Yeah, that calculation is a bit bonkers, but the 6a is available for ~330 € and I'm pondering to buy one. My problem is usually the lack of security updates with phones in this price band (last year's model or whatever) but accord

How would it be illegal to have an outdated price with a big date of validity attached? Or are you pointing out there should be a year? Not trying to defend anything here, but that simply sounds unlikely and my example would be supermarket

I can't really prove it, but as far as environmental impact goes, single use wooden chopsticks are just so much nicer than wooden forks. They usually seem to make them in such a weird texture that my arm hairs go stand up if I lick a w

I do have a pair or two with grooves at the pointy end, but I wouldn't say for sure that it helps with the grip. They're lacquered wooden ones I brought from a SE asia trip, but not sure how common they are.

I actually thought about this a lot until I visited Singapore/Hong Kong. Just put the bowl to your mouth and drink the soup while shoveling the noodles - at first I thought I just saw some hurried people, but at least in food stalls an

I understood it more like "if wink#1234 from 2019 and wink#9876 from 2022 both want to change their name, the 2019 account can get it earlier" but maybe you are tight :(

At the peril of sounding like a classist rich asshole (not from America) it actually is like that though. If you go to a shop without marked prices in some country, you can either compare to an equivalent item at home, or to something from

There's a difference between "I can afford it", "I must haggle" and just outright trying to rip you off. The example I often quote was me, a blonde European, in Cuba, just walking down the street. Someone with a rik

Not too uncommon in Bavaria and Austria, if the restaurant (or especially beergarden) is quite full - the waiters will even sometimes just place you there or give you the option to leave, or wait. I wouldn't say I've seen it if th

Guess it depends on so many factors. I live in an 8 story building and I hardly see my neighbors, so unless we could car pool some days I couldn't care less if coworkers past and present I like or dislike are living next door. We have

Now I'm really wondering if they cut that from the German dubs, or if I didn't pay attention, or if I simply didn't watch enough episodes, or not in full.

I'll have you know that our local utilities actually do run billboard campaigns to drink tap water. Yes, it's excellent and many people do :P

I suppose for the last 10y I've been drinking above average amounts of milk and I really prefer our 1.5% over the 3.5%. Perfectly fine milk taste for me and there should absolutely no gobs of cream in there, ugh - I also don't dri

Been a while since I watched it but there was an interesting difference between tennis broadcasts on German TV and Austrian TV. The Germans were using German game-specific terms - e.g. "Aus" for out of field and the Austrians were

Depends on what you're looking for specifically but I'd rate Hamburg higher than both (I'm from Munich).

I'd say you see RLP in written form from time to time, but yeah, not "commonly". Also BaWü isn't an acronym but you're right, compared to other countries we're not really big on abbreviating the states it seems

Same with the security conference in Munich and other days, so not sure that's a perfect reason for Germany per se, but good if you like it :P

The funny thing about that is most people who never did a real language test have no idea what these categories even mean. I only learned languages in high school and I never moved to another country. A coworker of mine once tried to explai

PHP's string datatype (in the C code) had a length field in addition to the actual bytes (probably still has), so the idea is not always bad (if most of what you do is string manipulation, so len() is O(1) and not O(n)) but I get your

If you work with it daily maybe. The LTS releases in numerical form are anchor points. (even number + .04), but even if I should know I'd have to look up again which one is 22.04. Wasn't a problem when doing OS stuff with server

Not excited and actually not updating right now, but for a desktop install I do see people going every upgrade. Speaking couch laptop here, I usually upgrade when the new LTS release is out, sticking out the full 4-5 years on a desktop is a

Yep, and even if it's (nearly) free (not the US) the opportunity costs of not working for a few years can be harsh. It depends, and I'm still not sure if I regret it, I keep telling myself that I learned enough interesting and use
