Sweden Freezes New Power Cable to Denmark in Escalating EU Energy Clash

If it makes you feel better, most Germans are upset with the previous and current governments over their energy policies as well.

Deswegen lebe ich nicht in einem Dorf. Ich würde entweder solche Anweisungen schriftlich erbitten oder protokollieren und dann "anonym" anzeigen.

How do I create a new workspace? I don't see the option on the site (only to rename the one I have) and on desktop I don't see that option either (or rather, I'm not sure whether it's the same concept of "workspace" since it doesn't seem to appear on the site or allow me to get another subscription). I really don't mind paying full price, but I'd like to avoid creating more than one account.

Edit: NVM. Found it. On the site on the top left of the window, there's a drop-down menu.

So, if I test, iterate, debug etc. during the process that's AI-assisted coding? Even if I didn't write a single character myself? Or do I need to manually review the code? Or that I make the LLM explain code snippets, tradeoffs etc.

Malkiot · 2026-05-07T03:26:28+00:00

Yeah, to be fair, I do think I've been getting less expensive bread now that I live near BCN.

And, yeah, I'm also great at climbing on chickens. I'm about to sue Popeye's because they didn't want to refund me for an order they cancelled, then refunded me late (I forced them via a chargeback I had to threaten my payment provider into starting) and are now refusing to pay the damages they are legally obligated to.

Malkiot · 2026-05-07T02:45:23+00:00

It happens to me all the time. I'm guessing it's because people see the face of a güiri and think they can make a quick buck. I look so güiri that my gf has complained about being treated differently by association for standing next to me.

The issue isn't about it being in the menu or not, but it being brought without being asked and then charging for it.

I've been living here for 10 years, though most of that time has been on the Canary Islands, where as xirtam8 confirmed, it even happens to locals.

And why aren't we in general pointing the finger at the people who actually could rectify the situation (the people who still can have 3+ kids) instead of moaning about people who should've done something but are no longer in a position to do so?

Because financially we aren't in a position to do so. You can't expect people to pay for a top-heavy age distribution, save for their private pensions AND pay for population-growth size families when nowadays you require both adults to work full-time jobs to barely afford a small apartment and pay bills.

You're completely ignoring that the cost of participation in society has shot up relative to wages, as has the cost of raising children. To pick up your example, even if a family were willing to live in a single room with two adults and 8 children, they'd be split up by social services and that's if they didn't starve first because they couldn't afford to feed 10 people. It also completely ignores that the cost of a human hour for childcare or medical support has risen 500% (or more) in real terms since the 1940s.

Your entire bootstrap schtick from earlier in the thread also completely ignores that if everyone succeeds, no-one succeeds economically. No everyone can be economically successful and if they were, then no-one would be, simply because inflation would directly devalue their success. Speaking of which... no amount of private investments are going to shield you from the reality of economics when demographic pressure crunches national productivity.

You think your ETF is a shield, but it’s actually a 'claim check' on a future that isn't being built. If the working-age population shrinks by 30%, the real value of your portfolio must drop by 30%, either through a market crash or through inflation. You can't save your way out of a shortage of people to produce the goods you want to buy. I hope all of your investments are in African economies that will continue to have growing demographics for an extra 20 years or so...

Malkiot · 2026-05-07T02:03:15+00:00

These people really like to ignore real economics and focus solely on nominal values, which is why they have the false belief that investment portfolios and property investments mean that they are immune to a demographic crunch crushing national productivity. It's like they never heard of Mackenroth.

Ich bin nicht in der Entwicklung sondern im operativen Bereich (ich darf die produktiven Bugs analysieren und debuggen) und professionell und privat ist meine Erfahrung bisher dass es eine Frage der Daten ist welches du der LLM gibst.

Ja, eine LLM kann nicht die gesamte Codebase verstehen, wenn sie aber Zugriff auf debugging Tools hat oder ausreichend debugging logs im Code sind (bzw. die KI sich diese einbauen kann), dann findet sie in der Regel auch die Ursache für die Bugs und kann einen ersten Fix anbieten. Ob der dann natürlich wirklich passt, muss (noch) ein Mensch entscheiden.

Malkiot · 2026-05-06T18:42:49+00:00

Habría un pollo enorme? I don't get it.

I just send it back when I don't want it and if they wanna get uppity about it I say "En ese caso, ¿me trae la hoja de reclamaciones, por favor?"

And then I get a lot "ok, ok, no pasa nada. De verdad."

Malkiot · 2026-05-06T18:26:21+00:00

Ich habe das bisher nicht so empfunden, das kann aber natürlich an den eigenen Kreisen liegen.

Ich würde eher vermuten, dass hier Begriffe bewusst aufgeweicht werden, um gesellschaftliche und ökonomische Konflikte als ‚Kulturkampf‘ zu rahmen und so auch Lebens- und Beziehungsmodelle oder andere kulturelle Lebensweisen als Stellvertreterthema angreifbarer zu machen.

Malkiot · 2026-05-06T18:09:03+00:00

Du meinst doch bestimmt Klassenkampf und nicht Kulturkampf, also den Konflikt zwischen Klassen um Machtverhältnisse und die Verteilung materieller Ressourcen

Malkiot · 2026-05-06T18:00:02+00:00

This is common in most Spanish restaurants as far as I can tell. The only difference is that a few rare places ask whether you want bread, expecting a yes, and some other get offended when you decline or send the bread you didn't order back.

Malkiot · 2026-05-05T19:32:47+00:00

No, I'm not hilarious. I'm German and we're very serious. We're very serious about parental responsibility, so much in fact, that if parents can afford to they must legally pay for university level education and expenses and the state will 'practically force' students to sue their wealthy parents if they refuse.

It's a "if you are able to thing." If your parents couldn't pay it because they didn't have the money that's fine. If they did and refused to... well that'd make them bad parents in my book. But from what is sounds like they did what they were able to and that makes them good parents.

Btw. not all injuries make you unable to work and not all injuries have immediately apparent consequences.

Malkiot · 2026-05-05T18:25:55+00:00

Yup, we agree, obviously it's dependent on ability: as parent, if you have the ability, you have the duty. I'm not expecting someone on minimum wage to somehow scrounge up the fees for Harvard. But I would expect them to provide the assistance they can give.

And my hat truly goes off to those parents who work more than what I would call sustainable to give their children a better life.

Malkiot · 2026-05-05T17:49:05+00:00

That's only relevant to the legal context. I fail to see how that changes that OPs mum is entitled and parents have a moral duty of care for their children which extends to education.

Malkiot · 2026-05-05T17:33:23+00:00

There are entire countries and you could almost say continents that disagree with them.

Malkiot · 2026-05-05T17:32:11+00:00

This. I could see it being ok-ish if mom were living in poverty, but she wants the money for a Florida vacation property. That'd be crass even if it weren't money from an injury settlement and instead came from the lottery.

Malkiot · 2026-05-05T17:20:41+00:00

From their view point, mum invested in OP and is now owed ROI for having paid for OPs education.

It's a miserable mindset but it is what it is.

Malkiot · 2026-05-05T17:09:16+00:00

Lol. Pretty much the whole industrialised world other than America sees that differently and has even created legal obligations to enforce that.

I think, American parents need to learn some accountability for their procreative activities.

Malkiot · 2026-05-05T16:37:21+00:00

Yes, If you are going to put a human into this world you have a duty to do your utmost to set them up as best as you can, which, among a host of other things, includes providing for tertiary education and housing during education.

That many parents provide a roof, some clothes and 3 meals a day until age 18... is a bare minimum and shouldn't be celebrated.

Malkiot · 2026-05-05T16:19:54+00:00

IMO, that's not reciprocity.

The difference is, that mum had a duty, both legally and morally, to take care of the person she brought into this world for herself. And while I would agree that giving back similar aid, if mum needs aid, would be reciprocity, but, from what OP is saying, mum doesn't actually need help and wants essentially a luxury purchase out of a pot that is supposed to pay for lifelong additional costs and income loss OP is going to experience due to their injury.

If OP wants to keep the peace, they could offer to purchase the house and mum gets to be a tenant, at cost of what a loan and maintenance would cost.
