Generally as long as the symbol isn't used to endorse nazi ideology it is fine.

For me "Mäusespeck" are smaller marshmallows that usually come in white and pink and in different shapes. Sometimes the shape of a mouse. Marshmallows are the larger white and cylindrical or cube ones that you put on a stick to roast on a campfire before eating.

I think there are even dongles that let you charge while listening to music.

I had taken out the CMOS on my PC battery when I was a kid so that it would reset the time every startup and I could use the 30 day test version of windows and other programs indefinitely.

I like the idea, but $350 is way overpriced in my opinion.

Wouldn't the salts derived from organic acids like citric acid technically be organic salts? Like sodium citrates for example?

I payed my nebula subscription with google pay which goes through PayPal.

A Chinese board game where the strongest AI just managed to beat the strongest human players a few years ago.

I think we can very strongly infere that other humans are conscious from knowing that we are conscious ourselves and seeing that other peoples brains work in the same way as ours and people think and behave in a very similar way as us and also have a concept of what consciousness is that corresponds with our own. In my opinion believing that other people aren't conscious is in the same category of beliefs as the past, the future or even the world and physical laws not existing outside of our subjective experiences. Sure you can not mathematically prove any of that but questioning it isn't really useful for more than a philosophical exercise of scepticism. As for AI I think it is a tricky question that I can't answer. Right now I don't think it is but maybe in the future it will be.

It makes sense to start with the year zero when you want to do any calculations that involve dates that where before and after year one. If an empire was founded in 50 BC and dissolved in 50 CE to calculate its age when it was dissolved you have to acknowledge that there is no year zero so instead of just calculating 50 - (-50) = 100 you have to substract one which is counter intuitive. Because it went from year 1 BC straight to 1 CE.

In my opinion modern screens are scratch resistant enough to put in the pocket without many problems and if you need more resistance you can get a screen protecting foil or a case. If my non foldable phone would scratch too much in my pockets I wouldn't really think about replacing it with a device that is twice as expensive and has an additional hinge that could fail.

Note that the article is an auto-generated comparison. In my opinion these two cars aren't really comparable and are only kind of similar in terms of looks and dimensions. Everything else is pretty different. The volvo is about twice as heavy and up to three times as powerful depending on configuration and is available with allwheel drive vs just frontwheel drive fir the Dacia and far more luxurious. They appeal to a completely different class of cutomers.

I don't think that we are powerless to control the market, but that in this instance there is really no need to do so. In my opinion Beyonce has no obligation to perform live for any less than what she believes her performance is worth. There is no shortage of artists that are willing to perform for much lower prices. But if you insist on listening to a live performance of Beyonce specifically than it is really on you if you are unhappy with the cost. I agree with you that we shouldn't be slaves to the market and would gladly support intervening when the marked doesn't produce desirable results for the people. But it's not like people are dying or even really suffering from lack of access to Beyonce concerts.

People have started planting Olives in austria and even germany allready. Eventhoug I think it is more experimental still.

But with a million bucks you wouldn't really be bound by location anymore. You could just retire somwhere that is cheaper and without the need to work most of your waking time you aren't even really limited by language as you have plenty of time to learn a new language.

You can look for ESD heel & shoe straps. They are relatively cheap and help you discharge while walking around or buy shoes that are ESD rated in the first place.

Stuff like that doesn't really bother me. I would never pay that much to not see her, but she is probably one of the most popular musicians of this century. It is only natural that opportunities to hear her live have a high scarcity and prices rise to whatever people are willing to pay for it. If you don't like paying you can chose to listen to artists that have lower ticket prices or if you want to listen to Beyonce you can do so for free at home.

I think a solution could be to allow communities to merge voluntarily if the mods of both agree to. It would only work with instances that aren't blocked anywere. But users that would be subscibed to one would automatically be subscibed to all the merged commuities as well and you could post to the merged commuity from any of the participating instances. That would have the advantage that if one instance fails the community would almost seamlessly continue on the other instances.
