The places you choose to live in sound pretty interesting. And diverse! May I ask: Is this work-related that you live country-side in so many different places, or are you a restless soul? :)

I decided to look for a new job after our management only very reluctantly let us all work from home (it was very obvious they just don‘t trust their employees to still do their job when not on site). My productivity has gone up due to no m

Well, a survey usually tries to extrapolate numbers from a sample smaller than the total. They do this by trying to get a representative sample. Also if you were to ask each and every American about their stance on remote work I think that

Here‘s an argument: The US is supposedly the land of the free, where everyone is allowed to live life according to their beliefs. It would be against this principle to force this re-education program you‘re proposing on someone. A way simpl

>but... that type of program doesn't exist. I was thinking of Unix command line tools. Every one of them comes with a buttload of parameters and some of them make me think 'why would you ever need this?!' :)

Sounds nice, except programming is difficult and akin to magic for most people. Achieving what‘s proposed here, namely wanting to get a job done, but your requirements for it are different from how your friend uses it, is usually achieved b

Oh sounds like everything is fine then! Seriouy doesn‘t your hair stand up in horror when you re-read this?! „You can always choose to die when you can‘t afford treatment“. WTF?!

I see what you‘re saying and have been wondering the same thing for a while (although I don‘t have Jesus to back me up :D). The way I see it is, there‘s only so many hours in a day and most of them I spend at work anyway. So, instead of cli

Greed and hubris is masquerading as reason and „telling it like it is“ on the Right but many have convinced themselves that the masquerade is genuine. Just doing some balancing here.

For some reason now I have a reply button again. I want to use it to tell you that I find your suggestion based on the remarks I made here very rude. The driving skill you infer on my part probably says more about your interpretation of my

Fair point. I guess the best solution would be to just further develop both: Manned and unmanned missions. Also I think the psychological effects of having actual humans doing this stuff on the people staying back home should not be underes

I didn't mean to criticize living in a democracy in any way, just highlighting the effects of it. But you expanded quite nicely on that point, thank you! Sadly, I think the goal of implementing policies in support of "the collecti

I guess the point was that for a people that react very strongly to even the slightest hints of decreasing individual freedom, it's kind of ironic to have so many podcasts financed by corporate interests, which decreases their constitu

@FDSGSG: That's why I said "from seemingly kilometers away". Like, I base my decision on if I have enough space to take over by assuming reasonable[0] speed levels and suddenly someone comes along going 250 km/h [0] I gu

I don't really have a stake in the matter, but as your response clearly shows even just mentioning the topic triggers vehement defenses. You clearly have done your research though, so I respect your argument. What I will say however, w

I've seen these kind of stops in the Netherlands and can totally understand your point. I am all for separate bike lanes but why you would do it in a way to have this separate "bus island" I couldn't see.

I'm not exactly sure what you're hinting at here: Is it that China is underreporting new infections for the neighboring provinces now, or that they mis-reported stats of Hubei before? Anyways, I must say I find it a little disconc

Well, to be fair, it's very very hard to take away any conveniences for cars because of the strong opposition by pro-car people. Just recently there was a proposition in Germany to enact an absolute speed limit on the Autobahn. The ger

Ha, funnily enough I was just thinking about looking up a technical museum in Vienna 2 days ago. Thank you! I'm also a big fan of the Deutsches Museum in Munich: https://www.deutsches-museum.de

Okay, the point about free charging is fair, I didn't know that. But as far as I understand Tesla Superchargers are so superior to conventional charging in terms of speed that not having them available is a huge drawback to a Tesla own

So you're proposing the Ecuadorian government should've given a whole lot of money to Chevron to be able to have a say in the matter? At this point I would be fine with them sending in their army and raiding the place. If some of
