I mean people do have loved ones across distances. They also love driving cars, eating meat and many of them hate nuclear power

The point I'm trying to make here isn't necessarily that'd be easy to do, but that it would be simple to do.

In the past couple years they've pivoted hard to LLMs, and it really makes you wonder whether they value anything on the human side.

HR is just a department. They detest work much like anybody else. And most of their job is down to shifting work around. For applications, there's 2 options: either you enter your shit into the system, or they do. Guess which they choose. After that, either the computer makes a decision, or they do, guess which one they choose.

Somebody has to enter all the info into the computer. That can either be you, or it can be HR. Somebody has to make decisions about the stuff that has entered the computer and that can either be HR, or the computer that you put your shit into.

HR is hostile to employees, because it works for your employer. But HR is also hostile to your employer, because they work for them and also hate that fact, much like anybody else. Left unchecked, any given HR department will design the most atrocious application process possible, because it means less work for them, and then blame it on young people, the job market, trump, biden, what have you, anything that gets whoever employs them not to question why they can't find any people to do the job.

What I don't understand is why so many business owners trust them night unconditionally. They're materially in the same role as any other folks that work for you that do not get this privilege. Best of my guesses is they're the job cops and get treated as such through osmosis.

I don't want to spoiler but I feel like there's many hints that Kim is basically a leftist, except he just doesn't have the passion for it.

Moralism in DE is both political ideology and religion, I always got the feeling Kim is like culturally moralist in the sense that people consider themselves to be culturally christian

All the electric power could be nigh-carbon-neutral on the big scale if you just did nuclear power, that's a quarter off.

Transportation is basically just cars, planes, unelectrified train lines and not much else.

Agriculture is basically mostly down to animal products and stupid shit like growing wheat in arizona or whatever

If you were climate stalin, a 5 year plan would be enough of a timespan to knock down US Emissions by about like half.

I feel like if arms dealers aren't an acceptable target you've kind of backed yourself into a corner as per acceptable targets of protest

It feels odd to force every women in the olympics in the most skimpiest clothes before TV censors of watching countries step in, constantly zoom in on their asses and then be mad when one of them goes with it. Especially since "tasteful" nudes of olympic athletes have been a thing for forever.

Power to her, if I was that hot and just placed on the pedestal at the olympics I'd also flaunt it.

It's the Kenyan Kalendjin for marathons and then also the most noam-chomsky-as-of-today-looking rich white guy on a 10.000€ bicycle. Interesting split!

Quote by some random cycling guy in /r/de that stuck with me.

It was in response to some carbrain malding their shit over the fact that you are legally allowed to undertake cars stopped at a red light in the same lane on the right in germany, if you're on a bicycle.

A Randonneur is a long distance travel bike just for context.

The VSF stuff is usually solid, albeit entirely too heavy, but I gotta say, a randonneur in british racing green? I want one.

Just noticed I've never heard them discussed here. Surly basically invented them and called them the Corner Bars, but given it's "bits of metal pipes" you can get some without the name branding now. They're supposed to give you like a drop bar-esque experience except without changing out all the controls and most likely drivetrain, so if you ever wanted to try one, maybe this is interesting for you. You might have to readjust some cables or hydraulic lines.

I post this here because I feel like "how do I convert my flat bar into a drop bar" is a very common question in the bicycle world and while it is possible, it is often sort of not very advisable unless you like wrenching on your bike

I'm curious. I know where my life diverged and where I would've been a car guy otherwise, would be interested to see what the dealio with other people is or whether they even ever thought about it

Been meaing to post about this, this a reconstruct of some fossil in the Rhineland-Palatinate which, for obvious reasons, made quite the rounds on the german internet for a while

I mean look at it. It's great. Reportedly the scientific artists responsible for this picture was quite pleased with it getting meme'd

Correct, yes I do, stop reminding me because then I am reminded of all the times i have to hear some drivel about rules based international order, rogue states or racism from someone who doesn't

Odd sentence, ain't it, but also like half the reasoning why people keep buying ever bigger cars and trucks.

The other half is "some other schmuck thinking this will snuff me out", which, fair, but how do you not arrive at the conclusion the eternal arms race of weight and height with cars is like, super bad?

It's a bicycle, also it's a boat, also it's a camper.

One off concept vehicle for now, but you can pre-order one for 18.000€, which I can't tell if it's expensive for a bike, or like reasonable for an amphibious vehicle, or pretty good for a camper.

Here's a look at it by some youtuber

I cross the border on this and immediatly 3 different police jurisdictions get into a shootout over what kind of licenses I need to operate this thing. I am taunting them the whole way by riding in shallow water, further complicating the situation.

Man I want one.

Scholars have discussed this issue for eons, if I bolt a DshKA to a cargo bike, is it a technical? We need to find an answer

How the hell was that popular for a while with the exact same crowd that cries terrorism if a bike lane is put in. I can't get an angle on how that wasn't immediatly shouted down, it's not like 10 years ago people were less carbrained. Even via racism I can't seem to find a reasonable explanation

One of the biggest cultural shocks I had as a german was traveling to Ireland because their museums aren't like ours.

You go to a museum in germany that deals with violence and, correctly, they're all like "this sucked shit and should never be done because it was a crime against humanity"

You go to a museum in Ireland that deals with violence and they're like "We shot 10.000 english people who all deserved it and if we didn't you wouldn't be reading this. If they ever try anything again we'll shoot 100.000 of them. Fuck em!"
