Definitely French, the Swiss trains are very reliable but generally not fast.

Sometimes they go that speed around Mannheim/Frankfurt/Köln… If they go at all… And they don’t get stuck behind another train… Or surprise bauarbeiten…

I wish we’d give corrupt officials and CEOs jail here.

I want to write something here about the best conference catering ever, but it would probably dox me, so I won’t.

Rape destroys a whole life, mental and physical.

It certainly can, but it doesn’t always, people respond in all kinds of different ways.

In general I agree but a few people are lucky enough to have jobs that are cool enough to be obsessed with. That doesn’t excuse them from being able to talk about other stuff with other people, but I think it’s fine for them to be that way. I work in some fairly advanced science facilities and some of the people I’ve met are working on stuff that’s crazy enough and difficult enough that you almost need to be a little obsessed to succeed at it.

No, the theory of electromagnetism and by extension physics in general is knowing how it works. How to use it is engineering, a different set of knowledge which we also have some of.

Sure, but between nothing and the axioms of the standard model we end up with a fairly comprehensive description which can predict how different kinds of magnets behave in a wide variety of situations.

It was a political storm few had predicted.

Hmm, I recall quite a lot of people predicting it, actually.

If there’s not already enough data for someone to be convinced, more data isn’t going to help. All the information people need is readily out there. What we lack is solidarity, community and movement building, and some slop video isn’t going to help that.

Israel is not invading America lol. The president isn’t the boss of America, the oligarchs are, and they’re perfectly fine with their friends spying on the government for them.

They shouldn’t scan anyone. It will always be abused.

He straight up bought it, never lived there or anything.

Ok? They do that anyway. Sometimes people leave and they have to hire externally.

China is strategically investing and they don’t care about Africa, only China

Yes, sure, it’s not altruistic. But there’s a huge difference between non-violent trade relationships which benefit one party more, and also benefit the other party, just less, and purposefully ensuring that an entire continent is in a constant state of civil war and desperate poverty so you can extract the maximum amount of resources through slavery. China’s foreign policy is absolutely for its own benefit but they’re taking a “rising tide lifts all boats” approach there and while there are some specific things which are fair to criticise it’s way better than what other major powers are doing.

Not being able to read it is technically illiteracy in that specific context, sure.

Pot, kettle, etc. I never claimed to have perfect grammar or punctuation. Your own comment could do with some revision if you think it’s so important.

As a millennial who didn’t stop using the internet in 2015 I have no problem reading this. I don’t write like that because it’s not what I’m used to, but it’s fine, it’s social media not a professional presentation, chill.

heat protection rules in Germany are actually quite weak, above 30 they have to let you wear some lighter clothing and give you water… but yeah I think over 50 would not be allowed

We already have all this stuff, stop larping as a 1337 h4x0r and go fix some bugs in your preferred xmpp client or one of those Firefox forks
