And still Trump has a 33% approval rate. I mean who tf are those people? Are they all so fckn rich that they don't care about increased medical costs? Or gas prices? Or inflation? Or stagnating economy? Those aren't some abstract politics, those are things u feel in ur everyday live...

Lol that's still insanely cheap compared to gas prices in germany lol. If I convert Euro to Dollar and Liter to Gallons, we have prices of over $9 per gallon lol

I think it's both. Otherwise trash shipping companies like TEMU wouldn't have become so incredibly popular. A lot of people are basically NPCs which like to mindlessly consume stuff. The cheaper the better.

It probably makes for a good look in your CV. You work there for a few years, and then you can apply anywhere else with better chances, I guess.

Well, you could see the distance between the bed and the desk as a commute

"Are you harboring any Jews" vibes

I thought fat does swim?

Well, the IT job market can change very quickly, so it is very difficult to predict what the job market will look like when you enter it in around 6 years (I assume that's how long it will also take in the US to get a Bachelor + Master?). It could be that in 6 years the AI bubble has popped and dumb managers will realize that AI can't replace every Software Developer.

I'd say go ahead and study CS, and if you can't find a job as a Software Developer, you can then look in neighboring IT fields, such as System Administrator, where you (for example) have to administrate Linux servers, and since you say you already have experience with this, it should give you an advantage in applications.

And MAGAts will somehow turn this into something good. But whereas they would have completely flipped out when gas prices would have risen just one cent under Biden lol.

In the context of prices of cars it is indeed a rather small amount.

Because everything the EU and the rest of the world does is stupid. By adapting things from other countries would be akin to acknowledging that other countries can do some things better than the US. But this can't be, since the US is Numbaaa 1! /s

I thought we are all communists here on Lemmy? So the concept of ownership doesn't exist and everything belongs to everyone?

Ask the French and Romanians how well Nuclear Fission Power Plants are going for them rn lol

k is just a prefix, it is unit-independent

So glad I live in germany where the law mandates that every permanent office workplace needs to have access to sunlight

That jacket button looks like a nipple in this photograph lol

Cos its a prefix regarding the unit

How tf are those places still in business, are the majority of people in this area making six figures a year, or what

Because humans are creatures of habit, and as long as stuff works for them, even suboptimally, a lot of people aren't inclined to change their habits, even if it might mean a change would improve their lives. As long as sth is "good enough", there simply isn't an incentive for change.

Also, since there isn't a huge corporation behind Linux, there is literally no direct advertisement for it, so people who aren't into tech simply never will get in touch with it.

A lot of food is still safe to consume after it's expiration date, tho. I think in the US it's called 'best by' or sth like that, underlining that it isn't necessarily a hard expiration date, just that it tastes the best before this date.
