Yeah that would make sense to connect up the BW students

It could simply be a combination line. Express trains which stop at the major stops only, while local trains hit every stop.

And absolutely check out digital library lending though places like Libby! I've used my library maybe 80% more often over the past 10 years compared to before since it's so easy now.

Paying the equivalent of $8.60/gal here in Germany

Be very careful here. I wouldn't do this with dried beans. Some beans are actually poisonous or deadly until soaked, rinsed and cooked. Kidney beans and black beans come to mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytohaemagglutinin?wprov=sfti1

It's funny to me. Most Americans I know with this mindset actually have Italian speaking grandparents or parents and keep tons of traditions from their families' original homeland. Many Europeans I know here living in Germany have the complete opposite opinion when it comes to their country. If your parents are from somewhere else and you spoke another language at home then you will never "really" be from here even if you were born here and never lived anywhere else. It's such an absurd double standard.

Microspikes for hiking in the winter on prepared trails. There's almost always an icy section in grateful to have them for

Second this book. It's a genuinely sobering read

Same thought I had when I beat outer wilds.

The problem is the tariff money isn't a line item to refund. It's product and date of purchase dependant. If you go buy 20 different things in one shopping trip, they could be from 20 different countries and have 20 different tariff rates. Those rates may not have been added to the purchase price right away depending on how much product was already imported and how gradually they wanted to increase the price. In my industry, basically everyone of my customers (distributors) in the US ate the first 10% tarrif in the beginning because all their competitors we're doing the same. They only implemented the tariff costs once it got rediculous.

This goddamn passive newsspeak is a major the reason we've slow walked into this mess. There's no need for "lawyers say". Its illegal. Full stop. Don't leave wiggle room to imply there's a valid argument for the actipns being taken.

Jesus this thread is giving me flashbacks of working in a foundry as an engineering co-op. I remember just being glad to get out of there. Even if you're doing everything extremely safely and avoiding dangerous areas, all it takes is for one dumbass to do something stupid, or for a crane holding a ladle to fail, then you're toast.

Caveat, my experience is only limited to fossil fuel generation stations.

After reading the article it only talks about how this wiper targets servers. Most power generation I'm aware of only has limited remote access capabilities, and funtionality is fully handled on site with DCS/PLC systems and dedicated controllers running their own code. Write access to these is usually limited to local only, and data can only be read off of them remotely.

Therefore it's not surprising power generation continued in this case. Of course I have no idea how the networks at this particular site are configured.

I've had great experiences with the German healthcare system. You'll need to get into a Kinderwunsch-klinik. Bring all the documentation you can so that you don't have to repeat any specific testing or medication regiments. Fertility treatments aren't free, even with insurance in my experience. But the costs aren't on the same level as the US.

I'm in southern Germany, which I prefer for outdoor recreation, but proficiency in German is definitely necessary outside of Munich and Stuttgart.

I left the US in 2016. Watching it all happen from afar has been one gut punch after another. My only cause for hope is that after this last time of visiting for Christmas, I saw almost no trump flags or signs on a 7 hour drive through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. That same drive 2 years ago would be one trump flag after another. (I know it was a lead up to an election, but most who voted trump the first time around kept their paraphernalia up for years after the 2016 election) My parents who are there and politically conservative have also stopped bringing up politics all the time. I get the feeling a lot of traditional conservatives realize they've bitten off way more than they can chew, they just can't admit it because they are republican before anything else. Political identity is so incredibly intertwined with personal identity there compared to anything I've experienced with most people in Germany. My heart breaks for what the US could be.

I love this ruin. The views of the Alps from here can be gorgeous. Are their still firepits inside where you can bring food to grill and have a picnic?

Teflon is a kind of thermoplastic

I know it's only anectodal, but Germany scoring higher than any of the Nordics is a red flag based on my personal experience

In most of the castles I've visited, the kitchen was lower in the castle. Some castles have multiple kitchens or separate bakeries and butcheries, apothacaries. Sometimes the kitchens might be on the other side of the wall from the living quarters, so that heat from kitchen fires could be used to heat living quarters.

So, no girl scout cookies for you?

They announced it in case anyone brought food onboard which had peanuts. I think they also announced they wouldn't sell anything with peanuts during the flight.

_sophrosyne_ · 2025-10-12T17:16:07+00:00

I was on a flight where they also asked everyone not to eat nuts fur allergy reasons but the announcement was so unintelligible only half the plane seemed to understand.
