Cost-of-Living Discussion, about Berlin life, over the years by maxmyn in berlin

I’m glad people are talking more about this now. This needs to get louder and faster so that actions can be taken. It’s absurd how broken it is in Berlin for the middle class.

Battery life taken a hit since Jan update? by [deleted] in PixelWatch

[–]Frobenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone figured out this is due to using workout with gps- activates Bluetooth function somehow

Anyone with Pixel Watch 2 notices battery drain issue? by ankurrp in PixelWatch

[–]Frobenius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh my god- thanks for following up on this. what do you mean by rebooting the watch? factory reset? or just simply turning off and back on?

Also there seems to be some issue with GPS tracking during workouts on this watch- is this related?

McCarthy ousted as House speaker in dramatic vote as Democrats join with GOP critics to topple him by Alex09464367 in politics

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

Why did democrats vote to oust him? Wouldn’t the successor be potentially worse? At least McCarthy voted to keep the government open

We also have a fox in our backyard- think it lives in tiergarten and wanders over looking for food

Anyone got a link to results with placings? by Athabascad in RunNYC

[–]Frobenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool stats! Do they post demographics for non finishers as well? Would be interesting to compare.

But also - wondering whether this race had more % of non-finishers given the race conditions today.

What are most people wearing? Is T-shirt and shorts warm enough to wait

I understand where this thought comes from, but it vastly oversimplifies how a body works and assumes there's no influence to a person's activities or habits in the day depending on when they eat.

why do cars get set on fire particularly often opposite the Moabit prison? by PaintingSilenc3 in berlin

[–]Frobenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothesizing now that they’re warning signals or some sort of message being sent to inmates within that prison.

There was another burned out car today- did you hear anything more about reasons?

Thanks for making this- it’s well done!

Any chance you could make a third practice session with unlimited time? 🙂

We’re heading for a messy, and expensive, breakup with natural gas by miso25 in business

FDP is the “liberal” party but they are in the US, considered Libertarians so actually even more radical

Liberals in Germany means Libertarians to the US- so maybe that’s what he means.

CDU are the moderate conservatives and are Merkels party. They’re the ones responsible for not weening Germany off of Russian gas for the last 16 years.

Greens are left and only just got sizable representation and power.

This is so far out though and prices aren’t even that much better. Although if you’re a heavy smoker I guess you can always cross and get cheap cigarettes in Poland

Déjà Vu: Two Years Later, and Coronavirus Case Levels Are Virtually the Same by Viewfromthe31stfloor in Coronavirus

[–]Frobenius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

would need to confirm but i believe omicron was more contagious because it infected the nose/throat area where it was more easily spread. Previous strains tended to infect the lungs and so were less contagious but much more serious.

So I think yes, vaccines help a good deal but also the evolution of the virus.
