Weird thing is it's only called that way if you switch it to english. Was looking at the italian menu and couldn't figure it out since there were also weird names on but the one you mentioned is just called rib eye so I immediately scrolled over it.

So most probably at least nearly nobody is going to order it with that name, can't imagine them having a lot of english menues available outside the airport locations and the ones in the centres of big, touristy cities.

God from the bible. The whole book will just be a bunch of ancient stories nobody should care about anymore. Would be interesting to see what the world would be like without Christianity.

Could easily be that they have a bunch of people in Munich they can not fire since German labour laws are at least compared to a lot of places not that bad and they have to come up with some work for them. So having them work on this is still cheaper then having the people in the valley plus "useless" people in Munich.

I don't know the reason for this but if I would need to guess then it's mainly about not being afraid of being sued to bankruptcy in the rare case something happens. Though I really can't remember reading about anything happening to a child in a news paper, so I assume (or let's say hope) no to drastic accidents happened on German playgrounds in the last years.

Never considered that health insurance might be an issue to come up with those super safe playgrounds. But yeah if your retirement is endangered by you kiddo climbing up a monkey bar set it might feel way more dangerous. Could maybe also explain to a certain why most European playgrounds are more adventurous then their US counterparts.

EDIT: Also tbh I really do think it's a good thing for kids to be able to climb up on things and explore stuff that might look dangerous especially to the small ones and learn how to behave their and how to overcome those situations and also learn to improve their body control at the same time as well.

What an amazing time to be alive that those few words are providing all the required context.

He's not and btw the proper name for this used in German is "Misere" which is originally Latin meaning "have mercy" but the word is also used to just described something as a really bad situation.

I wouldn't necessarily call it civilized world, but yeah for basically every country that belongs to the so called "1st world" except the US it is and it takes a few years to become a police officer.

But it has to start speaking to them in the first place and I think OP was specifically looking for the "conversation starters"

Same thing with why do I need to pay someone to do maintenance my car, kitchen, AC, whatever works perfectly well.

Also why should we pay developers to do stuff like dependency upgrades and other maintenance or software just runs™

I remember it being like that already in 2014. The only thing especially annoying I remember was having to use optimus to manually switch between the "internal" Intel GPU and the dedicated Nvidia GPU to not run out of battery within an hour. But the whole set up thing was never an issue for me on Mint and Ubuntu even 10 years ago.

A lot of people did this at that company as well. But mainly my point was that it might be better to first get productive, or verify you can be productive with the OS you installed before you waste tons of hours configuring it in some obscure ways.

Especially since it was usually the ones straight outta university who did the fancy configuration, tons of alias, custom theming and so on stuff while most senior Devs using Linux just used default Ubuntu, Fedora or whatever installations. Something that just worked.
