What is wild to me: That is more range than a state of the art Tomohawk cruise missile.

This is correct. They won ~43% of the vote in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. It is also worth mentioning that the population in that state is tiny, just 2.1 million people.

I'm not here to be an AfD apologist. I think a lot of their rhetoric is awful. However, in German constitutional law, there is a very high bar to ban a political party. In defense of the German Constitution, I think it is a good thing that there is a very high bar. If the bar was low, it could easily be abused.

Two important facts:

    > Under Article 21, Paragraph 2 of Germany’s Basic Law (Constitution), a party can only be banned if it actively seeks to undermine or abolish the free democratic basic order or threaten the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany.

    > Proving the Whole Party is Extremist: Courts require proof that the entire party—not just individual members or radical factions—is systematically anti-constitutional.

Also, it incredibly rare to ban political parties in Germany.

    > In the history of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Federal Constitutional Court has banned only two political parties:
    > Socialist Reich Party (SRP) (Sozialistische Reichspartei): A neo-Nazi and far-right party considered a successor to the Nazi Party, banned in 1952.
    > Communist Party of Germany (KPD) (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands): A Stalinist party, banned in 1956.

Whenever I see Alice Weidel, I see a wolf in sheep's clothing. It is pretty genius that AfD selected her as head of the party. She provides a thin veneer of suitability over a horrible underbelly.

This article feels like a nothing burger. Here is the opening sentence from the Wiki page about Ethoxyquin[1]:

    > Ethoxyquin (EMQ) is a quinoline-based antioxidant used as a food preservative in certain countries and originally to control scald on pears after harvest (under commercial names such as "Stop-Scald").

It is still approved in the United States to treat pears after their harvest to prevent "scald" (browning of the skin). Also, it looks hit or miss if US or EU/Europe allows it. We can go back and forth with a list of food-related chemicals that US allows but EU/Europe does not (and vice versa).

Why is this downvoted? Who are these weirdos? This is a good question.

No, it is much more diverse than that. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_countries_by_mineral_...

No, Boeing does final assembly in Zhoushan, China for 737s. Airbus does final assembly in EU (Hamburg, Toulouse), US (Alabama), Canada, and China (Tianjin).

China is only 11.5% of world gold production (from mines).

Why did you go three times? It is overpriced. Diving in Indonesia is much cheaper, and is less affected by bleaching.

You are missing the point. The GP wrote "half". Utter bullshit. Sure, maybe one new on-ramp is missing... but half? And how many new interchanges is Austin building per year? I guess two at max.

    > half the interchanges weren't on Google Maps because they were built so recently

Uh, bullshit? It takes more than a year to build a modern interchange. Plenty of time for Google to update its maps. Can you provide a couple example satellite photos of the interchanges that are not yet mapped by Google?

Did you get a refund and/or bonus credits for future rides?

Do you feel the same when you see the level of automation in a modern factory? I doubt it.

    > Never

I don't know to respond to such a silly hyperbole.

    > not having their certifications recognised.

The same happens when bakers move from one rich EU country to another. (The Financial Times has written a few articles about it.) I'm not here to dump on the EU, but cross-border recognition of credentials is an insanely complex topic.

It is interesting that you chose "laying tile" as similar to the other jobs. I reject that idea. Some of the earliest specialization of labour is anything in the trades, and can probably be traced back to central European guilds from more 500 years ago.

You raise a good point: It is important to separate the logical and emotional concerns. I think the previous poster is concerned that the emotional side receives so little attention on these forums.

Weirdly, this has parallels with soldiers in military conflicts. For generations, we only focused on their physical health. Today's modern militaries are much more concerned about the mental health of their soldiers during and after combat.

Not to troll here, but if we asked taxi drivers across the world, few will probably have "utilitarian capitalist views". People in tech have those views because they align with their economic incentives.

    > I can and do still take Lyfts and Ubers when I need to - it's cheaper for anything involving the highway

Is there something particular that makes Waymo so expensive for expressway driving?

Did you feel the same when mass automation came to manufacturing?

Honestly, I wonder how much money she gave up? I would need to be "post-economic" before I could do something like that.

Unless you are doing trivial boolean comparisons, I always prefer a custom assert function that will also print a useful error message. Just telling me "Assertion failed: index < container.size()" isn't very helpful. What were the values compared?

Instead, my custom asset function (in C) looks like this:

    > void AssertWF(bool assertResult, char *format, ...)

Example:

    > AssertF(index < container.size(), "index:%d < container.size():%d", index, container.size());

If the first parameter is false, a detailed error message is printed:

    > fputs("Assert failed: ", stderr);
    > vfwprintf(stderr, format, ...);
    > abort();

The bottom of the README has instructions to run locally and self-host.

Looks good to me.

Many Linux drivers (ethernet, gfx, wifi) use closed source binary blobs. Linus has said many times that he is fine with it.

    > > TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, Measured Boot
    > Also all impractical for most linux users.

TPM 2.0 has been common for 8+ years. Many Linux distros support Secure Boot out of the box. I don't understand your concerns here. What am I missing?

    > Northern Minerals is an interesting case. (Disclaimer: I'm a shareholder and keep a close eye what is going one)

I checked the historical stock price. It has been a penny stock for more than 10 years. Why do you own this stock?

I'm curious to learn more, and I'm sorry for your loss. Did he always struggle with relationships? It does seems like people with good relationships (friends, family, lovers, etc.) have a much higher quality of life. Yet, for many men, it is very hard to build and maintain these.

Ukraine recieves 80B EUR in aid each year from various international partners. There is plenty of support.

You can learn more from a German, independent, non-profit research institute (Kiel) here: https://www.kielinstitut.de/research/topics/war-against-ukra...

Did you consider voluteering with the Ukraine Army to be a drone pilot? There are many jobs that are far from the zero line, so very little risk of death/injury. Also, from everything that I read, most people cherish the friendships they build during time of war. There are few things that bring together men fighting a common enemy.
