EXTRA MEATY OR JUST MEATY?

DIESE BULETTE IST JETZT EIGENTUM DER BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND.

although I’m not sure how that situation happens

Both the warning lights and the rain can be easily explained by some braindead suit buying the wrong kind of fire suppression system because sprinklers using water are much cheaper than a system using a gaseous agent.

Great, now consulting a search engine on questions about vim the text editor will yield equally awkward results as consulting a search engine on matters concerning latex the typesetting system.

Why should the enshittification stop at the internet? Let’s enshittify the whole world for good measure.

Averages are always skewed by outliers. For a realistic assessment, we’d need a median value.

The Wikipedia Page on the Cologne Carnival is quite good, other than that, I don’t know any English source right now.

What kind of site is this? The pictures look like AI generated out of context garbage, and the text is weird, too.

Didn’t know kangaroos were that adapted to living upside down.

I think it’s more about the demographic of people frequenting the less mainstream online services (reddit is big, but still pretty niche). Germany is a country of technophobes, many of whom wouldn’t know a computer if it fell on their head from the 5th floor. So the demographic that is well versed enough in the field to make it to a less mainstream online community won’t have that much trouble trying out another one.

Coincidence, they just happen to have a high average in combination with low inequality.

Shitty metrics because averages are highly skewed by inequality.

The biggest carnival events take place in the Rhineland, with the Carnival parades in Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Mainz on Shrove Monday being by far the biggest single events. (The carnivals in the Rhineland are of the “mocking the French” variety)

The older flavour of carnival is mostly celebrated in the South with the main events taking place on Fat Thursday

Generally throughout the entire carnival season (regionally known as “The Fifth Season”), there are all sorts of carnival parties (basically dress up in some sort of costume and get drunk) and “carnival sessions” (basically big comedy/entertainment shows) with carnival speeches, often organised by carnival societies.

Germany, lots of carnival. In many regions the current carnival traditions date back to the Napoleonic era and were originally invented to mock the French. In some regions, they date back way further and are more about warding off evil spirits and shit.

Had to deal with an owl stuck in a chimney once, got a bit of advice from a chimney sweep: “Bash against the chimney to make as much noise as possible, that usually gets them to leave”. Went ahead and tried it, gave the chimney a good bashing, out went the (albeit a bit soot stained) owl, sat on the rim of chimney for a bit, giving off intense stares of disapproval, and finally flew off.

Hadn’t looked into that for a long time, will try. I think the biggest hurdle for me might be native Windows terminals still being shit.

vim on any *nix box, Notepad++ when forced to use Windows.
