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.

The entire story is a buildup for anon to sing the lyrics of the song allstar by smash mouth.

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.

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.

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

It’s probably meant to be circumference which would be about 4.1 cm in diameter, which is above average but not humongous.

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.

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

I think a big problem would be population size. China has about the same population as all of Africa. So the question would be where immigrants should come from. I imagine to be helpful china would probably have to become a popular destination for migrants from all of Africa and Asia at a very large scale.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

What I don’t get is why Marxist leninists seem to support Russia in this conflict, just because it was ruled by a Marxist Leninist party over 30 years ago. The current Russian regime is just as capitalist as any western government. The only plausible reason to me is that they still see capitalism as synonymous with “the west” even though it is a global system which rules all large nations today.

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.
