The only context in which I’ve ever heard of that place is that big military cemetery.

We’re getting close to the point where “running a stock ROM” is on the same level of inadvisable as “using a web browser without ad blocking”. The latter of which was, btw, also not that big if a deal like ten or fifteen years ago.

This woman could probably afford to just buy a new house if her current one is in need of a new coat of paint, let alone if it’s suffering from mold growth. Yet she chooses to live like this.

Also, I cannot get over that look on her face. That sheer barely hidden contempt oozing from it. The superiority complex behind it. The signature look of a narcissist.

Varta is that company that maneuvered to kick out all small scale investors without compensation and hand the company over to only the big investors. The fact that this maneuver can possibly be legal is a major problem for the German and EU industry.

I wouldn’t worry about that. If they can design and build a 5 kWh home battery, they can design and build a 20 kWh home battery.

Key elements manufactured in Spain include the Battery Management System (BMS) electronics and proprietary software, plastic and metal structural components, wiring harnesses, and the cooling system. Active and passive safety devices, power connectors, power supplies, busbars, and user interface electronics are sourced from other European suppliers.

So just about everything except for the actual battery cells.

Don’t get me wrong, having the stuff made in the EU is better than nothing. But the real challenge is still the actual cells. The stuff they do produce is relatively trivial (on an industry scale) and could be spun up on short notice if needed.

I haven’t seen a real landline in a very long time. All the supposed “landline” connections in people’s homes just turn out to be VoIP connections terminating in their internet router and masquerading as a traditional telephone landline.

Hm, agree in principle, but it should also really be noted that a donation that is required to get an account (or arguably even smaller perks) does not count as a donation anymore. At that point, it’s a weasel-wordiy way to say “payment”. Which should, IMHO, not be supported.

Some of those post titles… Yikes.

Gibt auch extra Bartscheren. Die sind nicht spitz vorne und nicht gekrümmt.

Der wird ganz schön dumm gucken, wenn er aussteigt und nichts mehr wieder erkennt.

Wenigstens sind Tauben bekannt dafür, gut nach Hause finden zu können.

Die offizielle Linie, zumindest bei den Katholen, ist, so weit ich weiß, dass Du pauschal gar kein Bildnis von Gott haben sollst.

Wenn Du ein besonders talentierter Renaissance-Künstler bist, kann man dafür aber offenbar auch mal eine Ausnahme einräumen.

Call me humorless if you want (you wouldn’t be the first), but my reaction would be seriously pissed off.

Does that mean you’ll do typesetting now?
