In Germany the current government had the idea (but never follow through on it) to allow a married couple to form a new last name based on their last names. Funnily enough the article mentions that this meshing of names is already possible and getting more popular in the USA and Great Britain.

I would actually be interested in the math of that. Also please keep in mind that killing school children is a very US American thing. Everyone else (for the most part) does not do it.

One of my former room mates had the same problem with the washing machine. They were two compartments and you put the main detergent in the smaller one. In practice it didn’t make much of a difference, but still.

I believe this is something to be aware of and if this is something you don’t want use GOG instead. But in reality as long as Steam exists you will be able to download and play your games. If Steam ceases to exists then you will not be able to download them, but there will be ways to still play them, if you previously downloaded them. It is not like “owning” movies on Amazon (or just recently on the Playstation Store), where you always need to stream the movies.

This is such a cool idea, but I might be too dumb to move the tiles in any intentful way…

This is true for every psychological condition and has only tangentially to do with grades. There needs to be a burden of suffering (German: “Leidensdruck”) in order for a psychological condition to be considered a “problem” that needs “fixing”. As long as the the person doesn’t have this and society doesn’t force anything on that person (because for example they broke the law), there is nothing to act upon. This is also why some famous and/or successful people are crazy. The FBI has done some investigations into the concept of a the corporate psychopath, which can be successful managers, which are undiagnosed psychopaths.

Keep calm and contact support. They are responsive, nice and will help you. I had a very similar thing, if not exactly the same. They gave me instructions, some of them I already read online, some of them not. It felt hopeless and it went back and forth multiple time until it suddenly worked again. They really know their stuff. In the end it was something with the base OS version.

Do you have a link?

Sadly no dance parties… But we also didn’t stay for the night shift 😅 Oh and fun fact: Steel mills must run 24h a day, 364 days a year (1st of May is off) for I think 20 years straight. That’s just crazy.

My department actually did a field trip to a steel mill the other day (during paid working hours). Steel mills are so fascinating and I can only recommended visiting one at least once. The sheer sizes of everything is just breathtaking and molten steel just looks glorious. I would say that these kind of events are not unusual in German workplaces.

It was last year… Probably the person at the counter of DB just didn’t care. Thanks for the info!

That‘s cool! I had the issue come up multiple times. Once booking a DB -> ÖBB night train through DB, which they didn’t “view” as one ticket although it was one purchase. Eventually (7 month after the trip) I got compensated for the DB ticket I had to buy, because I missed my night train. But there are also private night train providers like European Sleeper, where you can only book tickets through their website. I don’t think that DB cares about them.

They are still more expensive than planes and there are fewer connections available, often not everyday of the week or only during certain times of year. But my biggest issue is that train companies don’t work together internationally so that there are no “official” connecting trains. You basically need to book them separately and if one is late you are screwed…

Don’t get me wrong, I like night trains and I use them, but there is still a long way to go to make them competitive against planes.

I would definitely recommend to try it out right now. I‘ve never encountered any bugs and it is very polished overall. I think the only things that are unfinished are some story campaign scenarios, but there are enough in different difficulties to keep you busy for quite some time.

PS: It works great on Steam Deck!

Everyone who played and loved “The Settler 2” should give this a try. It has even more depth and removed a lot of the quirks like managing the stationing of trained soldiers.

I think the photos are little bit too random and not significant enough. It would be much cooler to guess the year for somewhat relevant photos. Here you basically guess the quality of the camera and therefore the decade.

This is extremely difficult, isn’t it? The year is the easiest indicator, but knowing actors and actresses besides the main cast is hard. Anyone guessed todays movie correctly? Wanna share your strategy?

I haven’t voted on this post, but the data is not really presented in a beautiful or especially interesting way.

I‘ve actually when something like this will happen. A few years ago German energy providers and distributors needed to split, because it gives you an unfair advantage if you own both. Whole companies were split in two. People working for years together would no longer work together. In the end consumer were much better off after the split. I feel the same way with internet browser. It is unfair if you own the infrastructure (Chrome, energy grid) and the services that run on it (YouTube, power plants).

This is cool, however I don’t like that the result is a fixed value. I don’t think a person could take this test and reliably get the same result. This would be a good situation to use a logistic regression.
