My in-laws brought me back a pack of 4 different craft beers from a trip recently. I can’t drink and enjoy them - way too hoppy. Even the Pilsner - and I like a good Pilsner - was not enjoyable at all. The one that’s left is the dark beer - going to be an expensive dirty Diesel one day.

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. If legal and moral standard of society are dominated by the tenets of one religion, that’s not freedom of religion.

You can have your faith, so long as you stop forcing it down other people’s throats.

I pointed out that your JOKE was shit. You’re the one who started calling me names, so don’t lecture me on twisted knickers.

Wow, you have even less of a sense of humour than the average German.

Enjoy your two-ingredient Fleischsalat.

Any company with reasonably involved processes (read: more than three steps) should have clearly documented SOPs, policies and process documentation. This has nothing to do with the level people are at. I’m at senior level and sure as shit don’t remember every detail of something that was verbally communicated to me months ago unless I do it every single day, and even that’s error-prone. I write step by step instructions on processes for myself and everyone else.

Benefits of this approach:

• It’s not stuck in my or anyone else’s head, but clearly spelled out
• people can follow the process again and again, no matter how much time passes between each time - you’d be surprised how much people forget if they don’t do something on a daily basis
• clear documentation removes doubt
• clear documentation is beneficial to newly onboarded staff. Nobody gives them a half-baked version scraped together from memory fragments
• people can point out potential issues with the process, and the documentation can be amended/updated
• I myself can go back to it if I have even the slightest amount of doubt on a detail.

Drawbacks of this approach:

• someone has to write the document
• someone has to maintain it

I’m off by one, you’re off by one - shall we split the difference and I’ll overlook that even being merely technically correct I’m still closer than you, who’s both technically and objectively incorrect?

C’mon, no cop is going to give you that deal.

The recipe you’ve linked has more than two ingredients. To say that it’s ‘mayo on sliced sausage’ is misleading. We Germans are a smidgen more sophisticated than that.

I have one of those, it’s completely useless. It had novelty value but the eggs never came out the way I wanted them. I’ve gone back to a normal timer.

Sometimes good enough is good enough.

Waltari - Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C

One of the first collaborations of a metal band with a classical orchestra. That kind of stuff became more commonplace later, but this mix of death metal, classical music and all kinds of other influences remains unique to this day.

Sorry, I absolutely care about proper Ultrawide support. Currently the game is dogshit on an Ultrawide, with interface and mouse input being all kinds of screwy.

As much as I am loath to say anything about Musk, but he did actually found SpaceX - although that’s probably the only company he founded (that still exists).

Strange how I’ve been using wired headphones with my phones until two years ago, even though I haven’t had a phone with a headphone jack since 2017…

I have one Lightning-to-Jack adapter that was included with my old iPhone 8, and two pairs of EarPods with Lightning plug that were included with subsequent models.

Besides that, the claim was that the headphone jack was removed to force people into buying AirPods. But that claim falls down when there clearly were other, non-Bluetooth options.

They are extremely relevant, culturally and historically. They broke new grounds for music, and a lot of today’s music would simply not exist without the Beatles, or some of their contemporaries. That alone means they’re not overrated.

However that doesn’t mean everyone has to love them. It’s possible to recognise their relevance without worshipping them.

The only reason headphone Jacks got taken away was so you’d be forced to buy Bluetooth solutions. Like AirPods.

Totally. That’s why they never made adapters and never included cabled earphones with lightning plug. It was AirPods or nothing.

How old are you? And doesn’t your second question contradict your first?

If you were being serious: iPhones have had headphone jacks until 2016, the iPhone 7 was the first to come without one.

I believe it was for waterproofing. One less port means less sealing, making it easier to improve the waterproofing of the phone.
