Sugar is fancy now? Man my grandpa would be thrilled were he alive. There’s a colloquial term for the farm-houses of sugar beat farmers in Northern Germany, “beat castles”, as they quickly made a lot of money growing the beats in the late 19th century. When sugar became more accessible due to the processing of the beats to refined sugar. The wealth is long gone now, similarly to how salt used to be a luxury good.

I would also prefer to play on Java, however cross-platform support with Bedrock works really well. And that is actually quite the benefit. That way I can actually for once play a game with friends that are on other consoles or even on mobile.

You’re right, forgot about that one. Similar to how the Austrians like to forget there was German chancellor from Austria

IIRC there has never (or very few times) been a US president of German ancestry.

I did watch it, although I had been warned. I figured the calls of it being a musical had to be inflated - they weren’t. If you cut the singing, you’ll have about half the runtime.
That in and of itself isn’t even bad, albeit not my cup of tea. However what really annoyed me, was that NOTHING happened. It was basically a slice of psychic ward life story. One with an explosive but blue-balled ending. It was basically just the script writers trying to make Lady Gaga sing a lot - well a job well done I suppose.
It actually annoys me a lot, because the cast was great and delivered exceptionally well in their acting. The premise and setting also had a lot of potential, but what we got was more of an art-house low-budget movie with great actors but terrible script

Sadly it’s not US-only. Weather.com sued the German Federal weather service for having their app free of charge available on both app stores. The federal constitutional court ruled in weather.coms favour as the federal service infringes upon the constitutional right of property and business. It is now (rather the time I payed) 3,49€ one-time payment for having something as an app that is already being payed for my taxes. Meanwhile the danish weather service, whose I app I frequently use even though it is in Danish, is free due to their constitution being more lenient towards state services (or more socialist should I say to rile some people up)

Prevent 9/11 probably unrealistic, but you could pull the fire alarm prior to the attack and thereby save lifes

Thats were it gets tricky in reality. But not necessarily in an exam that prioritises theoretical criminal knowledge

Annoying some is thankfully not a criminal action.
- Comment on Fortnite Players Band Together to Pick on In-Game Tesla Cybertrucks: 'Destroy on Sight' - IGN 3 months ago:
Yes prove intent, but depending on the legal system that might not be enough. Say I believe that spraying someone with sparkling water on the beach would kill you, that does not necessarily mean you attempted to take someones life. Similarly hurting someone in sports does not mean you assaulted them in a criminal sense.

That honestly is a very interesting subject for a beginners exam to criminal law
- Comment on Mushroom Guides 3 months ago:
Yes but a morel does not have a porous underside, hence I’d be careful anyway. As for chanterelles, I feel like you don’t really have much room to mistake it for something else. However it’s been sometime since I went into the woods and I’ve always disliked the English naming for mushrooms and basically don’t know any in English
- Comment on Mushroom Guides 3 months ago:
I live in Europe. Just go by the rule of thumb, if you’re unsure, do not eat. Does it have a porous underside, if yes, most of the times edible. Does it have lamelles, if yes, be careful. Apart from the very dangerous ones, that you should know. If you’re a bit knowledgeable, take a pinch and put it in your tongue, if it’s spicy or stinging, it’s not edible. Is it neutral, it’s likely to be edible. If you go by that order you should be fine. Never forget number 1 though.

Getting killed by dead bugs or being yeeted into orbit for no apparent reason are the best. Shooting the autocannon at objects too close for comfort and then ragdolling into mines is a facepalm moment - it happens way too often

I am not even that old (25), but years of being exposed to toxic and try-hard competitive CS (without any actual incentive to be competitive) made me the same toxic shit. That’s why I stopped playing altogether, apart from co-op stuff. HD2 is exactly the kind of game that helps. I can become annoyed as well, but I realise that it is mostly at myself now for making stupid decisions. And generally it’s just about having fun. The fact that I can laugh about being tked in the most ridiculous and unnecessary way is great

While that is true, there has been quite the effort to make a test that can actually show the lower end of the intelligence spectrum. And no matter how or what you test, 17 IQ is in the range of severe cognitive disability, i.e. the equivalent of the knowledge and ability of a 3 year old.
