How many of them were committed by Germans?

I just don’t eat till the evening.
Hunger triggers a caveman response of “you need to work to get food” which keeps me productive.

I feel like a real plumber would look at this, and just say “Now what the hell have you got going on HERE??? NO NO NO NO NO!!! This is all wrong!

To be fair, a real plumber says that every time they enter a bathroom to start a job.

Read world news for a couple of minutes. That’ll get you down.

If only getting estrogen were this easy…

It’s only the .bashrc file

Someone can edit it and put in

 alias sudo = "sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root"  

(Or any other malicious sudo command)
Now your system is fucked next time you log in and try any sudo command.

That compromises your entire system, by the way.

And thousands of others.
Hollywood doesn’t make all movies in the world.

The way I read it, it doesn’t. That’s still a private transaction.
And who buys a house and hands over a suitcase full of cash?

Did they actually hand over a bag full of cash?
Cause the other alternative isn’t a mortgage, it’s a bank transfer.

Under the new rules, businesses and professionals selling goods or services will no longer be allowed to accept or make cash payments of €10,000 or more.

This doesn’t apply to private transactions, by the way.
Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a single example of a legitimate legal business that would be done using cash in that amount.
So while there’s definitely a danger of the rules being tightened over time, this specific change here doesn’t raise my concern too much.
What bothers me more is the utter lack of any effective measure against the true problem in tax fraud – those who do it at a truly large scale still get away without any punishment or control, and in fact sit at the table when the tax laws are written.

That’s not dessert, that’s more calories than a family of 5 needs in a week.

But there’s more caffeine in that than in the gallon jug full of syrup and milk you get in the US.

You burn 73 calories by running less than 10 minutes.
A 30 minute jog burns over 300.
Do that twice a week and it amounts to a body weight difference of 90 lbs. (300000 calories) over 10 years with the same diet.
A healthy weight isn’t something you achieve quickly and then you’re done and can go back to your old “normal” lifestyle.

The human body is kinda magical. If you live an active life, take the stairs, exercise, commute by bicycle, and walk a lot, it’ll change to become better at being active over time.
If you sit on your ass all day and eat a lot, it’ll optimize itself for sitting on its ass and eating a lot.
So your body does its best to adjust to what you want to do.

(Of course there are medical exceptions where that doesn’t work right, too. And the prevailing culture and car-centric infrastructure in the US doesn’t make it exactly easy to be active in your daily life.)

Die Verschlankung des Theorieunterrichts klingt sinnvoll.
Der war vor 20 Jahren schon für den Arsch. Da stand vorne einer und hat Anekdoten erzählt, und für die Prüfung musste man eh die Bögen mehr oder weniger auswendig lernen.
Auch kürzere Fahrprüfungen sind OK. Ob jemand fahrtüchtig ist, merkt der Prüfer nicht erst nach einer Stunde.
Weniger Sonderfahrten finde ich sinnfrei, ich kenne keinen, der nur die Pflicht-Sonderfahrten gemacht hat und dann zur Prüfung zugelassen wurde. Das bringt meiner Meinung nach nichts, außer dass die Fahrschulen in ihrer Werbung einen niedrigeren Preis bei “Führerschein ab X€” hinschreiben können, was dann aber nichts mit der Realität zu tun hat.

can’t read “article” without CNBC Pro

But trust me, if it’s on CNBC, investors know about it.
Whether the author is right is another question.
And on another note, the stock market is completely dominated by AI agents now.
They trade faster than any human can react, so most of what the market does isn’t determined by human decisions anymore.
A fake news tweet can now cost a stock billions in value, in seconds.

Granted, I should have limited my statement to B12.
One of the main arguments against veganism is that it isn’t “natural” cause you need B12 supplements and there’s no way around that.
But farm animals usually also get B12 supplements because the bacteria that actually produces it (and then puts it in the grass) only lives in natural soil.
So only cattle who can actually graze will get it. If they are fed from industrially made feed, it needs to be supplemented.

That open document clearly tells you how to fix it.

You just can’t read it because

your eyes are in the way.

My reason is that I tried it, after focusing my attention on researching micronutrients for weeks, making an elaborate meal plan that covers everything, and taking supplements.
After 4 weeks, I felt hungry no matter how much I ate, and then I found a tuft of my hair in the shower sink.
I then ate a blue rare steak and it felt like a rush of euphoria and relief. I was giggling while I ate.

I don’t know what I was missing, but after so much research I was pretty sure I couldn’t figure it out.
So now I’m a “weekday vegan” + an occasional piece of blue cheese, meat or liver, and I’m feeling fine.

Fun fact: People who eat meat from factory farming (virtually every meat eater) also rely on vitamin supplementation.
Only with extra steps: The cattle get the supplements. Cause they don’t graze on lush natural meadows anymore, they’re fed mostly corn.
