No contradiction here, a large chunk of former Prussia is now part of Poland.

When someone goes “I am x% (insert European county here)”
it’s actually convincing proof that he is 100% American. - Comment on The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation. 3 days ago:
LOL.

I first encountered and used it in the online forums during the late 90’s and early 00s.
Has been part of sentences back then and I still use it like that.“lol” primarily as standalone reply sounds like something from an later messenger-centric era.
Are you a Millenial by any chance? - Comment on The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation. 3 days ago:
end your sentences with “lol” you don’t also need to say that you’re Gen Z.
I am pretty sure we lol-ed a lot already before the majority of Gen-Z was even born…

Not just international travel but travel in general.
And if it is only going to the next big town by bike, knowing that you could phone someone and just tell him exactly where you are. - Comment on Wyoming ranchers want to transition to solar. The state stands in their way. 5 days ago:
Actually Northern Bavaria is slightly arid. During summer, much of the needed water is “imported” from the more humid southern part via the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal.
Fascinating large scale engineering project, but also with significant environmental impact…
- Comment on Wyoming ranchers want to transition to solar. The state stands in their way. 5 days ago:
You are right! Counting decimal places always was one of my weak points, should have switched calculator to engineering notation. :-)
9 sq. km irrigated land is still insane.
I live in middle of the largest irrigated vegetable growing region in Northern Bavaria, and it just has 9 sq. km irrigation area in total, but shared between 267 farms!
- Comment on Wyoming ranchers want to transition to solar. The state stands in their way. 5 days ago:
Wait… 3000 acres would be 120 sq. km, if my math mathed correctly.
That’s twice the size of my 130.000 inhabitants municipality, which also includes dozens of huge farms.
I see your point here.
So the whole thing is ridiculous and actually a non-issue. - Comment on Wyoming ranchers want to transition to solar. The state stands in their way. 5 days ago:
An electric utility bill of 150000$???
Assuming a price of 0.2 ct/kWh that would be 750 MWh per year.
Or a continous consumption of 85kW 24/7.
What the hell kind of farms are these?
Industrial scale indoor weed plantations?? - Comment on In 2015, the Fortingall Yew, one of the oldest trees in Europe, decided trans rights are tree rights and switched its sex to female 🏳️⚧️ eat shit transphobes 1 week ago:
Hey, I think this is highly toxic!

- Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried 1 week ago:
But it would be the other way around:
Established players would have to completely break their existant transport layer in the whole world, just to be able to also cover the EU. (Or leave.)While potential new competitors would be able to design it to comply right from the start.

Big Tech has no interest in chat control, though.
They vehemently opposed it from the start.
How the Danish are acting just doesn’t make sense… - Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried 1 week ago:
What the hell is happening in Denmark at the moment??
First forcing chat control upon Europe, now this?
I looked up their government, would have expected far right or so, but it is liberal social democrat…
So what happens here?

- Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 3 weeks ago:
so…you don’t bathe.
That is correct.
I shower. - Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 3 weeks ago:
No, but took me only 20s or so to walk to the bath and take one.
Also 30 additional steps and a reset of the get-up-counter on my fitness watch, so was a welcome reason to leave the couch ;-) - Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 3 weeks ago:
The one before was 5+ years old when its hose broke.
Did not look great but still ok in the end.
Might just be limescale? - Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 3 weeks ago:
- Comment on Usually, silicone nippled showerheads aren't replaced or cleaned regularly. 3 weeks ago:
Should they?
I would expect them to be somewhat self-cleaning when in regular use.Also: Bonus point because Iiteral shower thought.
- Comment on Can you power your computer by typing? 3 weeks ago:
l am a little disappointed as it didn’t dive into how to make it work nonetheless.
E.g. I am guessing the power needed to use my old mechanical keyboard at 120 key presses per minute (so 2 per second) based on needed force and travelled key distance to be in the 0.1W range.
Not a lot, but probably enough to power a officient microcontroller with a small LCD display.I am convinced that with the right setup this could be actually working!

Let me also introduce you to the concept of tongue twisters.

“Lesser leather never weathered wetter weather better.” - Comment on Any guesses? 3 weeks ago:
Has quite probably the same root.
G-Wagon is short for “Geländewagen” which just means “offroad vehicle” in English. - Comment on Any guesses? 3 weeks ago:
That actually is very interesting!
I wonder if it is just a coincidence or if there is some kind of connection between the two… - Comment on Any guesses? 3 weeks ago:
l come from a farmers family in Germany.
I’ve known it from some equipment we used back in the 80’s or so :-) - Comment on Any guesses? 3 weeks ago:
Offroad?

Oh no, don’t tell me another innocent term has been captured by the far right??
In this case, using it in apolitical contexts might perhaps be a good thing, though?
Diluting its supposed significance… - Comment on You live in Clown World when guys are using bathroom hand dryers 1 month ago:
Well, I guess many one into such stuff, sooo… :-)

Do we have a DINgore sub somewhere on Lemmy?
