If someone would say this about COVID, they would be downvoted into oblivion for spreading unfounded conspiracy theories. It's already 6 countries in the EU that reported issues until now.

So you are saying that no one would die in Germany if the vaccine would not be temporarily suspended? That's a bit simplistic. Not to mention that we go so far as to consider that every life is precious and we need to fight for every s

Officially there is no Wintertime, that's the real time. Summertime is the anomaly here and it drives me crazy that people want to stick to that forever.

Exchange also does this, if you are part of a group, send an email to that group, you will never get it. We ran into it when one of our systems were sending an alert for a failed action to a group, but it was sending it on behalf of the per

I think you are having a very idealised vision of society and families. You would be surprised to see what lies beneath all those "functional" families of the past. To my experience, having an active sex life (not talking here abo

I think it is, up until politics and managers come into play. If you leave to the team level, and you have some good senior people in a team that can also help and guide junior developers, you can do great. In the end it depends on the peop

You can't just go out there and delete history, no matter how bad it was, because you know what happens when you do that? You will end up repeating the past mistakes. The book shows how society was back then, you can't just all of

Leaving that company was one of the best things that happened to me. It also thought me that when a company, especially a big one, blames a low level employee for a big mistake or some visible incident, there is something very wrong there.

This is happening everywhere. It took me around 2 hours to sign up my parents for the vaccine (in an EU country) on a website that was impossible to figure out. Add details here, then you have a list of details, but those are not the actual

Because Tesla is not about panel gaps, they're about electric cars. I don't like some of their auto-pilot marketing and the cult status of Musk and the brand, but say what you want, they are so far ahead any other brand when it co

It's actually sad how this whole thing has progressed. Just look at this thread, anything that goes even in the slightest against the current is downvoted into oblivion. It's so disappointing, you can't say anything any more.

In Germany that doesn’t add up. We’ve been in lockdown, the incidence in people under 79 is almost constant since Oct, or even going down. Incidence for 79+ is almost double and rising. We can’t just blame young people all the time, it’s no
