In germany, the right to strike is in the constitution (GG, Art 9, (3) https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/gg/art_9.html ) and still, while a collective bargaining agreement is in place, strikes that aim at changing any

You don’t need to rely on the government in all places. Cycle registration is available, but not mandatory in germany. The ADFC (German cycling club) offers it and they basically engrave a combination of initials, birthday and city into the

It‘s a fundamental part of any Tarifvertrag (collective bargaining contract) in Germany - as long as the contract is in force, strikes that aim to change the contract are illegal. The legal term is Friedenspflicht https://de.wiki

The numbers cited here included electricity for warm water and heating. Both are outrageously energy-intensive. The figured for electric appliances only are roughly in line with yours.

The rebuttal is not aimed at „everyone can learn“, but at „you can look up things that you required to memorize two decades ago.“ I can look up any important constant to hundreds of decimal points, find explanations for almost all publicly

I don‘t believe their goal is that a court would rule in their favor, though it would certainly be a great outcome for them. I believe that getting the governments lawyer to make up all sorts of justifications is what they’re aiming for, be

What do you consider „effective“? This will not change the law. It‘s about raising attention to a stupid law and that happens all of the time. Pastafaris, Birds aren’t real, … are doing the same thing. They confront stupid ideas by exposing

I’m really reluctant to have a subscription for items where you can’t exactly predict the usage - it’s either too little or accumulates. Having the option to skip deliveries is a must.

The problem is very often not a law, but space constraints. Often the city grew around the commercial area and there’s just no space to grow. And even if space is available, it may be costly. So there’s essentially two options: stop growing

The bakery in my parents town is famous enough for their bread that some people drive 50kms to buy that bread. No delivery service will come close to that, no way. Though I generally agree with that: the need for individual cars will become

No, I’m not. The stores are economically viable unless you have a car centric culture. Car centric culture makes walkable mid-density neighborhoods unviable.

That’s just wrong. The village I come from in germany has 8000 inhabitants, pretty much only single/double houses, practically no flats and perfectly walkable. Multiple bakeries and grocery stores, never further than 15 minutes walk. I

I have implemented order forms that would send an email to a printer located in the warehouse. The customer said they had a very well refined process from the days when fax was dominant and no good reason to change. That was a decade or two

Though at the mass ratios of car vs pedestrian/cyclists, the difference on the car side makes no significant effect. It doesn‘t really matter if the ratio is 1:10 in favor of the car or 1:20. The acceleration that the car will feel is

It’s worth noting that the two-wheeler demonstrated in this video is an old-style one with wheels just attached at the box. The Butchers and Bicycles one linked by the grandparent post is one with an actual steering at the front - the box a

I’d say so-so. Depends on the use-case. Two wheeled are definitely easier to ride with a faster pace, but they’re much harder to balance when heavily loaded. I have tipped over with heavy loads on emergency stops. Two wheeled also wins when

Most people need cars may be true now, but it's not a law of nature. These things affect each other. The village I was raised has about 8000 inhabitants. That sounds like sparsely populated and indeed, it has no good public transport c

Cargo bikes easily reach 6k. No problem. And those are the ones that often make sense if a family wants to trade in a car.

"You can no longer buy a ticket on the bus" is different to "you have to use the app" You can't buy a ticket on a Subway, S-Bahn or regional train in Berlin - it's been like that for decades. You have to use a

You claim was that the GG imposes immigration on the unwilling german citizenship. That's just plain wrong. Are there applicants for asylum that try to apply despite not being covered? Probably. Is that in the GG? No.

_these rights may only be interfered with on the basis of a law_. There is a law that covers it, just as there is a law that covers all the restrictions to freedom when you commit a crime. Killing in self defense is not a violation of the c

The claim is wild because the german constitution does not encourage immigration. It contains paragraphs that prohibit discrimination. It guarantees asylum for people that are prosecuted in their home country for political views [1]. There&

> All the recent war involvements of Germany are inherently against the German constitution You'll have to back that up a little. Which wars? Which involvement is considered unconstitutional? Because a lot of those have been tested

It also seems to be wrong, since the ZVV website explicitly mentions the app, the online ticket store and vending machines. [1] What seems to have happened though is that during the pandemic, the bus and tram personell that used to sell tic

You can also set up a mailbox at any address and receive actual letters there, no registration required. Needs permission of the owner of the place, but that’s similar with email. There are many states around the world where you can buy a p

Gas is needed for fertilizer production because it's one of the input resources - Haber-Bosch capture of ammonia (nitrogen) requires a source of hydrogen and that's usually natural gas since it's rich in hydrogen. As such, lu

If you block people on twitter, they cannot interact with your tweets anymore and that effectively makes it impossible to call them out to other people reading those tweets. It reduces reach for those who are blocked.

But that's the same if you have multiple billing contacts. What is required is that the responsibility in the group of people that receive those notifications is clear. Having multiple people that receive billing notifications is stric
