… should do the trick.

I did get the 100 notes several times and once even 200 at an ATM and I was super annoyed by that. Usually, if I withdraw larger amounts, I explicitly choose odd numbers to minimize the risk (i.e. 190 instead of 200).

• in my experience everyone hates these bigger notes. already the 100 and 200 ones are rather unpopular if you pay at a restaurant, fast food store, bakery etc. as it means lots of change. 50 is the sweet spot that’s easily accepted everywhere.

German male here. For me that definitely was not a regular thing. I remember only one such check when I was around 14 and one as an adult during a skin cancer checkup. Both situations weren’t super awkward, but pretty short and okay for me.

I’m not even sure if the average rich person’s life is actually getting better by hoarding even more wealth. I tend to believe that being really rich is kind of an illness. Like an addiction where you never feel powerful or rich enough because there’s always someone that’s ahead of you. I feel that capitalism, especially in its current stage, is really bad for everyone.

It takes two is amazing, but AFAIK only allows for two players.

I probably wouldn’t do my job as a hobby during my free time, but in general I like what I do for a living.

I used Reddit for years as a reader without ever posting or commenting. When alternative front ends were ditched, I switched to Lemmy which I really like. Was never banned.

I use oat ‘milk’ that only needs to go into the fridge when open. So only one at a time and wherever there is a free slot.

Some people kind of just want to be dicks.

I think it depends on how you say it. In general, I think it’s a good thing see other people’s opinion, especially if you already have a certain bias. IMHO there are very few topics that have only arguments in one direction.

If they block you from printing guns with a 3D printer, you could print a 3D printer that doesn’t have this limitation and use that instead.

What’s wrong with Indonesians in particular?

They seriously need to build more apartments and condos with concrete instead of thin wood in the US.

Concrete is a desaster from an environmental perspective and there are other ways to dampen sound between two apartment units such as clay, straw, lime, hemp etc.

German here. I learned tú (informal), usted (formal), vosotros (informal) and ustedes (formal). Teacher was from Spain.

As a German, I spent several weeks in Switzerland hiking in the mountains with a backpack and a tent. You can absolutely travel on a budget there if you’re fine with that simple lifestyle and you bring your own equipment. I don’t think my daily budget was more than 20 CHF per person a day. If you shop minimalistic (lentils, couscous, pasta etc.) I’m sure you can go even below 5 CHF.

Even if you didn’t pay them at all, a restaurant should be more expensive than cooking yourself. A restaurant still has plenty of other costs (rent, insurance, furniture, kitchen supplies etc.) and usually ingredients aren’t that much cheaper in wholesale to make up for the difference.

Some are even hard to understand for native German speakers. ich_iel has lots of jokes in so-called ‘pliers german’ which is a mix of German and word-by-word translated English terms. It’s not really understood by an average German you’d ask on the streets.

I usually don’t write it down, so I hope I remember it correctly:

Yesterday I had:

• Gnocchi with leek, soy chunks (“minced meat”) and basil
• Smashed cucumber salad with roasted sesame and black onion seeds
• A salad with pasta made from pea flour with beluga lentils (ingredients were left over)
• Lentil waffels (crispy flat bread similar to rice cake, not sure if you can buy these outside Europe) with hummous
• Muesli with lupine yoghurt and walnuts
• Chocolate

The day before I had

• Pasta made from pea flour with a bolognese out of eggplant beluga lentil and nutritional yeast
• Bake-off bread with bean puree
• Caesar salad from sugar loaf (?) with blended almonds and hazelnuts
• Two bars from caramalized peanuts (“Mr Tom”)
• Vegan gummy bears

Another day before:

• Grilled veggies (zucchini, corn, mushrooms, green peppers)
• Grilled seitan steaks
• Chick pea waffels (similar to lentil waffels) with soy cottage cheese
• Pop corn

Yet another day before:

• Rice with green flageolet beans, smoked tofu, coconut milk and roasted peanuts
• Raw veggies (carrots, green peppers, cherry tomatoes) with cashew dip
• Baguette
• Nuts mix with raisins and cranberries
• Sugar-coated peanuts (vegan alternative to M&Ms)

I’m the commenter who eats once a day. Not sure, if that’s the information you’re looking for, but I could easily do 48 hours without negative impact on my well being. I don’t do “real” fasting, but my body is really forgoving in the meantime. I don’t feel hangry or tired. If I can’t get my food in time, I’ll just get it later. Sometimes it feels like a tiny superpower compared to other people who sometimes seem to really suffer in such situations.
