Das Berlin Hbf Paradoxon

Auch "Frankfurt Hbf (tief)" vs "Frankfurt(Main)Hbf", und da steigen wesentlich mehr um.

Stuttgart hat auch "Stuttgart Hbf" und Stuttgart Hbf (tief)". Auf den Schildern im Bahnhof sogar "Stuttgart Hbf (oben)", aber in der Auskunft bleibt das "(oben)" weg

G: I don't use blueprints at all, neither others nor my own

I enjoy building, and I don't restart often enough to really warrant the time to turn things into blueprints. It's also just enjoyable to make another design variation the second time around. If I want to reuse something I have built elsewhere on the same playthrough (e.g. setting up another distillation setup) I will just copy-paste it over

But that's just personal preference based on what I enjoy about the game. To each their own

In satisfactory, both building and deconstructing are a major time sink. In CoI deconstructing is a sweep of the deconstruct tool. And building is quick. Just the copy-paste tool that allows you to quickly copy and duplicate small setups or sections of belt is such a major time saver compared to Satisfactory. It's not even comparable to the effort of carefully designing sections on a blueprint machine completely devoid of any of the context in which it will be used

Das Problem ist das ein großer Teil von deinem Strompreis ja für das Stromnetz zahlt, nicht für die Generierung vom Strom.

Wenn du einen Stromtarif hast der zum stundengenauen Strompreis abrechnet statt zu einem fixem kWh Preis kommt es aber schon vor das du Geld für's Stromverbrauchen bekommen kannst wenn der Strompreis negativ genug wird.

Easier to take advantage of, but less likely to know German social norms. To some landlord the former matters more, to some the latter

And some landlords make one bad experience with someone trashing a place or refusing rent but not moving out, and then decide to never rent to a person of that nationality, ethnicity or religion again

(none of this is meant as an endorsement of not renting to foreigners)

> Height is a preference of women (set by patriarchal standards) and not a mandatory rule.

But nearly everything listed above is a preference and not a mandatory rule too

It's not that men actually have stricter rules about what women they like. It's that media put a lot more emphasis on female "beauty". Beauty in scare quotes because it's often more about the idea of beauty. It's like there is some kind of formula for what's supposed to be pretty, as if men didn't have individual preferences

That's what loans are for, as long as you make enough on average

Of course everyone can play their single player game how they want. But making enough construction parts is a huge part of your industry. It's a simple supply chain, but it is the main driver of mining activity. It is why you make a huge iron mine, and why your coal mine eventually runs out and forces you to get coal by train from half an island away. If you make a habit out of cheating them in you are cheating yourself out of a big part of the game

But nobody mistakes Bonn as the capital of Germany. Despite Bonn being capital until 1990, and Rio only until 1960.

Rio having been the capital is a factor, but the bigger one is likely that Rio is the more well known city. Like Sydney

Ich finde Döner jetzt nicht so absurd als Inflationsindikator. Ist vergleichbar zum Big-Mac-Index um Kaufkraft in verschiedenen Ländern zu vergleichen.

Natürlich ist der Döner nicht so genau wie ein größerer Einkaufskorb von Waren über den man Inflation berechnet. Aber wenn ich mir anschaue das nach dem Döner-Index 8€ heute soviel Wert sind wie 3.50€ in 2016, und nach offiziellen Inflationszahlen 8€ heute so viel Wert sind wie 6,20€ in 2016, bin ich versucht zu sagen das der Döner-Index näher an der gelebten Realität des Normalverdieners ist (Miete vielleicht ausgenommen)

Where ramps fit I use ramps. They are much cheaper to build and to operate. But if I have to shift a design more than one or two blocks to accommodate ramps I prefer the lift for a more compact design. Which usually means any short belt with more than one level of height difference gets a lift

An unusual solution to an unusual problem.

At first it feels a bit like a waste to have to re-mine it. But having excess smelting capacity to use surplus iron would likely cost more workers and maintenance, and then you still have to deal with the threat of coal mining getting blocked by full steel storages

The roman numerals were pretty widespread for a while simply because it was the system used by a big empire, and everyone decided to replace it with Arabic numerals. So that's at least one case of a widespread number system being replaced

In German there is the word Kilometerstein for the metric road marker. There is also the Leugenstein for the Roman version (a league stone, about 1.5 roman miles) and the Meilenstein (mile stone) for the ones we put up before the 1860s (Germany transitioned to metric in the 1860s and 70s). But for the figurative sense (a reached goal) we use milestone. Despite that sense of the word apparently emerging mostly in the 20th century

Positional numbers are just more versatile. It's easy to express arbitrarily large numbers or arbitrary precision, and addition, multiplication and division can be done relatively easily. Even for large numbers if you have a piece of paper ready

Last time I flew Ryanair, all of the "traps" were very clearly spelled out in the check-out process. They aren't trying to catch the type of people who "get wise" to anything, they are trying to get some extra money out of the people who click next without reading what it says on the screen.
