I suppose you’re wearing baggy clothes? Because I’ve never had this issue despite running and cycling a lot

The reason is that there’s not an infinite amount of ressources. Integrating them properly works well as long as there are enough ressources, but when too many come in a too short timeframe it sadly does not work for all of them (also makes it much harder for them to get proficient at German since they can live in their own bubble and just talk in their native language).

(And we have many ressources, but we (Austria) took the most immigrants per capita of all central European countries, even significantly more than Germany which is known for having taken so many. We really are trying.)

What happened?

I hope so. I don’t want Android to become the new Apple

There only are so many resources for them. Here in many European countries the main issue (I think) is that with the current numbers we fail to teach them all our language (it’s simply not possible without having more language teachers available, and apart from needing those teachers that also needs more money). Without knowing the language their professional development is massively hindered, causing many to remain lower class, and causing disproportionately high crime rates among certain groups.

This leads to further problems: In the big cities there already are schools where people who speak the local language are a minority (for example in a primary school near me they have two classes for each grade (1-4) for children who can’t speak German yet and one class for all grades together for German speaking children).

So guess what people do: They go to a district with less immigrants, while the districts with many immigrants keep getting more immigrants (since cost of living is low there and as pointed out earlier many struggle to leave lower class). We’re re-creating segregation. This makes it even harder for those people to leave lower class, since they have no networking opportunities but only know others from lower class instead.

Even the left wing parties are now saying that we have to reduce immigration and instead integrate immigrants better.

Is that real

It also depends on native language. In German ground floor is “Erdgeschoß” (earth floor more or less), first floor / American second floor is “1. Obergeschoß” (~first upper floor).

(can also be “1. Stock” (~first floor), very common especially in spoken language since it’s shorter, but it also wouldnt make sense if the “1. Obergeschoß” was the “2. Stock” so obviously “1. Obergeschoß” = “1. Stock”)

So for me the British system makes much more sense since it makes more sense in German and I grew up with German.

Adding to that, it’s not even low testosterone when you’re taking artificial testosterone. People who need that just have low production, but in the end it’s the same when replacing it like that.

Each human has an amount of calories they burn even when they do nothing (the amount of calories you burn obviously goes up when doing things)

This basic calory burning or whatever it’s called in English is influenced by a few factors, one of them is how much muscle mass you have, those muscles need energy to simply exist, even when not exercising.

So people who regularly do sports indeed can eat more - they not only can eat more, they have to eat more (even when they do the exact same things as someone with less muscles)

But as you build up muscles you constantly need more, even when not doing anything

LLM have greatly increased my coding speed: instead of writing everything myself I let AI write it and then only have to fix all the bugs

Often the answers are pretty good. But you never know if you got a good answer or a bad answer.

That too of course

I suppose in the USA it’s also usual for the lower ranked person to salute first, then the higher ranked salutes back, higher ranked puts hand down again and then the lower ranked puts the hand down?

So by saluting to a North Korean general the highest man of the US-american army says he’s ranked lower than some North Korean general.

Truly awesome roommate

Hopefully that’ll change, iirc the EU discussed about requiring physical buttons for the highest safety rating a few months ago. Idk how that turned out but if it passed there’s hope

I love it when politicians in a democracy are doing things for the people.

Are these buttons in a room with us right now

Give me my buttons back

Each car has a maximum towing capacity (which is limited by a few factors, including brakes). If you often tow things upwards you’ll want a bigger motor to still accelerate in a reasonable time (I subconsciously assumed that everyone is towing things upwards because I live in a mountainous region, but I guess people from flat areas won’t tow things upwards). Downwards should be fine either way if you’re not exceeding your car’s maximum towing capacity, the criteria are strict enough for that.

And we don’t upgrade our motors but rather simply buy a stronger car. That typically also comes with better brakes, yes.

That said a quick Google search returns 500-600 kg for average horse weight and 600 kg for usual horse trailer weight. This means a VW Golf or similar will be able to tow a horse with no problems.

In Europe we just haul trailers (even horse trailers) with normal cars, of course with a stronger engine for special uses like horses but even a VW Golf is allowed to pull up to 1800 kg (= can pull a bit more than that).

I bet most US-americans with a truck aren’t even using their truck bed often - likely rarely enough for a normal car + trailer to be way more practical - and also much more efficient, but ig efficiency barely matters with your fuel prices. To stick with the VW Golf example: a modern VW Golf needs 4/4.5/5 l per 100 km (city/combined/highway), a ford F-150 needs 10.7/12.4/14.7 l per 100 km.
