    Jein. It’s not as bad as OP makes it sound, and I’ve never seen a 10 let alone 12 organic eggs in Germany for 2€ but I also live in the city.

    What you’re looking at here look like organic (bio) eggs, likely from a very expensive bio-store. Typical prices for eggs in Denver for organic eggs are 7.49 for 12 or .62¢ a egg at a store comparable to REWE. - Non-bio eggs get down to 4.99 on sale for 12 or .41 an egg.

    Here at my REWE in Köln organic eggs are 3.39 for 10 or .33 an egg. So they are actually only twice the price for organic which is due to the killing of millions of chickens because of bird flue.




  • The specs required for these games is low, fortunately. Cheaper gaming laptops typically go for twice your max budget. Looking for a used laptop is the way I would go with the budget. I have the specs for fortnite below, but keep in mind, these are the minimum expectations not what you should get. I would search for something with 1.5-2x these specs if you expect your kid to have the laptop for more the 3-4 years and the demands of future games.

    I use Jebora and am happy, is there something important I’m missing? I was a Reddit is Fun user before and I like both because of how simple and basic they are. I hated the official reddit app for the reasons above.

    Edit: the one thing I don’t like is you can’t, or I don’t know how, to collapse all child comments.


  • Dear Germans, When someone had a grandfather who was Turkish that doesn’t make their german born descendants Turkish… They are german.

    Dear brits, The Indian guy who’s grand parents were born in Britain… he’s not “the Indian guy”, he’s brittish.

    Dear French, French is not a skin color. It’s a nationality. A black guy can be French too.

    With contempt

    Immigrant descendents in Europe.

    The thing about people’s roots is it’s complicated, messy, and not only an American problem. More compassion and understanding goes a long ways.


  • It is easy to find many other sources with the same statistics. These as I understand them are people who speak 2 languages and not people who have simply learned some of a second language. There are a lot of American people speaking Spanish in the US, of course there are also for example, 1.5 million who speak vietnamese.

    This is broadly true with white Americans when their immigrant background is there already for generations… but a huge part of america does not even speak English at home. America is a melting pot of people from everywhere in the world and they naturally bring their languages, food, and culture with them. It is easy to forget, especially when only looking at specific demographics of a diverse country.






  • Yes and no. It is not in your face anti EV, that would be too obvious and it does not need to be. Answer a few questions for yourself (don’t worry answering them to me).

    Will this article make people want to buy a EV as their only car?

    Is this article mostly for or against EVs? Would you say it’s 80 or 90 percent about the problems of owning a EV?

    Does this article have fair criticism of gas cars and gas Infrastructure in wild fires? Do they even mention the issues with gas cars and fires?

    Will people question the safety of a EV after reading this?

    They address peoples personal safety while charging, specifically for woman (the most likely buyer of a EV). They talk about back areas, poorly lit places where you are alone and they could be dangerous. How will this make women feel when considering their next car purchase?

    The US like everywhere has a history of nearly 100% gas cars and gas car infrastructure. To have a article pointing out that gas car infrastructure is better than electric vehicles infrastructure is shortly said as no shit, how is that not obvious? So then what’s the point of pointing out the obvious? More importantly what’s the cause of pointing this out? More people will consider not buying a EV. When less people buy a EV there will be less infrastructure for them. See where this is going?

    I get it, you feel like we need to talk about the problem to fix them. But do we? Is this not obvious already? Do we all not know that taking a EV into remote areas and wildfires may not the the best of ideas?


  • EVs are great in 999 ways out of 1000, but let’s find one extreme example of how they may not work perfectly in extreme conditions that won’t happen to the majority of people. There are obvious bias things in the article, as with many anti-EV articles as gas companies pour millions every year into anti-EV articles. Do they mention gas stations are turned off around fires for obvious reasons so gas vehicles also have issues - nope. There are simple obvious solutions around this that are simply not presented.

    It just reminds me of an article that I read everywhere about how a tesla blew up. Nearly every article talked about it like it just spontaneously blew up. Nearly no article mentioned that it blew up after it collided into a huge boulder on the road. Nor did they mention that the driver was totally fine as it caught fire half an hour after the accident. Or the obvious, that gas cars can also blow up but they slam into a boulder at high speeds.
