I’m afraid to take this. What if I’m German? They can’t treat that, you know. I’d have to hide it from my family.

And if Honey, I didn’t shrink the kids?

So how big are DS9 and the Defiant actually? The scales were all over the place.

Yea, was meaning to say just this. Pride was never “gone”, and the clearest proof of this was still under Orbán’s rule, where participating was still an act of resistance to the government. It might become smaller, more chill now.

It’s been mentioned, but this is just a horrible title for the article. Bottom line: Japanese pubs for locals are struggling, because the locals themselves spend less time and money there —¹ for completely sensible reasons. Yea, they didn’t pivot to catering to foreigners to save their businesses, but there is no mention of xenophobia being the reason. Guess we’ve gotta ragebait somehow 🤷.

² You can long press the digits too.

Layoffs of managers.

Get any Linux sysadmin certificate! The world’s infrastructure runs on Linux, CI/CD-pipelines have a heavy Linux bias, and compared to how Oracle or SAP certs have developed, anything certifying you as capable of installing, setting up, and administrating a network of productive Linux servers is imho the straightest way to a solid job.

No.

Aging 20-30 years in that future should be portrayed as ~10-15 years of aging in our timeline. People (esp. Inners) are far more long-lived thanks to advanced pharmaceuticals. See the coroner’s bit about life expectancies in S1.

Point is though, that you’ll want no trouble with the law abroad, especially on a school trip. Keeping a respectfully low profile is never a bad idea.

Though I do confirm that Munich police are quite chill and helpful.

I’m a naturalised Swiss citizen from the German-speaking part, originally from Eastern Europe. I’ll try to cover some of what other comments haven’t:

1. First thing: get employed. In fact, get a contract before even coming here. Life in Switzerland has serious recurring costs and safety nets are sparse. I’m not saying it’s easy, it’s the biggest challenge, but it only gets easier from there.
2. Learn the language (Swiss German), keep practicing it, and mind that you’ll never be 100% accent-free or accepted by everyone in society. Switzerland has a kind of baseline hostility towards everyone, and foreigners get some extra.
3. Build up your own circle of friends, which is downright easy in most “cities”. Pubs are ubiquitous and great for this. There is a sizeable Balkans minority, which might need some extra navigation, but you prolly know this better than I.
4. If you’re through with points 1.-3. though, let me tell you, this is hands-down the best country in the world. You’ll love it here. You’ll never feel as home anywhere else like you’ll do here.

Conversely, being forced to use Excel with Copilot is the traditional punishment for unwarrantedly flogging somebody (you need to get consent first, mmkay?).

I’ve bought a Surface Go 2 a few years back and the startup time has steadily risen from a poor ~2min to well over 5min. But ever since I’ve deactivated secure boot and installed Debian with Plasma, it’s become my beloved workhorse with a boot time of <1min after entering the LVM key.

Surfaces are great hardware for the (old) price. A pity hardware’s becoming unaffordable…

My dude, they can’t even protect a clinic. How do you suppose your proposed quarantine be enforced?

yes

… fucking Hogger, man

Because the word “up” literally means “away from the planet” you will not find a single point on Earth where there is not exactly one general direction clearly definable as “up”.

But to get personal with you, I don’t put any stock in the opinions of people who unironically say “if Earth is round…”. This reply is for the poor souls who had to read your post due to my additional downvote not having saved them from it.

tbf, this is a net positive for the right. That creep was a liability. A shame he got fired by Cheeto Benito too, his fuckups as a lawyer were classic.

Came here for this. We had Project Chanology in my day. As long as there’s Scientology, the youth will continue to milk them for lulz.
