Idk about where you live, but “versuchter Totschlag” is very much a thing in Germany. Translates to attempted manslaughter and is in essence an extension to aggravated assault for cases where it should be obvious to the perpetrator, that their actions are significantly likely to cause death.
Specifically kicking the head of a person who is already on the ground is one of the things that is basically guaranteed to get you charged with that .
That shouldn’t be a setback of ten years, it should be an automatic attempted manslaughter charge and exclusion from any job that gives immediate power over strangers.
I mostly agree, but saying nobody ever sculpted in marble is a bit like saying nobody ever painted with oil paint because most of the most well known oil paintings were done according to sketches made with charcoal or pencil.
The finished sculpture is made of marble, and thus it was sculpted in marble. Not at first perhaps, but eventually
Of course there are still sculptors around! Like most art sculptures have gotten more abstract tho. Visit any museum of modern Art and you are sure to find some!
Marble and the like are of course incredibly expensive, and for that reason most people stick to more affordable options like wood or ice. Or do additive sculpting with clay/plaster, welding or something like that. If you really want to work with stone you might want to apprentice with a stonemason.
How did I start? Took a pocketknife in my hand and started whittling. The foundations of working in a subtractive manner are largely independent of material.
I always thought the point of standing desks was, that you could periodically switch between standing and sitting. That should be at least somewhat beneficial right?
Let’s hope, that that lifetime isn’t too much longer
That it doesn’t exist. Real money saver that one.
This might be a number for the west bank? Idk, but the toll in Gaza is definitely orders of magnitude higher.
That’s no argument against them being god. It is an argument against that gods omnipotence tho. Or more precisely, argument against the very idea of omnipotence.
Not very hard to read code, but then again his supporters can’t be very smart

En, I don’t know. So much innovation has happened because of parent workarounds. Also they can kind of stop big companies just completely copying some innovation and driving the inventor out of businesses It’s pretty apparent in the 3d printing industry. Companies like Prusa, E3d, Ultimaker, MakerBot and Aleph-Objects brought consumer 3d printing from basically a hot glue gun to better than some $100k+ industry machines. All of them used to be completely open sourced. Ok, MakerBot and to some degree Ultimaker just went off the deep end, but Prusa is now also holding back their design files for a while after release, E3d has released their new hotend as basically closed Source. Why? Well they want to avoid going the path of Aleph-Objects who had to sell out to a holding company because Chinese manufacturers copied everything as fast as it could be developed and sold it for a fraction of the price.
I’d love if it didn’t have to be this way, but it kind of does now.
Edit: if near monopolies like intel AMD and Nvidia would have to give up their parents the world would most definitely be a more innovative place :D
Makes perfect sense while you are holding a stick drift!
Being better than one of the most destructive industries ever is not a high bar. But the most effective way to harvest lithium remains an open pit mine, which are arguably worse than literally anything else.
That’s not the point. If you rip a dvd, you babe the movie, but you can’t sell DVDs with the movie, because it is copyrighted. After the “AI” has recreated it, the copyright is gone, so you can sell that version with impunity.
I feel like 1500 for THE premium office chair really isn’t much when you look at, for example Smartphone prices. And lots of people spend nearly as much time in their computer chair as in their bed. And I don’t think 1500$ is a lot for a bedframe, mattress, pillow and blanket.
I’ve heard they are worth it, though I have never sat in one. IKEA also makes surprisingly good office chairs, those I know and recommend.
And something like 80% of the rest of the world (No source, made it the fuck up :))
That would be funny, but it’s more likely because they are about to go under if they don’t change something up. Doing one of the most requested this seems like a good start in that direction.
Don’t worry, I did the same. Just assuming that legislature would be the same and all…
