Of course. Kartoffelsalat is a staple in most parts of Germany and especially popular with barbecues.

On a related note: German beans are different. You'll find canned kidney beans everywhere because combining them with sweet corn, bell peppers and onions with a seasoning overpowered by vinegar is a popular cheap side salad (often call

Yes, they can be substituted but they're definitely a staple in good German Hausmannskost . Maybe not so much in the South: Swabia subsists almost entirely on Spätzle noodles and Bavarians seem to prefer various kinds of Knödel . B

I think the "it was native and abundant so nobody used it because it didn't demonstrate wealth" explanation is far more plausible given that the same can be observed with many native plants and spices in other parts of Europe

The average Guardian reader never heard of that private company and definitely never heard of that much smaller private company. "Company in Japan" is also longer than simply "Japan". Plus there's still some latent

When most people say TOTP they refer to the RFC kind, not proprietary OTP token generators. So it's less of a "depending on the algorithm they may do this" thing and more "some proprietary solutions do this instead"

Good luck memorising a number of 30 second windows and hitting them exactly. That would require a level of organisation, timing and self-discipline I can not fathom.

It does, to a degree. With air-air heat pumps you get warm air and the air has to warm up the walls, furniture, ground and so on. Warmer air rises so in order to warm up the ground (or your feet) it has to displace/heat all of the cold

There's at least three types of heat pumps: - air-air heat pumps which function like "inverted" AC, which is what you were thinking of - another quirk being that in some models the air vents have optional electric heating whi

I use WinCompose, which is a Windows implementation of an XCompose style compose key. It comes with a number of composition sequences but you can also add your own. I have mapped it to the "menu" key which I never use so "ñ&q

Looks like the real-world risks of AI are, predictably, AI being used to avoid responsibility/liability/regulation or plainly copyright-laundering (which likewise predictably is only a temporary loophole until laws catch up) and c

The problem starts with talking about "AGI" and LLMs/GenAI in the same breath. LLMs are not and can not be AGI. They are impressive, but they are glorified autocomplete. When ChatGPT lets you "correct" it, it doesn&

I'm not sure what you're talking about. If you're talking about Palestine, you should try to judge an argument by its content rather than by whether it uses words that offend you. Your time is better spent addressing other pe

It's semi-privatized in effect. It's run as a profit-oriented business while at the same time being publicly controlled and funded. It's the worst of both worlds in that sense. In fact, in addition to DB there's DB Regio

I mean, yeah, still, they're probably spending more time near explosions and gun shots in aggregate even if most of the missions are spent idling.

Based on psychological research we know that early childhood trauma can help develop sociopathy. It's easy to see the effect of perpetual violence in terrorist hotspots like Palestine where children grow up to become terrorists because

Fewer accounts maybe but life used to be a lot shorter and more violent back then, more like in poor and unstable countries today. For long periods of history many children wouldn't grow to become adults and adult men would frequently

That is correct and that is also crucially why all these consent modals that have a second toggle for "legitimate interest" from partners are also blatantly non-compliant: you can only use ONE legal basis for processing and if con

GDPR allows retaining any information necessary for complying with legal requirements (e.g. taxes). But that exception is to be interpreted as narrowly as possible.

Figma's valuation is a fragment of that of Adobe. Saying most designers use Figma is as distorted as saying most designers use macOS, even if both things may be true in a specific niche (e.g. tech companies in the US). In my experience

If you remove those who are too young to be in employment (i.e. children and minors) and those who are beyond retirement age and those who are too ill or disabled to work, the lion's share of the social security system exists to subsid
