E-Autos wohl nicht für Feuer verantwortlich
Reply in thread
Ich lebe schon seit vielen Jahren nicht mehr in Deutschland und natürlich habe ich sehr viel Kontakt mit Leuten aus unterschiedlichen Ländern. Wenn man mit Leuten über E-Autos spricht sind es fast immer nur Deutsche die plötzlich gegen Argumente liefern (Produktion kostet mehr CO2, Strom ist aber auch nicht Grün, die seltenen Erden! Usw). Hat bestimmt nichts damit zu tun, dass Deutschlands größte und wichtigste Industry die Herstellung von konventionellen Autos ist.

I completely agree with you and am happy that my employer peddled back when the decided we should all come back to the office. Going to the office has many more negatives than benefits for everyone. I sadly learned that a lot of local city councils give incentives and tax breaks for companies to bring back the people so they can stimulate the local economy by eating the unhealthy shit that we can usually find around offices and be stuck in traffic for an hour.

What court? Nothing ever happens, he has been pulling these stunts for so many years now. Consequences are almost nil

In Spanien werden bei Zugverspätungen von 15 Minuten 50% des Fahrpreises erstattet - und bei Verspätungen von mehr als 30 Minuten der gesamte Fahrpreis?! Stimmt das?

Aber nur für den „ICE“ (Ave)

do you guys shop on places like aliexpress/Temu and if you do what items have pleasantly surprised you?
I sometimes use AliExpress for DIY electronics like microcontrollers and other components. An Esp32 usually costs around 8-12 euros in Europe. On AliExpress I buy them for 3 (plus shipping). Its worth it if you are buying more than just a few. Shipping is usually slow but if its not urgent its cheap and so far of good/ decent quality.
I did also buy a small industrial camera on there which did not work. I contacted the seller and after some troubleshooting they agreed to ship a new camera to me (still waiting on that one) but in principle I am satisfied with the service for the price I payed.

In the morning and while I am at work I don’t really care for the conditions outside. By 8 its daylight here no matter the summer or wintertime. But what I care for is going outside in the evening, doing sports in the forest, go cycling and enjoy nature. Its hard doing that when it is dark when I finish working. Other geographic regions might prefer winter time, I personally prefer sommertime

Russian geneticist gets probation for DNA smuggling. Discovery of vials prompted alarm at airport
This sentencing is so non-sense because it rather shows how the legislation for scientific samples is often not really there or sensible.
During my PhD I was working on rather obscure marine invertebrate animals called Bryozoan. To any normal person they look like some algea or plant matter. I had to collect live specimens and transport them from one European country to another by airplane. If I would follow proper procedure I would need a vet check the health status of the animals at departure and arrival. No vet ever has looked at a bryozoan much less has any clue on how to access their health. So the conclusion was to simply throw them in a cooler and hand this in as the luggage. When asked whats in the cooler I just said „mostly water“.
Almost everyone in the academic community would frequently transport DNA, RNA, Antibodies, Animals and other unique samples by just placing it in the luggage. There is hardly any real alternative in an industry that is strapped for money (basic research is almost always poor)

Natürlich hat der Ottonormal Deutsche diese Argumente aus den Medien. Welcher normale Mensch analysiert die CO2 Bilanz der Herstellung? Warum sind es immer Deutsche die mit solchen Argumenten kommen? Für mich ist es sehr klar, dass die sehr viel kritischere Haltung der Deutschen aus den Medien stammt. Ob es Lobbyarbeit oder weil Onkel Thomas bei VW arbeitet sei mal dahingestellt. Es arbeiten verdammt viele Leute direkt oder indirekt für die Autoindustrie.

Which super popular game were you utterly disappointed by?
For me this is Lost ruins of Arnak. The game is a sort of deckbuilder but it never feels like it. It also left us with the impression that you need to min/max from turn 1 and there is only a limited way to victory. Its on our list of games to resell. Do not understand the appeal

Investitionen sind niedlich, wenn viele Anderen schon fleißig produzieren. Die deutsche Autoindustrie hat das einfach verpennt und den komischen Fokus auf die Brennstoffzelle seit Jahrzehnten. Und wieviele Autos fahren damit?

In den 60er/70er gab es eine extreme landflucht und die Leute sind entweder nach Madrid oder Barcelona gewandert. Zwischen Madrid und Barcelona gibt es im Grunde nur zwei größe Städte, lleida und Zaragosa. Es gibt AVEs die auch dort halten auf dem Weg nach Madrid/Barcelona. Aber der Zug schlägt das Auto so oder so. Mit dem Auto sind es 7h, mit AVE 2.5h. Ich nutz den Zug häufig wenn ich etwas in Madrid machen muss
