Yeah. The thing is: For a moment you forget that. I saw one for real. Planned big ass explosion. I knew beforehand and was specifically there for it and invited by the goverment agency doing it.
But for a very short moment you forget that and your brain goes full on monkey mode.
I drive: KIA EV6.
What I wish for? A better KIA EV6. I love my EV6, it’s a marvellous car,much more fun than the Audis, BMWs, etc. I drove before. But yet there is room for improvents.
Very happy with a KIA EV6.
No longer valid. A shitton of companies are UG by now - I operate one myself. It is very rarely an issue,even back when it’s been just an UG we used.
They don’t need a GmbH, a UG would do it for less starting capital, BUT a joint stock company does not protect you from Scheinselbstständigkeit per se.
It’s a proper clusterfuck.
Read up on Scheinselbstständigkeit. Then talk to a tax advisor that is knowledgeable in that topic.
Only once you fully understood the implications you can proceed - and by understanding I mean realizing how utterly hard the law makes it for regular freelancers. And don’t get me wrong, but if you are unable to understand that topic due to language skills don’t do it. Not because it’s not possible to understand the legal situation through translating apps - but more because you will get a LOT of paperwork you must understand precisly because one wrong word will ruin you and cost your customers thousands. And which is often required to be send back within days. (Looking at you, DRV)
That being said classical admin work freelancing unlike actual consulting is almost impossible to do under the current laws.
Welcome to Germany/Austria,etc.
Personal recommendation: Start with a selfhosting support software like Casa, Yuno or (my recommendation) Cloudron. Start hosting the app there with frequent backups and occasionally export into regular Bitwarden as a failsafe.
And when you are comfortable switch over to properly self hosted Vaultwarden.
Just adding: Passkeys do migitate a lot of these issues as well.
At the point someone pulls off a valid MIM attack - which is basically a requirement here unless the whole BW/Vaultwarden server gets compromised- that is the least of someones problems. MIMs are incredibily hard these days.
Datacenter heat is actually a very good source for local heating networks and a lot of European countries either already mandate to consider it when feasible, have introduced legislation that will make it mandatory over the next years or are at least supporting it financially.
It’s actually fairly common to do so for a long time here - from waste incineration, steel mils, nuclear plants, etc.
Personally I heat my office from my server rack and my old job did heat one of their office buildings from the heat generated by the data center in the basement. (And funny enough also did partially cool it from that source)
Just saying: There is a HomeConnect Local Integration for HomeAssistant.
Other than that: Bosch/Siemens (same brand) is solid. My washing machine moved over 22.000km with me by now…over 15 years…and works like a charm.
So, prove me wrong.
… And yet almost all developed nations do it without any issues. … And funny enough technologies like micro trenching work for most use cades.
Oh boy…
The difference between the US the rest of the world is 4 years and due to the Edison-Westinghouse struggle the US were overtaken by the end of the century. (Same goes for Telephones btw. NY had less then half the phone lines Berlin had by 1900)
The argument with the time difference is often cited but not based on fact - it’s more about the fact that electricity networks in the US were a commercial/capitalist enterprise from the start which was not the case for European cities for a long time.
And even today power grids in the US are,well, seen as something to be run with the maximum amount of profits with the minimum amount of goverment regulation. If you consider the difference to Europe or parts of Asis it’s insane.
Yet almost all of the developed world does it…
He clearly did not say he was not at risk but less so - which totally falls within Niemöller and os absolutely correct.
That only works if the army stays united as a single power block and does not split.
Nope. Just an idiot. Shouldn’t have done the double shift. Overtime happens in this job.
And while I did not kill/hurt someone back then (as far as I know) I massively increased my patients risk of suffering from one - and I surely would have treated them at least faster.
Today I would never take this risk again voluntarily again - there are situations that might warrant it (I have responded to a few major disasters, mainly floods, over the years), but these are rare. That back then? That was stupid. In so many ways.
“I am very sure my husband has no heart attack. I am a homeopathic and this is clearly not a heart attack. You don’t know what you are doing.”
I am a paramedic for 24 years, a critical care paramedic for 16. The husband had such a “myocardial infarction out of the book”-ECG it almost looked twice. He literally almost coded on us twice. And this lady walzes in (funny enough: They were in the process of separating) and after 60 sec. decides she knows what’s up.
Homeopathy therapists here have no formal training. Just a state exam that makes sure they don’t kill someone too often.
The husband barely made it,personally I think mostly out of spite for her. Had a cardiac arrest twice while in the cathlab,but survived without neurological issues.
It’s really really rare that I am out of words and don’t have a comeback. But that woman in that moment?
(For the medical folks: Massive STEMI accross 3 leads, massive contractility issue visible on POCUS, later on become pressure dependended, had VF arrest during PCI, needed an impella for two weeks)
