  • Just to make it clear, the second part was a joke.

    About the other, relatives actually got 6 chickens. The main investment is time and land, and occasionally a trip to the vet. Given the US prices… if you eat eggs regularly and don’t want to miss it then I’d assume it’s cheaper, would have to ask for a details myself though (they jokingly said once they would save a ton in the US right now). It heavily depends on outside factors though (less land, dangers = more expensive).










  • Depending on your profession a small team just proved that you can even fly as high as it gonna gets.

    More often than not the main problem is how our education system is set up, teaching certain topics like CAD or image manipulation with specific software from companies which “invest in education” (i.e. pay Universities and educators to create future customers for them). Adobe and Autodesk are the biggest dicks in this regard, but also Apple.

    Back to games, the general rule by now is “if it is on Steam and doesn’t have the worst anti-cheat, it usually works”. Outside of Steam you may have to tinker a little bit, but Heroic and Lutris make this easier by the week. The biggest problems more often than not are the god damn third-party launchers.

    Every freedom ends where freedoms of others are infringed. That includes every freedom, let it be freedom of movement (you can go wherever, but not someone else’s house), freedom of expression (you can express yourself however, unless that expression instills hatred towards others, inflicts trauma on kids etc. etc.) and yes, also freedom of speech (You can say anything, unless what you do is calling for violence, attacks someone etc.).

    Some of you US guys really don’t understand how freedom in a society works.



  • That already shifted since 2022, in eastern European countries even since 2014. Granted that these things take time, although companies like Rheinmetall are currently getting investments like hell to build production lines quickly.

    In general EU military usually gets sold as too weak for a multitude of reasons. We indeed cut too much investment in the national militaries for too long, however European arms manufacturers are going strong. There’s also the general notion especially in western Europe (and especially in Germany) of not wanting to be seen militaristic but humanistic, which is generally a good thing until someone from the outside tries to take advantage through military force (among other things).

    That said, Poland now got a lot of influence in Brussels regarding EU military politics, as other nations had to admit they were right about Russia and their own military strategy all along. And they’re rather blunt about what’s necessary as far as I know.
