The places you choose to live in sound pretty interesting. And diverse! May I ask: Is this work-related that you live country-side in so many different places, or are you a restles…

I decided to look for a new job after our management only very reluctantly let us all work from home (it was very obvious they just don‘t trust their employees to still do their jo…

Well, a survey usually tries to extrapolate numbers from a sample smaller than the total. They do this by trying to get a representative sample. Also if you were to ask each and ev…

Here‘s an argument: The US is supposedly the land of the free, where everyone is allowed to live life according to their beliefs. It would be against this principle to force this r…

> a one sized solution does both good and bad Not necessarily. Who says morning people have a problem with later school start times? They can still get up earlier if they like and …

>but... that type of program doesn't exist. I was thinking of Unix command line tools. Every one of them comes with a buttload of parameters and some of them make me think 'why wou…

Sounds nice, except programming is difficult and akin to magic for most people. Achieving what‘s proposed here, namely wanting to get a job done, but your requirements for it are d…

Oh sounds like everything is fine then! Seriouy doesn‘t your hair stand up in horror when you re-read this?! „You can always choose to die when you can‘t afford treatment“. WTF?!

I see what you‘re saying and have been wondering the same thing for a while (although I don‘t have Jesus to back me up :D). The way I see it is, there‘s only so many hours in a day…

Greed and hubris is masquerading as reason and „telling it like it is“ on the Right but many have convinced themselves that the masquerade is genuine. Just doing some balancing her…

For some reason now I have a reply button again. I want to use it to tell you that I find your suggestion based on the remarks I made here very rude. The driving skill you infer on…

Fair point. I guess the best solution would be to just further develop both: Manned and unmanned missions. Also I think the psychological effects of having actual humans doing this…

I didn't mean to criticize living in a democracy in any way, just highlighting the effects of it. But you expanded quite nicely on that point, thank you! Sadly, I think the goal of…

I guess the point was that for a people that react very strongly to even the slightest hints of decreasing individual freedom, it's kind of ironic to have so many podcasts financed…

@FDSGSG: That's why I said "from seemingly kilometers away". Like, I base my decision on if I have enough space to take over by assuming reasonable[0] speed levels and suddenly som…

I don't really have a stake in the matter, but as your response clearly shows even just mentioning the topic triggers vehement defenses. You clearly have done your research though,…

I've seen these kind of stops in the Netherlands and can totally understand your point. I am all for separate bike lanes but why you would do it in a way to have this separate "bus…

I'm not exactly sure what you're hinting at here: Is it that China is underreporting new infections for the neighboring provinces now, or that they mis-reported stats of Hubei befo…

>almost anything a human being can do, a robotic probe can do far cheaper ... and far more inefficiently. I can't find the article right now, but a while back there was a submissio…

Well, to be fair, it's very very hard to take away any conveniences for cars because of the strong opposition by pro-car people. Just recently there was a proposition in Germany to…

>Punctured lung, ruptured spleen, broken ribs etc. What in the hell was going on there? I mean, I get GP's point about aggressive cyclists. I noticed them in Berlin especially (str…

Just goes to show how many motorists drive around with a „the road is mine“-attitude. If that doesn‘t change and people have no actual interest in the well-being of their fellow hu…

Ha, funnily enough I was just thinking about looking up a technical museum in Vienna 2 days ago. Thank you! I'm also a big fan of the Deutsches Museum in Munich: https://www.deutsc…

>here in Vienna, we also have museums devoted to such things Can you provide a link of which museum you're talking about specifically? Just in case someone reading this happens to …

I was planning on finally visiting Rome this year :) Everyone who's already been tells me it's really impressive
