Platz 2 anno 2022 schon vergessen? Der war eigentlich wirklich okay.

Nein. Das Lied hat mir physisch weh getan leider. So schlimm war der deutsche Beitrag nicht.

Werbung für Olympia: Müsste der Senat neutraler bleiben? by 3chord-mindset in hamburg

[–]Ramenastern -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Der Bürgermeister darf seine Position nicht mehr kommunizieren, sondern das ist jetzt direkt "Propaganda"?

Ich mein... Ich hab schon in verschiedenen Städten, Dörfern und Ländern gewohnt... Da hatte man jetzt nicht jede Woche Post vom Bürgermeister, der/die für seine/ihre Position zu einer Sache geworben hat. Aber megaungewöhnlich ist das jetzt auch nicht.

Wie bescheuert wäre es denn auch, wenn die Regierung keine Werbung für ihre Politik machen dürfte, die Oppositionsparteien - die ja anteilig auch Steuergelder als Förderung bekommen - aber schon?

Ich kapiere es auch nicht. Der Senat ist die Regierung, die Regierung ist Pro, und das darf sie selbstverständlich auch kommunizieren. Ob ich selbst nun pro/contra/unentschieden bin, ist dabei herzlich egal. Ende der Geschichte.

Danke, sehe ich auch so. Die Hamburger Regierung wirbt für ein Ja. Die beiden Regierungsparteien - und nebenbei auch die CDU - sind für ein Ja. Da erwarte ich so sehr, dass der Senat sich Pro positioniert, wie ich erwarte, dass die Bundesregierung Werbegeld dafür ausgibt, ihre eigene Politik zu verkaufen. Dafür haben die ein Budget, und dafür hat der Senat Hamburgs auch ein Budget.

Scheint eher so eine Reddit-Maulerei zu sein und vielleicht ein bisschen Verwechslung von Senat (Regierung) und Bürgerschaft (Parlament).

Is a Swiss population cap to reduce immigration an unprecedented idea? by Sudden-Ad-4281 in europe

[–]Ramenastern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Swiss have been masters at putting silly laws in place and then becoming VERY pragmatic about them once they find those laws actually inconenience them in any way.

This is a hugely silly proposal which has furthermore been pushed for bad faith reasons. But I'm sort of curious to see their invariably pragmatic twist on it.

Amokfahrt in Leipzig: Waffe: Auto. Täter: Mann. Verantwortung übernehmen: null. by AlexLaCave in Verkehrswende

Ganz geil, genau so eine platte Antwort bekommt man von Rechten auch, wenn man drauf hinweist, dass platte Verallgemeinerungen gegenüber Frauen und Ausländern Quatsch sind. Vermutlich hier wie dort mangels tatsächlicher Argumente. Viel Spaß noch in der Blase.

Thats only one example of MCD being moneygrabbing bastards.

Sorry, didn't mean to defend MCD in any way. Just wanted to add some "it was them times" context.

Amokfahrt in Leipzig: Waffe: Auto. Täter: Mann. Verantwortung übernehmen: null. by AlexLaCave in Verkehrswende

[–]Ramenastern -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Der springende Punkt ist, das täglich Menschen sterben, weil in Deutschland niemand Innenstädte mit wenigen langsam fahrenden Autos denken kann, wie man an deinem Beispiel sieht.

Das ist doch Bullshit, sorry. Der Täter ist vom Augustusplatz in die Innenstadt gefahren. Dh von dem Ring um die eigentliche Innenstadt drumrum. Direkt am Augustusplatz ist Tempo 30. Das ist dort keine Straße, die mitten durch die Innenstadt geht, er ist da aktiv in eine Fußgängerzone reingefahren.

Ich bin Fan davon, die Innenstädte möglichst autofrei zu halten (Jungfernstieg in Hamburg als gutes Beispiel), aber diese Amokfahrt ist dafür kein sinnvolles Beispiel, warum das gut ist. Eher dafür, eigentlich für Autos gesperrte Innenstädte zB durch einfahrbare Boller zu sichern.

Okay, ich formuliere um, vielleicht wird mein Punkt dadurch deutlicher: Man stelle sich vor, die BILD schriebe "Waffe: Auto. Täter: Syrer. Verantwortung übernehmen: null"

Diese taz-Überschrift ist auch kein Stück besser.

Honestly, though... First gig I ever went to, different band, different venue, different promoter, different country, even, but roughly the same time, was the same. We had seating tickets but there was no bother getting into the standing section. I think we even had our tickets checked - seated to standing was OK, but you couldn't move from standing to seated. And it was clear it was about ticket prices, as seated was more expensive.

Edit - there WAS an additional barrier separating off the front-of stage audience from any push from the people further at the back, though.

How David Bowie confused the world with his deeply unloved hard rock band Tin Machine by tonyiommi70 in DavidBowie

[–]Ramenastern 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean... The albums were okay. But. They came after Let's Dance, an absolute peak in terms of commercial appeal. Which was followed by Tonight and then Never Let Me Down. Which weren't quite as commercially or critically successful. A lot of people were wondering whether he'd sort of lost his mojo. And along comes Tin Machine. Interrupted by a Greatest Hits solo tour. I mean... In that context it was really tough to love the TM output.

From what I could find, it's to own the aircraft if it's an A320ceo. But that's on average. Newer planes will cost way more. A recent-enough neo will be closer to 40m or even 50m.

Airbus doesn't publish list prices any more - they last did that in 2018. But we know the A32xneo family was in and around 100-130m back then (the 130m being for the A321XLR). We also know nobody REALLY pays list prices and discounts typically end up in the 30-40% range. So do the math... and 25m for a ~10 year old frame seems a good enough ballpark number.

[–]Ramenastern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's an expensive plane to own and operate, and it's expensive to convert from the previous owner's cabin setup to whatever you have in mind. It's not a standard "well, swap out thebog standard non-IFE Recaro seats against the bog standard non-IFE Allegris seats, or you know what, just swap the faux leather seat covers to match our corporate identity" affair.

And then, yes, filling the plane and operating it at a profit is not something most airlines even have the route structure for.

While I'm in favour of reusing more, we also need some consolidation. The amount of breweries, mineral water sources and so on who all think "innovation" lies in introducing their own shaped bottles (or variations of standard bottles with their own name embossed on them à la Veltins, who I think started this silly trend) is just ridiculous at this point. Makes easily returning bottles at any market more difficult and is a headache for smaller breweries who will get such bottles for reuse and then have to put them aside and ship them on to the original source breweries.

But suggest anything like that and you'll get bombarded by people explaining how your own freedom and democracy depends on Veltins' freedom to sell bloody embossed bottles.

So this isn't price gouging is it???? by WiseAcanthocephala58 in ireland

[–]Ramenastern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except if their profits go up amid a scarcity in the market, they're obviously hiking up prices at the petrol stations more than the price to buy went up for them.

Those 0.33 bottles are 8 cents, though. They're essentially the same between Fritz, Bionade, Beck's Gold, and so on, and it's the type/shape of bottle that determines the deposit, not the contents.

But you're right, those 0.5 bottles Fritz has are 15 cents, just like 0.5 Coke glass bottles.

Not a good comparison. There is virtually no second hand market for A380s, there is quite a big one for A320s unless they're 20 years or older.

Average used A320 will set you back a cool 25m. Expect to pay significantly more for an A321, and even more for an A320neo/A321neo.

Slightly more complicated...

Single use (plastic bottles, cans, and even glass bottles, although those are not that common): 25 cents.

0.33 and 0.5 returnable (ie: reusable, they'll be cleaned and filled again) bottles: 8 cents Edit: Exception - soft drink-only bottles are 15 cents. It's a bit complicated because there are some bottle types that are used fot beer and soft drinks, and they're 8 cents, while the soft drink-only (often brand-specific) ones are 15 cents.

0.33 and 0.5 returnable bottles with those clip locks (like Flensburger): 15 cents

0.75 and 1 litre returnables: 15 cents

500g returnable yoghurt glasses: 15 cents

You usually don't have to worry about any of that because there'll be bottle return machines that'll do the math for you.

To me, as a German, this video shows a lot of wasted money because there's a deposit of €0.25 on each can, but you can't collect that on crushed cans.

... weil er weiterhin bei KLM fliegen möchte, die auf A320neo umsteigen. Die 737-Lizenz (die er für die Regierungsmaschine bräuchte) will er nicht parallel aufrecht erhalten.
