Someone once told me that facts are political, that maybe we shouldn't evaluate all facts based on what's true but whether believing in them or not will create a better society and world to live in. In many cases this will overlap

If they could afford that they probably wouldn't be there in the first place.

Yes, that makes sense. It's good to have guests over, they help a lot with this.

Mhm, I figured. My travelling is usually more like the hanging-out-somewhere kind. If you have a return ticket to a place, your visa and safety information (eg what not do to in order not to die) in place (and are not trying to go someplace

Mhm, here, when you take part in an experiment than involves an MRI (especially of the head), there is a checkbox on the form that asks whether you want to informed about any funny things in the images at all just in case.

Also immigrating from another EU country just means to move there and register with the local authorities. Also works for Iceland and Norway, but there you have to get a job within 3? months to be allowed to stay. Although we're curren

What does 'know' even mean in this context?

That does not work too well in peak season, I found, and have to remember to keep in mind.

Mhm, we really have to work on sustainable air travel. Transport in general, actually.

Was that a guided backpacking tour? Why would you get up at 6am (unless you like that)? Wait, how much planning beforehand went into that if you changed location that fast? I have so many questions.

On the other hand, other Asian countries are throwing tons of money at the problem. It's not that easy though because you need to take the chemistry into account. Some pollutants react distructively with others, so if you reduce those

In some rural parts of Germany that are losing population that is actually not helpful at all. The sewer system is built for a certain amount of water and if less than that is used the utility company has to flush it with - more water. So i

The existence of regenerative breaking means that the amount of pollution from the little friction breaking still necessary should be much less.

I think it also helps a lot to move around all day (as one does while camping). I feel so much better.

In Germany there is also a strong network to help: https://www.syndikat.org/en/ In the end you only own half of it for as long as you live in it, but anyone can walk away and be replaced without problems.

No, the point is that in physics you isolate systems and get rid of all the messy stuff. Compare particle physics to cell biology, for example. Of course the first has complicated math and a lot of ressources thrown at it, but in essence th

The issue are probably blocking the toilet and making a mess. I wonder though, should there then not be public sinks for this kind of thing somewhere else?

by kaybe 8y ago
If you want to pee for free at a German Autobahn stop at one of the rest areas without a gas station or shop. They still feature the usual public toilets with all that this entails.

Now I'm thinking about this kind of scheme out in the real world. Some random points: It's not like it's not there. Sometimes ad letters contain things. I've been given a kitchen knife for listening to a knife demonstrat

I don't think this is what the GP post meant. All this is necessary, but as a programmer you can act as a multiplier and do more. (edit: as also the article discusses, at some points a bit vaguely. It also has some more/different

No matter what we do, Earth will stay the most hospitable planet by far for us. Ten degrees more, ten degrees less.. still a walk in the park compared to all other places.

I was shocked when I got a Thai massage there some years back and the woman asked me where I was from. 'Germany.' 'And you speak ENGLISH?!?!' That was very telling about the kind of people they usually get I think.
