That's... illuminating. Really. It's a sad take, but could completely be true. It's not "I am a engineer, thus I deserve to have more", it's "I deserve more, what part of my life can I use to say this?&quo

And this is why I say that I understand the economics behind it. Still, it doesn't mean I _deserve_ a high salary: I totally get why I get it, but I don't work harder, or studied harder, or really did anything more special than 95

> (work for almost 2 decades as an engineer just so you can afford the average one family home - what a joke!) I really don't understand this take. Why so many engineers feel entitled to have more than the average working Joe? If yo

You are right, but this is the internet, and the official website for the city is https://www.muenchen.de/ , so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Personally, I don't. I live in Muenchen, not München. When strictly needed, CTRL+C/CTRL+V from a Google search makes the trick. When writing email/docs, autocorrector for the win. Same thing in Italian: `e instead of è. Altho

True, but then you can build an action plan. And, OP says > I have more than a couple years worth of savings. They are definitely not a step or two away from the worst case

To shake this kind of feeling, I like to "calculate" how things should go wrong for the worst case scenario to realize: if there aren't enough steps, I know what to work on, but usually it really makes me realize that I'

Yap, and that has been refuted: > No, in Sudoku, the constraint of a "unique solution" is that a valid puzzle (i.e. an incomplete grid) must only have one correct way of being filled in without violating the rules. My answer is

by rpadovani 4y ago
Why? If I have a complete grid, I can remove the top left number, and that's a puzzle. Or, I can remove the bottom right number, and that's another puzzle. So, one unique grid can be the solution to multiple puzzles.

Ahhhhhh I hate this, it happens so many time when you're using a translated software: they proper translate the label, but do not order stuff again. In German, Germany is Deutschland but still comes after France
