Sadly a mobile game so it’s not really worth your time as it has in app purchases.

But what could be worth your time is Devotion, a Taiwanese horror game which is not available on any store front (but their own) after an easter egg criticial of Xi Jinping was found.

Whoops. Completely missed that line.

Premature babies cannot be vaccinated against measles though. And you usually cannot determine who infected the baby.

Edit: If you don’t skim the article you can read the mother infected the baby.

Keep in mind in Germany this only applies to children making 100,000€ per year or more with impoverished parents provided the parents did not abuse the children. If you can prove you were abused and it would be an undue hardship to provide support then you can be exempted.

Have you ever used the GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Program ToolKit America Online Instant Messenger?

Fair, “positive aspect” would’ve been significantly better wording. There’s nothing Trump can do to redeem himself unless he does an inverse John Fetterman.

Please.

The sole redeeming factor about Trump is being extremely unpredictable. He is a quintessentially ignorant American in that way. No one can reliably control him, he will flip-flop between diametrically opposed positions at will.

Hopefully chaos impersonated will turn on Putin for a while. Hell, if Trump continues to ignore legal precedent he may be able to harm Russia more than Biden ever did.

>99% of art does not make any money though. You don’t need to pay people to create art. You only need to pay them to create art faster. That’s how nearly all artists make money today: Comissions. Copyright only really benefits the most popular 0.1% of artists.

It’s not that much:

According to https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 it’s less than 10% of China’s total emissions, meaning 90% of their emission comes from internal consumption. This is pretty bad considering China’s emissions per capita are worse than the UK adjusted for imports and exports.

Prizes are income, otherwise companiea would hold a raffle each month to determine your salary.

I mean German fairy tales try to maximize Schadenfreude. Bad things happen to bad people - which is fun. Sure, the “bad things” are horrific but children don’t mind that usually.

I definitely remember reading a bunch of gruesome children stories as a child (and they were great)! Struwwelpeter and Max und Moritz are two funny children books with a couple of deaths.

There is no stable base for renewables.

At noon in summer, renewables can produce >100% of energy consumption. The nuclear reactors would need to be shut off and turned back on a couple hours later, for the months from June to September.

But nuclear cannot reactivate quick enough as solar production is winding down in the evening, nor can it shut down quick enough in the morning.

It’s much, much cheaper to massively increase battery storage in order to store excess energy produced by renewables.

In winter as of right now, there is not enough energy from renewables but this is hopefully subject to change over the next decade or so. If energy costs are high enough at night, companies will start building private battery storage to fill them during winter days. That way a large part of energy consumption can adapt to production.

In case of energy droughts, gas power plants can be kept because they can turn on and shut down within minutes, making them the best at providing a varying base load.

wenn er die fehlende Fähigkeit des Jugendlichen zur sexuellen Selbstbestimmung ausnutzt

This paragraph is the important one. A court must first rule the teenager was not mature enough to bang an adult. Courts have ruled sexual inexperience alone is not sufficient to convict someone. The inability of a 14 year old to consent must be proven in order to convict an adult for banging a 14 year old.

Nope, not in Germany. A 110 year old can legally bang a 14 year old, as long as they don’t have a position of authority over the teen.

How does that even make sense?

Wouldn’t you lower the sentence if the victim AI says it forgives the killer? Because - you know - it significantly reduces the “revenge” angle the American justice system is based on?

I’d prefer not going to university and rather spend all my time having fun. But as an adult, I can more easily rationalize why I should spend my time doing the former. Children do not yet have this ability - I certainly didn’t and would probably not have attended school much if my parents didn’t care. Phones were banned at my school and definitely forced me to pay attention as learning is usually significantly more entertaining/rewarding than fruitlessly trying to distract yourself by staring at the clock.

You wouldn’t have a notebook. Any and all stimuli would be banned as the purpose is making your experience horrible.

Also, you get incredibly mundane tasks as well. Maybe you’ll get a couple sheets of random symbols and are tasked to count a certain letter. And if you don’t do this task you can be laid off for underperforming.

Fully agree. Just wanted to provide an argument why having commercial truck drivers have some English proficiency could be beneficial for safety. Requiring a 3 month English course for those unfamiliar with the language as part of getting a CDL would do the trick. But that wouldn’t hand money to private prisons, would it?

But the inconsistency is the problem.

Take a look at the top signs about driving on the shoulder. Who is to say there aren’t twenty more variations?

Maybe a couple of

“Driving on shoulder mandatory”

“Trucks on shoulder only”

“Passing on shoulder permitted”

“$100 fine for driving on shoulder”

“Keep shoulder clear”

“No trucks allowed on shoulder”

There doesn’t seem to be any standard. It’s just text.
