Yes, we had such a guy. The owner wanted to turn that guy into the CEO of the company. We rebelled. Suddenly, he was “no longer available for the job for health reasons”.
Cheese from raw milk is already “not recommended” in my country for a number of people like immuncompromized, pregnant, etc. Basically, it is already known to be risky because of other sources of infection, H5N1 is just another “+1” for the pool of problems.

My brother-in-law and his wife made the reverse thing. He went to the US as a student (IIRC), met his future wife, they came back here, and now she is happy to be a German citizen.
I lived in a perfect OOP bubble for my entire life. Everything was peaceful and it worked perfectly. When I wanted to move that player, I do player.move(10.0, 0.0); When I want to collect a coin, I go GameMan -> collect_coin(); And when I really need a global method, so be it. I love my C++, I love my python and yes, I also love...
Absolutely no problem. I’ve done decades of programming in C, and it’s absolute fine. For a bigger project, you need discipline, yes, but there are bigger projects in C out there that prove that this can be done.
Actually, my error rate is way below that of my coworkers who do C++ and C#, despite that I’m working directly on the iron (i.e. there is no OS between me and the processor, no interprocess protection, or similar).
Die Frage ist: Was verlangen die da an Miete? Das ist ja schon öfter so, dass die Leute, die eine Wohnung bräuchten, die exorbitanten Mieten nicht zahlen könnten, und die, die das Geld haben, nicht in Wohnungen rein wollen, die weit unter ihrem Standard sind.
Es ist jedenfalls eindeutig, dass kontrollierte Ballung das A und das O zur Lösung der meisten Probleme der Moderne ist.
Diese “Probleme” würden mich jetzt mal interessieren. Denn das Ballen der Menschen nutzt den Menschen selber am wenigsten. Es macht sie höchstens besser kontrollierbar.
Die Zersiedlung wird ja auch nicht durch die Politik gefördert - Die nicht-Bezahlbarkeit des städtischen Wohnraums, die zu der Stadtflucht führt, ist das Resultat privater und gewerblicher Vermieter und Verkäufer, die den Hals nicht voll genug bekommen. Die Politik kann keine Mieten oder Verkaufspreise festlegen. Die Unattraktivität und Unbezahlbarkeit des Wohnraums ist eine Folge von Gier und Spekulation. Und das wird schlimmer werden, nicht besser.
I had it worse. I needed to book a hotel for a business trip, and they offered me two prices: Either take them cheaper, but you cannot cancel or get a refund, or you can spend a bit more, and cancel it up to one day before arrival for a “cancellation fee”, which amount was not disclosed at that moment.
I booked the latter one, and in the booking confirmation it said that the cancellation fee is exactly the same as the cost for the room!

I would not decry this. He is not looking for a strong, viable candidate. What he wants is a perfect bootlicker, and based on that criteria, she is prime VP material.
I don’t think mandatory voting is a good solution. This is mostly practices in autocratic/dictatorial states, and would have a bad taste to it.
What should be done is to either make voting day a public holiday (with mandatory “half day off” rule for anyone who would still have to work in retail or services), or just move it to a Sunday, like many other countries have done ages ago.
Well, the LLM was prompted to find the odd one. Which I consider a (relatively) easy one. Reading the headline, I thought that the LLM was able to point this out by itself, like “Excuse me, but you had one sentence about pizza toppings in your text about programming. Was that intended to be there for some reason, or just a mistaken CTRL-V?”
