Depends very much on the company and the field. There are whole companies who’s business model is to do research and sell it to the highest bidder. And in med tech a fuckton of research is conducted,even more since the MDR in the EU.

Additionally: Another reason he wants mail in ballots gone - to easy to trace back what people actually voted for, besides the gerrymandering aspect.

With the machine it’s far harder to proof fraud.

Totally non scheduled, sadly.

In theory I work a flexible time schedule,realistically it’s more or less 0900 to 1800, but it’s very much depending on my clients. These are based worldwide, so if I am unlucky it can happen that (remote) meetings are at 2300 or later. I am on call half of the month, if major incidents happen I got to get up, but luckily these happen infrequently.

My staff works on a fully flexible schedule unless they are on call. The only fixed dates in their workweek is a jour-fixe on Wednesday and of course client meetings. Other than that I don’t care when they work as long as stuff gets done. (My staff is fully remote anyways) People have lives and qualified staff is hard to get - and why should I make people unhappy by insiting on some fixed times that have no operational benefit to me?

Occasionally I add in a ambulance shift, these are 12h+overtime and usally 7-19 or 19-7.

Winnie doesn’t need force. He simply can use his economic power.

If he simply puts a full embargo on Russia Putler would be done within a year.

Dude. The bank accounts were closed due to US pressure on the swift system and had nothing to do with the German goverment. Same as the directors of Hateaid were embargoed.

It would actually a large propaganda win for these organisations if there was even the slightest goverment interference here as the supreme constitutional court has a pretty,well, harsh, opinion on that.

Try the Black Forest. We have Lynx and wolves and even a mysterious elk this summer.

And tbh, V60 is a high average to fall from. Had one of these and while I didn’t loved it, I liked it. To quote a friend of mine who still owns one “brutally average and brutally versatile”.

Try a EV6 or 3,though. Good EVs are a huge difference when it comes to “fun in everyday driving” imho, due to their different engine characteristics.

Especially as a European the first two things can be changed to some degree. I live within sight(200m) of a proper nature park that basically is an extension of an national park. And I have four different options for fast train travel within an hour and a (most of the time) reasonably good regional connection and a almost perfect regional connection 25min away.

Tbh, we did specifically move here for these things.

In terms of driving I must disagree - I have driven various cars from the 60ies and while they are gorgeous from the outside, the inside was always very underwhelming and also simply exhausting to drive. But maybe I am also too different - I used to have big company cars (BMW 5, Audi A4/6/7, MB C/E) and did not really like them. Nowadays I drive a EV6 and it’s the most fun car I ever had,by a higr margin.

First time at 8…when my drunk ass neighbour jumped from his 10m high roof and landed on his patio.

Ended with a Helicopter and everything, he actually survived.

Second time was when I was already an EMT to call for backup.

Last time was on Monday to,well, call for backup as an paramedic as radio reception was shit.

Technisation and standardisation are good for the EMS sector.

The whole “it was better when we could do what we want and back then we had only real calls with sicker people and everything was good” is fucking aweful and hurting the profession.

Look, you fucking volunteer dick, I know you do this for 10 years longer than me (and I do it for 25 now),but unlike you I did it full-time and probably had more shifte in one year than you had in your life. Now my back is fucked because back then there was no “electrohydraulic stretcher”, no stair chair, the ventilator was twice as heavy (and could basically nothing), the defibrillator weighted so much we often had to switch carrying it after two floors up.

And we had just as many shit calls,but got actually attacked worse because the shit 2kg radios were shit and had next to zero coverage indoors, and so had cellphones which led to you being unable to even call for backup.

And of course we had longer shifts,needed to work more hours and the whole job market was even more fucked.

“But we didn’t need this and that,we looked at the patient”. Yeah,go fuck yourself. MUCH more people died or took damage from that. So many things were not seen. And it was all accepted as “yeah, that’s how life is”.

So fuck everyone in this field and their nostalgia.

If you like your work? Keep working. The demographic bubble is gonna burst all over the world and that will indeed make pensions unstable.

For Austria and Germany I would basically rule out working as a english teacher tbh - It’s next to impossible.

Basically everyone goes to a state operated or recognised school - and for a job at these you will need a local education degree, superb local language skills (like: Not only speaking on the level of a natural speaker but also dialect free) and for Germany, depending on the state/in the majority of states you will also need the right citizenship.

Private language schools exist,but they are not widely used (like really really rarely) and often are staffed by teachers having a locsl degree, local education students that need some extra money,etc. There are very very few spots where someone with an non-local degree might fit in (and most ads you see for that sadly are a pyramid-like scam).

So… Tbh, maybe consider another way of making money. (And note that self employment in Germany works totally different from the US, is highly regulated and has a LOT of hidden costs)

Wut? Have you read Spiegel, SZ or TAZ in the last years?

If that was in eastern Germany 10 years ago…that was me and I had my reasons,see above.

I had basically the same idea following a similar thread in a forum around 12 years ago.

Not FBI,but something similar from my country. Luckily I only used it for my physically seperated guest network(totally different connection)

… Thanks to Ubiquiti being asshats and not telling people about a zero day for months it got hacked and renamed into “FreeWeedAndFreeBeerIfyouringat{MyLastName}”. They even replaced the background of the portal page with a carefully crafted picture explaining how they did it.

… I very much suspected the two CS students next door,especially as the range was shit and it was either them, someone with a really sophisticated array and (as you couldn’t park in our street it would even be hard for a average wardriver to do so easily) and I very much rule out the 90 year old lady below us or the family who both were,well,rather non technical it seems. (He asked for help to set up his TV)

… As revenge,when one of them got a girlfriend who was as pretty as she was loud we set up a small open wifi on a mikrotik device which was just strong enough to go through one wall that was named “WeCanHearYouHavingSex” that lead to a fileserver that had a .wav in it with a five second proof of that and then Rick Ashley.

… He kindly asked for that being turned off before christmas when his parents would visit.

And now everyone who is salty about it repeats: If you don’t pay for it you are the product.

Tbh, their product is much better than the alternatives, especially for non English cases and we selfhost it anyway for aged now. Which works perfectly well and remains free and open - source.

Real. But I live in a pretty foresty area and just go to the neighbourhood farmer where I also get my eggs from and my poultry and it’s not pricey and goes into the fireplace once it’s dry enough.

No. Patriot act had provisions to make it basically impossible to go through the regular law system. This is not the case here - the whole stuff needs to be approved by a judge and they usually handle these things fairly restricted due the high constitutional burden. Additionally you need to be involved in a pretty specific subset of crimes to be even a possible target.

This is explicitly not the case and unlike the US the evidence obtained illegally can basically never been used with a red-hering, etc.

And there are provisions in the law that actually make the cops already be angry about it, make DAs cry and defending lawyers happy: They must prove that there is no other,less invasive, way to achieve the control of the possible danger - and that can be fairly hard and they risk of the evidence not being admissible in court and their own legal consequences for it. Additionally the approval is time limited, etc. Don’t get me wrong,I am not happy about it either, but it’s a necessary evil,imho - it’s the modern way of a phone tap, which has been a measure used by the cops since 1920ies and it’s sadly one of the few ways to fight organised crime. And it’s the far better alternative to what a lot of other countries want to use and currently push: Backdoor in all messengers.

The true issue with that law is NOT that. The AI bullshit, numberplate recognition, population data use,etc. are the actual issues.

Heise is generally one of the most reliable tech source news outlets in German. (E.g. Netzpolitik.org

And yes,this has been reported on various other news outlets as well

Sadly this is actually not the main issue with that law - the use of KI and population data is far more problematic and overstepping boundaries. The installation of the remote logging software (“govermental trojan”) was already possible before, but not by the state,only by the federal criminal investigation office (BKA) and it still has pretty high boundaries (a judge needs to approve,approval is fairly limited in it’s timespan, there are limits what crimes it can be used for and how data can be used) While I am not happy about it either, personally I must admit I have far less problems with it than with the other parts of the law. Observation on high risk people has always been part of police work and tbh, it needs to be done if you want to tackle organized crime, violent extremists, etc. Back in the 90ies they tapped the phone of the Mafia associates, now communications have shifted so from my point of view it’s acceptable IF “imminent danger” is not routinely assumed regularly (that reduces the limits) and the judges look at it critically - which at least some of them do. And: It’s far far better than the alternative that is being pushed: Backdoors in all chats - as pushed by some EU countries on a EU scale. Far worse.

The AI, automatic number plate scanning,face recognition, etc. part of that law is the issue.

He literally did similar comments DURING HIS FIRST TERM about Somalis as well… But…people have the attention span of a TikTok Video these days.

Well, I wouldn’t directly call it racist. It would have been the same if the Orange would have promised to sell Alaska back to the Russians and an Alaskan still voted for him.

Or a person who likes democracy and freedom voted…oh well…shit…I show myself out.
