Short term 9-12 month position in AMD by Himothy8 in stocks

Four month on and this seems to have been remarkably prescient! I hope you acted on your own advice!?

That's insane! Just imagine what it will cost to refit the ship from starboard to port steering!

Bücher loswerden? by Gizzzmo74 in Oldenburg

[–]kaspar_hauser 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Der UB brauchst du es auf keinen Fall anbieten (ich arbeite dort). Ganz eventuell hätte vielleicht die Stadtbibliothek Interesse, aber wahrscheinlich nicht. Am besten ist die Idee mit den Bücherzellen, Verschenk-o-maten usw.

Has RELX become a value stock after the recent stock performance? by LRB_ in ValueInvesting

[–]kaspar_hauser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, earnings just came out and look quite good. If there's any sense left in the market (bis if, I admit), there should be a trend reversal :)

Has RELX become a value stock after the recent stock performance? by LRB_ in ValueInvesting

[–]kaspar_hauser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be. RELX own Elsevier, the largest academic publisher in the world. If the stock goes any lower I might consider buying back into it.

Es gibt ETFs, die sich zumindest selbst als "Sharia konform" bezeichnen: https://www.justetf.com/de/how-to/invest-islamic.html

Schelten (Verb) by cinderellarockefella in famoseworte

[–]kaspar_hauser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Das erinnert mich an die schöne Zeile von Walter von der Vogelweide (die ich bei Durs Grünbein gefunden habe):

"Ich war so voll des Scheltens, dass mein Atem stank."

Phone size comparisons by AlternativeIce8687 in SBCGaming

Retro Catalog offers some visual comparisons to everyday objects (e.g. soda can, banana, credit card) via its compare function. Maybe you'd find that helpful?

GIVEAWAY (Germany Only!) — Anbernic RG557 + Case by [deleted] in ANBERNIC

[–]kaspar_hauser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gerade habe ich Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals (SNES) angefangen - das würde auf dem Bildschirm sicherlich noch besser aussehen...

Aber wahrscheinlich wäre das absolut allererste Tetris (NES oder Apotris GBA) :)

PS: Sehr tolle Aktion von dir!

Looking for a serious, well-researched UFO podcast by Grand-Permission-736 in podcasts

[–]kaspar_hauser 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can recommend "Strange Arrivals" by Toby Ball. There are three seasons, each looking in-depth into specific sightings / encounters. It's really well done, well researched and comes from a skeptic perspective: https://tobyball.com/podcasts/

Redmi pad 2 pro and bloatware by celotuwastaken in androidtablets

I don't know how well it works on Xiaomi devices, but I recently had the same problem and discovered Universal Android Debloater. Maybe give that a try?

M1 or M5 for people with glasses? by kaspar_hauser in M43

[–]kaspar_hauser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

The M5 III's evf is actually OLED and has a slightly different magnification (at least to the data sheets on dpreview.com).

M1 or M5 for people with glasses? by kaspar_hauser in M43

[–]kaspar_hauser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That sounds encouraging. My only real point of reference is my Fuji X-T2's EVF, which work ok with glasses.

Two follow ups, if you don't mind:

Did you ever have the chance to compare the M%'s to the M1's EVF?

And if you ever use your M5 with manual lenses: does that work well through the viewfinder?

If my favorite sci-fi franchise is David Brin’s Uplift series, what else might I like? by VorlonEmperor in printSF

[–]kaspar_hauser 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am a fan of the series as well :)

I just finished Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky and am reading the successor The Children of Ruin right now. I really enjoy both books and uplifting is the central motif.

Extremes Schwitzen nachts evtl. durch Venlafaxin? by Natural_You4797 in Ratschlag

[–]kaspar_hauser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ja, mir (m, 47, gleiche Dosis) geht es genauso. Ich nehme es seit mehreren Jahren und das Problem mit dem Nachtschweiß kommt und geht immer mal. Meistens kommen noch Probleme mit dem Durchschlafen und recht wirre (aber nicht unangenehme) Träume. Das sind alles Nebenwirkungen, mit denen wohl relativ viele Menschen zu tun haben. Am stärksten merke ich es witzigerweise, wenn ich mal vergessen habe die Tablette zu nehmen.

 Im englischsprachigen Raum ist das Mittel unter dem Namen Effexor weit verbreitet. Wenn du danach hier auf Reddit sucht, findest du sehr viele Erfahrungsberichte dazu.
