My man, have you heard about this new miracle technology called noise cancelling headphones?


gently caress noise cancelling headphones! I have tried some (expensive) ones and whatever frequency they are using is unbearable and makes me sick after a short while. It's like sitting in an ever rising plane and you cannot swallow to make your ears pop.

Happy for those that can use them, though. You lucky fuckers.

it's not the frequency, it's the air pressure trapped in your ears, should be bearable if you keep your mouth open for a while

No, it's not a problem when they're turned off. And I am using some closed (non noise cancelling) headphones for my PC that are fine too.

I have to agree with Simon too. I am not sure in which claustrophobic, overcrowded hell holes some of you seem to live, but I live in one of the bigger cities in Germany (well, top ten, anyway) and the streets are really really empty right now. I had to bring my car to inspection this week and while enjoying the one hour walks back home and to the Werkstatt I have met less people on the street than I can count on one single hand. Also went to two different malls this week with my GF and even inside of them everything was so empty that you had enough space for very comfortable social distancing and being safe even without a mask. Still, everybody was wearing them, and I fully support that. Some of your expectations and/or experiences seem to be crassly different than mine and I have no idea who is wrong on this or if we are all right.



Have to agree with it is too soon to get rid of the restrictions, though. That poo poo seems stupid.

it's funny how everybody says we won't go back to normal and yet we are doing exactly that. The only time we can have back our normal is when either 100% of us are reliably vaccinated or the disease is fully exterminated which both isn't likely to happen in less than a years time.

Well, third option is like 70%+ of us being infected and toughing it out. If we are being very pragmatic, this would be the quickest way through this. This would mean the highest death toll, of course.

I wouldn't call this "pragmatic". Pragmatic would be if we look at the available evidence from past pandemics and siehe da, nations hit by the Spanish Flu who decided to "toughen it out" got hit worse and took longer to recover. But your post is right if you replace "very pragmatic" with "very stupid"
Chill, dude. I am not suggesting doing that.

my girlfriend works for an American multinational, whose CEO sent an email on Friday afternoon saying that vacation days are a now a financial liability, that everyone has to take 10 vacation days in may/june and that no one would continue to accrue vacation days after June lmao

apparently none of the HR offices in the various countries were informed, so the German HR office scrambled to check this today and of course this can't be done in Germany, so the vacation days stay as they are.

man it must be hosed to work in the US.

Yeah, I too work in an US multinational corporation and we went through that whole dance two months ago. As much as Kurzarbeit sucks, lol if you work in the states; you're literally hosed when it comes to having any rights as an employee.

Okay, so last week I caved and bought the car i wanted to buy for the last half a year. Felt a bit bad since the dude was so desperate to sell and he reduced his price by almost 7k.

Luckily I was able to reserve a Termin at the Kfz-Zulassungsstelle online for this Wednesday, i was mentally prepared to pay €200 for a Zulassungsdienst.

I bought a Jahreswagen almost exactly one year ago. The sales guy was so smug/the demand was so high, that he would not even drop a single cent from the asking price. I wonder how much I could've saved if I had waited till this year.

More than 100 euro would be insane for a Zulassungsdienst. If you buy the car from a Händler they usually have a Zulassungsdienst on call that offers low rates due to bulk orders. The Nissan dealership where my dad works takes 70 euro for the Zulassungsdienst.

As I bought my car last year Mercedes gracefully offered to take care of the Zulassung for me at the low low price of several hundred Euros. I laughed all the way to the Zulassungsstelle.

I know what Ephex means. I pretty much did the same thing last year. I have owned several cars over the years, but they were all simply Gebrauchsgegenstände, with no emotional attachment at all. The new car makes me happy on some level no car did before. :shrug:
