Are you two telling me getting into political arguments on internet forums is not gonna make me the ruler of the world??? I thought I was really getting somewhere here.

I'm not sure the Catholic Church would agree that Martin Luther changed everyone's opinion.

Spatzen sind sowieso die Aggros unter den Singvögeln. Hab vor ein paar Wochen wieder mit Füttern angefangen. Die Meisen und Finken nehmen sich immer höflich ein Korn und fliegen dann auf einen Ast, um es zu snacken. Die Spatzen bleiben an der Futterstelle, bis sie von einem anderen Spatzen weggeschubst werden. Manchmal fliegen auch zwei scheinbar grundlos aufeinander zu und hauen sich mit ihren Krallen. Bisschen wie unsere letzte Firmen-Weihnachtsfeier mit Buffet.

Yeah, I do. I'm really lazy and need some pressure to get going. It also gives me this nice kind of thrill and clarity. I also really enjoyed doing exams and tests in school and at uni.

That being said, I don't think I could deal with a constant pressure. Every now and then is nice to get this thrill and to get validation when doing well. But under constant pressure I would burn out quicker than a barn doused in gasoline.

Wenn man mal eine Weile in Tübingen oder der Region gewohnt hat, ist "Hat Boris Palmer wirklich xy gesagt?" keine Frage mehr, die man sich jemals stellt.

From the line "Never gonna run around and desert you" we can gather that when a relationship came to an end, the person ending the relationship would run around frantically and burn all possessions of their former partner, thus turning their property into a desert, or "deserting" them.

In a few thousand years...

"We finally deciphered the text on it. It's a monument to love, to undying loyalty and affection! How amazing! Here, it reads: 'Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down'"

It should be a very short glance though...

Die haben da Klopapier? Bei mir an der Schule war das so ab 9:15 Uhr immer leer. Und diese schrecklichen Stoffrollen-Handtücher einmal durchgelaufen.

Well that sure is a bit larger than a church.

Interesting question. Are we talking about the volume or the floor area? For volume maybe a church? Then St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City would be the largest. I don't know the layout though, but I assume a large portion of it is the main "room".

Or do stadium with a roof count? Then maybe one of these?

Edit: I don't think I really thought this through. I was thinking too much of more roomy rooms. Most convention centers probably have larger exhibition halls.

If you're anywhere in North America

I am not and every argument in this thread seems to assume I am and argues with some rules in the US or Canada. This was exactly my point. The situation seems to be wildly different than my experience.

1. I realised afterwards that I said nothing about executing landlords. I'm also not in favour, in case anyone was wondering.
2. Hm, I guess it comes down to what is meant by "make it easier".
   The only way to reduce the proportion of single-family houses around here seems to be by adding rules and restrictions. Adding more rules is usually not what people mean when they say "make it easier". But I get your point.

I don't think you live where I live. Because where I live there is just no room to build many more houses without demolishing other houses first. There is a lot of discussion about moving away from single-family houses and increasing the density of living space. I don't see how this would be solved by making it easier to build.

ETA: Just to be clear, I absolutely am not advocating for deporting immigrants.

In my experience mathematicians don't really concern themselves with numbers between 2 and infinity.

I love that this guy decided that GitHub is the place to share his socio-economic essay. Next to a guy who used it for his sourdough guides my favourite use of GitHub yet.

So what do you think, when will you reach one billion with this great investment scheme?

ETA: Snark aside. That's kinda the point, isn't it? Nobody can work so much that this kind of money is deserved by their work. You need to have money to get more money. And if you have enough, it just keeps getting more.

This is a few years old but still a good visualisation:

Coffee can reduce how much iron get's absorbed. This doesn't have anything to do with the caffeine and the resulting stimulation though, but with something in the coffee binding the receptors or something like that. Don't know if this happens with other nutrients as well.
