Als DM einen Monat lang 20 % Rabatt auf alles gewährte, habe ich nachgegeben. Ich habe die App installiert und ein Profil mit einer Wegwerf-E-Mail-Adresse erstellt. Ich habe meinen Keller mit DM-Produkten gefüllt und anschließend die App wieder gelöscht…

I work 30h a week and Merz can fuck off. I would be getting a similar amount of work done, not more, but have a lot less free time to do what I really want and is probably just as productive in many ways, but not in their too limited economic indicators. Sports, cleaning the house, meeting people, growing tomatoes, sleeping enough etc etc

Still no guarantee of the blissful instant kill unfortunately. The ones aimed at your big city may be the ones that fail? Or you big city may be part of a country that somehow doesn’t get directly involved after all?

The annoying part is having to carry the helmet around with you when bike is parked.

That’s why I wrote might

By the time it actually happens there might be a democrat in charge again who can get all the blame…

It also only worked because Norway didn’t get invaded because of this approach. Plenty of countries tried to keep valuable natural in national hands, they get sanctioned to oblivion and then the CIA conducts a coup.

Lol Volkswagen, the company that actively rigged diesel cars to pass the tests… ? Dieselgate. The German car manufacturers are hopelessly late at EV because they wanted to drain every last penny out of their ICE. The EU setback to extend ICE is after German car manufacturers lobbied… They are killing themselves in the long run, for bit more production in the short run. They saw this all coming decades ago and made wrong choices. Now they’re fucked. The Volkswagen id (EV) sales numbers are so disappointing they had to lower production and make employees stay home.

Yes, I know WhatsApp is biggest overall. But for Threema to say that the competition is WhatsApp and that’s it… Is a wrong market analysis imo. In the “privacy conscious” segment signal is the biggest. Threema’s biggest competitor in Germany is Signal, not WhatsApp.

Then it is still not true. Signal has over 11 million users in Germany, Threema has 8-10 million users.

The US already can expand its presence in Greenland legally. It is about annexation and no one is concealing anything, there is no subtlety. Announced to take Greenland right after having illegally kidnapping the president of Venezuela: this was and still is a direct threat from USA to Europe that they are willing to use force against NATO allies and nothing else.

Optimism bias. People failed to acknowledge a pandemic was happening until and even while it was happening in their own neighborhood and city…

When the tanks roll in they’ll still deny there’s an issue.

You could just not use the USB, Bluetooth, pitch control…? They are features that are just there and do nothing when not turned on or not used so I don’t see the issue?

I just have a very cheap AKAI ATT01U I bought about 14 years ago I think when I was still pretty poor. Works really really well tbh, replacing the needle costs almost as much as the turntable was. If records are in near mint condition the sound quality between a 10.000 € hifi and a 150 € setup is not very noticeable imo. Or to my ears. It becomes more noticeable if you play music very loud or music with a lot of very deep bass (think dubstep, hyperdub), both I usually don’t do. My cheap-o-turntable has the USB out but I don’t use it, doesn’t matter. The only 2 reasons I would buy a fancier turntable would be 1 the tonearm balance fine-tuning which this cheap player doesn’t have and 2 something that looks beautiful which this thing doesn’t at all… One day maybe I’ll treat myself to a nice expensive turntable, but it will possibly only be after this one died :')

Edit: fwiw: I think the LPW-40 looks a lot more beautiful than the TN-3B-SE

The only certainty is that after Venezuela with 0 repercussions they now got the taste for it.

Think I read Germany is sending 13 soldiers.

Probably, if you install linux

Maybe the best solution is to build a Truman show like simulated world and contain the Trump problem in there.

Deflation is bad. Then people stop spending, postpone all purchases, economy grinds to a halt, people lose jobs and companies go bankrupt.

Hyperinflation is bad. Then people spend money like toilet paper: money becomes worthless. No one has anything left to invest or to save for pension or a big plan or dream.

The general goal of aiming for about 2% inflation is basically just there to try to prevent those two worst case scenarios from happening. It’s the least bad of all evils: money sort of keeps it’s value, evolution of product prices are rather predictable, people know what they will be able to buy with their wages. Inflation is not inherently tied to capitalism only. Socialist/communist economic experiments experience very similar phenomena.

But I enjoy fucking around with Linux
