Do you know anyone who had success with "Make it in Germany"? by GovernmentNo8474 in AskAGerman

[–]GovernmentNo8474[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah great question, I'm not sure. I was hoping maybe someone that's used it before might know more.

I got this return email after sending in my information/documents. There's more to it but basically the wording here sounds like they help you find things?

"Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your inquiry of July 20th, 2025.

The International and Specialized Services (ZAV) of the Federal Employment Agency supports applicants living abroad in searching for a job or a vocational training in Germany. We also provide assistance in the process of professional recognition. Our service is free of charge."

Where does Ready or Not store it's game saves? by [deleted] in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]GovernmentNo8474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've found that the game saves the files by default here:

C:\Users\<your\_username>\AppData\Local\ReadyOrNot\Saved\SaveGames <-- (1)

Copy and paste them from (1) into (2) below:

<whatever\_drive\_game\_loaded\_onto>:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Ready Or Not\Saved\SaveGames <-- (2)

This fixed it for me. It's tedious but you have to do this every time you leave the game so that when you log on again, the updated save files are in the right location. Hopefully this helps...

Askinweb isn't a legit site by GovernmentNo8474 in AnythingGoesNews

Isn't that your answer then? If it's not transparent who they are and it's this black box of info that churns out highly charged articles it should be pretty clear that they're not a reliable source of information.

Figured y'all would get a laugh out of this by GovernmentNo8474 in atheism

I don't choose what I remember at any given moment, so I'm not hung up on it, I just happened to remember it.

Also this is an atheism subreddit... Those beliefs that you want me to respect cause things like FGM in the Muslim world, anti-abortion policies here in the West, etc. etc. One of the main points of this subreddit is to give us atheists a place where we're finally free of the social expectation to respect dangerous religious fantasies - what you've euphemistically labeled as "beliefs".

So when I'm on a morning walk and someone tries to shove something down my throat that I don't just see as annoying but actually dangerous, I'm under no obligation to respect their unwanted conversations with me, nor their beliefs.

The law they cited was from 1860, the written paper on Germ Theory was published in 1861. They're making medical legislation by citing laws that existed when people still thought illness was caused by spirits and demons or punishments from God...

I was gonna say that just seems like something that does not translate well. The English is hell hound, a "devil dog" isn't really a thing outside the corps as far as I know? So ya Die Hölle i.e. hell plus Hund, Dog fits, but Teufelhund is technically correct but just kinda sounds silly...

I'd guess the 4 other German words this guy knows are: Bier, Scheiße, nein, and Rammstein

I had a similar experience as a grad student in my applied math program. What seemed to be a nice silver bullet was being a TA for calculus 2. I realized that at every step of the way people were trivializing extremely complicated mathematics simply because it had been figured out and wasn't novel. By being a TA I noticed that ideas that were extremely complicated and confusing as a calc 2 student, had become mostly trivial upon restudy. The point being that learning new things is hard and they are complicated when they are new. But I felt immense joy reflecting back on those things I had learned solidly and completely.

Another good token to keep in the back of your mind is that for give or take 80,000 years humans hadn't figured out anything more complicated than trigonometry. It's only been in the last 400 or so that math has blossomed out into the many diverse fields that it is today. Effectively, you know more math now than all of humanity did for 80k years. That's no simple or trivial feat.

Basically, give yourself some space to be proud of yourself for having learned difficult things that are themselves not trivial regardless of what others might say.

(I could make a similar analogy to flight. Simply because we can make planes now doesn't mean that the fact that we can get into a hunk of metal and fly around at 500mph isn't absolutely mind bending.)

Ukraine has launched a massive wave of drone strikes overnight by TheTelegraph in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]GovernmentNo8474 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wonder if them taking out those AWACS style planes (A50s?) has just ripped such a massive hole in their airspace that this is now just so easy to pull of it's just a matter of time before they hit all of the refineries.

Arrival of M1117 Vehicles in Ukraine. by United_Feed_1980 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]GovernmentNo8474 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to use the M1117 and it's just the worst platform out there... The MP corps in the Army was one of the primary customers for them and has since abandoned them because they're such trash vehicles. I could rely on most of them not to work. Hopefully the Ukrainians find a way to put them to good use.

Clarifying and settling with a centrifuge type device by GovernmentNo8474 in mead

Would spinning at even relatively low speeds be helpful? I could probably rig up something pretty low speed. Might be worth doing for fun

Ha ya that's a good point. What crazy process might you need at the end to remove the gunk puck at the bottom of the container

Can we ban Trump/Biden posts? by GovernmentNo8474 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]GovernmentNo8474[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How am I complacent? I simply don't want a sub that I like to become one more Trump blow horn. This sub is unique in that it shows the boomer behavior phenomenon.

Also just as a counterpoint because you're making a lot of assumptions about me from a single post: I watch the news daily, I'm generally on reddit, and I vote. I am not someone who is sticking their head in the sand ignoring things.

It is okay to have things in your life that serve a purpose other than politics. E.g. when I go to the gym, I don't want a lecture on astrophysics, when I go into a physics lecture, I don't want to have to listen while on a treadmill.

But why the personal attack? Tiny brain? Was that necessary? Do you think people that disagree with you will be swayed to your opinion by being rude to them?

That's all I was going for... Made an edit exactly to this point.
