And the comment replied to specifically claimed air to be liquid, which it is not at typical temperatures and pressures.

I assume it is by ignorance of the history, but you should be very careful not to make apologies for Nazi collaborators unless you know for sure that they were coerced. BMW and the Quandts went way beyond what would be explicable by coercion. The reason why you didnt hear more of it is because the UK and US protected Quandt like they protected many other Nazis in order to quickly build up a right wing bulwark against the “communist threat” in Europe. Claiming to have been coerced is the typical excuse and repeating this narrative is helping fascists and their allies to revision history.

deepl:

After the National Socialist takeover and initial difficulties in his relationship with the new rulers (parts of the AFA Board of Directors close to the NSDAP tried unsuccessfully to overthrow Günther Quandt in 1933), Quandt was able to consolidate his position within the German industrial landscape. In 1937, he was appointed military economic leader. AFA’s accumulators were used in submarines and rockets, among other things, and the textile companies supplied uniforms and blankets for the Wehrmacht, as they had done during the German Empire and the Weimar Republic. Other Quandt companies manufactured weapons and ammunition.

Competing companies of Jewish owners expropriated by the Nazi state were taken over by Quandt at favorable terms.

The case of the Société Anonyme des Accumulateurs Tudor battery factory owned by the Luxembourg entrepreneur Léon Laval in Florival near Wavre is well known in this context. Quandt endeavored to incorporate this factory into the AFA. After the conquest of Luxembourg and Belgium by the German occupying forces, Quandt, with the support of the Gestapo, tried to force Laval to sell his shares to Quandt through interrogation. After his steadfast refusal, Laval was first imprisoned in Luxembourg, then in Germany until the end of the war.[3]

Just a few weeks after the capitulation in May 1945, AFA was one of the first companies to receive an operating license from the British occupying power. In 1946, Günther Quandt was arrested by order of the US military government and interned for two years. However, the British withheld incriminating documents about Günther Quandt’s activities in the Third Reich and did not pass them on to the American prosecution authorities. As a result, no charges were brought against him at the Nuremberg war crimes trials, despite initial investigations. As part of the denazification process, Quandt had to stand trial before a Starnberg tribunal for his role in the expropriation of Léon Laval, among other things. Laval had survived imprisonment in the camp and appeared as a joint plaintiff in the proceedings. Despite his involvement in the crimes of the Third Reich, the trial ended in 1948 with Quandt being classified as a “fellow traveler”. The role of Quandt’s armaments company during the war and the use of forced laborers never became part of the proceedings against him. Quandt himself declared that he had been “persecuted by the National Socialist government for years in the most severe manner”, which, according to Quandt biographer Rüdiger Jungbluth, must be regarded as absurd; the Spruchkammer proceedings themselves were a “farce”[1].

The family that still owns large parts of BMW had multiple members in the NSDAP and other Nazi organisations. They made a fortune with selling military equipment to fuel world war 2 and they kept most of that fortune after the war.

They were absolutely deliberate in what they did and the only thing that coerced them was their greed.

You know, most countries have both time off for expecting women and paid time off for mothers of newborns and increasingly for the fathers too.

Let me explain you how the Red-Workers-Movement of 1922 in the Oblast-Utbackya had this structural issue in their organization by the theory of famous late 19th century analyst.

Underground mining and strip mining are very different in the possibilities to recover.

Both underground mining and strip mining will devastate natural and urban areas in Germany for centuries. For the former black coal and iron mining areas they basically have no solution except to keep the pumps running indefinitely as the flooded underground mines would collapse, causing sinkholes and eating the houses on top. For the strip mining, these will be scars on the earth until geology has taken care of it in a few million years.

And not nearly enough because no human activity can realistically cover some 100-200 million years of geological processes.

In most places they just want to flood the hole. These artificial lakes then become a toxic hole because the Iron-Sulfide exposed during mining oxidizes into Iron-Sulfate, leading to these lakes being diluted Sulphuric Acid for decades if not centuries.

Also the groundwater cannot recover a century of pumping it out in less than multiple centuries. Then the water used for flooding is diverted from rivers, which already are running low in these region and the artificial lakes are evaporating a lot of water, further drying things out.

Oh and of course the holes tend to be sold to some smaller private investors by the end of their lifetime who do not have nearly enough funds to be held liable for renaturization. So the tax payers will be looking at dozens if not hundreds of billions of damages to front over the next centuries while the profiteers moved their money elsewhere.

The fediverse is much more than just lemmy. That being said i also disagree for lemmy. Drama between mods and communities was a regular thing on reddit. Still reddit managed to grow quite big before the bots took over. And companies are in no way more accountable to the users. Look at what happened with twitter under Musk. The only realistic choice you have as a normal user is to leave. And in the fediverse leaving a shitty instance still allows you to connect with all the other content from a different instance.

That still has a wide range. If you are camping on a camping ground you will have sanitary rooms, dish washing places, likely a hot shower, maybe a kitchen and official fire place.

You wrote “camping in the mountains”. That could include official resting spaces where you just have some benches and maybe an outdoor toilet, or well just pitching your tents somewhere and figuring out the rest yourself.

Perhaps put the prompt in a different language instead of English so the human operator wouldn’t understand it if they happened to see a word of it

That is ten times more suspicious.

Its 16 years ago and the series continued. Last year my wife got all games and played them because she remembered playing the first one back then.

I don’t think it is “culturally forgotten”. Also as the amount of media increases it becomes more difficult to define a “mainstream” that everyone remembers as defining. This has happened to literary eras like a hundred years ago already. Now with music you dont have just MTV, the local radio station and maybe the one internet forum where all the fans of one genre gravitated to. So it is more difficult to be exposed to other people who didn’t forget

Is it appropriation if you treat people and their culture with respect? Because i dont think the issue here is how the KKK dresses. It is what they stand for ideologically and what they do. That is what makes it appropriation imo.

Pretty sure geologists are also needed in many types of construction projects. Of course it is not that interesting to tell the 1224th project team that they need to dig their foundations at least 80cm deep and guard against rising humidity.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When Allah drowned Fir’awn [Pharaoh of Egypt as he was pursuing Moses and the people of Benny Israel] he said: ‘I believe that there is no god except the One that the children of Isra’il believe in.’ So Jibrail [The Angel Gabriel] said: ‘O Muhammad! If you could only have seen me, while I was taking (the mud) from the sea, and filling his mouth out of fear that the mercy would reach him.’

According to Islam no-one is beyond achieving forgiveness if they sincerely repent as the mercy and forgiveness of God is limitless. However except for explicitly mentioned people such as the Prophets, we do not know who achieves Paradise and who is punished in Hell until the day of judgement. Not even the Angels closest to God know.

I broke xorg.conf when i installed Linux Mint about a year ago, but i forgot what for. Ironically i never had issues with an Arch based distro.

Assuming the green-text is true, or even if it is just as a story to bring across the point, the notion is that “do what you want with me” is implied to be some of the “hardcore” things rather than the possibility of anon just wanting sensual intimacy.

The critique is that the assumption of everyone wanting “hardcore” things is just false. And frankly a lot of people do make themselves suffer by trying to adhere to this porn idea of sex, instead of allowing themselves to be sensual.

HIV is not giving you painful urination a few days later.

There is also people who just hang on their phone all day or gossip in the kitchen. I have seen that in the best and in the worst working conditions.

There is good reason, why the principle “same pay for same work” usually does not include surveillance of productivity. But it does feel infuriating to not make 3x as much despite having 3x the productivity of some people that have a similar or even higher salary thanks to seniority, when i am basically financing their lack of productivity.

I agree that the term “laziness” is often used by management to shift blame onto the workers and i don’t know how a solution could look like that would address real laziness without infringing on workers rights.

Most of the links in that list fail or lead to http rather than https. The point about Radware links to an archived webpage that states that proton no longer works with them. Storing Emails as .eml seems to be a rather arbitrary critique. Criticizing Proton for operating in Switzerland because of Swiss laws also seems odd, when the very article you are positing it under is criticizing Swiss laws changing further to make them consider relocation.
