I have, but there is a new tenant moving in right after me so there's not much she can do. She offered to store my stuff in the garage for as long as needed thankfully.

Not well, sadly. Trying to stay distracted but all that’s happened to me feels like the perfect storm. Signed a new contract in January and was supposed to start in April, moving c…

Here's one from Regensburg (Bavaria), AFAIK a compromise between the city (they wanted no modern branding at all) and McDonalds. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7…

Export is not "only possible" due to the Bretton Woods system, and the rest of your thoughts on exports are just pure unfounded speculation. Germany makes sought-after goods and wi…

Not sure why the overall population matters here. Bicycle trips typically do not cover large distances in cities, that's what public transport is for. And when it comes to density,…

Useless for Germany, since it apparently doesn't have data for states, counties or cities, all of which can (and do) have different public holidays in Germany. I'm sure there's mor…

From personal experience I can say that I am certain that both Dieter Zetsche and Harald Krüger know more about basically every aspect of producing cars than Elon Musk ever will. B…

It’s not publicly known who owns how much of FlixBus. It has been reported that General Atlantic holds 35%, but Daimler, Holtzbrinck and the founders most likely hold a significant…

Pretty much anything in the US is easy. Try Indian cities, Italian villages or the Russian countryside. I’m absolutely certain that not a single one of the so called “self-driving”…

> Most EVs get ~3.3 mi/kWh. Not even close. BMW runs electric trucks between production facilities and our 169kWh trucks (Terberg YT202-EV) which haul up to 34,000kg get at most 10…

The Fraunhofer Society is not and never was a "patent troll". They do actual research and one of their income sources is licensing the resulting patents.

I wondered that too. Pretty ridiculous that they claim "Self-Driving on the Streets of San Francisco Is Really Hard". City driving in the US is pretty much as easy as it gets. Thes…

What an unbelievably stupid thing to say. Traitors from war-torn, corrupt and authoritarian countries become traitors by risking their (and their families) lives to fight for the r…

For some very limited use cases five years may be realistic. For a car that can do everything and go everywhere a human driver can it's more like 50 years.

No, a minority in the investigation committee dealing with the revelations around NSA and other foreign intelligence services can now (due to a recent court decision) bring forward…

I'm pretty sure the people at the WHO are very aware of these facts. If you look at their numbers the US is still significantly worse off than almost all European nations.

The number of immigrants per capita in the US is not especially high. It's lower than in Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Germany and similar to most Western European natio…

You'll find many startups in Berlin, anything else not so much. Try München, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Stuttgart if you want a good wage and interesting work.

Like most people in Germany I pay 7.3% + 0.2% supplemental. I decided against private insurance due to the recent massive premium hikes, even though right now it would be cheaper f…

> I wonder what kinds of devices this is intended for? Presumably, they are a very important market for Qt to have implemented this? And these devices have graphics displays but th…

Do the 32kg include the inverter and reduction gear? I highly doubt they do. My guess is that with those included it weighs AT LEAST 100kg, probably closer to 200kg. I can't find a…

I wouldn't say it's tragic, I'd say it's negligent misnaming. The people in charge surely were aware that some users would use it in way it shouldn't be used due to the expectation…

Compared to the leave propaganda this is exceptionally tame. Anything you read about the future of the UK nowadays is pure speculation anyway. My guess is that the market recovered…

I seriously doubt that you have. You wouldn't be writing nonsense about a "fresh start" or "finding a new job/wife" otherwise. Even steps much more insignificant than those are sim…

Not to forget Tibia, which was released in January 1997, is still developed and run by the same company and has thousands of concurrent players at any time of the day.
