Prizes are income, otherwise companiea would hold a raffle each month to determine your salary.

Honestly, it does sound a bit like a hardware defect somewhere. Usually everything should work OOTB unless you are doing something really specific.

If you haven’t already done so, try updating the BIOS.

You mentioned the RAM being fine - have you run Memtest86+ for several hours? One pass is usually not enough to rule out memory malfunctions.

If you have a spare drive, try installing Linux Mint on it. If it still crashes, you can rule out Windows (and if it doesn’t, you could install a clean Windows on that same drive and try again).

You could also purchase a cheap AM4 motherboard (they start at like 60 bucks) to check if the issues still occur and refund it within the return window.

I’d argue there exist extremely viscous liquids which would be considered wet when in contact with water.

It seems arbitrary to exclude liquids from being wet.

I mean German fairy tales try to maximize Schadenfreude. Bad things happen to bad people - which is fun. Sure, the “bad things” are horrific but children don’t mind that usually.

I definitely remember reading a bunch of gruesome children stories as a child (and they were great)! Struwwelpeter and Max und Moritz are two funny children books with a couple of deaths.

You’re Indian tech software from the 80’s setting the kernel mailing list on fire?

There is no stable base for renewables.

At noon in summer, renewables can produce >100% of energy consumption. The nuclear reactors would need to be shut off and turned back on a couple hours later, for the months from June to September.

But nuclear cannot reactivate quick enough as solar production is winding down in the evening, nor can it shut down quick enough in the morning.

It’s much, much cheaper to massively increase battery storage in order to store excess energy produced by renewables.

In winter as of right now, there is not enough energy from renewables but this is hopefully subject to change over the next decade or so. If energy costs are high enough at night, companies will start building private battery storage to fill them during winter days. That way a large part of energy consumption can adapt to production.

In case of energy droughts, gas power plants can be kept because they can turn on and shut down within minutes, making them the best at providing a varying base load.

Eine Kette reicht ja auch aus, die kann man auch selber zusammenbauen. Allerdings wird die Ikea-Kette vermutlich aus Spanholzplatten sein.

wenn er die fehlende Fähigkeit des Jugendlichen zur sexuellen Selbstbestimmung ausnutzt

This paragraph is the important one. A court must first rule the teenager was not mature enough to bang an adult. Courts have ruled sexual inexperience alone is not sufficient to convict someone. The inability of a 14 year old to consent must be proven in order to convict an adult for banging a 14 year old.

Quellenschutz bezieht sich auch auf Informationen, mit denen man Rückschlüsse auf Informanten ziehen kann.

Wenn z.B. private Gruppenchats im Gutachten (ich habs mir noch nicht angeschaut) drin sind, weiß die AfD, dass mind. ein Gruppenmitglied Kontakt mit dem Verfassungsschutz hat.

Nope, not in Germany. A 110 year old can legally bang a 14 year old, as long as they don’t have a position of authority over the teen.

365.25 days * 18 hours, 15 minutes and 14 seconds * $15 = $100,000

Since the average human can stay alive for extended periods with 5 hours of sleep per night, there is nearly 45 minutes of free time per day included where the employees can take toilet breaks and eat! What a great job actually.

According to §18 Medienstaatsvertrag only private websites are exempt from Impressumspflicht. A full name and address are required.

Honestly? They’re fully right.

Russia has benefitted massively from the sanctions which only harmed the countries putting them on Russia.

That’s why the sanctions should of course be kept indefinitely.

Mieten sind i.d.R. nicht so kurzfristig, weshalb die bevorzugte Bezeichnung “Geschlechtsteildienstleistungsfachpersonalabstämmling” ist. Ebenso versichert “Abstämmling” im Gegensatz zu “Nachkomme” die leibliche Verwandtschaft.

Maybe? Never did I argue about the morality of these laws. They exist and must be abided to avoid negative consequences.

Ensuring the existence of the instance has higher priority than free speech about Israel. As such I don’t see any issue on the admin’s side for removing potentially illegal comments.

Discussion about Israel’s genocide is still possible under German law. Just don’t mention nazis or the Holocaust and you are probably fine.

Notice the

for example

The commenter didn’t say anything about pigs obviously. I was providing an example where antizionism would be considered antisemitism by German courts.

You can make this statement, only the last sentence in the comment in question is at the very best in a legal gray area.

It is perfectly legal to be opposed to zionism, even in Germany. You may need to adjust your wording, since anti-zionism can and has been considered antisemitic if antisemetic rhetoric is repeated. The statement “All zionists are pigs” would be illegal for example since the Judensau is an antisemitic symbol.

And the servers are hosted where the administrators live (note: they are hosted in Austria, their laws are nearly identical to Germany though). It wouldn’t make much of a difference - German (& Austrian) admins can be prosecuted for any content accessible in Germany (or Austria), regardless of where the content hosted. Besides, it would only take a single court order to identify the admins, see Impressumspflicht.

You’re right, though I don’t know whether a court will see it the same. It could maybe be argued there is an implicit connection in the comment.

Also, Austria has similar enough laws. In mid 2024 someone was sentenced to 7 months on probation for equating zionists with nazis:

https://salzburg.orf.at/stories/3267915/

I suspect the last sentence violates German law. Equating Israel with Nazi Germany is illegal under German law as it is considered to downplay the Holocaust because the latter has killed several magnitudes more people than Israel. From a quick search, this has been confirmed at least once by a higher regional court where a cartoonist was fined one monthly income.

Advocating for a secular one-state solution has thus far never been considered illegal by any court. The IHRA definition is not German law and will likely never be.

Since the instance is hosted in Germany, comments must abide by German law even if you disagree with said law. The instance admins are personally liable if they do not remove potentially illegal comments so I don’t see why there is an issue.

You can create another Europe community on an instance which isn’t hosted in Germany where such comments are legal.
