- Comment on Why do so many people believe that Tycho Brahe died from a burst bladder, when it's impossible to voluntarily hold it in until your bladder ruptures? 11 hours ago:
The first thing that comes to mind here are prostata problems or kidney stones. While the ring muscles can’t counter the pressure from a full bladder, the other two can seriously obstruct the urinary tract. In case of a kidney stone, it could even be that sharp crystals support or cause a rupture.

The killer collective.

There you might be right. Shows that they are to dumb to know the meaning of it.
“Homo” in the sense of a taxonomy genus is Latin and means human, while the “homo”-prefix from e.g. “homosexual” comes from the Greek “homoi”, meaning same, equal.
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 2 days ago:
I remember installing a fresh PC with win98. During installation, I disabled some windows bloatware (Imagine! You actually could do this!), and ended up with an unresponsive, non-windows app blocking the system. I killed that app and removed it from the system. Keep in mind that at this point, no network connection was set up, nor did I install any driver or program yet, this was straight from the windows install medium.
After reboot, the app was back, and again blocking the system.
Wiping the harddisk and starting installation over did not help either.
Turned out this was some bloatware installed by the BIOS whenever it detected at boot that there was a) a Windows installation that was b) “missing” their “register your PC with us” app. This needed some Windows bloatware to work, and thus failed on this machine.
This was the only time I angrily screamed at a hotline worker.

4th of July? You mean the Ungrateful Colonists Insurgence Day?
- Comment on Alligator Auschwitz 2 days ago:
Well, they probably consider them to belong to the “homo superior” species.

Amazing research. But where to place the clasical clip (two wires in a plastic wrap)?
- Comment on Alligator Auschwitz 2 days ago:
Yes, yes indeed. Remove brown people, enslave black people. That’s the plan.

Call for independence from everything GOP and Trump on July 4th?

You are an adult (mostly), not a child/toddler. Yes, there are sources.
- Comment on cooking question 3 days ago:
I was not talking about adults, but children. Especially of toddlers, who put a lot of things into their mouths. There have been confirmed deaths of toddlers from chewing on cigarette butts, but I’m to lazy to dig out references just for your enterteinment.

Indeed, they are working better on a non-congested rail system.
- Comment on RIP America 3 days ago:
Well, that happened to Germany back in the 1930s/40s. Before that, about 1/3 of Nobel Prizes went to German scientists.
- Comment on 🧊🧊👶 4 days ago:
While punctuality is not the German trains strong point, this is mostly due to congestion and construction sites. The trains as such are remarkably reliable.

It is way faster than a car, so Americans won’t want it.

Only once. Tobacco is highly poisonous. The tobacco from a cigarette butt kan kill a child.

Well, don’t visit the US. This is just one of the many reasons to avoid that place.

Well, this would be more calling the cops on the DoorDash driver.
- Comment on To what extent has Smartphones replaced Computers? Has Smartphones replaced Computers for you or people you know? Will Phones and Computers eventually merge into one device? 1 week ago:
No way. The mobile is just a phone and messaging device. Without a usable screen and with no real keyboard it is completly useless for anything but that.

- Comment on The 11foot8 bridge opens another big can 1 week ago:
I had heard they raised it, and I had not heard anything for a long time, so I assumed this was fixed.
So, how high should a standard bridge in the US actually be?
I know that here in Europe the clearence is supposed to be 4.5m (14’8’‘) minimum and 4.7m (15’4’') with new designs.
