The logo in the bottom right is from a German satirical TV show, so “fake” is a good bet (dunno though, haven’t seen it).

Republicans: “What a bad and unprepared debate that was! He didn’t even get to the part about how life begins at conception and guns are more important than children!”
The Nintendo Switch has the port at the bottom with the connector built into the dock. IMO a better solution, particularly for playing handheld with the cable in.
Greenwashing is a bit harsh, no? From what I’ve seen, Fairphone is fairly involved in the improvement of production processes and usage patterns of phones (fairer wages, safer/cleaner ressource extraction, long-term software support, easier repairability for a wide audience) to the extent that this is possible for a relatively small company. They haven’t always delivered on every one of these points, but have had a pretty strong record in recent years, stronger than any other company I know of. Or maybe there are other companies that do this better or similarly well?
Historians will at some point look at this comic strip as a representation of “cringe” that predates the word that later came to describe it.
Come to think of it, one thing I truly despise about the current state of AI is its verbosity. You ask the stupidest question, and the response is always some multipage essay (or longer if you ask nicely) that looks all important but is composed of 90% filler and bullshit, until it ends with “In conclusion, …” followed by the actual answer. Enough intelligence to string sentences together ad infinitum but not enough to provide actual answers that fit the question.
Well, Trump knows that RFK Jr. has some help in the ol’ thinkin’ machine.
I like the position held by NOYB: Providers of websites that show either a restricted ad-supported version or an unrestricted subscription-based version of the site should be required to offer a third option that is restricted and ad-free for a fee that equals the market value of the information sold to advertisers (usually a few cents per month and per user).
I mean, a person with a mental disability probably won’t do something like this. A narcissistic billionaire who strongly overestimates his cognitive abilities on the other hand absolutely would.
Considering that Vance’s biggest accomplishment so far is writing a best-selling book, in which he cosplays as a poor person while trashing rural Americans, this about checks out.
Oh this was a high-end model (medium-sized pan, wooden handle, cost about 200€). This is why I was so disappointed that it didn’t last very long.
Carbon steel, yes. Stainless steel, no (you can season that one too, but the coating will not stick to the pan well due to the steel’s smoother surface).
Funny enough, I made the opposite journey. Bought a LeCreuset a while back and had to toss it after 1.5 years, because the enamel started to flake off, despite great care handling/cleaning it. Replaced it with a cast iron skillet and am thoroughly enjoying its simplicity.
This is just Big Meme propaganda intended to take advantage of weak-minded people like myself.
Maybe the real artificial intelligence is the regular intelligence we found along the way.
I wish I had an explanation for that, because subjectively I feel the same.
Yes, the 2.3% increase is the inflation rate for July 2024 versus 2023. Regarding the “how is it measured”: This is an interesting topic.
Typically, inflation is measured by tracking a consumer price index (CPI) over time, which is a weighted average of prices for a wide selection of consumer goods (i.e., a typical “market basket”) and other living expenses (e.g., rent). The weights are computed on the basis of surveys, and the prices are tracked in a decentralized manner by market watchers (both online and in stores). The German federal statistics agency has a documentation for their weighting method here. They also provide a tool for computing a personalized inflation rate that is adjusted to someone’s individual consumer behavior.
One interesting part about rent is that it typically reduces estimated inflation rates when they receive a large weight in the computation, because large rent increases happen only when people move to a new apartment (which happens relatively rarely, so the impact of rent increases on yearly inflation is often relatively low). There are also other indices that use different weights and track different goods and services, so the inflation rate will be different for those.
Yeah, but can the 6am friends stay up all night browsing increasingly obscure websites, while reflecting on the poor state of the world and feeling helpless to change anything?
I think not.
I’ve never had Mountain Dew, but I always imagined it would taste like shower gel or shampoo. The scents/flavors even have similar names.
