I absolutely second your sentiment - 100%. Of course, this is not going to resonate well in a forum where the majority is invested one way or another in startups producing what I would also refer to as bullshit. Defining the term bullshit i

it is also worth noting that the experience of being "responsible" for a company being destroyed could cause suicidal risks for the respective person. I once accidentally didn't close the door to the office with a key - the d

As somebody with full IT administration access I am just too aware of how easy it is to entirely destroy an entire company with a single inadvertent command. And the risk of this happening increases swiftly with stress levels and work pilin

Most professionals in the field of medicine were educated towards an elitist and dogmatic mindset. When I talk with a physician about the human body I always get the impression they really believe the body works as described in the books -

This is very interesting for martial arts practitioners. It's highly plausible that this waste system is the missing link between Parkinson and Alzheimer and concussions due to head strikes. I'd assume that a strike to the head wi

The louder you laugh and the brighter you smile the more you seem like you really are very successful and very happy. This is what the US smile tries to communicate. It's super annoying to more humble and low key societies - but almost

Those "smiles" also don't seem to come from heart or being based on a philosophy of attempting to see the good in the world or empathizing socially. The stereotypical American smile is the smile of a salesman. It conveys this

Wearing my Bose QC25 and still hearing my colleagues talking - I would really like to have ANC that filters out speech.

if you buy water and turn it into coca cola then you have to put a margin on the price for the energy and resources needed to produce cola! isn't that obvious? what you don't get is that you have to distinguish between two prices:

washing a water container every day? using a water container with water is using and cleaning at the same time. and lifestyle is no excuse for living lavishly and inconsiderate or wasting resources.

There is a direct connection from Michigan to Africa - its name is Nestlé.

by blubb-fish 9y ago
Nestlé is a global corporation. So you have to look at it from a global perspective instead of narrowing down your focus on some random city in the US. It's an attack at humanity not just on Michigans.

Water is bottled in Africa! But before it is bottled it is turned into Coca Cola. In a lot of African areas Coca Cola is cheaper than clean water! Just think about the health impact. Nestlé buys water then turns it into something trademarke

I didn't say that this particular behavior is unjustified - of course handicapped water supply will make people come up with alternative supply solutions which will discourage implementing a reasonable water supply - a vicious circle.

It's fun to think about but I don't think it makes sense b/c sleep obviously serves (at least for human beings) the awake state.

Not growing also means not compensating inflation and rising prices. So basically wages are shrinking if corrected for those.

> Water should have a cost when it is scarce Practically it has a cost anyway - somebody has to pay for taking it from somewhere, storing it, cleaning it, making it available. But this cost and especially the cost of the final consumer c

Actually the less money you have the harder it is to find a reasonably priced flat.

just joking. nonetheless my question was serious. I wouldn't like to pay more than €500 on a smartphone. And ...,iP6 < €500 < iP7,... Actually I am a happy Android user. But I don't like too much of my data in one basket. Wh

Same here - but I would like more info on the subject to allow for a qualified decision. iPhones are very expensive. Isn't basically all your data, everything you type being sent to Apple?

by blubb-fish 9y ago
could be - but the question is so stupid - not worthy to actually reply. In the light of such pretentious behaviour I have no idea why apple users have a reputation of being pragmatic and down2earth. </irony>

It seems that cheffing is a lot about acting "rebellious" (food rebel revolutionizing how apples are served) and creating big theatre and drama.

It is incredible how complex water is. Chemically it is a super-simple molecule. For me this is a reminder that in nature even the most simple-seeming "things" will turn out to be unbelievably complex if researched or observed mor
