I got my first extra hour the day after I was born.

Edit: I was wrong, it turns out there was no DST in my country when I was born. So I definitely banked it.

I know, since I replied to this:

I think they’re saying that children who are born in the new country should be counted as foreigners. Which is kinda fucked up but yea

Looking up the article the baseline is French and English I’d say. So it might be biased, but I didn’t read the article and even if I did, I’m a chemical engineer so what do I know of this field.

It would actually depend on where in Germany you are going, but since the first Turkish “Gastarbeiter” (among others, quite some nationalities) came to West Germany over 60 years ago, it is not uncommon to meet people of Turkish descent there. (East Germany not so much, they had Vietnamese workers but mostly deported them back to Vietnam after the re-unification.) Combine these Gastarbeiter (and the three generations after them) with a declining native birth rate and an influx of asylum seekers, and it could well be 40-50% all together.

The big question is what the problem is here, and the answer is that the far right wants it to be a problem so they can come to power. So they’ll bloody make it a problem and try and sabotage any solutions. These last lines are my personal opnion obviously.

Calorie restriction is not the same as not eating.

I’d rather not stop eating…

Depends on your definition, but most foods are healthier than not eating.

From what I gathered (years ago, so take it with a grain of salt), he couldn’t get funding because he hugely miscalculated the distance to India if you’d travel west, like more than half the the distance. Most sailors and scolars knew better, but somehow he got the funding from the Spanish queen.

The reversed rule in plumbing is only for gas lines in the Netherlands.

Same here, except for my dad, he is clumsy as hell.

I don’t think I’ve ever owned any version of Windows.

I used it for the first time last week on a hike. It worked, but not intuitively at all. I had downloaded a GPX file which I imported in Osmand, and before I got the navigation working I had inadvertly added two waypoints.

I read earlier “someone” were a couple of college students.

Thanks

The literal meaning was defined “to drink”. If you drink something, it becomes a part of you.

Same for overmogen in the Netherlands. And eergisteren for the day before yesterday.

Yikes!

I actually get the graph that way.

Here you go!

How I’ve learned it is, that cognitive dissonance arises when one of your beliefs or behaviours is challenged by new information. This can make you uncomfortable, and to alleviate that, people have coping mechanisms. It’s probably these coping mechanisms which cause other people to say you suffer from cognitive dissonance. There’s a quite good Wikipedia article on this imo.
