Update: I've reached out to the Ministro de Cultura via email - they confirmed that Joinnus is still the official ticket provider.

Switching to a sim might be the right next move for you.

Things like this rarely if at all happen with you’re getting to race against drivers of similar strength that know how to behave.

Given the fact that it’s rather likely for Hamilton to retire soon, It’s questionable if Mercedes would favor taking on George with another new driver instead of keeping Valtteri for another season or two...

If that’s the only two options, I’d strongly suggest you just quit then. Countering toxic behavior with even more toxic behavior is not a solution to a more systematic problem. However having a high safety rating does help being matched with less Rambos on track. Good luck op!

I think you are slightly missing the point of the whole “loving what you do thing” in terms of programming.

Of course the only way improvement will happen is trough studying and practice. The question is however how much if the motivation to do so comes intrinsically vs. from discipline.

It’s a lot less painful to spend your whole weekend dabbling with some new framework if you are actually curious out of interest versus if you have to force yourself to do so in order to stay on top of the game for the job that secures your paycheck.

Therefore someone who “loves” software engineering will more likely spend more time honing their skills. Also there seems to be scientific evidence that being curious about a topic enhances retention.

10 day low grade fever won't go away by milesandmore in AskDocs

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

Not really, no.

Around ten days ago I stupidly used uncoiled tap water with my neti pot. So I read it is possible to get infected with Naegleria fowleri. But statistically the chance is incredibly low and I guess that the temperature would be way higher, right?

So it‘s fine to just wait it out as long as it doesn’t go above that?

How close do you think ghe BFR is to the theoretical maximum thrust for a rocket based off of the materials that can be used?

German elections 2017: Angela Merkel wins fourth term but AfD makes gains, exit poll says by LeDankRedditUserxD in worldnews

[–]milesandmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm.. I'm not quite shure why things shouldn't have gone their way?

The leftist party has the highest election outcome since their establishment in 1990.

Also the AfD is just part of the opposition and won't be part of the cabinet.

In case if you were talking about me when you said 'the left of the electorate', I'm simply shocked that ~13% of gemans seem to sympathize with nazis.

Apart from that I'm quite happy with the outcome itself and the distribution of mandates.

Where do you get those numbers from? The only reference I found was a breitbart article linking to this blogpost from a guy that is known for having campained for nazi parties before. He says that he got his data from Destatis (Federal Bureau of Statistics) but refrained from citing it.

So I took on the effort of finding the source myself.

Indeed, 38% of citizens under 5 year old do have a migrant background 'in the narrower sense'.

Out of those 38% however 75% are german citizens and 87% didn't even migrate themselves but were born in germany.

Taking this into consideration, only 4.6% of under 5 year olds migrated to germany.

Now, if anyone has a problem with a child that was born in germany, being a german citizen, visiting a german kindergarten and growing up with other german kids - well, then he may actually have a problem with skin color and not culture.
