I also loved Playmobil. But they were so much better in the 80s, early 90s, when all the figures were exactly the same, except by the colors, so it meant they were all flexible to be dressed up as anything you wanted. Nowadays each playmobi

For me it made the text way more difficult to read. Periods and commas can be sometimes difficult to differentiate for people with poor sight or just on small screens, so having a capital letter next to the dot character is a very relevant

Don’t stay there: EVs are even reporting consumption in terms of kWh/100km or kWh/100miles instead of just average kW.

With the difference that with an EV you always leave home with a full battery and you never have to step into a gas station unless you have a long trip ahead. But even when you, the amount of time is not 60minutes. If you have kids, the tim

I don’t care if German prices for electricity are below inflation. They’re just still expensive. As an EV owner is difficult to find an electricity provider with costs below 0,25€/kWh, and most of them go beyond 0,30€. While I had pric

Sometimes. But the vast proportion live in China. Like 9000 vs 1.4 Billion.

I wonder what would be the proportion of answers between different society economic levels. What we know so far though is that many of the traditional values were bound to the old society structures, based on the traditional family. The adv

That’s not a good summary of capitalism at all because you omit the part where interests of sellers and buyers align. Which is precisely what has made capitalism successful. Profit growth is based primarily on offering the product that best

You can get paid for that. You just need to negotiate it with your employer. It’s not easy, specially if they have other candidates.

This is the situation. And knowing how inefficient the German administration is, this would en up costing more in taxes and slower processes.

Ok, then I misinterpreted you. However it’s still unclear how much you’re paying, as the problem with socialized services like healthcare is that you never know exactly how much you’re paying and if you’re overpaying or underpaying as there

Actually the solution is to go full private. Costs when you get older skyrocket, but not your monthly contribution. You subsidize your own elderly costs by paying slightly more during your younger years. That slightly more is part of the in

I am not mistaken. I know how to read my own payslip. Both me and my wife are employed. We have GKV both and we’re basically paying the maximum rate. That’s around €1100/month each, pre-tax. Half of it comes from my official bruto sala

Free at point of delivery does not mean free at all. Netflix is also free when delivering you movies, but it costs a monthly fee. I think it’s time that we all stop with the nonsense that government funded healthcare is free. Because who en

I have lived in 3 countries with socialized health care system and the public systems were just average to poor, and costing me a lot. In Germany if you’re mid to high earner, a private insurance can cost you less than half than the public

Before 1985 healthcare costs were very low, and population was way younger.

That’s absolutely not an exception. I’m in Germany, and for a family of four, the public healthcare system, covering my wife and my two kids costs us around 2,200€ per month. The company pays half. A switch to a private insurance would lowe

Music is not the only aspect. Even more important is the vibe.

Coziness was something I did not experience as my conscious losses were always triggered by highly stressful situations (pain, fear). For me it was extremely overwhelming, as if my brain was on overdrive.

Part of it has to do with the memories, which gradually gets overtaken by the voices of my wife, doctor or whomever was trying to wake me up. As an example, I think I was around 16 years old and I was very much into sport cycling and Tour d

I have lost consciousness several times in my life. Not a pleasurable experience specially as last time I did it because of such extreme pain that I thought I was passing away. However I have had always recollection of those seconds or minu

Basque is not controversial, but spoken just by very little people.

Basque is an official language and declared as such in the Spanish constitution however restricted only to the regions that decide to apply it (Basque Country and Navarra).

Not only on the language but also in gastronomy and architecture. When I see old towns in UK I usually think about Dutch towns but just without any biking infrastructure.

The same can be said in the relationship of the company towards the employee. Any employee can leave any moment they want and all the investments the company has done on them will be lost.

Numbers do not support that. Jobs might be shrinking within Amazon, but globally the situation is the opposite. Population is still growing, 25% the last 20 years (trend that is slowly reversing), and unemployment rates are the lowest at gl

Killed semantics includes intentionality (and lack of), while dying by accident clearly removes any intentionality whatsoever. So it's much more faithful to truth to talk about accidents than by killing, even if both terms are semantic

I have the same experience. I have felt it specially when moving to a new iPhone with 90 or 120Hz screen refresh frequency. Everything is so smooth that becomes pleasurable already by itself. But not only that, also my work iPhone got recen

It still misses something basic for a commuter bike, a mudguard. An urban or commuting bike without one makes no sense whatsoever.

Replace your Sodium Or Lithium by petrol or gas, and your comment would have been typical in the beginning of the 20 century. We are all sitting on ‘minibombs’ since we developed cars and personal devices with batteries. That is the point o
