Some potatoes are simply too hot.

The impact on nature goes beyond climate gases. At least here in Germany fireworks produce 1% of the yearly pm10 particulates. That’s not nothing.

Yes, the problem to me is manly the feeling (or fact) that we are running into an existential crisis that can and probably will decimate large amounts of the global population and instead of pulling together, people are running into the arms of demagogues and extremists that tell them we are great it’s the others that are bad and we don’t have to change anything about our way of life. Plus every other nation claims little islands or other countries areas… we won’t get anywhere if this won’t change

I doubt that, I would think it’s like xenophobia it’s usually the strongest in pretty homogenous areas.

The only movie I ever walked out was Brother Bear. Maybe I was already to old (26ish) but that was too cringy and kitschy for me.

Our son had a pseudo-croup attack, when he was about two. We have a number here in my country that you can call and they try to figure out your next steps. Since he was so young they pretty quickly told us to call an ambulance. Two paramedics came fairly quick and ordered an emergency doctor to the scene since they wanted to give him some medication they couldn’t give him on their own.

We were a little apologetic because we weren’t sure if calling them was warranted. But they were super nice and said we shouldn’t worry, it was their job and they’d rather drive to cases like this, were things go well then the other way round.

We gave them our insurance card, they left, and everything was fine.

Never in the whole process have I thought, oh my, I hope this isn’t going to cost too much. That is an awful thought. Our medical system here is far from perfect and I fear it’s going to get worse but it gives me a piece of mind that I don’t have to worry to go broke over it.

And the way families are insured really works well. You work and all your children and your partner (if they don’t work) are insured through you. No changes in payment, no questions (apart from: are they earning any money) asked.

Let me guess: his wife caught him watching gay porn and since he is a good Christian he wants to save others from falling into the same trap? And now his wife is really proud of him?

Because a lot of them think they are somehow superior to others because they know who their ancestors were for the last 30 generations.

No, we need a rescue fund right now! It can’t be true that the elite has to suffer under the tyranny of the working class!

I’d rather have more play roads as they are called here in Germany, in all the areas people live and the roads are tight, with a walking speed limit.

Those are some wild statements you make. Yes I have a problem with the penalty bc I think it’s wrong, simple as that. But I live in a country where punishment is fundamentally based on the idea of rehabilitation. And that often even applies for murderers. So I think that’s part of why I’m so opposed to the death penalty.

I doubt we can convince each other from our standpoints. So all I can say is have a great day.

That’s what they say, even keeping him locked up for life would be cheaper. Also how do you decide what’s gruesome enough to justify killing people, what about wrongfully convicted people they do exist and they got murdered. There are so many good arguments against and do few if any for the death penalty it’s mind-blowing to me how any more or less democratic society doesn’t abolish it.

Probably just the beeple ones? Or are they all worthless as well?

After that Ms master key disaster, that’s a bold strategy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see a NASA project in the 1960s, goggles ai project and a Russian movie?? ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Maybe Teslas will come with disguise kits, where you can switch the Tesla logo with a different brand. Just like Twitter created the option to hide the Twitter blue checkmark…
