Debian sid is in the middle of a transition to 64 bit timestamps on 32 bit architectures. This requires a bump in all packages and an inconsistent repository is to be expected during this migration. Don't use dist-upgrade and always carefully read what apt is about to do.

See: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2024/02/msg00005.html and https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/03/msg00092.html

Also, consider the following best practices when using sid: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable#What_are_some_best_practices_for_testing.2Fsid_users.3F

How about you travel there and bring whatever you have?

Or maybe just start by reflecting why you even felt the need to state your original comment and think 'yeah this is a nice and productive thing to say, that will help for sure'.

It seems like easy talk to imply people in Africa can just go die of thirst as you think their water now belongs to the elephants, all from the comfort of your chair thousands of kilometers away while your country is contributing a thousand times more to the destruction of the world than they ever will. And I can state this with fair certainty as pretty much every country in the world is doing worse. What was even the point of your comment? How about you give them your water as they deserve it more?

Pretty sure it's not poor people living in poor African countries that are destroying the world either.

Isn't the fine for the traffic violation? The compensation from a civil lawsuit will follow I presume.

This makes sense in my opinion. Violating traffic rules should result in the same fine regardless of whether you hit someone or not (like drunk driving isn't more OK just because you got lucky and didn't happen to hit anyone). But if you do hit someone, expect to compensate all costs and damages to that person or family on top of the fine (that goes to the state).

That said, I wish traffic violations would be fined much more harshly. Also if you didn't hit anyone during your reckless behaviour.
