It isn’t very funny. (Sorry if my German is showing)

Celsius. That would be 86°F.

We’ve had this kind of shit for decades. It’s a manager’s “make it more interesting”, no matter if the executing side is a robot or an underpaid graphics design intern.

You asked about lemmy.world specifically. They are on lemmy but not on lemmy.world. People from different instances talking to each other is the whole point of lemmy (and the fediverse as a whole).

Based on my income after taxes and mandatory insurances (health, retirement and so on):

• 25% rent (including water)
• 15% utilities (electricity, heating, internet, phone plan)
• 10-15% food (including comfort food like sweets)
• 5-10% insurance and stuff for my unemployed partner
• on average 5% other necessities (public transport, clothing, …)

More like the difference between what it costs to make a game and what they make back.

It‘s basically the same as the Bambu slicer but without the branding and with some additional features. You can install the Bambu network plugin and use your printer without modifications.

And honestly, with modern build plates, there is absolutely no reason to use glue. At least for PLA.

Have you clicked the link? It’s literally the relevant passage from the „Jugendschutzgesetz“ (youth protection law) which is a federal law.

Summer Games Fest, the successor to E3

At home I use a 1L glass bottle with straight sides and a wide opening, metal lid and a neoprene sleeve. It’s cheap, easy to clean and does its job.

The obvious downside is that it’s heavy and can break if you drop it but I don’t travel a lot so that’s fine for me.

Median productivity goes up yet median quality of life goes down.

I haven’t played much past creating characters and redesigning their home so if you want to know how the actual lifesim aspect feels, I would recommend the 45 minutes of gameplay video on the official channel.

That being said, the creative side is amazing. Even though you don’t have as many clothing items and objects as Sims 4 has accumulated over the years, what you have is extremely flexible. Everything (skin, hair, clothes, furniture, walls, floors, …) can be freely recolored, often with multiple color slots and patterns. Clothes can be layered so you can freely pick which jacket goes with which shirt - and of course you can color them separately. Furniture can be resized, often separately in different dimensions and they will procedurally adapt to those new dimensions. For example, two-seater and three-seater couches are the same item. Just make a two-seater a bit wider and a third seat appears.

I could go on but I guess you get the general idea.

There are a few bugs (most noticeably a broken animation when a Para gets up from sitting at a desk) but for an early access indie game it’s already more stable than I would have expected.

Pentecost Monday is a holiday where I live. I binged almost an entire season of Game Changer and created my first Paralives household.

It is not. See JuSchG § 9, section 2: “Section 1, number 1 does not apply to adolescents in company of a legal guardian”. Section 1, number 1 restricts beer, wine, cider and similar drinks under the age of 16 and an adolescent (“Jugendlicher”) is defined as 14+.

In total, that means that you are allowed to buy and drink the listed kinds of alcoholic beverages starting at 14, as long as a legal guardian is present and allows it. Even in public.

For other alcoholic beverages (e.g. liquor) or food that contains significant amounts of alcohol, there is a hard limit at 18+, no exceptions.

Keeping a respectfully low profile is never a bad idea.

I certainly hope that it goes without saying that you should be respectful towards others, just like everywhere else in the world. I just wanted to clarify that Germany is not some totalitarian dystopia where you immediately go to prison for insulting someone.

This thread gives me so many opportunities to go “well actually” with useless knowledge.

Pepper spray is kind of legal in Germany. You can freely buy it without age restrictions as a defense against wild animals. It is however illegal to deliberately use it against humans. But then again, German self-defense law allows you to use “whatever is necessary” to prevent an attack. So if you can make a compelling argument that your bare hands were not enough, you can totally use pepper spray, a knife, a baseball bat or even a gun to protect yourself, your property or others. Of course, for the gun you might be on the hook for illegal possession but that’s a different question.

On the other hand, CS gas (a form of tear gas) is fully legal for use on humans.

Insulting people can result in criminal prosecution in Germany.

Technically yes but realistically it only gets prosecuted in extreme cases. Like throwing feces at someone or distributing leaflets with your insults. If you just call someone an asshole, no police officer in the country will even bother with it. It’s hard to prove who said what and the maximum sentence is extremely low.

I think you’re confusing us with the British.

Germans are careful about anything that could be considered antisemitic because of history but unless you go straight to Nazi slogans, there is no law that forbids you from being critical of Israel. Insulting someone can be illegal but that can only be applied if you insult a specific person, not a country and it’s only enforced in extreme cases.

So unless OP plans to join a full-blown anti-Israel protest that risks getting violent, I don’t think they have to worry about that.
