  • First the taste got lost, now they turn into the nutritious equivalent of card board. The nutrition supplements industry: “Hell, yeah!” But you have to give it to them, every vegetable and every fruit looks perfect now and keeps that look for a long time. What can be better than that?

    My neighbor has a balcony and has tomato plants on it every year, and they are the ugliest tomatoes I have ever seen and have the best taste of any I have ever eaten. I want a balcony or a garden so badly.



  • It is understand some class photographs were taken before the pupils with additional support needs were brought in.

    How did that happen, when no one in the school was in with it? Where were the kids with complex needs at that time? As a parent I would have a closer look at the school, no matter what they say now. I mean it takes time to get the kids stand together, stop making funny faces etc. This was not done in five minutes or the pictures would be awful.




  • In Germany there are only a few crimes that take away your voting rights and I am fine with these:

    • preparation of a war of aggression and high treason against the Federation
    • treason and disclosure of state secrets with intent to cause damage
    • attacks against organs and representatives of foreign states
    • disruption of election process and falsification of election documents
    • bribing delegates
    • sabotage against means of defence or intelligence activity endangering national security (provided that a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for at least one year in this case).

    They allowed capitalists to win and they bought golf.

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2023/jun/13/saudi-arabia-golf-pga-tour-public-investment-fund

    That’s the capitalists:

    The tragic paradox is that for the most part the people who care about sport do not own it and the people who own it do not seem to care for it at all. It is of no consequence to Saudi Arabia whether or not you like golf. Eventually, it will find the thing you do like and your views will not be of interest to them. No, they will not be taking questions. No, you will not be kept up to date on progress. As ever, you will find out what’s happening whenever it decides you need to know.

    And if you think “I don’t care about golf, no loss” they already have bought all kinds of other tournaments including e-sport.

    Beim Lohn von Leuten die im Schichtdienst arbeiten müsste eingepreist sein, dass es für die meisten nicht möglich ist es bis zur Rente zu schaffen, schon mal gar nicht bis 70. Statt dessen gibt es für die Nervenstrapaze dann auch noch zu oft Rentenkürzung weil Frührente.

    Schau auf dich und spring früh genug ab, bei meinem Vater hat der Schichtdienst auf dem Stellwerk (großer Kopfbahnhof) die psychische und physische Gesundheit so ruiniert (ok Rauchen hatte auch seinen Anteil), dass es jetzt mit einem geruhsamen Lebensabend auch nix mehr ist. Ist es nicht wert. Die Anfangszeit auf dem Land mit händisch Weichen stellen und drei Zügen am Tag war noch nett, das Stellwerk eine Hölle ohne Fenster mit blinkenden Lichtern und nie genug Zeit/Kapazität/Leuten.

    Ausserdem: Mach Mittagsschlaf, bitte. Unser aller Gesundheit zu liebe.




  • In many ways it’s more restrictive than before, albeit better for the intended use case.

    I had to scroll way too far down for someone to point that out.

    There will be a lot of people facing problems like yours with actual family members living abroad, and others will face issues with sharing with friends abroad or friends that used to change often or paid sharing that changed often.

    I am a cynic so I think it is mostly done to hinder paid sharing and sharing with friends and family abroad is collateral damage.

    A second use is probably that child protection is now pushed away from Steam and more towards the parents. I think that was necessary because European countries and maybe others were putting Valve under pressure and they do not want to implement a real age verification (they should imho). Now they can just say: “Kids should not have free access to a PC to be able to make an account, parents need to do that for them and restrict access age appropriate, it is not our concern anymore!” I have my doubt that will be enough for the EU though, but might buy them time.

    I think many people haven’t realized the downsides of this yet and only see where it benefits them. We will have complaints about the one year cooldown soon.
