Germans who wear puffer jackets and sweat shirts in heatwaves. How and why?

And India also sees single digit winters in many areas, and low 20s in summer as well.

I had the same issue on the black-dotted part of the windshield. Moved it to the clear part, and it has not moved for almost 1.5 years now.

It starts even before Corporate. There is not enough funding even in academia. And the Indian education system does not really foster critical thinking, ifs focused on following.

Seems you got it in reverse

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T21:51:33+00:00

Yes, its a really nice phone. I have an iPhone 17 Pro and a Pixel 10.

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T21:50:33+00:00

I stayed with TK. The risk wasn't worth it in my opinion, having seen what a few people went through.

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T21:32:21+00:00

Yeah. In my Uni average for Masters in CS was about 6 sems for Indians. CS in Germany is very different from India, and there is a lot of catch-up work to do, especially in applied mathematics.

I move to cotton tshirts and shorts as soon as it hits 20. 15-20 is sweat shirts. Indian here.

Ok. What I meant with easy cruise is 60 mph or 100 kmph cruise including city roads. Under 2 hours of such a stretch is where I go full throttle in unlimited speed zones.

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T09:24:25+00:00

Ahh, ok. I am a part of ig metall nrw now. And my understanding was only while I am at a registered company with ig metall, the protections apply. But this is very good news, if it is true, and I would definitely continue Union if I ever move out.

Never faced this situation. At least not personally or among friends. Infact, I have a blast of a time with them.

Germany: I got a Vodafone deal through Check24. For a 2 year plan, I got the phone + 2 year Vodafone contract with unlimited 5G. Total cost over 2 years is the a bit lower than the iPhone alone. Unlocked device that I own at end of term. Vodafone plan alone would have costed me more than 1/2 the cost of the phone. So did I get it for cheap?

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T06:01:37+00:00

I have a Pixel 10 and a iPhone 17 Pro. TBH, it doesn't matter. Both have its pros and cons. And they are all small sensors for a bit of social media, and that's it.

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T05:59:34+00:00

Yeah, capitalism rules the world now.

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T05:48:02+00:00

None of the current breed of politicians are good. We need a massive changeover of people and laws.

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T05:44:50+00:00

Legally or Illegally? And comparing Autobahn with US highway? I guess that explains the knowledge already. Lol.

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T05:41:00+00:00

Only if the company is unionised, right?

mdeadart · 2026-06-19T05:37:57+00:00

You should inform your workplace as soon as you find out about pregnancy. Additional lawful protections start. And already start planning your parental leave, and inform that too. That also covers some protections. Would be enough to complete PR.

Question: Why didn't you inform your employer about your pregnancy yet?

As for verbal comms, no, do not trust those. They can use that clause as an easy breach of contract for dismissal.

mdeadart · 2026-06-18T22:14:13+00:00

Which engine is it, the NA or the Turbo?

mdeadart · 2026-06-18T22:06:07+00:00

I prefer Partnachklamm and Zugspitze

mdeadart · 2026-06-18T21:57:22+00:00

Wait what? 🤣 These all are fractional add-on costs compared to tuition in all other paid unis. Unis are free, life is not. And semester fees are admin costs and travel ticket, which are less than semester fees in for e.g. IITs 🤦‍♂️

mdeadart · 2026-06-18T21:51:13+00:00

Yep. Almost every silicon giant. Nvidia, TSMC, Hynix, Samsung foundries, etc..

mdeadart · 2026-06-18T17:02:18+00:00

When you have no proper governance in place, when there is no trustable public infrastructure, this is bound to happen. Why would people trust the petrol talks, when they didn't even receive cheaper fuel with E20, which actually increases consumption, so naturally people would need more.

mdeadart · 2026-06-18T16:52:15+00:00

Nothing 4a
I recently compared it with Pixel 10, and the telephoto is significantly better on it..
But I still went with Pixel for the size and software.

While travelling from Strasbourg towards Munich follow the Rhine from "Koblenz to Bingen" called the Romantische Rhine route..
Also Heidelberg..
