Here’s my strategic assessment: the best option is to large scale infiltrate your enemy before air raids and let the infiltrators put potatos into the air defence systems barrel’s. 🥔 gg, ez.

Yeah, no, it doesn’t make sense:
Der Mann (the man - male article)
Die Frau (the woman - female article)
Der Junge (the boy - male article)
Das Mädchen (the girl - neutral article)
Like, come on gendered articles, you had one job.

Solar concentration is boiling some other liquid, so there’s some variance 😅

No, it’s clearly the fault of the buses. So defunding public transport it is.

Also, nicotine is self-medication for a lot of undiagnosed ADHD folks. So, there are health benefits. Far outweighed by the health drawbacks though. At least for smoking to get the sweet, sweet nicotine.

Well, as a kid I thought by the time I’ll do my driver’s license there will be no more manual transmissions around.
Turns out, automatic is just still way more expensive to buy AND, as I recently learned, crazy expensive in maintenance.

But with all the shit I need to control in my car, how would we fit all the physical buttons?
Like, if I need to contain the warp core and reroute auxiliary power to medical while applying a new shield matrix because I am facing off some unexplained space deity. How is that supposed to work with buttons?

Hm, I would expect that to be true, as in “where a McDonalds opens up, there’s less demand for local family owned restaurants”, but I would not take the rate of self employment as proof.
In developed countries exist more laws against pretended self-employment and more small businesses incorporate, thus lowering those numbers.

One aspect I haven’t read about: competitive pressure and economics of scale.
So, imagine two carpenters: they both produce one chair a day. They sell it and can sustain their families with that. Now the one carpenter works a little overtime and uses sharper tools: he’s able to produce two chairs a day. He still needs only to sustain his family, so he could sell the chairs at 50% discount. But he goes for 75% of its original price. Still cheaper, he has more.
Everybody wants to buy those chairs now: they’re the same, but one is way cheaper. The other carpenter loses business, he can’t sustain his family anymore, because he needs to sell one chair a day at least. To keep up, his business needs to grow now.

Only that this swap economy, where people had to bring cows and tables to the market and trade those for 200 breads is a myth. That never existed. Modern anthropology says that trade was always measured in debt. Trade outside of your local community was handled via valuable ores, or other small valuable stuff.

Well, with my banking login the scammer could look at my balance. To withdraw they would need a TAN as well and therefore my banking card. Good luck getting hold of that with malware ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Traditional vaccines work, because your immune cells learn about the “key” they need, to open up the virus and destroy it.
mRNA is basically just shipping the “keyhole” instead of the whole virus organism for your body to learn the pattern. So no crazy “gene therapy”. It is just more precise.
Like, back in the day, people used maps to navigate. Now you use crazy GPS space stuff to do the same. Just better technology for the same end.

Along with unpausable cutscenes. My kid will cry exactly during your 10 minute cutscene, and I want to know the story.

My 4yo always threatens “I won’t invite you to my birthday party!” I always respond with “Yes, thank you, please don’t.” Which is confusing, because apparently it is the go-to threat in daycare to force ohther children to do something 😅. Then I am immediately invited again.

Bonus points for finally settling for one of the options, only to throw a tantrum afterwards, that the other option was the preferred one.
