Shudder. Not sure I could drink that, honestly

Can’t second this enough. If you have the space and ability, you should always have at least a small stock of general consumables.

Most things I do ;)

Does f95 count as porn, though? It’s only for AVN’s, I thought.

Or you’d be buried by 300 layers of very similar open apps with different info loaded in each instance

Not to worry, there’s a construction site next to me. I’m sure they wouldn’t miss just one small little spool

I was under the impression that had been solved by third parties? Or is chip cloning not enough?

A lot of people, maybe. There’s also a pretty solid minority of people who see this as a great way of making some easy bucks (it absolutely is, if you think about it).

And before you say I’m making this up, this is based both on stories told by Ukrainian acquaintances about people they know who emigrated, and personal experiences with the average refugee who left.

Don’t forget that becoming a refugee IS a privilege generally reserved for those with enough money to make the trip, not for the poor bastard dying for his country.

Just because something costs 250 million USD does not mean it can’t be regarded as low cost/unimportant. You’re forgetting the general is more than used to dealing with such numbers, and for the military as a whole, maybe 250 million IS unimportant.

If you ask a second-generation billionaire if a 5000$ shirt is expensive, their answer will likely differ from that of the average person.

You're disregarding Art.15 III GG then. Particularly Art. 15 III s. 2,3 GG (of the German version), which regulate reimbursement in the case of nationalisation. Which, again, make it a fairly difficult thing to do. Especially as we all know that Art. 20a GG, which is the only logical argument to base this all on, is just a way of getting out of actually doing something. Pretty much everyone has agreed that it means nothing except for a vague sense of 'direction'.

As for your last point, that could just as easily be interpreted as the energy they produce being in the service of energy production for the entire country, as well as ensuring that coal miners continue to have a job. If that's not a socially beneficial use of coal reserves, not sure what to tell you. Energy self sufficiency is important.

As for your landlord comment, which honestly is an entirely different matter in and of itself, that basically won't fall under 'land, natural resources or means of production', unless one of those Berlin judges decides to do Berlin things.

EDIT (because I forgot the context of what I was replying to)
None of this even takes into account that what the guy above me wrote was about simply 'shutting down coal' tomorrow. Which is a very different thing from taking public ownership, and then running the business into the ground overnight.

I’ve heard that they can push things under your gums, and should actually be avoided. Not sure how accurate that is, though.

Well effectively, it would entail an all-encompassing global spying machine that gathers all data possible, and imprisons anyone who deviates from the expected baseline. (Wouldn’t end well for me either.) You have to remove most individuality to remove reasons for fighting. And even if you imprison 999 false leads to capture just one instigator, that’s the only way to ‘guarantee’ a fairly high level of security.

So what I’d say we need is 1984 or Мы levels of oversight to have any chance of curtailing conflict for good.

EDIT: oh, and re-education. Lots and lots of re-education.
