Miraculously it kinda worked for the fall.

Laid off probably…

It’s been a few years, but last time I was there, (some) bars in Berlin still has large smoking sections.

Thanks for taking the time to answer!

What’s the typical reaction to that? Bring honest like that doesn’t sound like a winning strategy, unless you pass it off as a joke maybe.

He’ll be sorry cop alright…

Miles Tek does that in the later books, IIRC. strap a lasgun to a shield generator, instant pseudo nuclear bomb.

Edit: I guess the difference is that they are dropping the whole package, not just the lasgun.

Wouldn’t it make sense to minimize that disadvantage then? There will always be people who have no other choice but rent, so they should be protected from exploitation. And stronger renter protection could cool down the housing market, because it makes being a landlord work multiple properties less attractive. Win-win if you ask me.

Renting by itself would be fine, it’s just that there’s barely any rent control in North America, and you’re constantly at the mercy of your landlord, inflation and general greed. Put national standards for renter protection and rent increases in place and this would be much less of a problem.

Alter, willst du mich verarschen? Das kannst du nicht ernsthaft glauben? The fucking Boomers had it worse than the Germans in 1930?

So what you’re saying is - it’s their choice. That seems worse, no?

So what’s the excuse for the people who had what is probably the cushiest life in all of human history?

Klaus.

Oh yeah, no question.

I think 79 is supposed to be the last year for gen X.

I'm on my second battery, this has been my main personal computer (gaming aside) for over ten years. Maybe it deserves one more extension on life… I'll think about it!

Oh yeah, mine lasts 30 minutes max, but for a home laptop that's fine.

Eh, mine runs fine. Only thing that bothers me is the crap display.

Your own practical Jesus…
