Ich weiß nicht, ob das die Regierung lähmen würde oder ob es eher hilfreich ist, wenn jede Partei den Willen der eigenen Wähler durchzusetzen versucht - ohne Koalition. Was dann bei fehlendem Mehrheiten nicht möglich wäre.

Ich sage ja nicht, dass man nicht kompromissbereit sein sollte, aber die SPD erscheint immer ihre eigenen "Werte" (was auch immer davon übrig ist) zu verraten und der Mehrheitsbeschaffer der Union zu sein.

    Ich bin koalitionstreu, aber wir sollten uns schon noch mal fragen, ob das sinnvoll ist

    Übersetzt: Wir werden dem mit ganz viel Bauchschmerzen trotzdem zustimmen.

    Wie haben die Rettungskräfte denn den Fahrer geborgen?

    Der hat sich wahrscheinlich noch selbst geborgen oder die Tür von innen geöffnet, die ist dann zugefallen und/oder das Auto hat sich nach längerer Inaktivität selbst abgeschlossen.

    I'm sorry to say this, but this is survivorship bias. We produced plenty of crap that broke a few months after use even 50 years ago, it's just that you don't notice the crap because it was thrown away after it broke and all you see now is the stuff that surprisingly made it for decades. That's not to say that enshittification and planned obsolescence is not a thing, it's just not as extreme and "we used to build things that lasted" as people would like to believe.

    Anecdotally, for me biking with studded tires on an icy road feels more comfortable and grippy than biking in autumn on wet leafs. It's crazy how much of a difference studded tires make in these conditions and how easy it is to adapt to them.

    Someone made a game out of this:
    https://beatthecouch.com/

    You're trying to beat the couch by supposedly in an informed way selling and buying from the S&P500. The couch just holds its money in the S&P500 and does nothing. Only about 10% of players outperform the couch.

    It's made with real data from the last ~ 100 years but only shows you the trend of the price, not the years.

    The only people who could afford them already have human servants. They just want sex dolls.

    Not to burst your bubble, but they don't want dolls. That's a service that was originally provided by Epstein, now whoever has become his successor.

    I have 6 for personal use, which makes accounting so much easier. I assign a budget at the beginning of the month and at any time I have a good overview of how much I spent for that duration.
    To illustrate, this is how I split my accounts:

    • personal expenses
    • household budget / groceries. This one's a shared account with my GF
    • savings
    • credit card
    • rent / utilities. Pay in a fixed amount each month, slightly higher than average spending and then not get shafted when insurance or a high electricity bill is due.
    • work travel. This one is the exception. It's empty unless I travel somewhere for work, then I top it up and at the end I copy and paste all my expenses from this account for travel reimbursement

    I spend less than 15 minutes each month on accounting and the only downside is that I have to set up several budgets and carry a round several cards to pay with. Once a year I go through the accounts and adjust budgets if necessary.

    In the future, and they’re not too distant future mind you, the technology will finally advance to the point where we can begin to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. But we’re not there yet and we’re not talking governments and people into giving up their jobs and lifestyle until we can offer them technology but doesn’t require that. That’s just a simple fact

    We've had this technology for decades already. Trains / Buses for transportation, local bikes, solar and wind power for electricity. Sure, this wasn't 100% carbon neutral and still is not, but we've had the opportunity to heavily reduce our fossil fuel dependence for decades without compromising on lifestyle.

    In all of this Mercedes had some mechanical problems as well. Russel DNFed twice so far through no fault of his own and scored no points in Monaco because of the arguably faulty pitlane speeding measurement and subsequent penalties that shouldn't have been applied. Antonelli didn't score twice due to mechanical failures.

    Hamilton is super consistent in scoring high-to-mid point finishes, but if Mercedes irons out their mechanical problems they are going to win both driver's and constructors championship this year.
