Ice is more dense than oil, so it sinks to the bottom of the fryer. There it turns into liquid water anathema immediately into steam. This steam needs at least 1000 times more space than the ice cube (1700 times more than water under normal pressure) and blows all the oil out of the fryer. I would expect quite a fountain. In a science fair experiment 10ml of water in a cup of hot oil gave a considerable fireball and a splash zone of about 1.5m. Dropping in a piece of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) just made a little bit of a fizzle.

Seit den 90er oder so wurden viele Krankenhäuser privatisiert, weil das mach Neoliberaler Ansicht finanziell für alle günstiger war. Die Investoren zogen Gewinne raus, investierten wenig in die Zukunft und nun stehen die Krankenhäuser vor dem finanziellen Ruin. Natürlich werden jetzt die Verluste vom Staat aufgefangen.

Manchmal denke ich, das war der Plan von Anfang an….

They are built on a third party frame, in my case a „Clevo“. The only difference to standard notebooks is that they take care of all the drivers and select parts for Linux compatibility.

Compare the model you want to the Clevo products. Perhaps you’ll find it there.

I got a Framework now, much better in my eyes.

The official denazification ended in both parts of Germany before 1950. All the Nazis were needed. It was not talked about what individuals had done before 45.

In the GDR it was by definition that all the Nazis had gone to the FRG. Prosecution came to a standstill. Nothing like the Zentralstelle in Ludwigsburg existed.

The silence about the time ended in the FRG with the Auschwitz trials in Frankfurt and the student movement from the mid 60ies onwards. Willy Brandt on his knees in Warsaw kicked off some hearty discussions. Later there was the Holocaust TV series with a heavy impact.

And this is the real denazification of the population. The discourse about personal responsibility for historical events changed the society. I had such Nazi teachers in the 70ies, but they got challenged by younger teachers and older pupils. My music teacher went into early retirement after he was challenged for his current and past behaviour.

This has reached about 2/3 of the population in the west. The rest is still authoritarian and votes for AFD and CDU. In the east authoritarianism is still wide spread, because challenging authority was not a good idea under SED rule. And after the Wende it was all sugar coated by Kohl.

The problem will sadly grow, I fear. Because people who are not happy with the political climate can move away. And they do it, just got a new neighbour from Chemnitz.

I beg to differ. It stopped shortly after the war in east and west. But the west had 1968 and in the GDR the older generation was never asked what they did in the war. All the nazis had gone to the west by definition.

That is one point, but I thought of the rescue guys who have to go into the wall to pick up the body. Can be in a very unsafe place. Or the other drivers on the road in the case of driving a motorcycle at the limit.

I can understand the joy of bringing your body to go to the boundary and a bit beyond. For me it end far before tackling a cliff. More like balancing over a beam across a creek. But I can’t understand how one can take the risk of your own death or the harm of others.

So Brits under 35 can go to live for a while in Romania. Nice prospect, beats freedom of movement in the whole EU by far…

And after your holiday you return and find the history books changed to Columbus discovering a nearly empty continent in 1492 and a archeological record of a big, continent wide pandemic, killing nearly all of the humans. Countless civilisations crashed by mass deaths…..

You can’t delete a mail you sent me, nor put your hand written letter to me in the bin. I can keep both and I can keep your name and addresses in my little black book. So there isn’t even that level of privacy in the real old fashioned communication.

And communication over the Internet was always the subject of storage. Your mail may be on the backup tape of a mail server. Your usenet posting is on archive.

So the assumption that the fediverse can forget….

Started with Lastpass, but migrated to Bitwarden because of open source. And then came the trouble at Lastpass.

… who was an ambassador for 1 1/2 years and had no political functions before and after. He is a real estate guy, film producer and horse race aficionado. So no real source.

Not sure what your point here is, pretty much all western politicians have these sorts of backgrounds.

Interesting statement of fact. Let's check it.

  • Joe Biden: Lawyer, in politics since the age of 27
  • Kamela Harris: in public service and politics directly after law school
  • Ron DeSantis: Law school, millitary, poltician
  • Ursula von der Leyen: LSE, housewife, politician
  • Charles Michel: Member of parliament at age 23
  • Olaf Scholz: Lawyer, in national politics since 1998
  • Justin Trudeau: Son ;-) , teacher, non profit, politician
  • Emmanuel Macron: public servant, banker (5 years), public service and politician
  • Anthony Albanese: politics after uni
  • Giorgia Meloni; politics after uni

A list of 10 not so influential western politicians. Ok, you said "pretty much all", I am waiting for at least 20. I'll give you Trump and Sunak.

My point: Your source was an ambassador in an unproblematic nice to live in country, just as a thank you from his President. The work was done by the 1st Attaché. No politician, no influence. Crap as a source.

It’s a proxy war by NATO against Russia, and yes this war is costing Russia lives. However, it’s becoming clear that this war is starting to cost the west quite a bit as well. The economy in Europe is suffering quite a bit right now, and the cost of living continues to climb which is leading to a lot of political unrest.

It's a war by Russia against Ukraine, where Ukraine gets help from NATO and other countries. And of course it's costly, but you are getting off course. Which seems to be systemic to your argumentation.

But I think most of them would have preferred if Russia had respected the Budapest Memorandum.

Russia tried Ukraine and the west to respect the Minsk agreements for nearly a decade. Now western leaders openly admit that they never intended to, and this was all a ploy to arm Ukraine for the coming conflict.

Either you don't know your history or you want to go off the topic again. Budapest is not Minsk, and both treaties are not the same.

In the Budapest Memorandum Russia guaranteed to honour the then existing borders of Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. In exchange these nations gave their part of the nuclear arsenal of the USSR to Russia.

Russia broke that treaty 20 years later with the invasion of Crimea. The Minsk Protocol was trying to calm down the tensions resulting from that breach of contract. Nowhere in the Minsk Protocol is a clause that forbids Ukraine to arm. Which cluses were broken by NATO or Ukraine? The text is online.

I'll ignore the rest about NATO and warnings and so on. You are just flooding the zone because you want to distract from the fact that you are defending the invasion of an independent country by Russia.
