Yeah sounds expensive to me. Also a German. 1 Pizza delivered is around 10€ that’s it. But that wouldnt get me over the minimum delivery order though. Not a problem for me yet since I’ve never ordered a pizza only for myself

But that’s the thing about induced demand. Of course widening a road temporarily improves traffic. But only temporary. That temporary improved leads to more people deciding to drive a car when they didn’t in the past or even having different moving options in mind now which they didn’t because if traffic. In the end traffic ends up the same if not worse than before. That’s not something the Internet came up with. It’s been studied and researched for years. It works on the simple principle of: If you make something more convenient to use, more people will use it. Cars just don’t scale. They can’t do mass transport and aren’t meant for that. You need to make a city walkable and have a proper public transport system otherwise you will only ever lose even more money on car infrastructure while continuing to worsen traffic, heating up the city because of the sealed surfaces, making the city less desirable to actually exist in and worsening it’s economy. Build the city properly and people will actually choose a different option. No matter the climate in that city. Especially because heat is only worse with massive amounts of car infrastructure because they usually result in less green spaces and trees which provide shade and a cooling effect in the city.
Induced demand actually means that more people drive now because the people that didn’t drive in the past / lived somewhere else because it was less convenient because of the traffic to commute by car or live somewhere else where they would have needed a car now decide to commute by car / actually move (yeah that also something we have observed) because the widening temporarily improved traffic. In the end traffic ends up the same if not worse. Induced demand isn’t something the Internet has come up with. It’s actually a real thing that has been studied and researched. We know it exists. It functions on the basic principle of: If you improve something and make it more convenient to use that something, more people will actually use it.
That’s the thing: Technically yes. It temporarily improves traffic. But only temporarily. IDK about you but spending billions of dollars to only temporarily improve traffic and then it ending up the same or even worse than before doesn’t sound like a good investment to me.
That’s the whole thing about induced demand though: People want to get somewhere and believe it or not, not everyone does so by car. But if you decide to add more lanes it temporarily improves traffic leading to those people that didn’t take a car in the past or lived somewhere else because they knew traffic would be horrible if they moved, to actually commute by car now / go forth with their plan to move, increasing the amount of traffic again until it’s as bad if not even worse than before. Cars don’t scale. Cars aren’t for mass transport and shouldnt be used for that. A city with a highway like in the picture really needs a transit system/a better one and fever lanes
Afaik, no. Japanese either uses 音読み onyomi = Chinese reading (literally “sound reading”, 音 = sound, 読み = reading) and 訓読み Kunyomi = Japanese reading (訓 has multiple kanji meanings. I learned it as “instruction”. Sites list the meanings as 訓 = instruction, Japanese character reading, explanation, read) for words that have kanji (Chinese characters). The original Chinese characters don’t have a “Japanese reading” afaik. They are Chinese after all.
Idk I feel like buying a cat with your groceries was a bit too much. Should have just skipped the groceries and only bought the cat
I can see the similarities now but I’ve never thought about that. Tbh even slight changes in an anime makes it a different show for me. I liked both. Niskoi more though. FI, KM always had a bit of a crappier, fan service feel to it. It’s not bad though, just different
to my severe problems
You mean the problems the fascist just made up and actually aren’t a really problem
Yeah thats a problem I frequently see. People arguing that we should solve “the problems” and then naming things that fascists made up and actually aren’t real problems. How does one solve a problem that doesn’t exist but people have been made to think it exists by lying fascists? Telling them that what the fascists say is a lie won’t help either cause they are not willing to accept other opinions
Honestly I don’t see the reason they put that there. I already own Firefox why are you trying to win me over?
I do have Firefox although on LibreWolf I didn’t experience those problems a few weeks ago. Thanks I’ll check! I also have Enhancer for YouTube as a plugin so I can set custom speeds etc for videos but I disabled its ad blocker and use ublock for that. Wasn’t a problem on Librewolf either but I’ll try to look into it. Thanks!
YouTube keeps buffering and skipping short sections of videos for me on PC with uBlock origin. I’m so confused since apparently AdBlock Plus which I don’t use was responsible for the whole buffering thing and now I’m here and wondering wtf is wrong with my setup
I still think one shouldn’t do that. It gives the wrong impressions to your child that gifting a living creature to someone is acceptable. If your kids really wish for a pet, let them research into the topic, research on your own to and present all the responsibilities that come with owning a pet. If they still want one support them in looking for for one and after finding one take them with you to buy/get it as well as buy the most essential tools for pet ownership. That way they should learn that deciding to own and take care of another living being is a big responsibility while giving them the option to learn for themselves and grow closer to the pet they chose themselves.
After getting a pet let them handle stuff like walking a dog themselves for example (depending on the age) or if they are too young take them with you on walks or a trip to the vet.
I’m not at all a qualified person in any of these fields. I’m a student that studies computer science. My family does have a dog though (which my brother wanted. I’m more of a cat person :D) Those are just some recommendations that feel right to me.
Never understood the whole gifting cars or pets to your kid in movies. Even if you can afford it, why would you gift a fucking car like it’s nothing. Oh and don’t get me started on the gifting pets part. If anyone actually dies that irl, they clearly don’t deserve to have pets. You don’t just gift a fucking living being which comes with a lot of responsibility
I think most of them just haven’t noticed when it happened. Same with other products. You need to be a person that has bought the product some times in the past and the type of person to check how much you actually get (the amount of content) to realize something like that when it happens. Even if they realized at some point or got told by another person it probably doesn’t affect a person as much anymore as a person wo saw through that the second it happened since they might think “Well I have been using it the last few weeks/months etc and I was still satisfied”
Yeah I liked them. Had some good flavor options. I only bought them in the past when they were on sale for 1,39€ though. Otherwise they are way too expensive. But since they reduced the amount of chips and made them even more expensive I have never and will never buy them again. They can go fuck themselves. I get it if you have to temporarily raise prices because of inflation or because the war affects you in some way but at the same time reducing the amount of chips in them while keeping the same packaging and hoping no one would notice is just an asshole move.
No, they are smaller. The largest size is 30cm which is enough for me though. The most expensive one with that size costs 11,50€. Another delivery place has 32cm ones. Most expensive there is 9,40€. There is nothing inherently wrong with them. They aren’t from an Italian restaurant though and aren’t the same quality you would get in a real restaurant. They still taste good and satisfy your pizza cravings though. Delivery is free too if you’re over the minimum order balance. From what I’d guess they are on the are more like those fast food pizza places like Pizza Hut or Domino’s but I’ve ordered like maybe once from them so I’m not sure.
Maybe we both use deliveries differently. If I order something for delivery I don’t expect Restaurant quality food. If your pizza is from a Italian restaurant and is really well made/restaurant quality I see why it’s so expensive. For me delivery is more “fancy” than fast food but not as “fancy” as actually eating in a real restaurant
