  • Elon Musk says DOGE probably won’t find $2 trillion in federal budget cuts

    Jump

  • It will hit whatever annoys him, his companies and that extends to everybody who kisses his ring sufficiently.

    But yes, social and worker protections probably match that criteria.

  • I think he isn't getting a salary, apart from whatever gains he reaps by removing roadblocks for his companies.

  • As Elon Musk Promotes Far-Right German Party, EU Politicians Suggest Shutting Off X's Algorithm

  • Starlink, in some places in Germany is the only usable option. We have shitty infrastructure.

  • Free contraception helps Finland reduce teenage abortions by 66%

    Jump

  • With the drift to the right, not going to happen. They promised their corporate sponsors free, somewhat uneducated labour which sorta requires unwanted pregnancies.

  • German electric vehicles sales collapse in 2024 after end of subsidy

    Jump

  • "Electric models represented 13.5% of all new registrations, down from 18.4% in 2023."

    "30% less in 2024 than 2023." sounds less dramatic.

    So? No one cares about the German car market. Germany has about 4% of the worldwide market in cars overall, if we decide to dig down and go back to the good old times it barely makes a bump in about any graph.

  • When you entered the scene before epoch 0 I guess it is.

  • I've started rinsing my coffee cup out after I'm done to prevent dried on coffee that the dishwasher can't get.

    Jump

  • I've found that a quick spin on the lathe every six months or so is totally sufficient. It's usually time when I start to notice that the remaining volume is down to one or two espressos and the cup is able to provide a good cup of Joe despite only receiving hot water.

    Yes I am kidding.

    But yes, for science I've also cleaned a stainless steel cup that way.

  • Almost 1,000 cars set ablaze during New Year celebrations in France

    Jump

  • Or any other day of the year. I can't imagine someone who actually had to work for, say, 20k€ doing that.

  • I miss my tools

    Jump

  • Finally built a house after moving through about ten apartments. The only way I'm leaving this place is feet first. Moving three times is like burning down once.

  • The best “I told you so”s are the ones where you never have to say “I told you so” because the other person clearly knows you told them so

    Jump

  • I think that's those places where the asphalt changes quality and the streetlights start to look different.

  • I never realized this

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what people do here in Germany.

  • So, just do what a few couples in my circle of friends did and use her last name after marriage?

  • Why are Nordic companies so successful?

    Jump

  • But instead they seem to be held back by the kind of conservative who believes technological progress is impossible

    Well - rather by a LOT of people that for some reason feel personally attacked by change and cling to whatever the old thing was like a kid that won't have their plushie be put in the washer.

  • Bargaining

    Jump

  • Yep, that's how I know by now a depressive episode is coming on.

    Recognizing them earlier helps me to give myself a mixture of slack and forced "that's good for you so do it fucker" that usually gets me through them quicker and with less collateral damage than just waiting them out.

  • Elon Musk backs far-right AfD in 'Die Welt' op-ed

    Jump

  • I for one enjoy the current display that looks a lot like complete loss of self-control from the outside. However, I fear we might come to learn that it won't have any impact whatsoever.

  • Elon Musk backs far-right AfD in 'Die Welt' op-ed

    Jump

  • Welt is just Bild for people with three cars.

  • Wait a minute...

    Jump

  • Same way I am currently suffering under an acute shortage of Porsche Taycans.

  • Exclusive: Russian missile caused Aktau crash, investigation confirms

  • What a great way to achieve peace…

    Technically, yes.

  • Hm, nah, I meant these:

    Not great, because if they change temperature a lot or are over torqued they lose pressure after a while.

    Those wire nuts look even worse though, do they just screw on top of twisted wire ends to isolate them somewhat?
