Not true. Most politicians in Germany are lawyers as well.

Holy crap. I thought Germany had high electricity prices.

I am well aware:

Until they invade Canada.

JLCPCB has an insanely well optimised process, this is why they are so fast with their manufacturing. And since they are the leader, they operate on such a large scale that they can easily squeeze the small stuff orders between their large orders so they don't waste anything.

I can imagine that going uphill and downhill is also much easier in an electric truck.

No need to relocate anything. The UN already has other buildings - in Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi.

I had zero problems with compatibility. Everything worked as it should. Honestly, the only hardware problems I had back in the day wwre caused by bad quality EDO RAM - so much crap memory has been sold back then. My first test for that used to be the OS/2 Warp installer floppy, the installer always crashed if the RAM was bad.

Let's try that again.

Doesn't mean it isn't true or that he's wrong. He's hardly going to trick kids into reading his article, to trick them. I think reading is the vehicle into learning things in your life that unlocks what you'd really love to do.

It seems that the only two sides of politics that exist is the agonist and the antagonist. Left and Right have become obsolete as a consequence of their absolute polarization.

Intelligence can manifest in different ways unrelated to reading, math, music, painting for example. I'd also say that language could be considered a limiter of intelligence when you're restricted to words. I seen high intelligence is as much of a curse as a blessing, thinking can be addictive especially if you have hard emotions that you're avoiding feeling.

I can tell you from reading thousands of pages of proposed Acts of law; it's a fucking tedious slog that takes weeks out of your life and is absolutely vital component of a functioning democracy - way better than just voting. What's magical is the patience to do it or face the consequences of not doing it. The best way to solve that problem is log onto your government's page where laws are proposed and start reading AND writing about a portion of law that interests you.

That's what democracy needs.

Freedom of speech carrys with it an inherent responsibility to figure out what the reality is and make a judgement call. Respect is earned if someone can be civil, polite while they express that freedom.

Hopefully it's something that really offends them.

Yep, I have used an old sandy bridge xeon for gaming until maybe two years ago when it finally went back into a server.

They were good for a cheap second computer that is rarely used.

Just because they think so doesn't mean it is the case. They tried to do the same shit with google plus and the glasses. The former is dead, the latter has a rather small niche existence. I can't recall any successful google product that became popular by being showed down the users' throats.

Per etymonline.com:

victim (n.)

mid-15c., "sacrificial animal, living creature killed and offered as a sacrifice to a deity or supernatural power, or in the performance of a religious rite;" from Latin victima "sacrificial animal; person or animal killed as a sacrifice," a word of uncertain origin.

The point is that either you accept that words can change in meaning over time or you don't, but to allow semantic drift for victim and not for survivor is inconsistent.

opps - That's not the comment I wanted to make.
