EU passports are red (burgundy)

Am I a leech?

Technically, I guess so, you’re profiting just by owning the property. And having tenants exactly balancing out the costs of owning property.

Morally? Fuck no. What you’re doing you are doing to survive, not to live excessively.

it works with 50% of US voters tho… so he’s doing something right.

but I also have Autism,

I rest my case your honor.

I prefer ‘second servant trump’

Some of that is “clever” accounting, the rest is that healthcare insurances don’t have bargaining power with the providers. In Germany the state insurance companies have collective bargaining power so that for example an ambulance ride costs 500€ instead of 15000.

and he can’t be elected again (barring him fucking our systems so severely that he manages to force a third term on us).

That’s easy, create a national crisis (massive inflation + riots) and have SCOTUS suspend the 22nd amendment

8.1 was actually a massive improvement though, I doubt they’re even capable of pulling that off for 11, much less willing. 11 is flawed deeply to the core, 8 was “only” flawed on the surface (UI etc.)

As I said, specific “applications” :D

Some applications need very specific drivers and protocols that aren’t compatible with normal chips. Or you have to connect to a device via WiFi but still need internet. Also long range WiFi antennas are amazing.

Yeah, I totally get that there is a need for cheap power only cables, but why are there what feels like 30 different data “standards”. Just gimme power-only, data, and fast-data. And yeah, in 2 years there’ll be a faster data protocol, so what, that’s then fast-data24, fast-data26, etc. and manufacturers have to use a specific pictogram to label them according to the highest standard they fulfill.

I fully agree, some people just need the extra clarification though

At the store I’m at it’s handled pretty nice, we won’t stop anyone under a very low amount (single digit €) and above that it’s very dependent on your behaviour + how much you tried to steal, so you might just have to pay a 50€ fine without police involvement.

And only if the corporation is big enough. Don’t steal from your local corner store.

And also, don’t steal for profit.

I work at a hardware store, and if you steal some small shit like a file/screwdriver/whatever, you’re good. If I see you stealing 5k in light fixtures, tools, and batteries, I’ll get my bonus thank you very much.

Nazi ideology is never an opinion. It’s a threat to human rights and democracy.

What. You do realize that China has made multiple extortionist contacts with African nations in exchange for infrastructure, while they get mining rights and no supervision to continue their slavery? Depending on the source they have like twice as much mining capacity compared to all Western nations combined.

Proprietary spare parts. The motors might be off the shelf so you could grab parts from a different manufacturer. But controllers and batteries are usually proprietary making repairs much more complicated and cost-inefficient
