Nutzt ihr ? Dann solltet ihr auch diese Betrugsmasche kennen: Unbekannte senden Geld und schreiben euch danach, dass die Zahlung ein Versehen sei. Sie bitten darum, den Betrag über "Freunde und Familie" zurückzuzahlen. Macht ihr das, ziehen sie anschließend ihre eigene Zahlung wieder zurück. Deren Zahlung ist für euch futsch und auch euer gezahltes Geld bekommt ihr nicht wieder!

Schutz: Tippt auf die Buchung und nutzt den Button "Rückzahlung senden"! Mehr dazu: https://www.verbraucherzentrale.nrw/node/95035

In comparing the costs of cars vs public transport, they excluded most of the costs of cars. Huh?!

'Though car ownership usually involves additional costs such as maintenance, registration and insurance, which can increase the total cost of ownership, for this story we only considered petrol and toll costs'

(And PT still came out cheaper)

Next time someone calls themselves a 'futurist', maybe read the futurist manifesto they're alluding to..
"We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.
We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice."

Btw the techno-optimist manifesto quotes and references Marinetti who wrote both the futurist and fascist manifestos

For some reason, I also have a few clubbing related links. If you like electronic music and play around with it yourself, I recommend the podcast with Alex McLean about live coding.
