Dude’s just trying to coerce 18*-24 year-olds into having sex with him.

It’s not very effective.

* Lets give him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s partly my point.

“Safe to drink” means: you can drink this and not immediately die or get sick/poisoned from it.

“Drinking water quality” means: if you drink nothing but this water for your whole life, it won’t harm you. (as far as our scientific understanding goes)

That’s a bit of a gap.

Do you mind sharing which part of the world you’re in?

I made my degree in Germany (and Switzerland for a small part) and there are a few assumptions that come with that. We mostly have combined sewers here (i.e. wastewater and rainwater runoff through the same pipe) and local regulations of course.

Maybe you have different circumstances where you live?

Also on a side note: I consider solar panels as a kind of a cheat as well, because they are not in any way reliant on the water treatment process and could be installed regardless and fed into the grid. Though the dual usage of the area is much appreciated and using their energy at the source is a good idea.

How do you know so much about waste water treatment and why are you so optimistic about what could be done?

I’ve got a relevant university degree, and I’m way less optimistic about most of these topics.

For example:

Muds can be harvested for digestion, in order to produce methane for generating electricity. Depending on the scale, it can be used to power the plant alone or to inject into the wide power grid.

This is usually not a net gain. Wastewater treatment plans consume more energy than can be harvested from the wastewater. The only WWTP I know that claims to produce more than they require for operation can only do so, because they accept additional organic material from a nearby slaughterhouse into their sludge fermentation stage, which is a bit of a cheat.

The same plant is btw also burning their treated sludge because it contains too many pollutants to be used in agriculture.

Citation needed.

I highly doubt that. There would be absolutely no reason to clean the water up to tap water quality and then discharge it into the river, instead of using it as tap water. That’s just not economically feasible.

I know a part of the Danube near Vienna is a valuable nature reserve, but even then tap water quality is not necessary.

If you have a source that proves your claim, I’d be highly interested to learn why and how they do that. I have a degree in environmental engineering, and I want to know when I’m wrong about something like this.

‘Mustermann’ is more like an artificial placeholder name, that gets used on facsimilies of passports and drivers licenses used as example illustrations.

“Muster” in that context also means something that is only for demonstration purposes, not the real deal. That word is also printed across prints of Euro-bills when they are depicted somewhere in order to avoid charges for producing counterfeit money.

Afaik there are actual people with that last name, but that’s pretty rare.

I was thinking Mustermann is more like John Doe in that regard, but John Doe is also used for a hypothetical regular, average person and we have “Otto Normalverbraucher” for that use-case. (“Normalverbraucher” literally means ‘normal consumer’, no real person has a name like that)

OP’s question is aimed more at a last name, that is very common and stereotypical, almost boring. While the close translation of Smith Schmitt/Schmidt/Schmid also fulfills that criteria the even more regular one would be Müller and Mayer (or one of its spelling varieties)

Those three names are so common that “Müller-Mayer-Schmidt” has become another phrase used to refer to the average citizen archetype.

Me too. I was in elementary school when I used to play this and sharks were just too damn cool.

The problem with CLI is it can’t be made easier with a different interface.

That’s what TUI (like ncurses) is for.

Q.E.D.

That’s a pretty screwed up way to view society. ‘Debutante balls’, at the least the ones I know, are usual events where teenagers dance with partners of the SAME age.

This is more an elitist networking event with the chance to get your offspring to hook up with someone of ‘suitable’ social status.

Historically speaking, the age gaps might have been a lot bigger, but I guess societal norms and laws were also different then.

Of you course you can’t avoid older people on the sidelines ogling, but presenting that as the main purpose of the event is a pretty big stretch imho.

And regarding grooming: that’s not the typical definition, either. Usually grooming is a tactic to make the abuse victim accepting of their abuse. Waiting for them to reach legal age before ‘cashing in’ on that effort is not a usual part of it.

I agree it might be a hypothetical scenario though, that could be played out to do some really fucked up manipulation long game, while staying within a legal framework. But then again, that doesn’t strictly require the predator and victim to be related and if you want to have a way to abolish that, it shouldn’t need to rely on that either.

2 child policy is also not a good idea. There’s gonna be people not having kids, no matter what.

Unless you introduce state mandated big-tiddy goth gfs for breeding, it’s not gonna work out.

And even then, there are gonna be people dying before they can reproduce.

So morals aside, it simply isn’t that simple.

Same.

I can also order tea with milk on an airplane.

That’s about it, though.

Hallo. Wie geht’s, mon ami?

Doesn’t need any incest laws for that, when child abuse is already illegal, though.

Or do you think the predator in that scenario is gonna wait for her to reach legal age?

All I can say is, that I’ve at least been to both ends of this journey.

This could have been in a de-motivational poster format. And I’d happily welcome those back.

I’d say Iraq is missing on the top of that list.

Thanks for the elaboration. I think I get it now, but yeah, the benefits would be limited.

Gotta take a look at Ansible. I’ve never used it before.

Looking through the titles in different languages, it seems wild to me how different they sometimes are. Polish and Serbian also use some variant of Jonatan. Makes me wonder why, they felt the need to change that.

I don’t know, but wouldn’t have guessed that Jodocus was a common name in Dutch either, that needs translation to be more common sounding in another language.
To me it sounds like a made up name, that vibes with the character being a duck.

I don’t know if that would be practical. I’m not aiming to clone my system. Those machines have vastly different hardware capabilities and use-cases. Also I know much too little about networking at all and one of those machines (the Frankenstein’s Computer) is in a completely different household, so i’d have to sync it over the internet.

But maybe you can elaborate a bit and explain why that might work well for me.
