  • My bank offers those. There are a few rules to what you can upload.

    Some make sense, like you can’t print the pin code or use the visa logo on a Mastercard.

    Others are less obvious. Tiger King wouldn’t be allowed because he’s technically a celebrity, which is not allowed.



  • Yes. Checks out. Ball sport is facism. With a ball.

    A lot of matches could be avoided if only they had more balls. The ball owner just decided to only make one ball available, so they’d fight over it and remove attention from himself. It’s like the Colosseum, where the Caesar never had to fight.

    This is the shitpost community, btw.


  • The statement is true. You have to create your own job.

    After unionizing I have noticed that there aren’t really many jobs worth applying to. Most jobs advertised are worse than what I already have.

    It’s not just about the pay. To me it’s more about the company “growing up” and acknowledging the need to balance the relationship between management and the qualified personnel, instead of viewing employees as unskilled servants.

    The reason I couldn’t find a job like that before is pretty clear. We also don’t post job openings on the web anymore. First of all we don’t have a lot of people quitting, but we also have plenty of qualified union members to choose from when we do have vacancies.

    The way I see it, unionization is primarily an upgrade for the company. It’s not just access to qualified personnel. It also cuts out a lot of the bullshit conflicts between management and employees, because there are general agreements on a lot more things.

    If they want employees to take the company serious, they need to treat their employees seriously.

    Throwing pizza parties and threatening low paid unskilled workers with arbitrary management decisions or making random bonuses and shit doesn’t achieve anything like this. It’s a complete waste of time in comparison to having a proper clear union agreement.


  • I think fertilizer production is one of those things where we already have a solution that works on renewable energy, but it’s more expensive than the conventional methods.

    It basically boils down (pun intended) to pressure cooking organic materials. This requires a lot of energy. In my opinion it would make sense to decentralize the production and make it smaller and closer to the also decentralized sources of renewable energy.

    About 50% of the price of conventional fertilizer comes from the transportation anyway, so it would make a lot of sense to make it closer to where it’s needed. This is not economically feasible with the conventional production though.

    It’s North Jutland. The g is pronounced as “ge” almost like German “geh”.

    I’m not native, and even after 15 years I sometimes still don’t understand the local dialect.

    The Norwegian Kamelåså joke about Danish is funny because its true.

    Technically they’re not even asking me to answer the statement.

    It only states that if I pick an answer then something. And I just don’t.

    The idea that you must mark an answer is only implied by it being a standard test.

    This might seem silly, but it happens in real life too. For instance:

    Please choose the correct answer to the question: Is Mitch McConnell dead or alive? Yes or no.

    The republicans have chosen not to answer that test. Can we blame them? Yes, but for what, they didn’t do anything? They are avoiding the Schrödinger paradox by choosing inaction. In some other kinds of cases it might be criminal to withhold information through inaction, but it’s always difficult to prove such a case.

    Buddhism also has a lot of these riddles, where the correct action or teaching is to not acknowledge the question.

    I know Voyager can hide “subscribed” from your “all” feed. It doesn’t do multiple custom feeds though. You could make a different user for your news feed. Switching users is as easy as switch feeds in most clients.

    The correct answer is to leave all the options unmarked.

    If you do pick an answer, then you didn’t do it randomly. When not marking the answers, the if-statement has the result of “false”, but that’s not the question.

    If your teacher then asks why you didn’t answer it, you can safely and unparadoxically claim that inaction is also an option.

    All cities are like that. Property prices and such.

    There are of course larger properties further from the centre. Munich is large enough to have a metro system, so you can still live in a big house and go to the centre without having to drive, find parking and walk from there.
