Kann er machen, aber bitte nicht öffentlich. Dass er bis ins Mark verdorben ist, kann man eh schon am Parteibuch ablesen.

You’re right, they wouldn’t. But maybe they can be convinced with burning pitchforks.

To me, minivans are probably the most sensible vehicles out there. Does it comfortably seat 5 to 8 people? Yes. Does it offer lots of space for anything you need to haul from A to B? Yes. Does it have a footprint and gas consumption similar to a regular sedan? Yes.

I run my printer through a Shelly. That way, I can observe prints remotely (webcam) and kill the power, should software shutdown fail. My Shelly is also set up so that the machine cannot exceed what the PSU is rated at. That would probably not be a good enough measure for a runaway (and melting) hot end once that has started a fire, but I feel pretty calm about the thing printing while I’m at work. I check the camera every half hour or so for print issues or worse.

The thing is: Should all runaway countermeasures on the software side fail, I’d have to be able to see the molten aluminium dripping onto the bed before it’s too late. I figure it’s a risk you have to take if you use a machine that will heat to up to 300° C to melt shit for hours on end.

Steel Panther, before they jumped the shark.

The PC port unfortunately has horrendous audio quality and has some framerate issues because they coded it specifically for the X360 and PS3. Wish I still had my 360 and that game. The cutscenes were incredible, especially when my character was a fat Asian lady with sideburns, voiced by a British man.

I recently watched a great documentary about the Yakuza (on Arte) and apparently that ritual is increasingly considered old-fashioned among the Yakuza, or what’s left of them.

It is true that vaccines can have rare adverse effects. That’s why we have clinical trials and experts evaluate if the benefits massively outweigh the risks. Vaccines are never really 100% safe, but always pretty damn close.

That sorta money doesn’t even buy you a great GPU these days. Maybe a decent one. And then you only need a little more money for a CPU, RAM, Mainboard, storage and a power supply. And if you’re feeling fancy, maybe a case as well.

A dishwasher is a luxury for sure, but it’s also more economical when it comes to water and electricity than your sink is. Plus it saves quite a bit of time.

Love that guy

It works just the same in Germany. People usually show up with their voter notification letter that has their name, address, date of birth and voter number on it. Unless 20 year old Janine shows up with the letter sent to 87 year old Hans, it is assumed that everything is in order. Her name will be crossed off the list and the letter of notification will be withheld, because it helps the volunteers with counting later on (think “We have 875 vote slips in the ballot box; do we also have the corresponding 875 voter notification letters that people left?”).

That said, people can also show up without the letter and present their ID card (Personalausweis) or passport. That isn’t strictly required, however. Both voter notification and official ID are fine on their own.

Edit: What is true, however, is that you cannot choose where to vote. There is only one voting location that has you on their list of eligibility.

“The LARD is good” is actually a decent pun.

While that explanation of yours is helpful and comprehensible, the whole thing seems stupid to me. But then again, my 1999 Golf has none of those features and I wouldn’t want them either.

I enjoy playing Watch Dogs 2 again and again mainly because it’s set in SF and the Bay Area. I just love the vibe it gives me.

What exactly are you doing there, Maddie?

What about a VM in Windows?

You ever heard of Latin?

He did, aged 76. Cancer.

Ted Striker!
