Note that even before it's been running at down to 10% of capacity due to the draught.

You don’t have to keep feeding the chicken/pigs/etc. if you stop eating chicken/pigs/etc. Most livestock is fed food specifically grown to feed livestock.

You're right but there has been some progress in that matter.

I.e. streaming providers can't stop you from watching Germany exclusive Netflix content when on holidays in Greece using your German Netflix subscription (only free/ad supported services are allowed to do that)

> physics is what you study if you couldn't do engineering

Wdym "couldn't do"? Nobody here is studying Physics for the job opportunities but I'd say everybody who makes it past semester 4 genuinely loves Physics otherwise they'd be studying something easier.

I record my travels using travelynx and this is how Deutsche Bahn has been faring:

- 2022: 15512 km travelled, spent 150:23 in trains, timetable: 148:42

- 2023: 9818 km travelled, spent 121:01 in trains, timetable: 118:39

- 2024: 11614 km travelled, spent 129:28 in trains, timetable: 127:48

- 2025: 10636 km travelled, spent 116:21 in trains, timetable: 109:58

This year was skewed upwards by a 3 hour delay because some teenagers managed to get into a railway tunnel causing a track closure for multiple hours...

A lot of times the time you save by going for high speed rail is still worth it.

Google, including Google Flights, does have a cookie banner. It's just likely that you already accepted/denied the prompt at some point.

To be fair: if you're doing a Masters degree the grade you end up getting on your Bachelors degree is pretty unimportant and Masters usually isn't graded that harshly.

But yeah, we had exams with 70% failing.

A Fachhochschule (Wikipedia calls them "university of applied sciences") in Germany is very similar to a university but as they're less research oriented and usually (with some notable exceptions) don't have the ability to grant doctoral degrees. AFAIK none have the permission to grant the ability to become professor (Habilitation). They also usually have a limited selection of subjects.

There are also Technische Universitäten (Technical University) which are "proper" universities with the ability to grant doctorates and the ability to become professor.

So Fachhochschulen are a separate thing from both Berufsschule (vocational school) and universities.

Not just Asia. E.g. in Congo it's tradition to see the spouse's siblings as sisters and brothers. There it goes both ways though. (Not sure it's embedded into law.)

At least with the Venus probes they were only publicly announced when they were well on their way to Venus with failures either not getting published or getting assigned alibi mission goals (e.g. if they failed to leave earth's orbit) so failure modes were limited to the destination.

From the Wikipedia page:

> The frequency initially chosen for Galileo would have made it impossible for the US to block the Galileo signals without also interfering with its own GPS signals. [...], but they have since reached the compromise that Galileo is to use different frequencies. This allows the blocking or jamming of either GNSS without affecting the other.

Interesting
