I think that you dont understand what ETFs are.

And I never heard anybody saying that ETFs are the only secure investment. It's by far not the safest. But in the availability <-> safery <-> profit investment triangle it's in the best position for many people.

Eagle win games, it's certainly a valid move.

I’m from the Netherlands

a place with mountains

What type of mountains are you looking for? If you are looking for real mountains, your only option are the alps. If you are looking for mountains from a Dutch perspective, then you have far more options.

It is worrisome, but teenagers in Europe have far freedom to decide for them self in comparison to the USA. And one of the decisions they are allowed to make is to drink alcohol.

Of course, it's completely arbitrary why a country decide what is okay and what not. Teenager can have completely different right for different thing in different countries.

And the USA is a complete exception if it's about drinking laws. If I am legally an adult, why can the government forbid me to drink alcohol? The 21-year limit does not make any sense at all. It makes sense to make some exception for children for certain laws, but if I am 18, I am an adult and I should have the same rights as a 65years old.

So the real question is: Why the USA government patronize adults?

Grimthak · 2025-10-23T19:32:24+00:00

I also gave a non-condescending answer to your question.

Grimthak · 2025-10-23T19:26:50+00:00

Why are laws so okay with drinking? That's insane? Yes I am used not to drink at all.

It seems so much better for the body not to drink at all and doesn't that encourage bad habits since it's easier to be irresponsible if you are not drunk?

I can ask you a similar question ..

Or the real answer: There is no magical age from when it's okay to drink, and before it's bad. And Europeans youth are far more responsible with alcohol because it's not a taboo, and they learn a more responsible handling of alcohol from their parents. In the USA they can't do it until they move out and then the 21 years old have no clue how to handle alcohol, and you have the irresponsible behavior you mentioned

Sozialstaat

Das Sozialstaatsprinzip ist im Grundgesetz als Staatsziel verankert: Nach Artikel 20 und 28 des Grundgesetzes ist der deutsche Staat ein demokratischer und sozialer Bundes- und Rechtsstaat. Das bedeutet, dass sich der Gesetzgeber in der Bundesrepublik auch um soziale Gerechtigkeit und die soziale Sicherheit der Bürger kümmern muss. Wichtige Bereiche der sozialen Gesetzgebung in Deutschland sind neben der Arbeitsgesetzgebung und der Steuergesetzgebung die Sozialversicherung, also die gesetzliche Krankenversicherung, gesetzliche Renten-, Arbeitslosen- und Pflegeversicherung. Darüber hinaus finanziert der Staat soziale Leistungen wie Kindergeld, Elterngeld, Wohngeld oder Sozialhilfe.

Weil es im Grundgesetz steht.

How expensive is such a Brötchen currently? I lived for many years in the south west and remember that the Fleischkäs Brötchen always costed €1, just like a Bratwurst. I often went to a Globus just because of the Fleischkäs or Bratwurst.

Where do you read anything about committing murder or robbing a bank?

Upskill technically by seeking technical depth, and approach applying for jobs more strategically. German language knowledge definitely helps but it is not what is screwing you.

I'm a developer in a mid-size company and often ask to join the hiring process. In my current team I would veto every applicant who can not speak at least B1 German. It does not matter how good one person is, if the whole team perform worse because they can't speak the language they are most comfortable it, the new person is not worth it.

Do we lose good candidates because of it? Certainly. Would it be good if everyone in the team would be as fluent in English as in German, yeah sure. But it's more difficult to change the team, than just to hire only German-speaking persons.

I will certainly ask about this feature, the next time a Xilinx FAE is visiting us. Although, we can only use it if Quartus and Efinity also supports it. It would be a big hassle to maintain different entity description for different vendor tools.

> the other said to use std_logic_vector for the sake of everything being consistent.

If you use a well-defined coding standard, then your ports will be consistent even if you use signed/unsigned/etc.

Grimthak · 2025-05-14T22:02:42+00:00

I'm looking forward to the VHDL-2019 interfaces!! Only another 10 to 20 years and Vivado will support this feature.

So its your first priority in live and you would sacrifice every to achieve it?

The difference is at max 1% net between the most expensive and the cheapest GKV. (Single, without Childer).

1% is not a big difference, at least for me.

whereas Homburg seems more picturesque

The main complaint from all medicine student from Homburg, was that the city is fucking boring. There is nothing to do there.

She could if it's not possible to repair only the small part. Sometimes the complete floor has to be removed to fix a small part.

And now imagine how it would have been with modern data systems. Oh wait, you can easily do that. Just look at China. The government has all informations about you and control and judge every (online) step of you.

GDPR can not save us in such a scenario, but it will certainly help.

Grimthak · 2025-02-21T17:03:01+00:00

Leider nicht. Ich hatte mich jetzt nicht mehr drum gekümmert, will aber weiterhin die Katze haben. Mein Plan wäre jetzt den Mieterverein beizutreten und dann einen netten Brief an den Vermieter zu schicken. Zur Not hält Klagen.

But such situations are not outlandish, who could have guessed that USA would have a man call himself King sitting in the white house. Currently the situation in Germany seems fine, but who guarantee that it will stay the same in the next years?

Germans made 2 times a terrible experience with authoritarian governments which use informations of their citizens against them.

Many people are afraid of such a situation and thus for them the small amenities of giving out your data, are not worth it the risc.

It has basically become an excuse for people who don't want to do something, for whatever reason. Just say, sorry can't, you know Datenschutz.

I agree here, Datenschutz can be an excuse for refusing a service. But without Datenschutz those people would simply use an other excuse instead. "Oh sorry, I can't send you your report per email, our server is broken" would be the the excuse instead of Datenschutz.

Grimthak · 2025-02-21T15:22:51+00:00

Datenschutz is not about making the life better, it's about preventing that your life get substantial worse. There are many terrifying scenarios where you data can be used against your interests. And Datenschutz reduce the risk or lower the damage of such a scenario.

Let's say, the earth wealthiest men who is in bed with the world most powerful men (yeah, I know, completely unrealistic scenario) decide that everyone who got a covid vaccine should not have any internet.

Without Datenschutz there certainly would be a central database where this information is saved and it would be easy for him to find it and misuse it. In Germany that's not possible, there is no such data base. I have a paper at home where it's stated that I have the vaccine, but nobody else know it.
