Also, in the greek alphabet Alpha always comes first ;)

But just a tiny Matchbox car that you need to spend a small fortune over almost two decades before it’s ready for use.

Depending on the speed of the hotdog car you should get your exhaust checked. ;)

I work in the SAP industry, so obviously I’m quite biased but looking at the competition, SAP really isn’t that bad. I saw many competitor products in various projects (Workday, Oracle, Microsoft…) and from my personal view, SAP is still the superior, most feature-complete and (in the non-public-cloud version) best enhanceable software.

However, I also learned over time that many SAP customers are not trained properly and/or the software is poorly configured by implementation partners which often leads to a bad user experience.

Definitely not saying SAP is perfect by any means but I still havn’t seen a better solution for big companies with complex requirements.

I agree, so easy to sort stuff like that. :)

In German we also say it in the order as we write it.

12.12.2023 Zwölfter Dezember 2023 Zwölf = twelve ter = th

Unfortunately, I cannot answer that.

Maybe my gut feeling ist wrong and we indeed have a significant number of people living at dangerous temperatures. But from my perspective the entire statistic is useless if we don’t have more information. I just tried to find statistics with groups of the household incomes along with the number of households in that group. If we knew the average household income of someone who is +/- in the 38th percentile of people in Germany, that might be a starting point. However that would still contain many simplifications (How modern is the flat in terms of isolation? What’s the primary energy source etc.? How big is the flat? How many people live in the household?).

It is very difficult to judge on a total number of a statistic unless you know the assumptions and methodologies behind it. In this case they apparantly didn’t even try to work with scientific evidence. They just wanted to create a clickbaity article and thus made the question as broad as possible so as many people as possible will anwer with “yes, I’m affected”.

By the way: wasn’t this thread originally liked to an article from the newspaper “Die Welt” rather than DeStatis? DeStatis from my perspective is much more reliable souce than “Die Welt”. Also the original post reported 38% of people freezing while DeStatis writes about 5.5 million people. 5.5 million would be around 7% which is a HUGE difference and sounds far more realistic.

I don’t want to regulate heating. I just find it unfortunate that the survey doesn’t mention the target temperature that people couldn’t afford. If someone says “it’s too expensive nowadays to heat my flat to 25°C” it’s a completely different story to “I had to live in constant fear of my water pipes bursting from frost”.

We have an ongoing climate crisis and at the same time there’s an energy crisis due to the war in Russia. I think keeping that in mind, it should be obvious that we have to cut back a bit in terms of comfort.

If it’s indeed more than a third of Germany sitting in their flats freezing that’d be dramatic. But my feeling here it’s at least partly people whining around about their horrible fate.

Headlines like this are perfect propaganda for pro Russian politics and in a second step may harm the people in Ukraine - which in many places are REALLY suffering from cold temperatures. Because they are cut off the grid and/or because their flats were damaged in battle.

Unfortunately, the people were neither given nor asked for the “sufficient” temperature. While I don’t appeciate that climate measures are forced on the poor only, there’s many people that waste a lot of energy on heating in the winter. I don’t think 22°C+ should be the norm. If you put on some warm clothes, 18°C are absolutely fine. Personally, I like colder temps indoor and I go for 16°C in the winter as long as there’s no mold issues.

Put a cardboard box on top of it, pronlem solved.

Well technically it’s 11:59 hours after eight, so you’re disqualified.

For government documents you need nothing but a plain old certificate to create a digital signature. If there is a single instance of trust (such as a government) there absolutely no point in using a blockchain.

Decentral NFTs for concert tickets would only make sense if you were looking for a solution to liberate the second market, i.e. people selling tickets to other people without involvement of the host of the concert. Such a model is neither beneficial for the hosts (as they wouldn’t benefit from the second market sales) nor the visitors (as the second market typically leads to even higher prices). If you meant a way to return/trade tickets on a platform controlled by the host / the original issuer of the tickets, then there’s again no need at all for crypto aside plain old, stupid certificates.

I think that’s an amazing self-ironic design! 100% sends a smile to first time visitors while also delivering a nice little message to underline the importance of the topic.

The fish sturgeon is called “Stör” in German. The verb “to annoy” means “stören”.

Most of these memes that were posted recently are puns where random German words that contain “stör” or a simmilar sounding syllable is replaced by the fish.

<º))))><

That’s nothing some glue and screws couldn’t fix! :D

You could also argue that cardboard isn’t the right material to build shelves and tables from. Yet Ikea makes them and - at least in my experience - they’re pretty stable and good-looking. So why not make a cabin from firewood? :-P
