Come on, don’t be disingenuous, you need more than a bus ticket if you don’t live close to the border of a state that allows abortions.

Your whole trip will most likely take three days or more (getting there, getting the procedure, coming back), so you need at least two days in a hotel/Airbnb. You will have to get off work for those days as well, that is cost as well.

That could be around 300$ together if you don’t have any vacation/sick days, on top of the cost of the procedure itself. And it’s not like you can save up that money over several weeks/months either, when you need an abortion every day counts. Contrary to some media, those affected don’t want to wait until the last possible day.

Some people really only have money for the bare necessities. And they are the ones who really should have access to an abortion because a baby wouldn’t improve their situation in the slightest.

Being poor isn’t a choice in most cases. Learned helplessness might play a role, but telling them “just get a bus ticket, lul” won’t change that.

Don’t put yourself into an even more miserable situation when it doesn’t even benefit you in a measurable way.
E.g. Lights/dark rooms: Let’s say you use a 5W LED light bulb (which should be bright enough to decently light most rooms). If you leave that running 24/7 for a whole year, that is going to cost you ~13€/$ (0,3€/$/kWh). You are not going to keep it running 24/7, you are not even going to run it half the day. It is not worth 5 bucks to spend the whole year in darkness, no matter how little money you have.

Obviously turn off the light when you’re not in the room or it’s the middle of the day in summer, but be reasonable with yourself.

The same goes for food: Sure, buying cheap staples (in bulk if possible) is a great idea, but don’t try to save 5 cents if that means skipping on the salt, herbs and tomato paste which would take your 2/10 bland bowl of carbs to at least a 7/10 and give you something to look forward to.

Of course that’s a thing, because it’s an AI image (with quite a few obvious flaws at that). You can just put your sentence into a generator and get something at least resembling what you thought about.

I’ve used one for the past 15 years and I can wholeheartedly agree. This thing will most likely outlive me (I don’t think any future children would want it as part of an inheritance though). Your sense of taste will also improve because your tongue isn’t covered in gunk.

Somewhat of a fair point. I was more so referring to back in the day where it was not a given that a game would release on steam. I clearly remember the old videos from Totalbiscuit where that was a point worth mentioning. Asset flips and the like just couldn’t be released on steam, as everything had to go through at least mid sized publishers (not an ideal solution by any means). This meant that you couldn’t get many indie titles and some bigger publishers didn’t want to use steam either, but those games that were available on the platform, while not guaranteed to be good, were at least not broken or complete trash. This changed with the introduction of steam greenlight and the later removal of almost any barrier to entry to release something on steam and that bothers me a bit.

You do know that you can disable that popup in the settings, right? You can also decide on which page the client opens. So if you set it up right you won’t see an ad inside the client unless you consciously open the store page. And I would think that ads on a storefront are somewhat the point of the storefront.

Yes, you can be bothered by how much of a cut steam takes, or how they no longer curate what gets on their store, but compared to what’s happening on consoles it’s in another league. If you don’t want to use steam, go ahead and try GOG Galaxy, it’s a bit rough around the edges and doesn’t have every game, but those it has don’t have DRM.

Nah, they would be out for blood in this scenario, otherwise the premise of fighting them wouldn’t make any sense. The bigger problem for the tiny horses is their inability to reach the upper parts of your body. Sure, they probably have a mean bite, but because of their size and the shape of their teeth they most likely won’t be able to enclose your leg. A horse bite crushes, so keep your fingers away and you are most likely fine.

They also have hooves, so no scratching and climbing. Horses hooves are dangerous because they have a massive horse behind it when it comes flying towards you. Take that away and they could be baby fist for all you should care.

If you look at their jumping capabilities, yea they ar impressive for an animal of their size, but once you are 30cm tall it’s much less impressive to jump as high as you are tall (and horses really don’t jump all that high, most of it comes from tucking their legs).

If you compare the tiny horse to a cat, the cat would be much more dangerous, because it has claws, sharp teeth and can reach your face. As long as you wear heavy boots and have a good stomping/kicking technique you should be fine versus duck sized horses.

It’s not about a single person molesting 200.000 children, that is pretty much impossible. The article talks about the church as a whole - clergy and lay people.

I don’t think there is, but it’s a picture/panorama of Frankfurt from the top of one of the skyscrapers.

Do you also get redirected to some random post with 2 up votes when you click on any i.reddit url/picture. I use the same setup and was wondering if I messed up some settings or if it reddit messing up the old interface.

It depends on the type of supporting structure for the panels. In Germany a company built it tall enough to use their normal farm equipment: Image

I’ve seen pictures of massive tractors pulling several ploughs side by side in the US, that would most likely not work with this, but there are plenty of solutions for anything on a slightly smaller scale.

But continues after that. Apart from 11 and 12 the german system is consistent within itself, even if the system itself is kinda weird, English less so.

Edit: What i meant is the difference between ten/teen, whereas German uses zehn (“ten”) to build the “compount numbers”. There is also thir-teen as opposed to three-ten, which isn’t quite what eleven and twelve are, but it’s also not the same as the numbers following it. But others have pointed out that these are pretty marginal differences and i would agree.

Mittweida ist auch die Stadt mit dem höchsten Studentenanteil in Deutschland (um die 50%), da ist das nur konsequent.

Wie würde man dann mit unterschiedlichen “Wissensständen” umgehen? Nicht, dass ich die Idee nicht gut fände, aber man müsste dann ja für jeden Punkt, wo es neue Informationen zu dem Charakter oder seiner Familie etc. gibt, einen neuen Wikieintrag generieren, der dann zu dem Stand verlinkt wird, sonst spoilert man sich direkt oder man hat wirklich nur rudimentäre Informationen, die man eh hat.

Wir machen einfach Mikrotransaktionen für den Führerschein. Mit der Basisversion darfst du nur von 8-20 Uhr fahren, nicht am Wochenende und nur Autos mit weniger als 1800kg. Du kannst dann mit extra Fahrstunden und einer “kleinen Servicegebühr” mehr Features freischalten. Dann braucht man sich nur das kaufen, was man auch wirklich braucht. /s

Just FYI: The chewing itself isn’t what makes the aspirin work faster. By breaking up the tablet you give it more surface area which allows it be dissolved faster in your stomach. You could create the same effect by crushing it in a glass and giving it to the person in need to drink if they can’t chew.

The inside of a toilet stall. As you can see it has a massive design flaw from top to bottom. That seems to be the norm in the grand ol’ US of A.

Yes, as others have said, this is the standard outside of the US. The neat thing about metric units is the ability to convert stuff more easily.

If we take our rainfall example here: 1 sqm is a square with 1000 millimeters (mm) on each side. To go one order of magnitude up you just divide by 10, so you get 100 centimeters (cm). This is not necessary, but it is more common to calculate small liter amounts in cubiccentimeters (cm3), that’s what the cc/ccm on measuring jugs or the volume measurement of engines stands for. This is usually referred to as milliliters (ml). 1000 of these make up 1 liter (l) (that’s where the biggest irregularities of the metric system lie

So image that 1 sqm square in front of you (the scale compared to feet/inches isn’t that important). To fill that square up we would need 10.000 of our little cubiccentimeter-cubes, 100 on each side, 100*100=10.000. If we now fill up our little cubes with water we raise the water level in our square by 1 cm/10 mm. 10.000 ccm/ml are equal to 10. So 10 mm of rainfall would result in 10 l of water, 25,4 mm (1 inch) would be 25,4 l and so on. As I’m not familiar with American weather reports I don’t know how granular the reporting is if you have to work with fractions of an inch, but I guess down to 1/10 would still work for me, but don’t tell me to imagine something like 11/17" or somesuch.

That’s what makes the metric system so great. If you understand the underlying mechanic you can easily convert everything.

This would still work in imperial units in principle, but because length and volumetric measurements don’t align properly you would have trouble converting them in your head. 1 gallon would be 231 sqin, 1 cubic foot would be 7,481 gallons. There is no way to fit these into a system where you could easily convert the height of your water level into a volumetric measurement and that’s why the US sticks to just using inches for rainfall.

Natürlich sind das Käffer, aber ich komm ursprünglich aus so nem Kaff (sogar noch außerhalb davon), Familie mit 3 Autos inklusive. Auch solche Käffer kann man mit der Bahn oder vernünftigen Bussen zum nächsten Ballungsraum erschließen, die Leute pendeln ja offensichtlich jetzt schon mit dem Auto dorthin.

Meine Familie hätte zwei dieser Autos definitiv nicht gebraucht, wir waren halt zu bequem.

Die überwiegende Mehrheit der Leute könnte ohne nennenswerte Aufwände eine Menge Auto einsparen und dabei einiges an Geld sparen - auch/gerade auf dem Land.

Viele Einkaufsmöglichkeiten auf dem Land sind leider auch genau wegen dem Auto gestorben. Wenn jeder ein Auto hat, kann man ja auch in den nächsten Ort zum Einkaufen.

Die Leute die wirklich 20km außerhalb der “Stadt” wohnen kann man in Deutschland aber auch fast an einer Hand abzählen - und bei denen ist das auch OK, dass sie auf ein Auto angewiesen sind. Man kann/muss Öpnv nicht für 100% erreichbar machen. Aber selbst auf dem Land leben die Leute in der Regel innerhalb von Siedlungen und wenn man sich da mal umschaut stehen da die meisten Autos den Tag über auch nur in der Einfahrt.
Ich sprech da auch aus Erfahrungen aus meinem Umfeld und würde mal behaupten die Hälfte der Autos aus der Nachbarschaft sind überflüssig und könnten komplett ohne Carsharing und Co ersetzt werden. In den Nachbarschafts-Whatsappgruppen wird immer fleißig gelästert, aber mal ne Mitfahrgelegenheit wird nie angefragt/angeboten - warum auch, man hat ja das Auto schon.
