Meanwhile most passenger trains in Germany are double-headed. They have only one locomotive, but the last wagon also has a driver's cabin so the locomotive can push the train while still being controlled from the front

I suspect that's deliberate to make someone that speaks English and doesn't know German still get the correct impression of what it actually sounds like, rather than get the spelling right

I'm German, and I've never heard that before. I'd be seriously weirded out by someone saying that or teaching it to their kids

I mean, you're not wrong, but your point is also kinda meaningless. Of course, you only ever do things because there's something in it for you, even if that something is just feeling good about yourself. If there was truly nothing in it for you, then why would you do it?

But that misses the point of the "people are inherently selfish" vs "people are inherently generous" discussion, because it's not actually about whether people do things only for themselves at the most literal level, instead it's about whether people inherently get something out of doing things for others without external motivation. So your point works the same on both sides of the argument.

we're going to ostracize you from society forever

That is very different from simply not wanting him to be a representative for his country and potential role model for aspiring athletes in one of the biggest media events of the world though. Being welcomed back as a member of society is one thing, but there is a point to be made about expecting more of Olympic athletes than your average member of society.

No, nutomic started by ignoring the actual question that was asked and instead starting an ideological argument with a bad faith question. You might say that OP shouldn't have taken the bait, but this was not started by them

It still protects you from your passwords being compromised in any way except through a compromise of the password manager itself. Yes, it's worse than keeping them separate, but it's also still much better than not having 2fa at all.

It depends on where you live. In Germany, forced arbitration in general TOS is invalid and has to be separately negotiated and agreed to. In general, what you can put into your TOS is pretty restricted, anything you put in there that a consumer wouldn't reasonably expect is not gonna be legally binding.

The German saying says "Hut", which is a less broad term than the English "hat". And it definitely does not include that.

I mean, this is one of the few cases where you actually can reasonably say that you might not have to give a damn about GDPR. Assuming this is in the US, there's a high chance that no EU citizen lives in that building, and thus GDPR doesn't apply.

(Yes, I know this didn't actually happen)

I don't know about this case specifically, but I own Alan Wake on steam which has since been delisted because of music licenses running out. At least for that one, I still own the game on steam and can download, install and play it normally whenever I want, it's just that people cannot buy it anymore through steam. If you're lucky, it's gonna be the same with the adult swim games.

The Brickfilming community has taken it upon themselves to recreate the entire Lego Movie, scene for scene, in stop motion, in celebration of the movie's ten year anniversary! Last Wednesday, the project was officially announced and a first trailer released, and we're extremely proud of what we've already achieved so far. It's an ambitious project, but we have lots of fantastically skilled people on it, and it's shaping up nicely :)

"Caret" is also correct, and more specific, since "Cursor" can also mean the mouse cursor.
