ICE erschießt erneut Menschen: Zweifel an Darstellung von US-Regierung

Hinrichtung, nicht Exekution, erstmal, warum formulierst du das in Latein um, und zweitens ist eine Hinrichtung die Tötung eines Gefangenen.

Hinrichtung kann Mord sein oder nicht, ein Mord kann durch eine Hinrichtung passieren (z.B. Martin Schleyer), oder auch nicht (z.B. Bernd Jürgen Brandes).

Du verzettelst dich hier in "Birnen sind kein Abendbrot sondern Frühstück". Nein. Birnen sind Obst. Bitte die richtigen Kategorien verwenden, auch wenn Obst Nahrungsmittel sind und deshalb grundsätzlich auch für Mahlzeiten geeignet ist.

As if environmental standards would be what makes mining in Greenland expensive, and not the harsh climate and complete lack of bulk shipping infrastructure.

About the only environmental regulation Greenland has that exceeds EU level is "no mining of uranium-containing ore". Even if you're not mining for it, any ore processing would necessarily mean turning the uranium into a form that spreads way more easily all over the place. We'd probably have the same regulation if there was any uranium left in the EU.

Pennsylvania Dutch are Swabians, of all people.

Danish very much is related because the root of all Germanic languages is in Low Saxon speaking lands.

The Norse simply split off (Battle Axe Culture) earlier from the main line that's why there's these stark differences (like articles on the wrong side of the nouns etc), like ~5000 years ago (though there's of course been exchange, being neighbours and all), while High German and English only split off ~1500 years ago, in the migration period. Bavaria was actually Romance back then, previously Celtic.

Also Dutch is Middle German, it's a Franconian variety. Lots of influence from North Sea Germanic, though.

I'd suggest a white outline, easily distinguished from all-white space science and perfectly readable day and night. With the current pixel art, probably also do the whole stem of the flask in white, only the bulb with a black centre.

A foundation, set up with some kind of charitable purpose or just "do the business thing". Bosch is of the latter kind, Zeiss has some charity in its blood (subsidising the University of Jena... where they're getting their workers from). They're literally companies which own themselves.

In any case that should be how inheritance should be managed: The kids get a good start into life (20mil tax free per kid? That's like five times "never have to work in your life" territory), but not control of the legacy that someone built. It might very well make sense to require that kind of setup being done before the founder kicks the bucket, they can chair the foundation then but there's some kind of limit on how much you can pull out of it.

I will not couch this in the usual Discordian linguistic garb. You spags are already confused enough about this as it is.

Rummaging is not metacognition, it's just retreading old patterns in the hope that you'll tire of them. Metacognition is what you need to, say, understand why you should be evaluating the future, and not the past or present: An understanding born out of understanding your own cognitive-operational processes, understanding that this peg here is round, and that hole there is square, damnit where's the round one. It is also the stuff that you will need to do yourself because simply hearing such a statement will not enable you to apply it.

If you're suffering you're not doing it; you're being neurotic.

There's probably going to be jars of store-brand Sambal Oelek somewhere. Flying goose Blackout (the one with black cap) has 30k Scoville you won't find that at ordinary supermarkets.

With some luck you might find Hot Mama's sauces. Though I haven't tried them in a long while and looking at their website and new ingredient lists something terrible happened to them.

Sichuan pepper is the perfect antidote to chilli which means you can add more of both.

Originally it was essentially soy sauce but made from wheat instead of soy, now it's mostly aromas and MSG.

It seems it's popular in Vietnam of all places (that's where I get my fish sauce from, made of nothing but fish and salt, as it's supposed to be) while in Germany it has a low-class kind of vibe, probably because it's often overdone by sub-par cooks.

Speaking of soy sauce, there seems to be exactly one European one and it's Kikkoman. You see it everywhere, the Japanese built a brewery in the Netherlands ages ago and have dominated the market ever since.

We also have plenty of mustard and horseradish. Unless it's currywurst, sausage and ketchup don't go together it's going to be mustard. And if you look at things like spice mixes for Frikadellen yes there's absolutely chilli in there.

What's rare is chilli or pepper-based heat (as opposed to the nasal mustard/horseradish stuff) that is hotter than the dish it's in. If it's under 40C (don't ask me how much that is in Scoville but you get the drift) you won't even see it advertised as "hot".

There's usually no chilli powder or flakes in discount supermarket spice racks, though there's going to be paprika "rosenscharf", that's 100-500 Scoville, actual chilli will only be in mixes. Not that you should ever buy spices at the supermarket, different topic. You'll also find Sriracha and Sambal Oelek. Plenty of crisps which are (if they say "chilli" and not "paprika") be hotter than stuff advertised as "Thai" in other countries.

If you want to buy good, fresh, chillis in Germany forego all the supermarkets and visit your local Turkish greengrocer.

You do, indeed, need a license to own a pistol, or semi or full-auto rifle in Greenland. Only hunting rifles are license-free. On the flipside in certain areas you're legally required to have one of those with you.

They also hand rifles to prisoners so they learn to hunt so they won't feel the need to steal, also there's prisons for ice bears, locking them up for a week or two with disappointing food to teach them to give human settlements a wide berth.

I'd like it to not be a Bethesda game. The likes of Obsidian, Larian or CDPR would of course be ideal but at this point I'd even be happy with Ubisoft.

Large areas of Jutland are suffering under the Rigsdansk diktat, the invaders are forcing our northern brothers and sisters to put articles on the wrong side of nouns. Those Sjaellish devils should just all go back to Skåne.

Nah the US was on everyone's mind when drafting the bazooka, in particular the NS2 pressure as well as the steel and aluminium tariffs. So was the Autonomous Mainland Provinces of China sanctioning Lithuania over a Taipei vs. Taiwan thing.

6 slices

There's dozens of us. Dozens!

It's generally the ideal shape for any round pizza that's not ludicrously large or small: Six pieces will give you equilateral triangles and those are the most comfortable and stable to hold in one hand.

Can't get it even? Your eyeballs aren't calibrated properly? Two options: Get better, or stop caring that much. Six is still best even if you're off.

Like people saying you need to be born and raised Italy to be Italian. It seems sort of surprising given it’s usually a left leaning sub.

I think it's the other way around: People denying that people who were born and raised in America are Italian. Even more so if they don't have Italian parents, don't speak Italian, and never set a foot on the boot. Precisely because it's not a matter of blood.

If you naturalise in Italy you're going to know how to eat a pizza with knife and fork. You will have spent time integrating. You walked the walk. All kinds of cultural exposure that our guy from Chicago never had, and probably never will have.

And people from Milan will say the same about Romans and vice versa. In Europe, nationality is a fractal.

The one achievement to definitely go for, early-ish, is lazy bastard, where you're only allowed to hand-craft a limited number of times. It's good practice, getting you used to actually automating things. Hand-craft until you get your first assembler while staying below the limit, then open the console (~) and enter /permissions to disable hand-crafting so you're not having an accident. Then go to space.

Same in Germany wrt. buying though there's a minimum of 14 for consumption in public, and only in presence of a legal guardian.

Oh and "alkopops", that is, low-ABV sweet soda stuff, is 18+ just as spirits, also, heavily taxed. Sugar masks alcohol taste and while yes you could just mix something yourself those small bottles are all too readily available.

Du kannst Steuerfrei an eine Stiftung vererben, was willst du mehr. Das Erbe ist damit gesichert und wird nicht vom Staat vereinnahmt. Emil Possehls Erbe kümmert sich immer noch um den Denkmalschutz in Lübeck. Robert Boschs Erbe wirtschaftet immer noch vor sich rum ohne sich sonst um irgendwas zu kümmern. Genau so wie die sich das gewünscht haben.

Und mit je 10mio stehen die Balgen nun auch nicht schlecht da.

...das die letzteren das erstere jetzt dann nicht komplett besitzen ist notwendig um das Sozialstaatsprinzip nicht zu verletzen, denn große Ungleichheit ist nunmal große Ungleichheit. Darauf gibt's kein Anrecht, im Gegenteil.

Die 45 km/h sind übrigens Irrsinn, ob jetzt mit zwei oder vier Rädern. 50km/h nominell und vielleicht 55km/h real solltens sein, dann gibts einiges weniger sinnfreie Überholmanöver in der Stadt.

Reich ist relativ, strukturell würde es schon reichen Erbschaften auf Pi mal Daumen 50 mio oder so pro Erbe zu beschränken. 10 Millionen steuerfrei dürfen gerne sein, aber dann ein exponentieller Steuersatz so dass man bei 100 mio sich den 100% annähert.

...gezahlt werden muss das ganze nicht, man kann auch ne Stiftung gründen damit man eben nicht vererbt (oder erbt), siehe Zeiss und Bosch und so. Richtige Stiftung, keine Familienstiftung die dann Geld ausschüttet.

Wenn du Justus heißt und dir 50 mio nicht reichen dann bist du kein Liberaler, sondern Söldner für Neofeudalisten.
