...that's exactly what I mean. All the broken bits and pieces get shipped to Germany to make Milchreis because it really doesn't matter what the grains look like if you're soaking them to smithereens anyway. Into pudding, that is. Which you should totally try on a cold day: Dump into sweetened milk (vanilla if you want), quick boil, 30-40 minutes of soaking at falling/low heat, add cinnamon, maybe some coarse raw sugar for texture variation, eat as-is or with apple sauce.

Only got Jasmin or such at home and still crave the stuff? Well, prepare it. Nothing's stopping you.

Links but no screenshots, insert joke about Gnome's UX.

Not just Asia, Italians and Spaniards are also quite particular about rice.

1kg bags in Germany cost 2.50 Euro for Jasmin, 3 for Basmati. One Euro for cheap parboiled. All discounter store brand. Risotto 2 Euro, that stuff is grown in Italy.

...10kg prices are practically identical, or better put if you shop at a place than sells 10kg bags suddenly the 1kg bags are expensive.

Russia by and large doesn't give a shit about its nature as long as it's huge and can be exploited so it's not like they're producing many documentaries etc. about it.

This is a cool project, though: Re-creating megafauna habitat, turning tundra into steppe. And in true Russian fashion, in lieu of living mammoths running over trees they used a tank.

Drei Jahre alt also nicht unbedingt aktuell die Links zu den Portalen der Länder sollten aber mindestens noch gültig sein.

Z.B. wäre es wohl nicht in Ordnung, mit 'ner Kamera die Straßen abzulaufen und alles zu filmen und hochzuladen, wegen Privatsphäre-Schutz oder so.

Generell gilt in .de Panoramafreiheit: Wo du stehen darfst darfste auch ein Foto machen, musst halt nur ggf. Personen, Autokennzeichen etc. unkenntlich machen.

Warum bezieht OSM nicht die Daten aus öffentlich einsehbaren Katastern/Registern?

Müssten die Länder entsprechend lizensieren. Womit dann Google und Konsorten wahrscheinlich auch kostenlos an die Daten kommen würden.

Mal als Vergleichsgröße: Der Bürgergeld/Sozialhilfe usw Regelsatz beträgt 563€.

Vorschlag an die Linken: Gesetz einbringen dass die Diätenerhöhung auf jährlich den Regelsatz beschränkt. Des Popcorns wegen.

du Landrot.

It's also feminine in Low Saxon.

According to wiktionary Middle Dutch jageschip, Middle Low Saxon jāgeschip (that's just a long a there nothing special), "fast ship", both shortened it and underwent not entirely dissimilar g -> ch sound changes. At least in Low Saxon "jagen" can be used in the sense of "fast movement", like dör­ja­gen.

Imported into High German in the 16th century. I mean you didn't really think that the landlubbers came up with the word did you. Ship is neuter in all three languages.

Speaking of that, though: There's lots of instances where Low Saxon and High German don't agree on noun gender... which doesn't really matter as Low Saxon is in the process of doing an English and losing the last remnants of marking gender, anyway.

Do you believe that every party in every parliament in the world should be able to just stop parliament from working instead of trying to actually vote for laws/bills

Plenty of parliamentarians getting kicked out of western parliaments for wearing t-shirts with slogans, holding up signs, suchlike. Suspensions generally are extraordinarily short and little more than "ok we'll give you some time to change into respectable attire". Also make a scene? Add a day. Make them watch from the visitor's benches. Pay attention they don't miss (relevant) votes.

That would have been the proper reaction: The proper way to handle ritual stunts (and they're a ritual, also the t-shirt thing) is with ritual slaps on the wrist.

The NZ reaction? They're suspending parliamentarians for unprecedented amounts of time, and on top of that while the budget is being passed. That is, they're fucking with the distribution of votes, which is fucking with the foundations of democracy. That is, for a parliament, nothing less than a declaration of bankruptcy.

"Greece", during the Greek financial crisis, would've been a political statement. Today it'd likely be fine.

No political statements with clothing is established precedent and wearing a Palestine shirt today is a political statement. Greece? Currently, not really, no, don't see it. During the Greek debt crisis? Yes it would've been.

She's free to make a pro-Palestine speech, that's how political statements are supposed to be done in parliament. Occasionally there's stunts like these, and they always have the same outcome: A small amount of extra spotlight, then everyone forgets about it.

I agree that immigration is a big part of fixing this.

It isn't. Not for long at least, as the last large countries are currently finishing their own demographic transition and starting to shrink themselves.

Is the world's population still growing? Yes. But the growth rate peaked in the 60s, it's cratering just as fast as it spiked, and by 2100 thereabouts there will be overall shrinkage.

Also before we get at the question whether Japan wants to have lots of immigration, what about the question whether those people wouldn't rather build their own countries.

There's nothing wrong with the world's population shrinking -- and also not with it growing, the earth is far from its carrying capacity. What's frightening is very quick population growth or shrinkage because it's an absolute breeding ground for all kinds of inequalities and societal unrest.

Better many lazy mods with proper vibes than one eager mod with a chip on their shoulder.

I wouldn't mind going through reports etc. either, I can take off some load, but don't make it a responsibility.

Best guess: "out for delivery" means "loaded into the van". Especially if the projected delivery time is rather late, that is, you're at the tail end of their round, it can happen that they won't make it. And because FedEx isn't being smart about things and flips route directions every day it can be that they won't make it the next day, either, because you're still at the end of the route. Only when your location is covered by another driver which doesn't have you towards the very end then is the package delivered.

There's various ways to alleviate that, in particular switching around routes so the tail end problem doesn't hit the same people all the time, but I guess the penny-pincher MBAs that be at FedEx don't see it contributing to the quarterly results. Here in Germany it's usually along the lines of "we're fucking busy, sucks to be you, we brought it to a parcel pick up, go there, next delivery attempt in three days, then it's going to stay at the pickup until you pick it up or we send it back. Did you know that you can register with parcel pickup and have all your packages sent there also it's self-serve. Please, it's right next to the supermarket our backs hurt. Do something for the environment, :)!".

Schizotypal here, please leave us out of both groups. Looking for stuff to call god on the outside is more of an OCD and normie thing, "please, universe, unveil your rules so that I may follow" and "please, skydaddy, hug me", respectively. We're self-directed with our nonsense.

The issue is not lack of logic and consistency, the trouble is a completely different reference frame.

Let me put it, to grossly simplify, in this way: Imagine you'd be dreaming while awake, no way to stop it, and would have to integrate all that craziness in real time. It's not that dreams make no sense -- they all have their rhyme and reason -- it's that they're talking a completely different language.

You might be hearing, out of nowhere, a cello note off to the side, move your gaze there, notice "that's my trashcan that makes no sense", and then be lost, and panic, lose faith in your senses, and that way lies psychosis. More productively, you say "ok mind which thought with as of yet unformed discernible meaning was it that you wanted me to pay attention to", look for the place the thought came from (as schizo, you can tell with your kinaesthetic sense), consider it for a while, still being oblivious of the meaning, and then go on with your life.

We're weird.

Oh, back to randomness: It can get you out of a rut and I do suppose that's how Terry used it, aware of it or not, and framing it however he did. Could also be using it to self-soothe, as in, distracting from a negative spiral. There's worse habits.

God, with almost 100% certainty, means "the genome and how it's speaking to me through my instincts" in his dialect. Because that's what it always means, what it always meant, for everyone, it meant that when it was the ancestors, it meant that when it became more detailed and became gods, it meant that when people realised all the gods are actually one thing, the theologists are just confused AF because politics and physics and cabbage-heads got into the mix. And so much for my schizo rant. Don't discount what I say because I'm crazy, the reason you consider me crazy is because it's true.

If the genocide get completed no amount of oh it was complicated would change anything.

Agreed. But the failure is with the political reaction, not the courts. Courts aren't the police, the police is the police, and the police is asleep.
