We might want to stop mining new copper before the people in this region run out of water, though?

Because knowing companies they will not stop on their own.

Somewhat unironic This:

There is lots of copper (and other materials) rotting in our waste dumps. But as long as mining new ore is cheaper than recycling, tariffs or taxes are one way to stir the industry the right way.

So I guess Dobrindt is also taking care of the remaining Afghan people who helped support the Bundeswehr during their mission and were promised place in Germany, right? RIGHT?

Both. We can’t perceive the world exactly the same way as another person. Therefore, what we make of it is also individual and every point of view is valid in its own way.

Take a Rorschach-Test, for example. There are examples most people can agree on, they show a specific thing. Others are wildly subjective. What a creator intends to invoke with their creation and what the audience receives are not necessarily the same, but that doesn’t invalidate one side’s interpretation.

Hmh, where have I heard this before? *cough* Atomic waste *cough*

According to the Federal Bureau of Statistics the median income in 2024 in Germany was € 52,159 . 60% of this value is € 31,295.4. A worker with a 40 hour work week and the mandates 28 days of paid vacation days worked 1784 hours in 2024. Therefore by dividing 60% of the median income per year with hours worked per year we get the targeted hourly pay: € 17.55/h.

I am not sure why this seems to be an impossible task for you.

This entirely depends on your point of view.

We also passively vote on the law by electing the people in charge of passing it. Why not also vote on the people interpreting it?

How else do you want to fill the position for a judge? By a panel of experts? Who decides who is part of this panel? Who decides what the selection process is?

Effectively there is a popular voting process somewhere. The debate is only where exactly in the chain.

What’s the movie/short story called again?

“insufficient voltage control capacity” on the system that day, due in part to a programming flaw

Human error not “faulty renewables”

1. I have not personally purchased files off Etsy, but the way you describe it this has clearly the potential for a scam.
2. I am not aware of any current attacks on 3D printers or the software ecosystem around it using prepared files. In any case, you should research what file formats the service you want to use accepts.
3. Since we all a little different, as you say it is unlikely to be a good fit straight out of the box. How easy it is to adjust the model depends on the type of files the model maker provides. STLs are basically finished models meant to be directly used in a slicer software to create the necessary machine code for production. Many slicers have basic capacities to scale or stretch models, but for complex geometry this is hardly sufficient for adaptations. For example, this maker included a project file for Fusion360 that is able to be easily adjusted via parameters. However, AFAIK it is not common for commercial makers to include a project file, because that’s effectivly like giving away the construction blueprint for your product. Depending on the makers willingness they might provide you with an model tailered to your messurments.
4. That depends entirely on the volume and complexity of the model. Of course the model itself uses material but also support structure to hold the model while printing adds to the price.
5. As Cults3D as a commercial provider handels hosting of the files I’m personally much more inclined to buy there instead of Etsy with the promise to receive a link to the actuall files.

I’d rather prefer both sides losing.

And then a proper democratic revolution on both sides again.

I am afraid I got bad news for you.

Was that ever up for debate? I mean, what do people believe happens when one takes a creature adapted to breathing through water out of said water?

This song captures your comment perfectly IMHO: Upbeat on the outside, dark as hell on the inside.,

Interesting. I didn’t click anything because I viewed it via archive.

Reality appears to have a strong bias to the left. /s

I think I missed it somewhere: What’s TACO?

Looks somewhat underwhelming but on the other hand I am no demolition expert or structural engineer.
