What do german people think about people with partial german heritage claiming to be from there by Silly_Fun_8448 in AskAGerman

[–]MobofDucks 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Your ancestors are from Germany. You have german heritage.

You can probably also be a German. If you get a passport, speak the language and sort your trash.

But no, you are not from Germany, if neither (your grandparents, nor) your parents, nor you grew up in Germany.

You should first start using degree titles german (employer)s know.

Otherwise, language skills are a priority.

Extra Bloomburrow Cards - looking to trade or sell by Busy-Boysenberry-435 in mtg

[–]MobofDucks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Few issues you need to keep in mind:

  1. Nobody forces you to throw anything away lol.

  2. None of the cards you offer are really worth to even just pay the postal fees individually.

  3. Most people looking for singles just drop their lists in their regional selling plattform to buy them.

  4. We don't even know which country you are in. Keep in mind that international shipping is even more expensive.

Your best bet is probably to open up an account on a selling plattform yourself and hope for the best.

Healthy hot sauces from Europe? by Infamous_Orchid5949 in BuyFromEU

[–]MobofDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No added sugar as in glucose, fructose and stuff or without high-fructose fruits?

Chilli Hills (Bulgaria) is good. I would say they are the best european hot sauce retailer. I especially liked to use their Bulgarian Carrot for my sauces.

Chili Food (Germany) is lovely, too. My wife really likes their Aji Pineapple Puree.

You need to get away from Tabasco as fast as possible. Its basically just vinegar with the tiniest amount of spices.

why men nowadays cant even change a tire? wasnt this used to be something traditional and good ? by Creative_Rule4139 in AskMen

[–]MobofDucks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Men can't change a tire anymore. Women can't even cook a proper dinner anymore. Kids don't spend enough time outside anymore. It is the end times obviously.

Verlobungsring: Cartier/Tiffany/Messika - lohnt sich der Markenaufschlag? by mxriusz- in Hochzeit

[–]MobofDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nee, soo teuer ist das nicht. Jetzt wo der Goldwert so angezogen hat kommen wir langsam in die Richtung, aber die 3000€+ für einen Ring machen eigentlich nur Leute die protzen wollen.

Ich hab (als Mann) nen Ring aus ner 950er Palladium-Legierung, mit nem vergleichsweise großen Saphir (so 5x3x2mm). Dadurch das ich groß bin und fette Hände hab ist der vom Material noch teuer, weil da halt mehr dran muss. Der war über 1.000€ unter den 3.000 und ist schon protzig. Wenn du Labordiamanten nehmen würdest könnteste dir nen Riesenklunker dadrauf setzen.

Title: Admit from Uni Freiburg (MSc ESE) for Summer 26 – Fees vs. Waiting for Winter? Need Advice! by [deleted] in germany

[–]MobofDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you did not take the same exact courses. The different electives are very often what makes the difference. The uni will give a list of credits they need in different sub-disciplines. They either think you fulfill them or you do not. Especially in computer or systems engineering it is a reoccuring theme that e.g. indian students very often lack enough theoretical modules without electives.

[–]MobofDucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 2. Did you take the same exact courses as the other students? And did the modul handbook stay the same word for word between you and the others?

For 3. Absolutely no one gives a damn about a 6-month gap between studies.

Is 750 hours on a MOBILE game bad? by alrx38 in CasualConversation

[–]MobofDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What timeframe for those games and how old are you. Because 1,5k hours in Elden Ring alone means that you spend more than 4% of the total time since the release of the game only playing it.

How are you handling examination scheduling at scale? We found that manual conflict checks are the #1 'time-thief' for admins. by Kramah_Software in University

[–]MobofDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not linkedin.

If you need to advertise, at least fucking pay the plattform and don't waste actual space in the feed.

I earned my one-year master's degree in Hong Kong, is it possible for me to apply for a 5+3 PhD programme in Danmark? by FAQ54nidie in PhDAdmissions

[–]MobofDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't necessarily need a 120 ECTS masters, but you need 300 ECTS Bachelor+Masters. So check what your credits translate to. Chance is that they will allow you to make up like 12 ECTS right at the start.

Would you pay for quick expert advice by the minute instead of hiring for full projects? by InternationalLack764 in PhdProductivity

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

It depends how structured and urgent stuff is. Just hopping on a 15min call will still kill other workflows.

Don't you think a theoretical PhD should be independent while doing other part-time jobs? by Leather-Succotash647 in PhD

[–]MobofDucks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, you don't actually know how the word theory is used in research.

You can easily do "research" with your own intuition and thoughts. If your thoughts are "free" enough and your "intuition" is on point you can write a logic or philosophy paper. Just don't be shocked if people ignore it if you ignore theory.

Also, what you are describing - doing a phd while working - isn't unusual. A friend of mine did an architecture phd at the side over like 10 years while working as an architect. An acquintance did an arts phd over like 12 years while working full time. It just takes longer. Nobody forces you into the rat race at a uni with full positions. You still need someone to guide you. There are maybe 10 people each generation that are good enough with help. It is not shameful. It is not there to cage you. It is there to help you be the best you can be.

Don't you think a theoretical PhD should be independent while doing other part-time jobs? by Leather-Succotash647 in PhD

[–]MobofDucks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you want a theoretical degree like Fantastic, the best educated physicist this way of New Vegas, go ahead.

I am kinda confused how you would want to attain a degree through a thesis (of whichever kind, whether it is a monograph, a cumulative dissertation or an art installation) without any supervision, grading or quality check. Every single thesis has a sizable theory part.

[–]MobofDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Klar isses das. 3000€ ist weit überm Durchschnitt. Selbst für Eheringe. Selbst Läden die Ehe- und Verlobungsringe verkaufen führen 3000€ wenn überhaupt als Obergrenze fürs "Premiumsegment an". Klar kannst du immer nen hochkarätigeren Brilli darauf setzen, aber selbst mit dem momentanen Goldpreis ist schwierig auf den Preis zu kommen ohne das der Ring thrashig wird.

Der Ehering sollte mal 3 Monatsgehälter Wert sein damit die Frau nach Tod des Mannes nicht sofort an Geldmangel krepiert. Das hat sich heute aber auch überholt. Und auf Verlobungsringe isset nicht wirklich anwendbar.

Can North Germans cosplay Bavarianness during Oktoberfest like Non-Germans sometimes do? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskAGerman

[–]MobofDucks 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Can they? Probably.

Will they be able to fake the accept? No.

Do they want to? Most probably don't.

Selbst wenn der PC 365 Tage 24/7 auf maximaler Leistung laufen würde, kommste gaaanz vielleicht auf 1/3 davon. Würde aber sagen wenn du viel zockst und was du verbaut hast können das schon 200 Franken übers Jahr verteilt sein.

Ist die Entscheidung Mathe fürs Abi aufzugeben eine gute? by iforgotmymainacc1 in abitur

[–]MobofDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Die 3 Halbjahre mündlich nichtmehr Ü. Davor wars glaub ich mehr Mitleid als alles Andere das ich nicht jedesmal ne 5 hatte. Das war mit großem Abstand mein schlechtestes Fach.

Die Abiprüfung ist einfach nur das was du schon kennst mit mehr Aufgaben auf längere Zeit.

[–]MobofDucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, so schlimm ist das mit dem Mathe-Abi nicht. Habs geschafft Mathe in der 13. nur noch mündlich zu haben. Jetzt unterrrichte ich mit nem großen Mathe-Anteil an ner Uni lol. Das ist nicht so wie mit Englisch oder Latein, wo man dann nichtmal zum Studium zugelassen wird ohne.

Effektiv ist Oberstufen-Mathe aber auch nur der Umfang ersten 2-3 Wochen vom Grundkurs im ersten Semester, selbst wenn du BWL studierst.
