The European Central Bank has been working on this for many years. The current crisis is not the cause but may significantly speed up resources dedicated and raise urgency of the process.

It's been some time since I read thru the proposals of the European Central Bank. But a digital euro isn't just a replacement for a credit card system. It's a difference system altogether where transactions are directly cleared with the central bank (or a certified agent) online.

Feeling confused, amused, bewildered or overwhelmed yet? It's working than, it's the Trump team's strategy.

Ultimately it's because of corruption. When chancellor Kohl was incumbent it was clear that fibre optics is the future. He instead pushed for the technically inferior alternative of cable internet to satisfy his business buddies.

That being said, Germany's not only lagging behind in connectivity but in digital infrastructure in general. Many businesses and especially the administration are still stuck in the previous century. Plus there's a considerable lack of IT knowhow (and herhaps interest) in the general populace. Travellers from countries like Estonia or Finland must feel like having traveled back into the past 20 years.

I'm still using a fax machine to send messages to the local government cause they can't properly handle email yet, lol. Called the hospital the other day due to some info missing on their website. Had a very confusing convo with their staff cause the lady genuinely didn't understand the difference between a website, a browser, Google and a search bar widget and kept confounding them. That's where we are at 🤷🏽.

Yeah, when I need to inspect lots of images I just open the folder in gwenview.

For peeking at a single picture or two through you can hold down control and click/hover on the filename when using Konsole. Love that feature. You can even listen to .wav files this way.

If you need it precise and adjustable use 2 layers and concentrate them with the alignment tool.

Using the official dock? Most of my problems were solved by updating the firmware. That does NOT happen automatically via the regular Steam Decker updates btw, need to trigger it yourself.

Always thought of the noise channel giving the Gameboy a unique character among low bit rate music. Glad to see you make use of it (I like Thunderking arena for instance).

 

The picture shows a close up of their skin. You can see tiny water droplets curling up on the black scales, as is typical on repellant surfaces.

It's a valid question. I originally read about it in a physical book, then wrote the (misconstrued) headline from memory before finding a digital source that people could click on. I've corrected it now.

 

Feeling no pain is actually terrible as you won't know when you hurt yourself and you don't properly learn to avoid dangerous situation. People with this mutation have to rely on others for danger assessment as for example they won't notice easily that they have open wounds or even broken bones. Tragically this boy died at the age of 13 when jumping/falling off a building; the sources differ but it's likely that he engaged in risky behavior if he couldn't feel any pain from falling.

Edit: The original title improperly stated that the boy was from India. Corrected it to Pakistan.
