it's pretty typical in Germany that kids of all (school) ages bike to and from school, basically every day of the year. I did.

it's similar with governments actually: All the talk about human rights, social justice etc. are usually way less important to the government than the GDP and hence capitalism/profits. BUT, this is not only good for the top x% but

I mostly see 2 talking points in these comments: (1) I, personally, cannot do much. (2) If it were really so bad, people would already do something. I expect more quality comments in the next hours so I won't go too much into detail b

the headline is garbled. A vast majority does think it's getting worse (76%), but only 56% considers leaving within 5 years.

But also regarding Germany: the market for supermarkets is very crowded (Aldi, Lidl, Edeka etc.) where there is a lot of price pressure between supermarkets. So the companies don't profit as much as they could in markets with less comp

the difference is that facebook is even bad for its users (and disliked by its users). Google is alright for its users (as is, or maybe was, Amazon). I'm talking about perception of course, not reality.

I can tell you that you are not alone :) However, most of newer in-ear headphones are like plugs nowadays (don't listen to the bose suggestion in sibling comment). What you're looking for are in-ears that Geizhals[1] calls earbuds

yes, pen too thin. Heat shrink tube or similar could work... thanks.

I have the RM2 and struggle with how thin the pen is. I tried some "pen holders" (that are usually for kids pencils) but none I found fit really well. Anyone has any other ideas how to make the pen thicker? (I really want to conti

it's basically the perfect moment to change the economic model from looking only at GDP to looking at GDP + CO2 + resilience. A little (actually, a lot!) more planned economy is needed than what we have.

People die needlessly because they aren't treated in hospitals because the hospitals are too full with people with covid. The ends justify the means. Vaccination mandates are nothing new and covid justifies it so that life can go on ag

"vaccine acceptance is unlikely to significantly increase among Republicans until their trusted media or other information sources emphasize the benefits of vaccination." They are killing their own voters.

wait a minute. Even if the baseline in the population for anxiety would be high or similar to those 15%, this would mean that Americans are even more miserable than the article suggests! Anyway, long covid is here to stay. In the US they

I mean we've seen these type of studies/results before so at first I thought this is not surprising. However, they say they let both groups (those who use brain training games and those who don't) basically play brain trainin

Said it better than I could've. It's true for the German Amazon, too. Too many product ads also.

wow, this site is great. Thank you. Bookmarked! (simpsons season 2-9 really was the best, but until season 15 it was still "ok i guess")

the most gross aspect is that the majority of people want change (at least according to polls), however this is apparently not enough since "wanting" is not enough (and politicans don't survive measures that throttle the econ

yes, I love mine too. However, after a very dark december mine stopped (and I was very confused by it ;)). Had to put it on the window sill for a few days for it to work again. My personal advice for anyone looking would be the following tr

this article reminds me of the soccer players who fake injuries just so the clock runs out while ahead (although extra time is added, usually not enough). This is very apparent when looking at Spain or Italy, not so much (in) other countrie

Communism would've been the better choice for the world, not for the people of the 20th century themselves but for the following generations. We are destroying the world with our consumerism (capitalism) and we just can't stop alt

Excel really is the/my last hold-out for Windows. Excel for web is not adequate. Maybe it's better that way for MS/windows, otherwise there are no reasons to stay with windows except it being a habit. For my private use I&#x2

I'd like to think that by "jumping in" they mean that they change what kind of content the algorithms shows their users... however, I'd guess that no such self-regulation could ever suffice (esp. because it would always

thanks for picking up my slack. Another CDC study/poll is shows even worse data than I imagined[1]: e.g. ~8% of high schoolers try to kill themselves every year (I know, sounds unbelievable. Please, everyone, check yourself and correct

there was this absolutely devastating graphic about rising suicide rates of teen girls which coincided with mobiles and especially instagram. Sorry can't find it right now.

this is so eye-opening. One can only imagine how many people are addicted to those games and its casino-like mechanics.
