Why? Cause shops are open on sunday? Having no workers rights makes that a lot easier

Yes. Shops being closed on Sundays is a major PITA. I have 2 days off a week. So I have to buy groceries in overcrowded shops in the evening or in overcrowded shops on Saturdays. Or I drive across the border and buy in Luxemburg, on Sundays. So the VAT I am creating stays in another country. Which is just plain stupid.

Also: workers' rights and shops being open on Sundays aren't mutually exclusive.

I have the cheapest Philips shaver. It is pretty mid. It came with its own charger. On the shaver's side it looks like a standard ungrounded 220V female connection. But it actually is some propriety DC thingy. Very annoying. Why not just use USB-C?

Yes, of course. Preferably tap water.

Are they one-stop in the US, though?

In Germany you usually have a little shopping center with Aldi and/or Lidl, a DM and an Edeka. Once you have finished shopping at Aldi and DM you can pop into Edeka and get the 1 or 2 items you didn't get at Aldi and DM.

Many people in Germany are doing it like that. Edeka seems to florish from the people who prefer branded products and/or can't get into 2 shops because they don't go grocery shopping by car and can't really visit more than 1 shop, because you can't enter a 2nd one with a bag full of goods from the 1st one.

As soon as you have at least 2 people in the car, yes. A plane's fuel consumtpion per pessenger is about that of a car, if the plane is at capacity.

I don't drive a car that needs detonating dino-dhiarrea anymore. And BEVs only habe one gear. So there's that.

I gave my Brazilian friend quite a bit of money for a CT at a private clinic. The public clinic (hospital?) supposedly was totally overbooked for this kind of examination so they had some kind of lottery going on for appointments.

Could of course also be that my friend scammed me, not sure.

There aren't any BEVs with this kind of manual transmissions. They just have 1 gear and are operated like automatics. And I am definitely not going back to DDD fuels (detonating dino diarrhea).

Nah. The OS is not important enough to me. I buy according to specs and price/performance-ratio. If Linux won't easily run, I will just run windows on it. It's only the OS after all.

I try using Linux on my desktop PC from time to time. Whenever I buy a new rig, I try Linux, as I want to reinstall the system anyway. It never worked. I always tried with brand new hardware -> something is not properly supported -> install current windows. Rinse and repeat every 4 or 5 years whenever I get my hand on a new desktop or laptop. That never changed for the last 20 years.
