Allerdings sind die alten Arbeitnehmer halt die teuersten, weil sie in der Regel die höchsten Gehälter beziehen und auch am meisten krank sind. Unter anderem deshalb hat man ja noch vor ein paar Jahren Leute gegen Abfindung in den Vorruhestand geschickt. Davon findet sich interessanterweise in dem Artikel kein Wort.

Die soziale Marktwirtschaft, die liberale Marktwirtschaft, das war unser Leitbild, und das hat uns reich gemacht.

Ich hasse ihn dafür, wie er den Begriff umdeuten will. Die soziale Marktwirtschaft hat uns reich gemacht – vielleicht. Die liberale Marktwirtschaft hat uns reich gemacht – wahr, wenn man "uns" als "mich und meine Kumpels" liest. Aber die jetzige Situation liegt auch in der Liberalisierung des Marktes, und die Folgen sollen wieder alle ausbaden bis auf die Profiteure.

This is part of the point I was trying to make

I mean... The general point still stands. It's not that western nations seriously doubt that Russia has these weapons. We know Russia has ICBMs, we know they have nukes, we know they're willing to attack Ukraine with conventional weapons.

What Western nations doubt is that Russia would actually attack them or use nukes, because it'd trigger a united response they'd lose against, and they know that and want to avoid it.

It's not about capabilities, but willingness.

Scheint auch so zu stimmen, dann hätte ich wohl etwas falsches im Kopf.

Dann wird es für ihn wahrscheinlich gerade noch so zu ertragen sein.

The problem I have with this is that there's no definition of what "owning" means. Never have individuals bought a game and then owned all rights associated with it. It was always a license that included personal use and nothing much else.

However, due to how media distribution worked, this license was generally valid forever and could be transferred to another party, and these two factors - especially the first one - make a good point: why would I enter such a license if the other side can factually nullify it at any point, while I lose that option after a certain time?

Apart from that, media piracy was never stealing in the first place. It's about unlicensed usage and distribution of media. And rightholders can't be surprised if people don't license it if the construct is so stacked to their disadvantage.

Dazu kommt, dass er rückwirkend in der gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung landet, aber der Dienstherr nur den Arbeitgeberanteil zahlt. Und auch ich gehe davon aus, dass seine private Vorsorge eher begrenzt ausfällt.

D.h. wenn er jetzt im Renteneintrittsalter wäre, bekäme er nur 50% dessen, was ein normaler Arbeitnehmer bei gleichem brutto bekommt - natürlich nur fair, letzterer musste immerhin sein Arbeitsleben dafür eine Sozialabgabe zahlen.

Das wären nach meiner kurzen Überschlagung für ihn ca. 1300€, die ihm dann jetzt monatlich als Rente zustehen. Statt 70% der letzten Bezüge, die ja auch immer angepasst werden...

Aber es kommt ja noch besser. Da er als Staatsdiener höchstwahrscheinlich privat krankenversichert ist, wird er das jetzt auch bleiben müssen - ein Wechsel in die GKV ist nur bis 55 Jahre möglich. In seinem Alter wird das ganz schön teuer - besonders, wenn dann noch die Beihilfe wegfällt... Viel Spaß im Grundtarif :)

You claim that nuclear is short sighted, but then you claim we should be using renewables. Where do those renweables get their energy? From nuclear.

Yeah… a nuclear fusion reaction that has about 18*10^29 kg of hydrogen available at its disposal and is conveniently placed in a vacuum, mostly unaffected by gravity other than its own, with magnetic fields enabling it.

When we speak of nuclear as a source of electric energy, it's about nuclear fission. And it's not like we're not trying, nuclear fusion research is going on since over 60 years, with insane amounts of money invested into it and yet no result that is practical for large scale electric energy generation.

Its easy to make the argument that we didnt have to pay the upfront costs of the sun, but the sun itself isnt renewable. Even if you invested fully into renewables now, for humanity to last long term you would STILL have to eventually go nuclear. And what about deep space habitats? They cant use renweables pretty much at all.

If you think humanity (or actually, any form of life) can sustain once the sun no longer exists as it does now (probably becoming a red giant), you're probably wrong. But that consideration is of no importance when talking about covering today's energy needs

Gleichzeitig streicht die Regierung 50 Millionen Euro, die zur Bekämpfung der Spielsucht gedacht sind. Dieser Fonds war vor mehr als zehn Jahren von der Regierung unter dem damaligen Ministerpräsidenten Mario Monti eingerichtet worden, um Präventionsmaßnahmen und Therapien zu koordinieren.

Die beste Regierung, die Italien in jüngerer Zeit hatte, war die, die sie nie gewählt haben.

Und klar, wenn man nur die Steuereinnahmen betrachtet, lohnt sich legales Glücksspiel für den Staat. Dass da aber enorme gesellschaftliche Kosten entstehen, wird geflissentlich ignoriert.

I guess it depends. They're not that trendy here in Germany. In fact I think the last time I got some was 15 years ago when I cought lymphatic tract inflammation after getting bitten by an insect. Since this was most likely a bacterial infection that can lead to sepsis. No antibiotics since then. So from experience I'd say they're not prescribed just because.

The other problem is that basically the same amount of antibiotics is used for livestock. And this was a way bigger percentage about 15 years ago.

I think if LetsEncrypt went away, so would ZeroSSL's free offer.

However, I do think not having limitations on the API is good; automation is good practice and I guess this is a concession to customers /users who have no automation in place (though this is a sad state by now). LE doesn't offer anything comparable AFAIK.

Never used them, but they state at https://zerossl.com/features/acme/ that their free acme certs include wildcards.

By itself nothing. It was more along the lines of "why doesn't the Finnish game support the Finnish kennel".

Noita doesn't even need proton, it's using OpenGL so plain wine is perfectly fine.

Evo 2024 finals (self.guiltygear)
 

Watched the Game Finals today, excellent match with unexpected characters. In fact I was most surprised at the total lack of Goldlewis players in top 6.

Looking forward to season 4
