is terribly racist, I will believe you without needing a list of every single racist incident that happened to you.
If it really happens that often, maybe get it checked out. Speech therapists also deal with swallowing disorders, which can be a sign of (potentially treatable) neurological conditions.
I think both torx and pozidriv have their place. Torx for any screw that needs a lot of torque, is in a hard to reach place or for really small screws.
When I have lot of screws in a simple application, like driving them directly into wood, I prefer pozidriv though. Due to the conical profile, the bit just automatically slides in correctly. Also, torx just has way too many different sizes.
Fuck Philips. Pozidriv is so much better.
People don’t dislike neoliberalism, they dislike the effects it has on society. But they fail to connect the dots.
I think one of the main problems is that there’s no “home” for people leaning left. The SPD has long dropped the “S” from it’s name, it’s just another conservative party representing those who are already well-off, without any ideas or plans to improve life for those who are exploited in our current system. Die Linke is completely detached from reality and too busy with fighting between themselves to address the giant issues that they should have the answers for. Greens are a climate/environment party first and they’re too elitist to pick up any of the angry people who (rightfully) feel like they’ve been cheated by the system.
So when you have a well organized, populist party on the far-right that provides (wrong) answers for those people, it’s no wonder they flock to them. Of course, you’ll always have those who are actual fascists and will always vote for a fascist party, but a strong left could easily draw a lot of the other voters away from the AfD.
I agree, Scholz is an idiot but Merz fucking terrifies me. Every time I see him on TV, it sends shivers down my spine. I don’t get how other people don’t feel the same way, it’s like Lord Voldemort sitting in a talkshow and everyone just going along with it…
Noch lieber würde ich bei der Maklerprovision das Bestellerprinzip umgesetzt sehen. Die Grunderwerbssteuer geht zumindest theoretisch an die Allgemeinheit und dient irgendwie noch einem guten Zweck.
Aber einem Makler, der mir als Käufer überhaupt keine Arbeit abnimmt sondern stattdessen versucht, den Preis möglichst in die Höhe zu treiben, zusätzlich noch zehntausende Euro in den Rachen zu werfen, widerstrebt mir echt extrem.
Wenn ich einen Makler engagiere, der für mich eine Wohnung oder ein Haus sucht, dann muss ich den voll bezahlen. Was ja auch Sinn macht, schließlich will ich ja eine Dienstleistung haben.
Wenn aber der Verkäufer einen Makler engagiert, der für ihn einen passenden Käufer findet, dann soll ich die Hälfte bezahlen, auch wenn ich nichts und wieder nichts davon habe. Die Logik erschließt sich mir überhaupt nicht.
Und die Höhe der Provision ergibt für mich auch überhaupt keinen Sinn. Das ist je nach Immobilie für viele Deutsche ein Jahresgehalt, das da an den Makler geht. Und das ohne dass er für seinen Job eine einzigartige Qualifikation braucht oder er mit extremen Strapazen oder Risiken behaftet ist.
I didn’t fully quit reddit, but I’m going to Lemmy first and foremost and rarely go back to reddit for very specific communities. My reddit usage dropped by 90+% probably, but I’m not completely gone.
I’m sure the same is true for many other users as well, so simply counting the number of (active) users then and now won’t get even close to the actual loss in traffic and participation.
Because if the electricity produced on these vessels was ten times the normal price, it would still be peanuts in the grand scheme of things.
