Not just the roof rack. The whole car is probably close to the max allowed weight.

The container is seemingly at around 60%, so 600L. Gas is ~25% lighter than water, so we're looking at something like 450kg.

I don't know the model, but a lot of similar or even bigger cars max out at +500kg (per specification). Most cars have less allowance.

And this is just on the roof. Not counting the container, passengers and other stuff.

Truly a marvel of engineering.

They understand the theories and underlying principles, but the sheer amount of data makes it impossible to actually verify it.

An ELI5 comparison would be a hill of stones: you know when you throw more stones onto it, a "landslide" will occur and rearrange the hill. For a very small hill of 10 stones you may even be able to know input and output ("if I throw a stone there, the stones will be like this after the landslide"). But you cannot predict the same for a hill of 1000000 stones, even tho the "rules" are the same. You know what will happen, but you have no way to predict the outcome, or verify that everything went as expected.

The theory / math is not the problem. The scale is.

Ja, dann ist natürlich die Antwort darauf, auf deiner Monopolstellung zu beharren, anstatt daran zu arbeiten, dass deinen Fahrgästen das nicht passiert.

Passagieren steht bei Ausfall schon jetzt zu, sich alternativ befördern zu lassen (grob gesagt). Das muss dann eben ausgeweitet werden. Wenn eine DB Bahn ausfällt, sollten sie eben die Fahrt mit der Konkurrenz bezahlen.

If valve loses this, they will clamp down on their features.

Because why would they provide infrastructure for free when the developer sells keys for less somewhere else?

If you expect them to provide storefront, infrastructure and community integration for free, I don't think they will.

Ich denke, dass es sich dabei um eine nachträglich bereit gelegte Begründung, für die ursprünglich sehr wohl als Beleidigung gemeinte Aussage, handelt.

Wenn mich jemand für eine Bekleidung vor Gericht ziehen würde, würde ich auch nach plausiblen Begründungen suchen um einer Verurteilung vllt zu entgehen.

Gott bewahre wir verbessern mal die Zukunftsaussichten in diesem Land.

The formerly richest man on the planet believes capitalism will pass the benefits of AI to all of us.

Ha ha

Conservative lawmakers are furious about everything. All the time. It's their trademark. If they weren't furious, they would be furious over not being furious.

Our conservatives, with the help of our so called social democrats, stopped almost all investments into infrastructure, housing, education, defense... basically everything, over the last 20 years. So now we have unaffordable housing, crumbling infrastructure, bad and expensive public transport and telecommunication, paired with sky high taxes and an overburdened and under-financed healthcare and retirement system. Income is taxed, wealth isn't. And because of demographics the only thing parties care about is raising retirement payments - adding fuel to the doomed system. The economy is slowing down, and nothing is done against it (tax cuts of course, and watering down the laws against tax evasion). The working class is disappearing because the only thing they ever can imagine is to raise taxes to finance these increasingly inefficient and unfair systems.

While some of their party members wasted literally billions of taxpayer money, they are now blaming some absolute minorities (unwilling unemployed, and foreigners of course), and try to squeeze money out of them.

They (Merz especially) have no plan for the country. . Like, at all. The only plan was to get into power.

Oh, and the Nazis are back, and our conservatives play "wait and see". Fucking happy times, everyone.

The claim to have "nothing to hide" was not just born our of ignorance, but also out of comfort - to not having to do anything about it.

Now that even the last one accepted that they do indeed have something to hide, but in order to justify their own inaction, it's labeled as inevitable: privacy is not real.

They are lying to themselves, because doing otherwise would mean they have to admit being wrong.

The same people couldn't wear a face mask to save the lives of their relatives.

Unfortunately the actual enjoyability of a job more often than not correlates with unfair or outright low pay :(
