I mean A could sell apples and buy cherries from C and then sell the cherries to B and buy their beans. That would make a zero sum with both countries. Sure it results in the same end result but with more shiping cost. I think the problem is that many people don’t understand, that a deficit in trade is nothing negative, you are not losing money as a country because you are still getting products.

Nobody complains, that we (as people) have a trade deficit with supermarkets, why don’t they employ us at least for the money we pay in groceries!?

That’s fun. I was a driver kid and didn’t know what I was missing till I moved to a place with good bike/public transport infrastructure.

I suspect people who claim that they prefer to have a car never experienced how much better life quality is in a place without cars where cycling is convenient.

(The noise pollution alone is worth it!)

You might want to check out https://gpslogger.app/ for logging. I’m super happy with the battery usage. My use case is on multiday tracks, so battery charge is a luxury.

Create a python file that only contains this function

def increase_by_one(i):
    # this increments i
    f=open(__file__).read()
    st=f[28:-92][0]
    return i+f.count(st)

Then you can import this function and it will raise an index error if the comment is not there, coming close to the most literal way

Any code which does not contain the comment “this increments i:” will produce a compile error and fail to run.

could be interpreted in python

Modern supercomputers can do computations that would take a person computing on the fastest abacus 10 septillion years which vastly exceeds the age of the universe, so do we live in a multiverse squared?

Probably make the bright pixels dark and the dark pixels bright.

Apparently there is 2 types of Windows licences. The ones that are bound to the hardware and ones that aren’t. If you bought a PC with preinstalled Windows, it’s probably the first and you wont get any new keys.

I have been running Linux for some time now, still had a Windows partition for gaming. Then I switched the motherboard and windows decided I no longer had a key for it… I stopped playing most of the windows exclusive games. Since last week I can’t even boot anymore, something about missing drivers. Spent a day trying to fix it. Today I decided fuck it and I’m just leaving it behind! It makes no sense wasting so much energy on a vastly inferior OS that actively tries to fight me.

Long distance cycling. Compared to the record of 1000+km (~600 miles) in 24 hours I suck, but considering 99 random people I think most won’t go for more than 100 miles, so I’m good.

Or oldest stamp they own. Stamp collecting seems to be a pretty dead hobby.

So these immigrants move to France, don’t speak French, inflate the housing prices, isolate in an English bubble, buy and sell only from English people, and when they get some French workers they complain that people in Rome do as Romans do… I wonder why they aren’t able to find anyone to work for them.

Ja. Verstehe noch nicht warum die Bundesregierung sich die Domain nicht gesichert hat… Hab ich aber auch nur von nem Talk vom CCC gelernt

Yeah, read that on the wikipedia afterwards. There was another article posted which stated that, so that’s probably why I was confused.

This is what I don’t understand. How can the USA trial him for treason? Wikipedia says

Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance

Why would an Australian owe allegiance to the US?

Ich hab bei einem Termin den ich online bekommen habe, gesagt bekommen, dass es ein Onlineportal gibt und man mir ein Account anlegen würde. Ich meinte das sei nicht nötig, da ich ja schon einen habe weswegen ich schließlich hier sei. Und dann kam trotzdem 3 Tage später 2 Briefe mit meinem Nutzername und meinem Passwort, das gegen meinen Willen resetet wurde.

Wann fahren ohne Führerschein? Endlich nein sagen dem Verbotswahnsinn!

Deshalb muss es doch alle Texte auch in Leichtersprache geben. Dort wird, soweit ich weiß, eh nicht gegendert.

Ich hab auch noch 2 SP, aber leider nur noch ein Kabel, sonst hätte ich dir eins geschickt.

If windows ships curl, then it’s easy!

It’s quite weird actually: You vote for a party and a local candidate. The local candidate get’s into parlament directly while the rest of parlament is filled proportionally to the general cast vote if they manage to get over 5% of the votes (this does not apply to direct winning candidates or recognized minority representing parties). With parliament resizing to accomodate for at least your direct candidates to represent your percentage. Which always made me wonder, if everyone votes for just Party A’s direct candidates, but they get 0% of the general vote, would all other parties then have to get infinite extra positions? That would result in an infinitely big parliament, which basically means every citizen is now in parliament, and kinda get’s around the fight over universal basic income, right?
