What I want to see is "Billionaire X now paying more tax than other billionaire Y" or "Billionaire X now raising minimum salary in his company by 50%".

And the bike's lower maintenance cost which most people should be able to do themselves. Love your ride so much you want to display it in the living room? Can't do that with a car :-D

I do like a good pen, blue ink, but I don't miss the fountain pens from my school years in Bavaria. But: What writing instrument you use should depend on the message and receiver.

Just a side-note: D20 are either random or snaking from 1 to 20 if the player uses them as a life counter.

What happened to "THIS IS THE POLICE, OPEN UP" along with banging the door? The only situation where I understand a no-knock warrant is like when the police is actually targeting someone's computer and don't want to go t

We now know that only a small percentage, maybe single-digit, of infected are responsible for super spreading events. The vast majority infect just one other person. Prof Drosten explained a simplified estimate for this: 1 infects another u

Yes that was my thinking when Italy locked down the first little towns and I'm still with that opinion. Not many viruses target specific groups of the population, but this one does and it was clear by end of February. For politicians i

Wearing masks outside when you are not close to someone from outside your bubble isn't necessary. The virus needs close human contacts for several minutes to spread successfully. On the outside you have wind and other positive factors.

I'm sure there's a city with train services connecting Dublin, CA (served by the BART) to Moscow, ID. The question might just be when...

It is, or did you read anything about a proper governmental transition from SYSTEM to City? All hush hush.

I use the same convention but whatever you do, be consistent even if you don't intend to push a branch to a remote.

Those numbers are impossible to compare because countries are one different points one the infections-per-capita scale which is not know to us because we can't test all the population all the time.

All of them will close, maybe not at the same time but it will happen.

Not going to the doctors (unless you are a person at risk like and elderly person) is the smart move anyways. Here in Austria the current reaction for a patient testing positive at a doctors office is to close it down for two weeks. The off

WWI started 10 months after the Spanish flu. Press censorship did also contribute to its spread.

So, should we even care if the actual rate is merely 50% above your regular flu? Is this 0.15% one winter/year or across several seasons?

Yet another achievement for pacifism :-) Seriously, in the olden days someone might have been put in jail for being a saboteur.

Put the valuable stuff into your trousers front pockets. I'm doing this for years, it works better than having anything in my back pockets. Though being 193cm tall might deter perps from trying something funny.

oh, and one more tip: Buckley, Kerouac, Sanders and Yablonsky discussing the so-called "Hippies".

Kerouac influenced me a lot when I was 18/19 yrs old, though Thoreau did push me even more on the path I chose. And that as a teen living in Bavaria! First I read from Kerouac was Book of Dreams, a bit ironic because I can never rememb

Re customer support: A company-wide four-day week doesn't mean that everyone has to work the same four days. Actually, there might be people who'd prefer their weekend to be Sunday to Tuesday for some obscure reason.
