It's weird seeing queues for voting.

When I vote, I walk to my local voting place, chat with people I know, vote, chat a bit more, then walk home. Perhaps half an hour, if I'm feeling chatty.

I don't know how you could possibly fit 999,999,999 people into an SSN, or even the entire current fleet of US SSNs. And I don't know how reusing numbers will help, given the time to build a new SSN. But it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the USN and the US. Hopefully, some of us outside the US, will be alive to make memes about it.

We may have our opinions about the qualities of Reddit. But the Daily Mail? I feel dirty, just having a link to that dump on my screen.

People: "This is a xylophone."

Musicians: "It's metallic, hint hint."

People: "Yes, it's a metallic xylophone."

Musicians:

Lies like this is part of the reason.

It's more positive than I expected. 😁

Step up military aid to Ukraine significantly. That is the only way to peace. Giving in to russian demands would only lead to a short cease fire, before they launch their next attack.

That so many Germans have bought into russian propaganda is a major hurdle.

Some of us are given free meals to eat in our paid meal breaks.

Nothing fancy though. Most times, the chef only makes a starter or a dessert. Rarely both.

• Not an invasion of privacy.

• Activating a sprinkler would be a better deterrent than sending an alert to Simon.

Which they do. Not on a global scale, though.

It is quite annoying to be Russia's neighbours. But you can work around it. In fact, it's not bad to train yourself to operate without GNSS. And it would be even better if the jammers decided to spontaneously combust.

Why would it be anything else?

It's clearly too low a number to be °K. And since the only two valid units of measurement for temperature are Kelvin and Celsius, it must be °C.

It can be that. But it is also a medium for public forums.

I've never been to a Starbucks. But from the content I see about them online, they do seem like a typical American fakery outlet.

Venti, that's twenty in Italian, is a cup of twenty American stupidity units of coffee. And their new CEO has a commute in excess of 1600km!

Even if I enjoyed coffee, I would find somewhere else to spend my money.

I've actually never found a name of an IKEA product to be fake. They can be obscure, odd, and some would normally be split. But never truly fake. Though, FEJKA does mean "to fake". Which is an honest name for a series of fake plants.

It's not up to date.

• Whatever cars we produce, should be battery-electric.

• Eastern Germany is in need of employment opportunities.

• It's a plantation, and Tesla is required to plant trees elsewhere.

• Elon Musk is a terrible human being. But at least in Germany, there is a functional government to oversee this factory.

Which is to say, I have no objections to Tesla building a factory here.

Addendum: Yes, public transportation is better, if you have it. Living in your workplace is even better. For some of us, driving a BEV is a pragmatic compromise. Hydrogen is wasteful and stupid. Fossil fuels, including most hydrogen, is fucking stupid. AfD (aka. "We're definitely not Nazis") thrive where unemployed is high. Those trees are now houses, furniture, and toilet paper. By functional, I don't mean efficient, corruption-free, or anything like that in absolute terms. But compared to Texas, CCP-China, or most other places in the world, it is somewhat functional for the purpose of overseeing industry. Well, apart from those giant holes in the ground where there's coal, and all those emissions scandals. And the German environmental movement is, in large parts, a bunch of unwitting russian sock-puppets. Ripened for the enshittification of the internet by decades of soviet/russian propaganda.

And using "lbs" makes it clear that the publication is not targeted towards people who think critically.

Chill.

And don't think you can convince me that elephants are real.

Well, I hope some will question the validity of this particular claim after reading my comment. Many more will probably question it after reading the comments, from others, that have found the measurements to likely be recorded incorrectly.

If someone made an accusation of pollution with a substance I could see them using or producing, I would be more inclined to believe it.

Human medieval times? No, don't be silly.

Horse medieval times? Now, that's another thing. Irrespective of whether they work or not, the horses I've spoken to are generally convinced they have entered the renaissance.
