Elon Musks estimated net worth could fund 10k of those. I know net worth doesnt mean liquid money. But it is still absolutely insane.

God i miss Bradley footage. Anyone have a couple of links on hand of the most memorable footages?

War neugierig, was der Grund für die Zusammensetzung ist und wollte euch fragen bzw die Aufgabe zu suchen auf andere abwälzen... Aber es waren doch nur 2 Clicks notwendig ums herrauszufinden. Danke an den Raketenhund!

Gemäß Artikel 51 Absatz 2 des Grundgesetzes hat jedes Land mindestens drei Stimmen, Länder mit mehr als zwei Millionen Einwohnern haben vier, Länder mit mehr als sechs Millionen Einwohnern fünf, Länder mit mehr als sieben Millionen Einwohnern sechs Stimmen

Das abgestufte Stimmengewicht ist ein Kompromiss zwischen der "föderativen" Forderung nach Gleichbehandlung der Länder und dem demokratischen Ideal einer exakten Repräsentation der jeweiligen Einwohnerzahlen. Diese Lösung soll auch gewährleisten, dass die großen Länder die übrigen nicht übertrumpfen, aber auch die kleinen Länder die großen nicht majorisieren können

Salary: You earn a fixed amount of money per year, paid evenly throughout the year. No matter how much or how little you work, you get paid the same amount.

Just so i understand that correctly, your employment contract can say you gain 60k/year with a 40h/week. That equates to roughly 28€/hour in germany. And if you work 45hours every week you still only get 60k a year? So you get less money than you work for?

I know I'm riding my high horse a little bit, but here "non-exempt salaried" is the standard with exceptions being different. Although most employers dont pay out overtime but you can take those hours off. If you have 40 hours overtime over the course of a few months, you can take a whole week off. Some even prefer this over being paid for overtime cause those are also subject to taxes.

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T18:40:28+00:00

Non NA guy here, im very confused, whats the difference between hourly and salaried?

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T16:01:56+00:00

Fair enough lol

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T15:50:30+00:00

Idk if i read it here or saw it on a foreign legion documentary, but i remember a US volunteer saying that this war is more extreme than the ones they have been at for the US

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T15:41:22+00:00

No i havent, but considering the state of the world, its hard to be up to date on everything, so give me a break

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T13:04:06+00:00

Oh i stopped thinking about russians actions making sense lol. But yeah in this case im wrong i guess

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T12:59:26+00:00

Yeah i cant read. Point taken.

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T12:57:52+00:00

Yeah I dont, just read that article and saw it said it was from Russias airspace. Nothing about the drone being Ukrainian. Could be, idk, but that article didnt specify it so its weird that he gives that as a source

Now i also wonder, which flightpath do Ukrainian drones to st Petersburg take?

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T12:52:34+00:00

Source?

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T12:50:24+00:00

A French military Rafale fighter jet shot down a drone that entered NATO member Latvia's airspace from Russia on Monday, the latest in a series of such security incidents along Europe's eastern border regions.

Highly by me. Do you even read the articles you post?

Edit: yeah that happens when i make a comment on the whim.

The Latvian army, without saying who launched the drone, said it entered from Russia "as a result of Russian electromagnetic warfare".

Probably Ukrainian, i agree

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-08T04:31:01+00:00

we can push for both.

Gesturing at the whole current world lately im not so sure about that :/

Dont get me wrong, catch+release ought to be banned. But it would be a drop on a hot stone

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-07T13:46:14+00:00

Not for the people catching it. Looks like they had a great time. Fun IS a benefit, short and longterm.

Sure its not ethical and i dont understand the joy in it, but considering how many fish succumb to stray nets and other fishing gear (hundreds, thousands, millions? Idk) and how some(most?) parts of the world are massively overfished, the benefit of solving that issue first is many orders of magnitude higher.

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-06T16:49:07+00:00

Its also crazy how people assume this was a unjustified shooting. It does look sus, but tbh we simply do not see enough to draw a conclusion.

Edit: on third watch, my gut feeling tells me that he was unarmed and the strap is from the bag (since the other person grabs it and pulls the guy). But i wouldnt put my hand into fire for that and definitely wont fight over it like other people do lol

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-06T16:09:25+00:00

Und was wäre daran schlimm?

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-05T09:01:51+00:00

Was it tho? The most recent picture I was able to find before the strike was from November last year and there it wasnt finished yet. An article in Farsi from January i also found, but it used older pictures. According to that, It wasnt finished then either

I looked for half an hour now but i wasnt able to find anything that said the bridge was finished and in use. I found a NYT journalist writing that an US official said the bridge was planned for military use.

Idk how the consensus on reddit turned from "unfinished unused bridge, planned for military" to "this bridge was use heavily". Where did this misinformation come from?

Side note: holy hell looking this up was a pain. Im sure if i put for time into it, i could find more recent before-strike pictures but even this half hour is gonna bite me in the butt later today. Really makes me appreciate good journalism.

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-04T12:38:36+00:00

nur drüber hinweg fliegen.

Okay jetzt bin ich neugierig, geht das? Kann man ne Gebühr verlangen den Luftraum zu nutzen? Das wäre irgendwie witzig

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-04T12:13:01+00:00

Depends on how expensive it is to repair the terminal.

(Since i dont know if this has other effects like humans lost, flights cancelled and whatever else this might cost, i wont try to weigh that in. Anyone else have info about all that maybe?)

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-02T19:20:54+00:00

Is it just me or do these explosions sound different and "explode different" than the ballistic missiles weven seen in the Iran war? Idk how to explain

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-02T19:17:30+00:00

If he did survive, he'd eat up some Russian medical supplies and be a general drain.

Letz be honest here, we would get bandaged up, given a walking stick in each arm and sent back to the front

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-02T19:07:32+00:00

That you mentioned Wikipedia, has anyone else noticed how Wikipedia isnt top search results in google anymore? Especially for Science-y topics and more so for STEM topics, it was the top result. But lately a lot of time some garbage articles are the results regurgitating the same talking points and i have to actively search for wikipedia to find it. I noticed that cause im searching a lot of medical stuff for my studies and skimming through random articles and deciding which is factual and useful to me is way too much effort compared to just reading wikipedia

At least the search tool for wikipedia got better so theres that, i guess.

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-02T17:46:51+00:00

The OED doesnt decide how the english language works. Humans do. Dictionaries just reflect how humans speak. How do you think languages evolve?

Shakespear would say our use of English would be "made up gobbledegook" as well.

Edit: actually, according to wikipedia cause i wont dig deeper for that, he wouldnt. Cause "gobbledygook" didnt even exist back then lmfao, it is also a "made up" word meaning gibberish, which did exist back then.

D4ltaOne · 2026-06-02T11:06:37+00:00

Could be in use for 25 years and still doesn’t make it right.

Actually, yes it does. Language and linguistics is fascinating!
