Decent game to quit about 30h in because while it's good and fun to play, it's incredibly repetitive.

Cheaper labour in the most expensive town in a country that is well known for high labour costs?

The reason that polar bear liver has toxic levels of vitamin A is that seal liver does and polar bears eat those.

So don't eat seal liver either.

Genau deshalb heißt das ja auch "arbeitsunfähig" und nicht "krank".

Not American, bit my understanding is that filling taxes in the US is complicated and confusing to the point where most people use paid software to do it. There is an obvious lobby of tax filing software companies keeping it that way.

Sad times for everyone that still believed in antitrust.

I just saw this video in my feed. Darens does a good job of criticizing the objectively terrible "review" that LazyPeon made a few days back.

A commuter train from Erkner (which is well connected to the greater Berlin network) to the factory, running 54 times a day while coopting the existing industrial rail the factory needs anyway seems much more reasonable than using a bus shuttle service.

Kind of makes me think that Elon had no say in this decision.

We should just stop exempting airlines from taxes. There's no reason why kerosene should not be taxed.

At some point in this millenium, it became ubiquitous in games to ask for a button press before switching to the main menu and it has become a pet peeve off mine.

Why is that there? It's your main menu so ugly that you have to shield players from it? Why can I not double click the game Icon, go to the kitchen to get coffee and return to the PC/console to find myself in the main menu ready to continue my game? Seriously, cui bono? Sometimes, they even show a different screen before that press, which some artist got paid for creating, so the developer is also losing (a tiny amount of) money here.

I honestly just don't get the point of these screens.

Bonus negative points for games that only check DLC after that button press instead of any other point of the losing process. Calling a server could easily be threaded while the game assets are loaded since it takes very little hardware load to do so. But no, I get to wait an additional 10 seconds because the game devs want me to for no apparent reason.

On a related note: just allow players to auto skip intros, please. Just put an checkbox in the settings, so that everyone can see it once.

As far as I know, the "logic" is as follows:

  1. The ionosphere is very important for the weather
  2. HAARP is doing something with it
  3. Obviously not just studies, these antenna arrays use lasers or radiation to influence it directly.
  4. Pew pew
  5. Tornados
