Hä? Die Amis haben doch dauernd den Finger am Abzug?

Monaco is a tax haven where lots and lots of companies are nominally registered, so everything they make counts towards Monacos GDP. Since not a lot of people live there, the GDP per citizen is very high, even though the citizens aren't the ones creating the value.

It's just a statistical error, similar to the one that causes the Vatican to have by far the highest crime rate in the world (because it has millions of visitors whose crimes are counted in relation to the ~400 residents in the statistic).

OK. Ich wünsch dir noch nen schönen Abend.

Der Politiker, der die Sprengung vorschlägt, hätte vermutlich selbst einen Sprengsatz in seinem Briefkasten gefunden.Das hat mich an der Geschichte am Meisten verängstigt: Wie komplett abseits jeglicher Rationalität die öffentliche Meinung inzwischen ist.

Ein Verbrenner-Auto, das im Teillastbereich herumgurkt hat einen noch geringeren Wirkungsgrad.

Darauf habe ich geantwortet, weil ich mich mit dem Thema "Hypermiling" ziemlich intensiv außeinandergesetzt hab, und beitragen wollte, dass man den Wirkungsgrad des Motors durch die eigene Fahrweise erhöhen kann.

Nein, das ist kein Argument für irgendwas.Das war einfach nur ein Kommentar zum generellen Thema des Threads.Nicht alles hier muss eine Diskussion sein, bei der man die Anderen überzeugen muss.Und mich musst du von nichts überzeugen, ich lebe (außer der Pflicht zum Fahren für den Job) seit 40 Jahren aus Überzeugung autofrei.Sorry, dass mein Beitrag nicht deinen Qualitätsvorstellungen entsprochen hat.

Klar. Aber auch das kann man mit Fahrweise etwas optimieren, indem man möglichst häufig unter Volllast beschleunigt, und mit Nulllast auslaufen lässt statt zu bremsen.

Ich muss für den Job immer eine Woche pro Monat im Firmenauto pendeln, wegen Rufbereitschaft.Finde es immer wieder lustig, wenn der Bordcomputer nach meiner Woche (und 200km Strecke) eine größere Restreichweite anzeigt als vorher.Vorausschauendes Fahren, Vermeiden von unnötigem Bremsen (frühzeitig vom Gas gehen, Abstand halten), Beschleunigen unter Volllast, und Drehzahl zwischen 1100 und 1600 halten, verbraucht 25% weniger Sprit, ohne später anzukommen oder zum Verkehrshindernis zu werden.

Thanks for the reply.I did, and found someone saying it works fine on Arch with Proton 9, 3 months ago.So I tried that, and it worked. I had only tried Experimental and 10 before with no success.

No, it doesn't have that option.I'm cutting the dev a lot of slack here. He made the game all by himself.The fix was as easy as switching to a Proton version closer to the game's release date.

Yep. that worked and now I feel stupid.I had tried experimental and 10 with no success. With 9, it works.Thanks a lot!

That's genuinely the thing I'm most thankful for.No matter where I go to get treated, I just scan my insurance card and all the financial stuff is taken care of.

No, at least 3 in 10 genuinely agree with what he's doing, have always thought this way, and are glad that behavior like his can be shown out in the open without consequences now.

Ich denke auch, Eventualvorsatz (das bewusste Inkaufnehmen, dass jemand sterben könnte) muss hier eigentlich vorliegen.Aber vielleicht kennen Polizei und Staatsanwalt ja den Grundstücksbesitzer und wissen, dass der ein "anständiger Bürger" ist.

I live in Germany. It can be a bit complicated...I was encouraged to sign a "contract" with my GP saying I should always go to them first with any non-emergency issue and they'll refer me to a specialized doctor. The idea is to have all my medical info in one place, which makes sense.

So I was at work, pulling open a desk to wire up all the IT stuff, when something in my finger snapped.I reported it to my team leader. He gave me an ice pack and told a colleague to drive me to the doctor.The colleague asked me where to drive to, and I honestly had no idea. This is the first issue. I was expected to decide: Is this an emergency? It's not life-threatening, but it hurt and started to swell quickly. How time-critical is it, in order not to lose use of the finger? Should I go to the hospital? Do I need an X-Ray? How the fuck should I know before a doctor looked at it?

So I googled "X-Ray clinic" in my home town and found a big one. I waited in the phone queue while we started driving. Eventually I got through and they told me they only accept patients with referrals from a doctor.So we re-routed to my GP, which is half an hour drive. When we got there and had found a parking spot, a sign at the door said that the doctor's practice had moved to a new address the week before.We drove to the new address. I talked to the receptionist. She told us that since this is a work accident, I need to visit my workplace's approved doctor. She asked which one that is, and which insurance is responsible. I had no idea.

So I called my team leader. He also didn't know. He said he'd find out and call back. We waited.After 15 minutes, we had the right address. It was a 30 minute drive in the other direction.When we got there and had found a parking spot, a sign at the door informed us that the practice had recently moved.We drove to the new address, which was another 30 minute drive, but within walking distance of my workplace. I was finally admitted to get looked at.

By then the ice pack had long melted, my finger was swollen, hurting and throbbing, and the receptionist told me she can't give me a new ice pack, only a doctor can. She then handed me a 4 page document in small print to fill out.So I sat there, with a swollen, throbbing hand, filling out all kinds of info about me, my medical history, allergies, my work place info, insurance number, how I got injured, whether I had reported the injury, etc.

Then I had to wait an hour, was given an X-Ray, and 10 minutes of a doctor's time, who told me they can't see what it is. I should come back in a week if it doesn't get better, and then they'd give me a CT scan.A week later, it was not fully healed but much better, so I didn't go back. That was 6 months ago. I can use the finger normally and have no pain, but I can still feel it a little.

At my first startup job, I was given access to the prod database, the customer-facing email address, full rights to the git repository and domain admin rights, and told to set up my dev environment on day 1 (I had zero coding experience and had been open about it).At my first corporate job, the only task for the first day was to give feedback on whether I'm comfortable with the ergnomics of my chair, monitor setup and mouse.

Great design, with the exhaust pointing directly at the user.

Also, I feel like a 100W solar cell (about 0.5 m²) and an extra battery would be slightly more practical for off-grid computing.

My Summer Car has weird fans, but you need to be weird to enjoy that game.

I won't tip toes for simply doing their job.

Das sind also die Nachbarn, die über mir wohnen...
