"Why did you reset your iPad? Were you hiding secret Antifa plans in it? Off to Guantanamo Bay!"

Lemmy is social media

If I travel to the US next time to visit family, I’m thinking of getting a burner phone and also leave my iPad at home. It will be a boring flight but I don’t feel safe otherwise. Shit country.

But this topic is about DB…

As for comparisons to gasoline, I'd be leaving the tank empty so that's not a concern for me.

You would carry around a whole combustion engine just to leave it empty?? Wtf that’s even more waistful and inefficient. Get an older EV with a small battery if you’re so allergic to it.

Battery fires are not catastrophic, it just takes a different approach to deal with it and we already know how.

I say bring back the guillotines!

It just adds more points of failure to the trip. One train being late (which as you see is quite common) ruins the rest.

You sure have to be a little more delicate with a heavy cast iron on glass than if you had a gas stovetop. But that comes pretty automatic if you understand that different materials have different strengths and you don’t have think too much about it.

I wouldn’t necessarily trust them to live long in a high traffic restaurant kitchen.

Here in Germany everyone is using radiant heat or induction cooktops. I’ve never broke the glass or seen that anywhere. Don’t know what you’re doing with it.

I believe the only ones who profit from this hurdle are the big parties. It’s better for them if there is less choice. I hope for you that it never gets introduced in the Netherlands.

Due to our 5% hurdle to even get into Bundestag there are not many parties to create coalitions with and they mostly have very different agendas.

The last government failed because one tiny party in the coalition not just refused to corporate but even sabotaged some things. There was no other party in Bundestag to work with because there were only nazis, Russian puppets and the CDU/CSU who were in full opposition mode.

I also believe it would be better to remove the 5% hurdle so there is more to choose from and smaller parties have a chance to gain traction. People would not need to vote for the „lesser evil“, they could just vote exactly what they want.

The only one I know personally has a very bad relationship with her mother, so she intentionally keeps a distance.

I know some do it even if they have a great relationship. It feels weird to me because it’s not the norm. Are they making a statement of some kind?

But basically only parents and grandparents are not called by name here. Uncles and aunts only when you’re young.
