redballooon,

I use it to rewrite my rants as formal letters to our landlord.

redballooon,

Also benefiting the ad companies who charge per click, while not ever leading to a sale.

Seriously, though. How often do you think of the Roman Empire?

I know this is a joke/meme, but I sincerely think of the Roman Empire a surprising amount of times. I find myself obsessing over how Roman citizens were living just as complex lives as we are today, or about Marcus Aurelius’ life and philosophy, or about how the Republic fell and became a totalitarian state.

redballooon,

I think you are confusing impact and desire for role model there. The impact of the Roman Empire, as well as western colonialism is exactly as you describe it, and it’s not wrong to think about these things.

Just because someone does that doesn’t mean they laude that in any way.

redballooon,

Because fascism

redballooon,

Science tells you otherwise though! coincidence?

redballooon,

It did not say that ie by promoting members can be prime members who get money back, true.

But something like that is implied by calling it a pyramid scheme. Maybe it’s just bad reporting. Imagine that, in an internet article of all things!

According to Wikipedia the theoretical max bandwidth on the 2.4GHz bandwidth is 706,25 kbit/s downstream.

I don’t have data from Apple, but Qualcomms lossless Bluetooth audio transmits up to 1Mb/s.

So, a three minute internet search supports rather apples story than yours.

redballooon,

True. Corrected.

About the bandwidth, that’s directly from Wikipedia

What math? There is no math in there. I typed 1 unit incorrectly. One that didn’t actually matter for the argument.

redballooon,

Should I rather trust a random naysayer on the internet? I haven’t heard yet his numbers or sources, even. My argument still stands after the correction of a unit.

redballooon,

Ist im September nicht mehr neu, aber es ist mir tatsächlich erst dieses Jahr aufgefallen. Hat vielleicht was mit Merz zu tun.

redballooon,

Na die haben gelernt mit wem sie sich’s besser nicht verscherzen.

AfD kompatibles Logo und los gehts in ein neues gestriges Deutschland.

redballooon,

Eine die ich unsubscribed habe weil die hier immer alles dupliziert

redballooon,

How does a polite and grateful person navigate the internet?

I care a lot about what other people think (not good) and if someone tries to help or helps me, I can’t stay without saying thank you. I really want to thank people who comment on my posts. But many times I ask a lot of questions and I thus reply to a lot of comments and try to be polite and show how grateful I am. So, now, I...

redballooon,

That’s very nice of you, very bad Janet

redballooon,

People who deny this often collapse anything the us does with other NATO partners into actual NATO actions.

redballooon,

I believe comments like this are the reason why people want to defederate hexbear.

Self-opinionated, aggressive and insulting, all in a few lines of comment. I can’t deny there’s an art in there, but not one that makes one like the artist.

redballooon,

I tried, carefully. What got as a response was self opinionated, aggressive and full of insults.

redballooon,

Lmgtfy www.merriam-webster.com/…/self-opinionated

redballooon,

Among the synonyms: dogmatic, stubborn.

I think that carries an overall appropriate meaning.

redballooon,

Look, I weakly challenged the original commenter on a basis which I actually observed in the real world.

Since then I only was challenged back in the forms of belittling and insults.

Not one word about why NATO would not be a defensive alliance. I left loooots of room for that in my initial response. But no, only insults, and now I am challenged because of the use of a nuanced english word that you people choose to not understand. This is ridiculous.

I was indifferent before, but after this experience I support defederating hexbear.

redballooon,

The last one I read about that told me indeed that NATO did the bombardment in Yugoslavia not for defense, but for a humanitarian clause that it also has in its preamble. I was surprised a bit that they have it in there, and how selective they choose to deploy that.

Nevertheless, in that situation there was foundation enough to understand the reasoning, and they did so only after the UN was not able to get together to effectively do something against concentration camps and genozidal tendencies by what was then Serbia.

Now the people who argue that NATO is an aggressive alliance have arguments like the Iraq war in their portfolio, which very clearly was not a nato operation.

Maybe kindly point me to a book that is worth reading, and I will put it on my list for consideration.

How does one become a massive calendar nerd?

redballooon,

Wir sind auf eine Masche reingefallen wo eine neue Tonie Box für die Hälfte des marktüblichen Preises angeboten wurde.

Habe überwiesen, wir erhielten eine Toniebox, aber komischerweise von irgendeinem Spielzeug Laden. Mit Lieferschein aber ohne Rechnung. Hat uns nicht gekümmert, bis dann dieser Laden uns Monate später eine “letzte Mahnung” geschickt hat.

Bis dahin waren alle Daten bei Kleinanzeigen schon wieder gelöscht und der Betrüger war nix mehr aufzufinden.

redballooon,

Ohne den Prozess zu verteidigen, ich schätze das Risiko für Wahlbetrug ist relativ gering, wenn der Wahlschein an die ohnehin hinterlegte Meldeadresse geschickt wird.

redballooon,

Hm hab ich überlesen. Und es deckt sich auch nicht mit meiner Erinnerung als ich das letzte ma Briefwahl beantragt habe.

Ich ziehe die Information einfach mal pauschal in Zweifel. Das kann nicht rechtens sein, so eine Bananenrepublik ist Deutschland nicht.

redballooon,

Tja

redballooon,

Yes, cold turkey, after a mental preparation phase alongside reading the book. Does relief count as a side effect?

I was in a pretty bad state, health-wise, for a young adult. Think having cold constantly. After stopping, my health quickly became better.

redballooon,

Oh yes. I totally forgot the cost. Back then I was living on what felt almost nothing, and from that about 20% or so went into smoking.

redballooon,

Great read. Not caring enough to pay too much is a good motive in my book.

redballooon,

Wow that’s a great motivation. Good job living up to the role model you signed up for.

Was the stopping smoking part of the consideration to pick that Trainer job?

redballooon, (edited )

Da sind wir nach 13h immer noch sprachlos.

Update: nach zwei Tagen auch.

redballooon,

Probably this one: xkcd.com/2734/

redballooon,

I always immediately downvote posts like this that only foster negative conversations.

redballooon,

It’s easy to get into conversations with strangers.

But the topic is always the same: Habits around smoking and the inability to stop.

redballooon,

Hooray, I guess?

redballooon,

Zeus?

redballooon,

Was meinst du, den Deutschen fehlt der Mut? Ich finde das braucht ganz schön Eier, in die EU zu gehen und zu sagen “Das Verbrenner-Aus, das wir seit Jahren planen machen wir jetzt nicht mit”, oder “Wir haben hart daran gearbeitet, ganz München endlich mit Linux zum Laufen zu bringen, jetzt schmeißen wir das alles weg, wir setzen jetzt auf Windows.”

Die Leute sind nicht feige, es setzen sich halt nur diejenigen durch, die besser geschmiert sind.

redballooon,

How does this score with the new repairability requires in ie France or California?

redballooon,

Oh ok that’s settled then.

redballooon,

Depends on the contract between that man and YouTube. Most countries are strong in enforcing contract terms.

redballooon,

True, but that comment was still badly conceived. Because pretty much all countries would absolutely crack down on a platform, should there be a contract that states that there must be a conviction, and no morality clause. This can absolutely legally be in a contract.

redballooon,

Didn’t know that.

How did I not know that?

It’s exactly as expected!

Tirade: Registrierung zur elektronischen Patientenakte bei der AOK German

Endlich wollte ich mir mal die elektronische Patientenakte zu Gemüte führen. Immerhin hat man als Patient ja - vlt. - auch was davon. Also die App der AOK runtergeladen, gestartet, meine Daten eingetragen und ich werde aufgefordert, die Versicherungskarte per NFC zur Authentifizierung zu nutzen. Ja toll, das ist doch mal...

redballooon,

Patientenakte ist total sinnvoll für Patienten.

Wenn du einmal im Jahrzehnt ein MRT kriegst, bist du zu diesem Zeitpunkt dem Namen nach zwar auch Patient, aber das juckt keinen Arzt und in der ePatientenakte ist das ein Schmuck Werk.

Aber wenn du mal 75 bist und der Gastroenterologe auf der Notaufnahme schnell einsehen kann was deine Krankengeschichte und Medikationsplan sind, kann das dein Leben retten, oder was davon noch übrig ist.

redballooon,

The term quantum leap alone…

redballooon,

It’s a book that historians scoff at. It’s all narrative and no science apart from few cherry picked examples.

“Our Fake History” has an episode on it, and as a topic it’s spot on for that show.
