I'm not sure if I understood your deduction. The literal translation of "Zange" would be "tongs", "pliers" or "pincer". Hinges are the things that make doors swing and hold to a wall right?

Multiple source say the origin of the word isn't documented but the best explanation they come up with is that pliers can be used to bend something into a different form.

My guess was it has its origin in the proverb "Das würde ich nicht mal mit der Kneifzange anfassen" which translates to "I wouldn't even touch that with pliers" as in stuff you detest that much that you rather would stay away from it.

Maybe whataboutism here but there are beagles in the UK right now waiting to be experimented on them (possibly for a new dog food brand) and eventually killed. There are billions of animals all around the world dying a slow and agonizing death, trapped in CAFO facilities right now, of whom 20% alone are getting fed to dogs in the US.

I think some cat getting fed a well formulated vegan cat food containing taurine, vitamin A & D3, omega 3 & 6, magnesium, copper, iodine, selenium, manganese, zink & calcium is astronomically better off than any aforementioned animals.

I fed a cat I had to take in for some time the AMI brand. She was wild for it.

Don't downvote this guy who says that guy's right, they're right.

Thanks for the source. So yeah "Potato Chip Technology That Destroys Your Hearing" doesn't sound reassuring. Nonetheless I'd take those packaging everyday over conventional knowing I did my thing while getting fat.

Eating out of conventional chips packaging in cinemas or libraries should be punishable either way. I think in reality those customers problem was the "open the bag at night without waking up everyone" problem which should be preventable with a bit of planning.

They were louder than the aluminium/plastic bags? What material did they use? Also what a lazy argument by the producer for giving up environmental actions. Bet it just cost them more.

Easy fix if nothing works. Find the specific pipewire-version that causes the webcam bug, compile and install it, possibly render your sound settings partially defunct on the way and hook up a webcam. Thank me later.

Have you looked into the "Activity" settings within system settings already? When you click on the default activity there you should see the option "Automatically shutting down or sleeping". I'm sure you already tinkered with the energy system-settings.

If you want a nice introduction to why a proper plant based diet is in most cases better for longevity listen to this interview. The 2½ hours are really rewarding and you'll get some very important (live-prolonging) information:

This 7 min excerpt from the interview briefly touches why changing our diets is imperative for the survivability of future generations:

Bill Ackmann (a 9 bn dollar heavy reptiloid billionaire) posted a lengthy rant against it on that birdsite and our lord and saviour Elmo concurred and proclaimed that it's racist, immoral and illegal although similar programs were already in place since 1964 in the USA.

MAGAs regularly claim that it's the fault of DEI when something goes south, e.g. Boeing machines failing, the CrowdStrike thingy, the bridge crash in Baltimore or Harris getting to the position she's now in.

He barely aged since 2016. At least mentally and physically he runs circles around both of the other gramps. Recent interview with Colbert.

Edit: OFC it would be nevertheless delusional to nominate him instead of Harris. He can still influence future democrat policies from the background.
