Randler posted:I still find occassional blood splatters from my last Kreislaufkollaps-induced impact with the floor, so I hope all these American "Kreislaufkollaps is a myth" gentlemen enjoy the go-getter nature of America and its very affordable and leistungsorientiertes Gesundheitssystem.  Years ago I had some kind of Kreislaufepisode or something when getting out of the shower and ended up face-first on the bathroom floor. Scared the absolute gently caress out of me, probably had a concussion but my dumb FOtB rear end didn't go to the doctor at the time.

Just lol if you don't stretch your vacations from 6 to a minimum of 10 weeks per year by generously calling in sick. Imagine not calling in sick at the slightest feeling of discomfort, lmao.

Last time I was forced to go to Berlin in took about 30 minutes until I saw somebody just pissing right on the sidewalk in broad daylight, and there there was a lingering piss odor in other places as well. Not sure whether it's a lack of public toilets or Berliners just loving to piss on things, but it sure was noticeable.

I know this isn’t the language thread but when did Y become I in words like “hain”? I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin that calls itself Kirchhayn. It was probably named around 1843.

Because it might just be a thing about central stations. Bremen Hauptbahnhof greets visitors to the city with a lovely odor of piss and smoke from the asshat smokers crowding all the exits. Hamburg used to be the same.

https://twitter.com/AaronBastani/status/1584641718049464320 Ok, so I've noticed that there are some increasingly apocalyptic commentary on the state of the European economy and predictions about Europe being turned into some kind of wasteland in the next few years, and its a talking point popular among an eclectic group of people who seem to swarm around ideologies like isolationist American nationalism, European nationalism (often of the fascist variety), pro-Russian triumphalism and Tankie inclined Leftism. Like this guy wrote the book 'Fully Automated Luxury Communism' which seemed to be popular with Leftists for a while so he's not nobody. I know that the next few years will be tough, but is there much value in predicting the end of Europe as an economic power like I'm seeing these people do? Crossposting this from the Ukraine thread since it directly concerns Germany.

Before 1901 there were no codified spelling rules for the German language, so it’s probably just that somebody felt like writing it with a y on the day the name was decided.

Taking GDP at face value is already bad economics. Europe is going to go into recession, which should be obvious as long as industry depends on carbon fuels. That's a hit to global competitiveness compared to regions sitting on top of ample fossil fuel supplies. But that's not the end all be all of economics, and there are plenty of other factors than just energy costs that are relevant to industry.

The elevators at the Ostbahnhof had constant issues because people would piss inside them / at them. To the point where the electronics in the pit would stop working. Also, try to convince an elevator technician to go into the elevator pit to fix things when it’s reeking.

Hot drat, I just remembered I put my TV and my consoles on a Kippschalter for that reason! I have to remember to actually use that thing more in the future Hopper posted:Yeah they find all kinds of ways to circumvent the standby rule. Don't leave anything on standby. The only thing that needs to be on 24/7 is your DSL Modem, if you have a land line phone attached. The exception is if you go on holiday, of course. My cat doesn't need internet or phone, so I'll cruelly switch off another Kippschalter that kills the Modem while I'm gone. My neighbor who takes care of my cat when I'm gone also doesn't need my internet/phone either, so all is good! Edit: One of my aunts takes this to the extreme, if she leaves the apartment for more than a couple hours, she'll even open the breakers and rip out the physical cables from the sockets, until only the fridge is left running. Antigravitas posted:Losing my data would be extremely catastrophic. That's basically my life's worth of creative output, photos, code, etc. I outsourced data storage to Google. It only costs me ca. 2 bucks per months and it keeps my own energy bill down. (Plus it's less work than dealing with data storage myself. I have a new SSD lying around somewhere for months now, always too lazy to actually put it into my PC. That's the level of competence you can expect from me.) Hopper posted:Anyone who goes to work while actually unwell is an idiot. A couple of the last weeks were nuts at work, and I did this to not lose any more hours after multiple OPs plus Covid this year. Of course I promptly got karmic revenge when my Erkältung turned into a nasty Husten that wouldn't let me sleep, so now I'm at home shoveling antibiotics anyway. So yeah, don't work if you're ill. (Also I think another colleague who did the same thing was the one who actually infected me, for some reason bosses never take infection spread into account when they tell you to just power through your little sniffles.) Goa Tse-tung posted:nobody has any idea what will happen, that guy got 300 likes on a bad post, who care the data is also wrong, Germany had rising GDP until very recently, and our stagnation auf extremely hohem Niveau is predicted to end at something ridiculous like minus 0,2-0,4% at the end of 2022 basically, that right end of the graph is fully made up, as according to the time line at the bottom it for some reason thinks our GDP started dropping late 2021/early 2022 and then just went on dropping, the exact opposite of what happened

No mention if it was spelled differently before that, but Kirchhayn was likely founded by Kirchhainer who wanted to sound a bit more English.

The founders of the church in Kirchhayn WI almost exclusively came from the Stettin area of Pomerania, if that makes any difference. Family names like Rusch, Gurgel, and Bintz still attend there.

The Google Datenkrake has me in its many tentacles: I'm using Google for everything: Half my emails, data storage, uploading videos on YouTube, everything I even gave them my smartphone number so they can restore my access if I lose it. All my Google-crap is then also bound to another, unrelated email account just in case my phone is lost / the number is changed But if Google wanted to, they could definitely make my life a living hell.

Exactly. It's meant to set an example. Once you do a day of decimating at the city entrance, word of your deeds will spread and lead to a reduction in traffic.
