Das ist vielleicht eine unpopuläre Meinung aber ich denke, dass eine Erhöhung der Pendlerpauschale grundsätzlich eine sinnvolle Reaktion auf höhere Preise ist. Die Grundidee der Pendlerpauschale ist es doch, dass Pendelkosten Werbungskosten und deshalb von der Steuer abzusetzen sind. Wenn Kosten nun steigen, muss auch die Pauschale steigen, die man absetzen kann. Hätte man ein System, in dem man die tatsächlichen Kosten belegen müsste, würde der Erstattungsbeitrag ja auch steigen wenn die Kosten steigen. Jedes Unternehmen das gestiegene Kosten hat kann diese ja auch absetzen. Dass diese Maßname nicht Sinvoll ist um insbesondere Geringverdiener zu entlasten ist aber auch klar. Sie sollte auch nicht als solche betrachtet werden. Dazu würde es andere Maßnamen benötigen.

The screws will melt and probably start a fire with the wood they are screwed into. The pole might get hot too from the current that goes through the fasteners but most of the heat would be in the screws and the fasteners and dissipate before it reaches the pole. Hardly any current will flow through the pole itself.

Ja, aber die Evolution selbst hat keinen Sinn. Sie ist nur ein Resultat der wirkenden Kräfte, welches verschiedenen Mustern folgt. Biologen können sie beschreiben, aber ihr einen Sinn zu geben ist nicht die Aufgabe der Wissenschaft.

Imagine stubbing your toe with nails like that. The entire toe nail will be ripped clean off.

Most eggs you buy in the store are unfertilized and therefore don’t really contain chicken. They are still called chicken eggs. Therefore what lays the egg determines what it is called.

Could also be useful for doing research with ebooks. Maybe show a list of bookmarks or the table of contents on one screen and the text on the other screen. Or you could compare different texts easier, showing one on one screen and one on the other. Or use one screen for notes. But I guess people that need to actually do productive research will use a desktop anyways.

A single junior analyst causing such a breach of redacted information would still point towards incompetence on an organisational level. This should really be something every person who works in publishing documents with redacted informations should be trained to spot.

Raw pork tastes great.

I thought it was about cheating.

I’m sorry for being a good reputation and I don’t know what to do with the people who have a lot of people and they are supposed to be a good reputation for the rest of the year and month.

But using figuratively wouldn’t really ever be correct either. “Literally” is usually used as a hyperbole, so if you would replace it with figuratively it wouldn’t work as a hyperbole anymore. So it would change the meaning. Just because something is meant figuratively doesn’t mean people would use the word figuratively to describe it.

Als ich zuletzt beim Weihnachtsmarkt war, war der Pfand 2,5€. Wenn Ich online schaue glaube ich kaum, dass der Stand die für unter 2,5€ bekommt. Die Kosten mit Gravur, selbst wenn man über 1000 Stück bestellt waren bei dem einen Shop den ich gefunden habe mindestens 3€.

No. You can be completely exerted without sweating or completely soaked in sweat without feeling exerted at all. I’ve experienced both and when I’m in better shape I will sweat more without feeling exerted, while when out of shape I can feel exerted without being sweaty. The amount of energy required to move your body is about the same whether you are fit or not. So the heat production and therefore the sweat production would be the same. Being in better shape makes the body better at producing sweat to cool you down. So more sweat and less exertion.

How fit you are doesn’t determine how much you sweat. Becoming more fit can make some people even sweat more.

Except that the one with ads is more expensive.

You don’t need FTL travel or multi-generational ships really. If you get close enough to the speed of light, time dilation can make the travel time for the people on the ship be as short as you want. Only for the people that stay on earth would the spaceship appear to take generations. Getting enough energy to reach such high speeds would be the difficult part as well as accelerating quickly without crushing the travellers.

Naja, für das warten in der Schlange wirst du ja genauso nicht bezahlt oder für das zusammensammeln deiner Waren.

Yeah the rents in some cities seem crazy high. I’m paying 580€/month warm for a 1 bedroom apartment that I live in with my wife so even from minimum wage that would still be affordable but in some places that would probably not be possible.

Working Full time for the new minimum wage you earn about 2400 gross. After taxes and health insurance that is about 1883€. As a single you can very easily live quite comfortably from that unless you are living in a very expensive city.

Naja, das Skurrile hier ist ja, dass Likör an sich schon meistens ohne Ei ist. Erst durch die Bezeichnung “ohne Ei” wird ja überhaupt erst die Verbindung zu Eierlikör hergestellt.
