Yeah, pretty sure it's total consumption divided by number of inhabitants. So all the Chinese shit we (are forced to) consume is in those numbers.

Schmuppes ,

A lot of free time is great if you've got the funds to make it meaningful to you. Unemployment tends to not give you a lot of headroom in that regard.

Schmuppes ,

So she's local? Don't miss the opportunity!

Schmuppes ,

When in history did anybody take away billionaires' money?

Schmuppes ,

They took away power and status, not primarily the money.

Schmuppes ,

Those who toy with the devil are sure to get burned, huh?

Schmuppes ,

You're right, they wouldn't. But maybe they can be convinced with burning pitchforks.

Schmuppes ,

Steel Panther, before they jumped the shark.

Schmuppes ,

Unemployment benefits that are measured by your last monthly income don't require 12 months without interruption, but 12 months combined over the prior 24 months.

About ALG II: Not sure where you get the 20 sqm per person from, it really depends. If you have a reasonable rent compared to local levels, they will cover it. I currently live in a pretty modest and cheap 40 sqm apartment and it was paid for when I was looking for jobs right after university. In addition to rent and free health insurance, you currently get 502 € per month to live on, which is pitiful given the current price levels. But yes, it's sufficient to buy your groceries if you watch your spendings. Long term, it sucks since you never can afford anything unexpected, something you don't need but would like to have or, god forbid, go on a little vacation trip.

What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?

I have to say it’s my virtual assistant I’ve made. It saves me a lot of time with making reminders and such alarms for meetings or interviews, music etc.

A dishwasher is a luxury for sure, but it's also more economical when it comes to water and electricity than your sink is. Plus it saves quite a bit of time.

Larian publishing director on mass layoffs: 'None of these companies are at risk of going bankrupt. They were just at risk of pissing off the shareholders' ( www.pcgamer.com )

Speaking with Game File (users will encounter a paywall) at the Game Developers Choice Awards, Larian director of publishing Michael Douse gave his take on the current state of the industry, including some sharp criticism on the wave after wave of mass layoffs we've been seeing....

Would you consider Wild Wild West to be a Weird West movie? ( lemmy.zip )

When I was thinking about starting this Lemmy community, I tried writing down every single Weird West work I'd seen, read, or played. In that list, I added Wild Wild West. But now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I'd call it a Weird Western....

Schmuppes ,

Him telling that story will never not be funny to me.

Schmuppes ,

Nothing wrong with keeping an eye on your spendings, but stinginess is a trait of character I absolutely despise. And I say that as someone who's had little money for most of their adult life.

She was apparently known as the friendly neighbour who would bake tasty cookies and help kids by giving them private lessons.

Wtf is this

Schmuppes ,

They probably went to the cinema to watch those broadcasts.

Schmuppes ,

Mountain lion!

Edit: Oh, I'm in superbowl...

Schmuppes ,

I'm asking myself why there doesn't seem to be any ground pins.

Schmuppes ,

The screw is recessed, it will never make contact with the plug. Also, the plugs are made of plastic where the screw is located.

Schmuppes ,

Absolute madlad.

Schmuppes ,

Because the tap water is subject to the same legal framework, that's why you assume it has the same quality standards.

Schmuppes ,

Might be far up North. Some lake in Finland or something.

Updated Covid vaccine has 54% effectiveness, new data suggest ( www.statnews.com )

New data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that the most recent Covid-19 booster offers about 54% percent protection against infection with the virus....

Schmuppes ,

54% effectiveness against infection sounds pretty good to me.

Schmuppes ,

I wasn't planning on drinking with you either, bud!

Schmuppes ,

That's nasty and something I would prefer not to know about.

Schmuppes ,

The Bundeswehr had 916 units, of which one third crashed and killed 116 pilots (without active combat of course). Holy fucking shit.

Marine in Vietnam holding M14 with 30 round magazine. ( lemmy.world )

Full description: I saw an AK-47 while in Vietnam and it had a 30 round magazine. So I cut the top and bottom off of a couple of M-14 Magazines and welded them together and made a “40” Round magazine for my M-14. It really didn’t work very well when test firing it, several of the last rounds would not chamber with only two...
