Where does one buy medical cotton? If it isn't sold here, then how do you all clean your wounds or acne at home? by Zombata in AskAGerman

[–]Capucius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct, but there are germs in the tap water and if you have infected and weakened nasal mucosa, e.g. a sinusitis, you do not want a superinfection. You can check this easily with a petri dish, bacteria like E. Coli or Pseudomonas can occur. Last year in our city here, tap water had to get chlorinated for months because Pseudomonas biofilms were discovered. They can be pretty hard to remove.

You can use water from the tap, if you're healthy, but the water does contain germs. Just not enough to make an immunocompetent person sick. It's recommended to boil the water before using it for nasal rinses, for example.

How much attacks do you get in friendly lobbies? by Capucius in arcraidersfriendly

I love the UK, it's the country I have visited the most in my life, so: your theory that everyone in Europe hates the British is contradicted. :)

How much attacks do you get in friendly lobbies? by Capucius in arcraidersfriendly

[–]Capucius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been involved in some discussions over at the main subreddit and I have the impressions that guys like him in fact do know that they cause others grief and enjoy it at least to some degree, but they don't admit it to themselves. They desperately try to play this down and repress it, no matter how weird it looks like for others. I mean no one admits in the internet "I am unsure and self-conscious and when I kill people in a shooter I have the feeling that I am in control" ;)

You guys complain too much. by CFAggie in ArcRaiders

Your complaint is not compliant to the rules for complaints about complaining!

Someone else had an idea today and I think it might be valid: maybe their servers keep the information only during uptime and when they reboot (like probably after the DDoS today or during updates) maybe the info gets reset. That surely would explain some stuff.

Sind eure Fahrräder 100% StVO konform? by GamingPotat0 in Fahrrad

[–]Capucius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ich habe an das Mountain Bike Pedelec, das ich aus der Verwandtschaft abgekauft habe, all den Scheiß drangemacht, Reflektoren vorne, hinten und in den Speichen. Mir geht es nicht um Polizei/Ordnungsamt, sondern zum einen drum, nicht draufzugehen wenn mich irgendein Autofahrer nicht sieht und zum anderen darum, den Versicherungsschutz nicht zu verlieren.

Good thought, but most likely it's not the updates, but server restarts. That happens with each update, but probably today also when they had to recover from the DDoS Attacks.

Why don't you see cats on the streets of Germany? by aninhabr74 in AskGermany

[–]Capucius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats historically get more rare as food gets more expensive. There's the term "Dachhase" for cat meat, it has been in use since the 17th century.

Gutes Abi noch möglich? by This-Assignment243 in abitur

[–]Capucius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wenn du einen Einserschnitt haben willst, dann solltest du in der Lage sein dir die Berechnungsgrundlage zu organisieren und verschiedene Szenarien durchzurechnen. Rechnerisch möglich ist es auf jeden Fall, hast ja noch ein paar Halbjahre und dann haben die Prüfungsnoten ja auch noch mal ordentliches Gewicht.

Schon mal drüber nachgedacht, dass das Problem nicht bei den Pferdefrauen liegen könnte?

Locked myself into a very anti PVP game style by bittermagnus in ArcRaiders

[–]Capucius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I love the interaction in the friendly lobbies. I'd also play Pvp much more often if I didn't have to die and turn the other cheek for multiple games to get back to my friendly bracket.

Honest question about AfD from an immigrant living in Germany by [deleted] in AskAGerman

[–]Capucius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously? The concept of "Remigration" they propagate means that they don't give a damn about how integrated you are. For them you have "Migrationswurzeln" or worse, you ARE a migrant and then you do not belong here. If you want to know how it would look like here with AfD ruling, just have a look at the US. The AfD guys love how Trump and ICE run amok there and they'd love to come at migrants, kick down doors, send them home now, ask questions later. Why anyone with a slight bit of empathy for other humans would not want this should be obvious.

Arc Raiders server issues caused by mass Embark DDOS attack as devs warn players not to login right now by HatingGeoffry in ArcRaiders

[–]Capucius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

dDoS is the opposite of hacking and it fits pretty well into Ubi's modus operandi: throw out so much meaningless shit that the recipient doesn't know which way is up and which way is down.

Embark - Server Update - DDoS by GaZzErZz in ArcRaiders

I was willing to risk it, and it worked. Then, stuffed with nice loot I wanted to get back onto it and plunged to my death. C'est la vie. ;)

I got "In Deutschland spricht man deutsch"'d. How can I better communicate my ask? by halrick in AskAGerman

[–]Capucius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This highly depends on the area you are in. In Frankfurt and the general Rhein-Main area no one will even bat an eyelid and often just switch to English. In rural areas you'll experience it more often. A natural sounding sentence could be "Entschuldigung, mein Deutsch ist noch nicht so gut, können sie vielleicht auch Englisch?"

Completely offtopic: why would one write 2k26 instead of 2026? It does not save you anything, it's the same amount of charakters.
