TIL Micron produces in Taiwan

Not only that, you add two changes in material on top (copper > glue > pan), which add even more resistance

Was at school, classes were just about over, but suddenly it got dark. Like nightfall dark. So dark one after another just silently started looking outside the window. Then the sky tinted slightly green - a phenomenon that in hindsight they should tech about at school, because it usually means shit is about to go down. Teacher was like: ‘Okay, that looks really bad, pack your things, class is almost over anyway’.

I went outside with some friends. It had already started raining. Initially we wanted to wait under some roof in front of the school, thinking it was just a heavy summer shower. There were no reports on anything - no storms, nothing. But it kept. Getting. Worse.

Worse than anyone of us had ever seen, yet no signs of imrpovement. We started getting nervous. I called my mom to pick me up. She told me whem she was there, but it had already gotten bad enough that I was reluctant to step into that shit. Like, I had an umbrella, but it seemed like it wouldn’t do much at that point.

When we sensed an ever so small opening we took off. I went to the parking lot, my friends to the bus station, which was the other way. (They all lived in completely different directions, in case you’re wondering why my mom didn’t want to drive them.) Everyone covered with whatever they got. When I arrived at the car, I was wet to the bone waist downwards.

My mom drove home ultra carefully. Visibility was basically none. It was like driving through a carwash. I texted my friends, they made it to the bus. However, the bus driver was not prepared for fucking rivers and ponds forming on the streets, so eventually they go stuck and had to walk home through knees deep water.

Even those with ‘waterproof’ backpacks had their school stuff ruined - which they of course presented like war trophies the next day and probably saved them some homework they didn’t do in the first place. So yeah, that’s the story of how we witnessed, probably one of the heaviest rainfalls our city had ever seen. Monsoon-like in Germany, completely out of nowhere.

If we had waited at school, we would have been stuck there. There was some heavy damage too. Our school’s basements were flooded for example. Our school is build on a hill.

I don’t know how popular they are, but this German right here is living off them and there are multiple German startups shipping them to your doorstep. The good ones are one step below fresh food, but a good step above convenience, so they just make sense for me

A significant portion of accidents involving cyclists is from others not paying enough attention to them - which can be mitigated by proper bike infrastructure.

Unfortunately we cannot mitigate the recklessness of cyclists this way, another big contributor to the accident statistics.

Obligatory ‘Fuck Google’.

They should just straight up put a big, red exclamation mark on averages for places where unusually many reviews are removed, with an appeal process for the business, not the users.

On that lawsuit thing thought: You don’t risk anything by appealing. Courts don’t care what Google has to say. The business can sue you right away, they don’t need to remove anything first. If what you said are simple facts however, there is nothing they can do. Nothing but ask Google to remove it anyway.

…That they have to shut down all the time because of droughts. And they basically need to rebuild half of it, because the maintenance cost is so high, it is constantly pushed into the future.

Few emissions? Yeah. Good? Nope.

Believe it or not, they sold all 20

Sir, this is a shitpost community…

This is a wild concept for other cultures. Like, in Germany people will help you move. Your friends that is. Maybe a coworker or neighbour - if you even know any neighbour at all. That is all but a given here as well. But some random guy? Nah…

Oh and you absolutely have to rent a truck. I don’t know a single truck person. There is no such thing as having a truck, unless you need it for business. Long story short: I just paid a company >2k to move just one town over
