Cool experiments to do with milk teeth?
  • That's what we call them in German. Milchzähne. I'm guessing because they develop while you're still drinking your mother's milk?

  • Die meisten Unfälle mit Fußgängern sind aber von Autos verursacht. Nicht von Fahrrädern. Und bei den Autos sind die Konsequenzen auch bedeutend schlimmer.

    not the result she hoped for
  • Never heard it in that context.

    And still, if you make political memes, maybe give at least some context? E.g. the country you're talking about? Or why that would be funny(?)

    Poompkins.
  • The EU has an area of 4.234.564km². Texas 695.621km².

    So Texas is a mere 16,4% of the EU.

    In what world is that "most of the EU"?

    What are some good somewhat older smartwatches that have a heart rate sensor and work with modern versions of Android?
  • Definitely withings. I have had a steel HR for 2,5 years now and I still love it. You can buy any standard wristband that you like and the battery lasts a month. It's also waterproof so no worries there. Plus I like the more traditional look, so it still looks good when wearing a bit more formal clothes.

    [DE] In München steht jetzt ein Windrad-Zähler von Greenpeace, um allen noch mal klar zu zeigen, dass Söder nur heiße Luft produziert. Zielvorgabe sind 104 Windräder pro Jahr....LOL....
  • Weil Haushalte nur einen sehr kleinen Bruchteil der Gesamtenergie verbrauchen. (Haushalte 27%, Industrie 44%, Handel etc. 26%, Verkehr 2%).

    Außerdem hast du offensichtlich ein Eigenheim, wenn du ne PV Anlage auf dem Dach hast? "Nur" knapp 28% der Leute wohnen in einem Eigenheim. Alle anderen in Wohnungen. Da ist also auch nochmal deutlich weniger Dachfläche im Vergleich zur Bewohneranzahl verfügbar.

    Ja PV ist im Vergleich zum Initialen Aufwand sehr sinnvolle. Braucht halt aber Fläche. Und die hast du in Städten nun Mal nicht. Dann lieber um die Städte zusätzlich noch Windkraftanlagen, die auch im Winter vernünftig Strom produzieren können.

    Briefwahl beantragen - Warum so einfach?
  • In dem Fall könnte diese Person wahrscheinlich trotzdem wählen, dann müsste aber im System nachgeschaut werden, welche Wahlunterlagen fälschlicherweise weggeschickt wurden (die haben alle jeweils ne eigene Kennnummer) und genau diese Nummer wäre dann als gesperrt im Briefwahllokal vermerkt. Beim auszählen würde dann genau dieser falsche Brief rausgefischt werden und als ungültig erklärt werden.

    Upvoting a factually incorrect comment because it sounds nice, and downvoting a factually correct comment because it sounds bad.
  • I do. But I still live in the south, and my work is outside the city, to the north west of it, to be exact.

    The average is 40 minutes commute time (for my city). So I'm already quite a bit off.

    And yes, of course, if I lived in the south east of the city it would take me 1,5 hours at least by public transport. 40-60 minutes by car on average. But I wouldn't move there, as that is too far off.

    But most of these other possible places would mean, that I would most probably also always have to drive through the city center or take a big detour outside of it. Both possibilities aren't actually preferable. So again I wouldn't live there and at the same time work at the same company.

    I just need to look at one of my brothers. Lives relatively close to the center but still a bit south of it. Could take 2 subways in 30 minutes (including walking) but still decides to take the car most days where he has to drive through heavy traffic, that takes him at least the same amount of time.

    So no, a lot of people aren't that sensible. They just do what they are used to and often enough even vehemently go against even the possibility of changing that with weird as excuses (smells terrible weird people, always packed, always delayed etc.) Which for most times of day and most routes just isn't true.

    Just take a look at the available cars nowadays. You can barely even buy a smal car, as those aren't even produced in such a variety anymore. Because 1. People keep buying the big SUVs, and 2. Manufacturers can make way more money with those than with small cars.

    Hell, in Germany they are actively debating making parking spots bigger, because the cars keep getting bigger (btw look at carsized they have a great visualization for this), instead of simply reglementaing how big cars can get, before they are either forbidden or so heavily taxed that it's just not worth to buy something large.

    I wonder how many fires have been started because people left the pizza box in the oven while trying to keep it warm
  • "after everyone grabs a piece". I'm sorry what size are your pizzas that multiple people share a pizza, and take that long to eat it, that you need to keep it warm in between?

    I usually have a whole pizza for myself. Just like my friends. So everyone just has their box and usually eats out of it (depending on the setting, we might put it on plates).

    [De] Fühle mich in Berlin auf dem Rad und als Fußgänger viel zu sicher. Gut, dass die CDU das anpackt. Für eine autogerechte Stadt.
  • Um hier Mal ne andere Sicht auf die Dinge zu zeigen:

    Ich bin gerade auf dem Heimweg, von 2,5 Wochen Fahrradtour in den Niederlanden. Weißt du, was ich hier nicht gesehen habe? Fahrrad rot Fahrer. Und weißt du, woran das liegt? Dass in den meisten Städten das Fahrrad dem Auto bevorzugt wird. Du hast meistens auf Räder abgestimmte Ampelschaltungen (teilweise alle 4 Richtungen gleichzeitig und selbst das funktioniert problemlos), die Direktverbindungen von Punkt zu Punkt sind meist nur für Radfahrer zugängig, Autos müssen Umwege fahren. Und siehe da, mit vernünftiger Infrastruktur halten sich ein Großteil der Leute auch an die Regeln. Weil das brechen der Regeln fast keinen Vorteil bringt.

  • But that mostly just means that you have terrible public transport where you live. Not that it's inherintely bad.

    If I would take a car to work, it would take me at least (!) 50 minutes (depending on traffic, usually longer). With public transport plus bike I'm at 65 minutes. So just a bit longer, but delays are pretty uncommon (maybe 3 minutes every now and then). Plus I can relax, read or watch a show. And it's incredibly cheap thanks to the Deutschlandticket (49€, but 14€ of that is payed by my employer). Only for fuel (not counting insurance, tax, repairs etc.) It would cost me at least 180€.

    So yeah just this tiny delay is okay in my opinion, considering what I'm saving (money, environment, worries about a car...)

    And I never said, it's the ultimate solution. I'm just saying especially those huge as cars are a fucking monstrosity more or less. Because easily 95% of users don't even need such a huge vehicle. They just want it. And don't give a fuck what that entails for the environment and for other people. (especially looking at pedestrian and bike safety).

    More people should just really consider if the car they chose is really what they NEED and if every trip they are taking with it is truly necessary.
