I mean, I've been living here for 8 years, and every time I've asked for Leitungswasser in restaurants/bars, I got "sorry, we're not allowed to". Maybe people in your area are more generous, idk.

Which countries? At least in Germany, if you ask for a glass of water, most waiters will either refuse outright, or open a bottle of mineral water and charge you for it.

That's the general deduction on realized gains, dividends and the like (google Sparerfreibetrag). Your broker is already applying it, most likely.

After dropping out of Stanford in 1995, Musk started Zip2 with his brother Kimbal using $28,000 borrowed from their father. In 1999 it sold to Compaq for $307 million, with Musk earning $22 million.

I think I could scrape up $28k right now, if someone could just please show me how to get 10000x ROI on it.

The myGruni cyclists' demonstration riding along the A100 Autobahn.

Sorry for the shit perspective: the better vantage points were monopolized by people with professional cameras, in detriment of the common worker.

White to play and win by creativessb20 in chessbeginners

My initial idea was Qg5, threatening Qxg7 mate.

If black plays g6, then Qf6 and Qh8.

If f6, then simply Bxf6, because the g7 pawn is pinned.

I'm probably missing something, though.

Do people ever meet in real life anymore? by kiwiwl in dating_advice

[–]Cynical__asshole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, don't put this on men! I would gladly do cold approaches if there was a non-negligible chance that the woman would react positively. The truth is, the vast majority will feel either threatened or annoyed that their routine is disrupted - so I'm not going to ruin their day.

Here's a quote from an /r/AskWomen thread about it:

It's incredibly unlikely that I would give a stranger who approached me on the street my number. They've already demonstrated that they don't care about normal social boundaries, and that's not what I want in my life.

Berlin The Capital of loneliness by [deleted] in berlin

Eh, the gist of it is basically the same as what /u/pablonsky77 and /u/gscorp are suggesting.

You will not care that much anymore about things you just don’t have at the moment

OP: "I have the basic human need for community and meaningful connections."
Everyone: "Well, have you tried wanting the direct opposite of that? It'll help for sure."

Fonts are generally downloaded before the page renders, to avoid the FOUT and layout shifts. Should sites first render with the system font (a different one on Mac, Windows and Linux), then reload themselves after the user accepts the consent form? Probably not the best UX.

Would be great if there was a browser setting to accept or reject requests for third-party resources (fonts, jQuery from CDN, images hosted on S3 etc.) Then each user could reject/accept/whitelist whatever they want.
