So basically we are seeing the first signs of Russia’s economy’s collapse.

German word for stream and informal one for electricity

If he is then he’s doing so in Germany. So his actions are not necessarily an inspiration for those in the USA

Compared to anual damages caused by climate change 2 billion is relatively small too. And the gap will widen every passing year, but that doesn’t bother the majority.

Ah well you know this history teacher from Hessia that is called Bernd or was it Björn? Yeah he is a bit picky on which parts of history he likes and looks at.

“Import” people? Keep your racist ass rethoric off Lemmy

Beyerdynamic still produces some of their headphones in Germany. Granted, that doesn’t necessarily make them more reliable. But spealing from experience (have a gaming headset for 7 years now), they have excellent customer service and repair your headphones in Germany swiftly (and in my case free of charge as well as providing new softening)

For longevity purposes the storage needs to be permanent so no USB-Sticks or SSDs

I was aware that Yandex is omnipresent in Russia. The scale of outage and its effects are way bigger than I’d have thought though.

It should however also serve as an example on how we should prepare for server outages and data loss

They think it will be different this time.

That applies to the opposition as well. Which is why fascists can come into power another time

Tell me you don’t know shit about a country and are an arrogant pos without telling me, speedrun any%

I am a subscriber of one of the largest German newspapers, arguably the most investigative daily newspaper in Germany. They are from Munich though, half of their news app is full of irrelevant Oktoberfest content at the moment - and I live as far away from Munich as one can live within German borders, I hate it

Probably also partly due to the severe limitation of exportable product due to Ukrainian drone ops

I think there’s also the layer that white wines that are good tend to be expressionate with unique expressive flavours. Red wines are generally more reserved and more settled and subtle. Their flavour does not show immidiatly but rather as you let it breath

I think there really are two loud groups at work here. The first being people that know how the DB used to be (always on time whatever the weather, though this is also heavily influenced by rose-tinted glasses, survivor bias and nostalgia) and secondly people that like to hate on Germany (Germans that mostly hate modern Germany as they themselves are from 1933 and those that see the DB as an opportunity to smear some dirt on the label of German efficiency). Now I presume that, like with everything nowadays that is happening online, there’s a lot of propaganda and lobbying involved.

But to be fair, it is frustrating to be late when you have no influence on it. In the car at least you get the idea that you have some influence on your delay, false as that feeling may be.

The problem with the high workload of the train infrastructure is also one of the reasons for the amount of roadworks in Germany. Germany simply has the highest traffic in Europe overall. Partly because it is the largest economy, but also because it is located right the center of the EU. A lot of cross border traffic will cross Germany.

Look, whether Russia actually tries attacking a NATO member or not depends on NATO’s ability to show it is unified and well prepared.

Russia is already testing our ability to defend ourselves. They regularily violate our airspace on purpose to see how long it takes for our response. They drop drones in the Baltic, fly a squadron of fighters into Estonia. They keep sabotaging and terrorising in NATO. They keep threatening us with nukes if we don’t immidiatly stop supplying arms to Ukraine. This is how they started in Ukraine prior to 2014’s incursion of “little green men”. If we aren’t ready, then I fear that a few “little green men” have their summer vacation in Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania. NATO doesn’t fear an outright attack. It fears a small scale attack by a Russia that believes we lack the cohesion and means to properly respond. One such small incursion would need to be properly met, that is why NATO needs to be well prepared.

You aware he’s likely Danish? US exceptionalism at work even in this argument

The leader of the German far right is a lesbian whose wife is from Pakistan

I know judges that are denied loans for a house in the most rural part of Germany.

A mercedes takes that much sun damage in that short of a time? I live in northern Europe so I don’t have much experience with sun damage. But that looks like a lack of cleaning to me
