Germany has a worker problem right now.

Amazon pays 2€/h above minimum wage for warehouse workers, Lidl pays 1€ above minimum wage for stocking shelves.

Yes, there are issues with job training, but a) nurses don't get paid that bad (a single mom nurse managed to get me through school and a master's degree) and b) you can't find any workers at all, currently. Germany has de facto full employment right now. Those who are unemployed are almost always unable or not allowed to work.

Like, not being able to run it on a perfectly capable machine, just because someone at MS decided it's not new enough? Yeah, minor annoyance.

Then how exactly do you outsource nurses, bus drivers, retail workers and plumbers?

Most people don't "get" poetry.

Did you channel your edgy 15 year old self for that? That's incredibly arrogant and self absorbed.

If it's literally indistinguishable from human poetry, about as many people want to read it as there are people wanting to read human poetry. And that's about 12.

Or, maybe, we have to accept that art and all the grandiose and deep narratives around it are bullshit. It's an illusion, it's just a tool so some of us feel more important.

All that crap about not being made by humans is just the fear that the illusion of grandeur of humans might collapse.

That's almost always the case.

Just think about airports. The planes themselves are highly protected, but everything before security is essentially public area. You could quite literally put a ton of explosives on one of those baggage carts, rolled it into a packed airport during holiday saison and blow up hundreds of people.

It seems like very few terrorists are reasonably intelligent.

Sounds conspiratorial, but is serious: is there some legal category for events with more than 35 dead?

Hier ist aber auch die Frage, wer überhaupt überlebt bzw behandelt wird. Es gibt genügend Stories von russischen Verletzten, die quasi keine Behandlung erfahren. Es kann also sein, dass die Überlebenschancen in Russland wesentlich schlechter sind.

Nur der Vollständigkeit halber: das sind "Casualties", nicht Tote. Das sind alle Soldaten, die so schwer verletzt sind, dass sie langfristig nicht mehr einsatzfähig sind.

Ein Soldat mit abgerissenen Bein ist Casualty, aber nicht weg.

I wouldn't call it perfectly fine. It's a bad decision made for the wrong reasons, but it's also not a disaster.

It's like coke in a mug. Weird, not ideal, but serviceable.
