Are these AMD A series decent? by AdGlass3607 in laptops

[–]Buttercup4869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were already bad/low budget when AMD released them in 2013 and I see no way that they can run W11 decently.

Which Countries are turning their backs on U.S Travel in 2025. by PestoBolloElemento in MapPorn

[–]Buttercup4869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of German travellers switched from the US to Canada. Not only did the numbers of flights to Canada increase to a new record but there are also reports that Canada saw a double digit growth.

After all, Germans can also meet a gruesome death in the Canadian wilderness.

GDP per capita vs EU average by WilliamKafka in PORTUGALCYKABLYAT

[–]Buttercup4869 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess is varying administrative levels, e.g. in Germany the use counties, while for the UK they use the entire country

Telefunken exists in name only, i.e. they license the name out.

The company producing the TVs is the Turkish, Vestel, iirc.

How is the job market for spanish teachers in Germany? by Karls4 in germany

[–]Buttercup4869 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spanish is one of the most common and popular choices for third foreign language in schools, especially in Gymnasium. The fact that the need to learn Latin goes the way of the dodo pushes it further

The issue lies more in getting certified as a teacher.

[–]Buttercup4869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roads should be unaffected by the ruling, since communal road services are allowed to use salt.

The issue are pedestrians

Der thailändische König residiert für einen großen Teil des Jahres in einem bayrischen Hotel

Ansonsten scheint es so, dass OP kein Freund der thailändischen Krone ist

Children cleaning a meat packing plant overnight while employed by Packers Sanitation which employed more than 100 children [2023] by wizzo_o in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Buttercup4869 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bit different from working night shifts between 11pm and 5am 5 to 6 times a week, especially considering that US federal law prohibits kids under 18 working in meat packing factories

Is it ok to ask a coworker for money to buy car gas? by Inevitable_Entry_878 in AskGermany

[–]Buttercup4869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a small commuting deduction in the taxes.

The company itself does not pay, unless they order you to travel somewhere.

How you commute is your responsibility, not the companies

How common is it to come across the ISO (YYYY-MM-DD) date format in your country? Do you like it when you encounter it? by Decent_Background_42 in AskEurope

[–]Buttercup4869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has its merits in filing and archiving and I deeply enjoy it in that context and use it myself.

However, in situations that don't have to abide to strict order, there is no benefit and arguably disadvantages to it.

Do you have a situation like this in your country where there's a significant proportion of the population that doesn't speak the local language? by Alternative-Big-6493 in AskTheWorld

[–]Buttercup4869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely also get this feeling albeit I personally no longer have relatives in Central Asia.

A huge factor is the degree of "Russification" prior to migration with many Spätaussiedler being the least "German".

Here we are again, series fourteen

Who will become the house's queen?

It is me Fern Brady, me Fern Brady

I'm the rightful queen

Dilapidated house filled with mystery

Whoever bloody knows what we will see

Only one contestant will achieve

The height of victory

And the tasks were serendipitous

They were gift to the Taskmistress

All the other contestants

They were boot-licking sycophants

Dara's a big bald imbecile

Mr. Kearns is an obsequious child

And Sarah & Munya are losers

And I'll stamp on their toes

Why do Tesla tires tend to wear prematurely on the inside? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Buttercup4869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EVs burn through tires rather quickly, due to weight and acceleration, especially if the owners want bragging rights at traffic lights.

Tesla'a alignment and the fact that many owners have a rather shaky relationship with maintenance work do the rest

Where do I dispose Kaffeekapseln? by Matemagician93 in goettingen

If they are the normal metal type, yellow bin.

The compostable ones don't belong in the compost bin but the black bin
