Year, the 40+ part is the problem here,or the need to work such hours as a new parent. The Feature freaks people out, rightfully because the underlying issue is so absurd.

Every generation should finance their own retirements. Fluctuating population will lead to few having to finance many. This is the state of affairs in Germany, where old people live in both huge places and are paid pensions which will be unreachable for the younger generation.

I live in a village with many single family houses from the 70s and 80s. The people living here are old and are either not capable or willing to invest in their homes Understandable in my opinion. Why invest if you know you'll die in 10 years...

What I wished would happen that older people would downsize. It is common for older people to live in their 7 room house they build for their entire family of 5. Children all grown up and in different cities, house not maintained and only partially heated.

Feels like pragmatism dies before the rest. Just move to a smaller apartment and give the house meant for families back to families ...

Bug on a cucumber (discuss.tchncs.de)

This bug lives on my cucumber in central Germany (vine region). Should I do something about them?

Now I am reading everything alout with my inner voice instead of just skipping over it. I've entered manual reading mode. Great. Thanks.

Almost all screens facing the wrong direction indicates that the computer doesn't know how a computer is operated.

The list lacks neutrino males and potentially dark matter males.

Though penetration depth somewhat correlates with the ability to detect said penetration, right?

So after a minute of trying to parse this, I assume his dog is named commander? Or did Joe bidens dog commander, I. E. A person who commands dogs, bite his colleagues?

Isn't that literally what the nazis did? Block decision making by walking out of the Reichstag when they were in the oposition?

It's so weird for me that he seemed surprised that benzos are, in fact, highly addictive with severe withdraw symptoms. Isn't he a psychologist and potentially someone who is allowed to prescribe such drugs?

USB-C (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello,

This does not directly relate to android or android devices but as this seems to be one of the more active communities, I thought I should give it a shot here.

I'm Wondering why the USB C socket and plug have the geometry they have. To me, it seems like the more complex hardware is located in the socket which is located on the more expensive device compared to the cable. Firebolt (is that the apple standard's name?) seem to handle it the opposite by having the flat plug with bare contacts.

Background is that I have frequently had issues with charging my phone due to dust or other dirt getting suck in the socket. Lacking adequate household items, I had to use a small screw driver to get the dirt out, which I think in general a bad idea.

Are there any technical reasons to have the flat contact in the center of the usb socket rather than the plug?

The stupidity of the post is so attractive though. Perfect nerd click bait.
