Nowadays I work in urban hydrology and lead our team for general planning/asset management and data management of utilities company for a city in germany. I did my phd in river hydrology and hydrometeorology.

I have to admit modelling nowadays is only ~30% of my job. I oftentimes wished that I would do more modelling, but thus is life I guess. Should still consider myelf lucky that I manage to still do that much modelling, thanks to my team being very competent, thus allowing me to manage with a very low hierarchy and still do some work myself (the pay gap is also quite small, so I guess that is fair).

But remote work is difficult in that business. We allow a maximum of 50% and only 1-2 days per week for leading positions.

I’d also have a look at Darktable.

We don’t have to in Germany, but they last longer and sometimes we don’t eat a lot of eggs. Putting them in the fridge ensures that we can safely eat them even quite some time after the expiration date (then we cook them fully though).

I am a model, I do hydologic and hydraulic simulations. So I often have 1-5 minutes that I have to wait for the PC. The work related stuff to do during the waiting periods is limited.

Oh, apparently they are called herbal cigarettes. Consist off some non tobacco leafs. Here in Germany they are sold in pharmacies.

You have to want to stop. I smoked 13 years, stopped several times, but the final real stopping was not that hard.

What also worked quite well for me as a crutch were nicotine free cigarettes. I decided I’d smoke as many of those as I wanted. Started with 20 at the first day and it slowly reduced by itself over time, till at one point o completly stopped without even realizing it.

70%… This is insane. A country that cannot “afford” genearal public healthcare. How is there no revolution happening in the US?

You do sound rather aggresive. :) We introverts can be friendly as well. He is probably just insecure about the situation.

Good luck to you. Try the adoption/foster-child road, bur don’t give up. My wife’s cousin tried for more than 5 years, went through several ivfs and some kind of procedure, but was considered barren at the end. But for whatever reason it then suddenly worked and they have 3 children now (they only wanted 2, but I guess they prayed too hard or something).

Hm, I do this sometimes to mark that I am unsure about the statement I made, asking for confirmation. I think that is okay?

In any other democratic system I genuinely think a third party (greens?) would have a good chance to win this election

Checking in from Germany. We have a parliamentary system and ~60 of the population is against the genocide and only ~30% are pro-genocide. And this despite a continuous pro-genocide propaganda by almost all media and politicians. It honestly is batshit insane what the german media is becoming. The whole discurse they produce is basically directly restating IDF statements.

But 90+% of the parliament is pro-genocide. Only one fraction (BSW ~1,4%) is strictly against the genocide (but are assholes in other topics) and 1 fraction is divided on the issue (Die Linke ~4%). Our green party is the most stringently pro-genocide party.

It is honestly really hard to not completly lose trust in democracy itself right now.

Man, I wish he’d leave the communication to someone else. He is so, so bad at it. And this isn’t the first time

The way he attacks critics puts himself in a bad light. But much more importantly, I read this and am still unsure if he has administrative/legal reason, security reasons or political reasons…

If I’d work in Russian propaganda, I’d love this so much. Hope this will not cause disruption in the community.

In most socialist societies working is also expected… I’d expect automatization to help with that in a true socialist society though. On the other hand, I am not sure that a society without work would function. But a 20h week would defintely be much preferable.

What has she done except producing videos?

My fear of getting arrested for disturbing the public peace.

Liberal extreme right and authoritarian extrem right.

And whoever likes Valheim should have a look at 7 Days to Die and The Forest (and probably The Forest 2, but I haven’t played that one yet).

They are defintly becoming more in Germany thanks to the fucking Amarok.

And I understand that there might be valid reasons to buy an Amarok, but I’ve never seen them used by anyone, but suburbanites who use them as a personal ca4.

Man, took me too long to figure out who Toni is.
