  • No.

    Merz and von der Leyen are extremely competent, they just don’t pursue the goals they say they do. They may even belief that they are pursuing other goals than they really do.

    They believe in trickle down economics despite all evidence pointing to it making everything worse. In their pursuit of economic growth, they do the exact thing that in their model should boost, but in reality stifles growth. They increase the wealth redistribution from the poor and middle class to the rich.

    And they are so damn good at it. That’s the reason money has put them in their current positions.

    They are extremely competent in doing the wrong thing.

    Kestrels and falcons are each others closest relatives.

    Both are more closely related to parrots than to kites hawks and eagles. In fact falcons are more closely related to tits than to hawks. But tits are more closely related to parrots than to falcons. Fuck, eagles and hawks are more closely related to woodpeckers than to falcons.

    Bird cladistics is wild!




  • The level of pH difference we’re talking about here is negligible. You’re constantly bathing your teeth in your (slightly acidic) spit and swallowing your spit all the time, the very few moments your teeth come into contact with slightly more alkaline water have no lasting influence. Plain tap-water (also slightly alkaline with a pH of ~7.5 in most of the US) would have the very same effect.

    Brushing your teeth after a meal and abstaining from sugary drinks is where the difference is at, Everything else is talking about if Mount Everest is higher when you place a grain of sand on top… technically yes, but no.


  • My street is finally getting fiberoptic internet! That means I’m going from around 4MiB/s to at least 400 more likely 600 MiB/s… with around 3/4 of that in upload speed. I have already canceled all my streaming services and external servers, the parts for my homeserver are on their way.

    No more Google Drive, hello Nextcloud, no more Spotify, hello Finamp, no more Netflix and Crunchyroll, hello Jellyfin, no more Bitwarden, hello Vaultwarden.

    I’ll finally be able to self-host all my Docker containers fir my website-, email- and game-server, I can have a homeserver for my media-streaming even when I’m not at home. I might even create my own Immich and Lemmy Instances. Just need to read up on NixOS and get a good, reliable system running.

    Fuck big Tech, I’ll host my own shit and offer it to all my friends.
