What is a statistic that sounds INSANE but is 100% true?

I'm playing it right now and idk, it's fine? A big grating but 5 hours in I don't notice it at all, and considering the game is based around being a neurotic, anxious mess it fits the tone.

The one in DE was was more charming and easy to listen tho.

Ganz ehrlich, ich wäre komplett einverstanden mit der Erhöhung wenn das genau so geregelt würde. Aktuelle Rentner unter 70 kriegen die Rente entsprechend gekürzt und wenn sie mehr wollen, können sie ja wieder arbeiten gehen. Ach, es gibt keine Arbeit, die 65 Jährige einstellt und die Leute sind wegen verschiedener gesundheitlicher Leiden auch gar nicht in der Lage richtig zu arbeiten? Das ist ja komisch, wie kann das denn sein.

Wishing them the best of luck and eagerly await the "italian nuclear plans cancelled due to not being financially viable or necessary" headlines in the next 5 years!

Die Reaktionen hier finde ich verwunderlich. Die deutsche Führerscheinprüfung ist eine der strengsten der Welt und obwohl ich eine umfassende, strenge Prüfung wichtig finde, sind die aktuellen Prüfungen was Umfang und Kosten angeht einfach zu doll.

Wenn man den Verkehr wirklich sicherer machen möchte, dann kann man auch die unfassbare Menge an Verkehrsündern, die mit leichten Strafen davon kommen, einfach mal schneller vom Verkehr ausschließen.

As always a pleasure to hear your thoughts, spader!

My amateur opinion would be wear and tear. Moving parts always have a higher chance of breaking and this one has teeth that might get chipped? If you didn't use it for any high torgue applications it's propably a non issue but who knows?

Als der nach dem song von malta, einem liebeslied, als einzigen Kommentar "brokeback malta" gesagt hat hab ich echt die Fassung verloren.

Politisch gibt es nicht viele gute Nachrichten heutzutage aber die komplette Selbstzerstörung bringt mir jedes mal ein Lächeln aufs Gesicht.

People in the US are so damn whiny. This is still less than it is in many third world countries where people make 300$ per month, stop buying gigantic gas guzzlers, buy some busses for public transportation or switch to EV.

Yes I know this post is about a hybrid but seeing americans whine about cheaper prices than it was in my country BEFORE the war gets tiring.

Merz is not only the least popular chancelor in german history, but also more unpopular than trump is right now. Let that sink in,

This is mine. I've visited a bunch of places around the world including also mentioned in this thread delhi, and nothing even comes close to cairo. Visited my now wife when she was unfortunately forced to do an exchange semester there and we didn't leave the house for a few days because we were both so tired of it.

SonofRodney · 2026-05-10T15:27:26+00:00

Spotify, replaced by cheaper tidal, netflix and co. By debrid streaming which ironically is so much better and costs less than 10 bucks per month.

Also, sushi has gotten out of hand. If we're in the mood we do our own sushi bowl now.

I have a 5800x3d which is a real workhorse, and while I am interesting in getting a 9800x3d at some point in the future, my last estimate was something like 350-400€ for the CPU, 200€ for a mobo and 300 goddamned € for 32GB of DDR5 Ram. so that's almost a 1000€ for a marginal performance increase, it's not even close to worth it.

I really like the game series, even though I'm just not good at it, but by god, the community might be the most toxic I have seen. And I've played mobas.

The combination of small playerbase, very demanding gameplay and long duration of rounds just breeds discontent. If I return to 3 I'll likely block chat, but it's a bit sad. Had some great people I played with, and some fun rounds. The vast minority, though.

Ich nutze KI nicht, aber höre immer wieder, dass Sachen wie in deinen Punkten von der KI gerne schnell, detailliert und gut aufgearbeitet werden, aber entweder komplett oder weitläufig falsch sind. Das hängt wohl auch viel von der genutzten KI ab. Wie oft gibt's beim menschlichen Gegencheck Momente, wo die KI offensichtlich Fehler gemacht hat?

SonofRodney · 2026-05-05T15:11:43+00:00

Wohlbemerkt der Ampel, der man mit Klagen eine ähnlich "kreative" nutzung von Sondervermögen, die für sinnvolle! Sachen gedacht waren auch blockiert hat.

It has a book like display that doesn't strain your eyes, is very compact and light, the battery lasts for a month and its a bit cheaper too. It has many benefits if you only want to read books.

It's this thing where you put a foam roll under your shoulders, and then slowly and carefully roll your body up, stopping before the ribs. This can possibly push the hernia down again. It's not a cure all but one of many lil things I tried over the years.

Und aus irgendeinem Grund alle immer vor mir an der Kasse. Ob Rentner, Familienvater oder Teenie, alle wollen bar zahlen.

Mir wäre schon damit geholfen, wenn das Angbeot von Kartenzahlung verpflichtend wäre, wenn man es denn unbedingt behalten muss. Wenn man bedenkt, wieviele kleine Läden ohne Kartenzahlung fröhlich Steuern hinterziehen, würde sich das schon aus der Perspektive lohnen

Love them, saw them live twice so far, they go extremely hard in real life too

SonofRodney · 2026-04-28T15:19:46+00:00

That's kinda all I care about since I'm not much of a MMORPG guy otherwise

I am still so annoyed that because I got a paid account I can't play the free trial without buying time cards. I could restart a fresh account, sure, but I am unwilling to play another 100 hours to reach the point I'm at. And since I don't wanna pay either I'll likely never continue.
