I think it is a given that you can create scenarios for every law that make the law look stupid.

I doubt that the amount of 9 seater cars with enough people inside is actually significant to recalculate the law.

The decision by weight is most likely done as this is a value which can be easily evaluated.

By my European standards that is definitely an SUV for me. It is less about ability to see a pedestrian than it is about the ability to kill if someone gets hit with a high vehicle front.

It is also about taking up a lot of space. European streets are small an parking spots are also small. These big cars frequently take up more than 1 parking spot.

Man kann ja sicherlich noch einige Dinge von der Steuer absetzen. Wenn man nur Kapitalerträge hat würde man ja nur 25% steuern zahlen. Davon kann man mindestens mal ein Arbeitszimmer und einige Versicherungen absetzen. So landet man dann schnell bei 24%.

As a SW Engineer from Germany, you will be surprised how much code exists in other languages. But I would expect companies on the edge of technology, who are either working closely with universities or with open source, that they usually chose English.

I am totally with you. I have had a 144Hz monitor for 2 years now. I am 100% sure that everything was configured correctly and I could spot some small differences in the UFO test. But other than that I do not feel any differences in day-to-day activities or games. Windows reset my frequency settings occasionally, but I never noticed it.

Du bist sehr versessen auf diese Extraanforderungen, aber die sind weder sonderlich extrem, noch sind sie was besonderes. Ich bin mir sicher die Stelle, die du bei der Unternehmensberatung bekommst hat ein ähnliches (vielleicht etwas technischeres) Anforderungsprofil.

Ich habe einen Job bekommen zu dem ich erst nach dem unterschreiben die Ausschreibung gesehen habe. Da hätte ich mich nie Beworben weil ich keinen der Punkte erfüllte. Und das war in der freien Wirtschaft.

Sure, but that still means you are not reaching someone by phone at work during 4 hours of you previously mentioned 8-17 Windows.

As someone currently working from Ireland with my usual office in Germany (laptop still configured this way) with a Team from India and DST ending next week, I would prefer to drop the calculations and just remember when each colleague approximately comes online. That is not the same for each colleague and day anyways.

But you are making assumptions which are not really true anywhere. Working hours I Spain and Germany are already white different. Main reason is of course that they share the same time zone by law, but are not geographically in the same time zone. But there are some additional differences in culture which extend this effect.

It of course depends on the age and social circle, but generally people are:

  • Standing around talking
  • Eating food in the kitchen
  • Drinking Alcohol (maybe drinking games)
  • Sometimes dancing (but usually not everyone)

I would say most parties I have gone through have been dominated by progressively drunk talking and through this getting to know new people.

I do not have a problem with looking at the connector when I can see it. But often enough I am fumbling a cable into some connector behind a PC, docking station or at night when the light is out.

Exactly. This is what the person you are responding to is saying as well.

They state that the above definition of socialism is wrong as it defines it as a from of capitalism with social features. But under the condition that this is meant he would move into these countries.

Oder sind vom riesige. Skizirkus einverleibt worden.

Aber vor allem am Rand der Alpen oder in den Mittelgebirgen gibt es quasi nichts mehr.
