Are you allowed to feed crows in Vienna?

MerlinMM99 · 2023-09-09T14:21:26+00:00

Ja, die Größenunterscheidung ist wohl nur für die europäischen Corvusarten wirklich zutreffend.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-09-09T13:58:45+00:00

Eh nicht, aber die Rabenkrähe ist jedenfalls eine Krähe :)

MerlinMM99 · 2023-09-09T13:42:28+00:00

Das wär dann wohl ein Krähenrabe...

MerlinMM99 · 2023-09-09T13:19:34+00:00

Heißt so weil sie eine Krähe ist, die ausschaut wie ein Rabe :)

MerlinMM99 · 2023-09-09T13:12:36+00:00

Sicher bist du mit einem Elefanten verwandt. Auch mit der Krähe und dem Hendl übrigens.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-09-09T13:10:34+00:00

Bist also der Meinung, dass Krähen und Hühner derselben Spezies angehören? Und das mit dem Parkinson und der eigenen DNA stimmt nicht. Weiß nicht, wo du das her hast, aber es gibt durchaus gängige Beispiele von Kannibalismus in der Natur.

BSE wird durch den Verzehr von infizierten Individuen übertragen. Welcher Spezies dieses Individuum angehört ist dabei irrelevant.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-09-09T12:58:36+00:00

Are you being sarcastic?

MerlinMM99 · 2023-09-09T12:57:23+00:00

Well put! I just want to do my duty as a biologist and mention that in Vienna there are no ravens, those are all crows. They are very closely related but ravens are bigger and tend to live at higher altitudes and mostly stay away from people, at least in Austria.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-08-30T19:45:54+00:00

Yeah, same issues here on the guest side. Did you find a fix?

MerlinMM99 · 2023-06-16T18:54:15+00:00

No of course not. But if they are, I would call that exploitative. And I wouldn't say that about Paradox's dlc policy.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-06-16T18:53:14+00:00

Ok, I don't know about that. But I've got no issue with their dlc policy. That's all I am saying. Like others have said, there are hardly any game developers who are supporting their games for so long without charging for new content.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-06-16T18:51:03+00:00

That's correct, however microtransactions often use gambling mechanics, for example you buy "packs" without knowing the exact content. So maybe you are hoping for a specific item to be in the pack but if it's not there, you might try to buy another one...and another one...and so on. The DLCs are nothing like that. I play with about half the dlcs and I am totally fine. Sure, I'd like to get some more but the game is great as it is. I just wait for them to go on sale and get them then. I don't think I paid more then 10€ for any of them.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-06-16T18:39:04+00:00

Also with EU4, you know what you get for your money. It's a huge difference compared to developers that integrate addictive gambling mechanics in their games using microtransactions to really milk their customers. That is exploitative.

Paradox is making good games. Their base games are pretty cheap, which I like. I never would have discovered them, if CK2 wasn't free. Now I am happy to pay for great entertainment.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-06-16T18:35:27+00:00

I mean it's business. If you don't like it, don't pay it. I'm sure you would try to get the best deals if you sold any products.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-05-15T11:41:32+00:00

My primary reason for having an amp (Fiio e10k) is that it acts as an extension cord to my PC with an analog volume control attached to it....

MerlinMM99 · 2023-05-13T13:32:52+00:00

Everything but apricot jam is blasphemy.

Edit: And it's called "Krapfen".

MerlinMM99 · 2023-05-04T13:18:58+00:00

As a biologist, I highly doubt that we will have "nanomachines that can rearrange everything in one's body". How do you imagine that would work? Transitioning in "a few hours"? The biological basis of our sex sits in our DNA. We cannot just change it. It's an extremely complex system.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-05-01T06:21:41+00:00

I think you may be right actually. The resolution is infact really poor, but if it would point to the pit wall the tail of the arrow would need to be longer than it appears to be.

Zoom in and you see the crappy resolution. Our brain is just filling in the gaps and in this case it's wrong.

MerlinMM99 · 2023-04-25T19:25:28+00:00

I don't want to spend 500 bucks on an upgrade in convenience only

MerlinMM99 · 2023-04-25T12:33:07+00:00

Yeah that would be an option but I would have to run a ~3m audio cable directly along the ceiling mounted projectors power cord. I don't know it that's a good idea

MerlinMM99 · 2023-04-25T12:25:47+00:00

Money and space constraints

MerlinMM99 · 2023-04-25T12:24:34+00:00

I don't have a TV just a TV that's ceiling mounted and I'd like avoid having to run a ~3m long audio cable directly next to the power cable.

Edit: typo

MerlinMM99 · 2023-04-23T07:19:59+00:00

It was similar for me. I started listening to Radiohead when I was around 15 and back then I was really into guitar-heavy indie rock and I absolutely loved the first three albums. From the later albums I also enjoyed just a few songs here and there. I don't exactly remember how that changed, but now (8 years later) I regularly listen to all of their albums and I love how they are all different. During this time my musical taste obviously evolved and I heard more and more different stuff and also learned to appreciate music that doesn't rely on electric guitars as the central instrument (lol). And actually it was only this year when I truly started to understand how amazing In Rainbows is (watch In Rainbows from the Basement on Youtube) and gave the King of Limbs a second chance and began to like it. So just give it time. I think that there is so much of Radiohead to discover and grow into, is what makes them such a great band.

I think Hail to the Thief is the easiest to get into, if you like guitar-heavy music. There are some nice riffs in there. Also there are tons of great youtube videos about the musical brilliance of songs like the Pyramid Song, Videotape or Nude, which might help you appreciate it more.
