I love how accommodating they are to bigger sizes:

Looks like a roomy fit.

Die Unsicherheit über die Zölle erstreckte sich aber auch auf diejenigen, dessen Job es ist/war sie kontrollieren und einzusammeln. Aktiv durchgesetzt wurden Trumps Zölle wohl noch nie.

There are barely enough rest stops in many places of Europe to accommodate truck drivers just taking their mandatory rest breaks. Look at the stops along any busy German highway at night, it's pure pandemonium. There's an estimated 20 000 truck parking spots missing in Germany alone: https://www.adac.de/news/lkw-parken-an-raststaetten/

Now imagine that every single one of those spots (not the missing ones, not the new ones, all of them - millions) also needs a charging station. That's a monumental undertaking.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it'll be extremely hard and would take a lot of time and money. This isn't a "we're halfway there" situation, we haven't even started.

The same is true for almost any open world game with vehicles. Casually driving a car in GTA while obeying the traffic rules has been a thing from the very beginning.

This still feels different somehow, though.

Mullvad no longer supports port forwarding.

And that sample size is pretty small. I wouldn't count on the US losing a war.

Number one!? I don't think we're even in the double digits anymore ...

Programmers who maintain code get laid off, programmers who create new code get promoted.

These kind of lay-offs always result in more bugs and more fucking up shit for no reason.

Small Gods is indeed a great choice. I never thought of it as a "book for atheists" and it's quite unlikely to turn someone religious into a non-believer - but it's clever, funny and one of my personal favorite Terry Patches books. So, worst case scenario: you've read a highly entertaining book.

"The Bible" is the book that ultimately turned me into a convinced atheist. If you actually read it, without having it filtered and read to you by religious people with agendas, it's hard to continue believing in any of its insane ramblings. But it's a really tough, slow and often immoral and revolting read. Mostly, it's just really stupid.

"The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" is the opposite. It's a funny, light and often silly read. It's not exactly deep, but neither are the books it's parodizing. As a satire of other religious text it works reasonably well in putting the finger in the wound.

"The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever" is just that: a collection of texts and letters on the subject by some brilliant minds: Bertrand Russell, Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, Lucrecius, Charles Darwin, Richard Dawkins and many more ... collected and edited by Christopher Hitchens. As an anthology it allows you to dip your toes in and read the texts you are interested in. Maybe my first choice as serious "atheism for beginners" literature.

It sounds too much like those frozen Rocky Mountain oysters on a stick. You know, Testsicles.

🎵 Pop a Poppler in your mouth

When you come to Fishy Joe's

What they're made of is a mystery

Where they come from, no one knows

You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em

You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em

And if you promise not to sue us

You can shove one up your nose 🎵
