Because hiding prices in obscure surcharges is deliberately misleading customers. Given that they are surely having a special menu for the occasion they can easily print the true prices instead of fake prices. I would avoid shady places doing that. If they fool customers when it comes to paying who knows how the fool them in the kitchen.

I’d hope flat x % surcharges are a violation of price transperancy rules in the EU but it could be that it is possible like in the UK. But it shouldn’t.

Salzburg is probably the worst city in terms of transit and is still perfectly serciceable. It’s keadership is still pretty car focused though - and it shows. There is talk about some rail option rosskng the centre bit nothing is ever really getting built because … think about car traffic which must not loose any capacity …

Lower Austria outside of the main corridors and the Vienna metropolitan area has a rsther poor track record as well. They closed down a lot of the smaller branch lines. To be fair however at the same time bus/rail integration has improved considerably. Most villages have somewhat usable rush hour service and a lot of places have at least one bus per hour with synched train connection.

I can’t speak for other EU member states but Austria has been investing a lot in public transport, for a while already.

It is not just prioritising car commuters from outside vs locals, it is simply an extremely wasteful use of limited traffic capacity. The bus, not clogged down in traffic, has a way higher capacity than probably even two full car lanes at the highest performance. A bus lane is the only rational thing there. If that makes the highway off ramp redundant because there is no capacity for cars left to justify it, simply tear it down. It is fake capacity anyway if the traffic cannot be supported further down the road and it would even benefit car drivers, as it would remove a clogging point and free up capacity on the highway.

They have taken over technological lead with EVs a good while ago. Regarding batteries themselves they always have been in the lead anyway.

But how would Sam Altman and the other tech fascists benefit from that?

Of course it is an argument. If intentionally or not, “other do it too” is relativising" rule breaking.

I have the impression you don’t know how rounding works. The two temperatures you quote would be different even with only full numbers.

In any case, for the case of body temperature, you do exactly that, use as many positions after the comma as you want. (Usually more the one is pointless though as you can reliably measure that anyway)

l am not taking the high road. Just stating facts. If both parties are acting in an undemocratic fashion, that might prevent the taking over of all power by one party, but it still kills democracy anyway. Are you denying that?

I have not even commented on the question of the Democratic Party should be doing that or not.

The first video, which, may or may not be from Ukraine today or any time doesn’t show any torture of foreign voluntaries. It looks like conscription. The 2nd link I cannot access, because I will definitely not reopen my reddit account. I am happy visiting it exclusively as a guest, if at all. In either case. I was thinking of a bit more than just some random video on reddit or even worse, Telegram.

Being undersupplied, thanks to Russian supply line attacks, is not the same as torturing people with the sole purpose of making them do something by the superiors.

In physics maybe but plenty of scientific fields where your temperatures are commonly not superfreezing. Using K just bloats up your numbers then, without any benefit. In case you ever need K, just add 273.15 to the temperature in °C. The only difference is the base, the increments are the same. Fahrenheit is much less compatible with Kelvin.

Why would anyone care about -17°C? It is an arbitrary number without any relevance. The only relevance it has to you is if you think in Fahrenheit where it is an arbitrary zero point. Not even 38°C is a number you frequently hear used, unless its seriously hot and it happens to be the ambient temperature. Human body temperature is more relevant, but it isn’t a round number in either of the measurement systems, nor is it identical between individuals either.

That “higher fidelity” argument just makes me wonder if some people don’t know the decimal system. 22.7°C, there you go. Most people don’t need that level of precision but it if they do, they simply add a position after the comma and are done with it.

The above report is obviously not to be taken without a dose of scepticism, as it comes from the military opponent. However your response makes me wonder if you have any source to back up your claim that Ukraine is torturing its foreign volunteers into some meat grinder operations like you imply here. Or did you merely need a line to put the victim of an aggression at the same level as the aggressor without any such thing?

Have you thought of the Roman Empire already today?

Yet many people do pay the 145 EUR for Win 11 home in other PC products, not reading the fine print in the few alternative cases where one actually get the option to not get Windows pre-installed. Yes, I know that large producers can get much cheaper licenses, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t charge you big for it anyway, either openly or just hidden in the final price.

Who knows. Their target group is usually perfectly capable of installing an OS themselves. But Framework is also a popular hardware brand among Linux users, because their hardware is already built with Linux in mind. If you look at their forum, it does not feel like everyone is just installing Windows on their hardware.

Sure. The Electoral College is certainly a weak point as well, but giving all those other gaping weak points, reaching all the way up to the top of the judiciary, I’d be surprised if they’d even need to exploit the Electoral College. But never say never.
