I love that fifth pillar „Owning Class.“ It’s often not mentioned in such overviews but reveals most of the power structures im out world.
Would be interesting to have an additional row of „Life Happiness“ Being super-rich doesn’t mean being super-happy in your life.
I‘m not sure how GDP is measured for an international company such as Google. Does the entire Revenue count cos the HQ sits in the US? Or is the license fees that it pays to Bahama‘s (in order to avoid taxes) is substracted from the US GDP? Does somebody know how that is measured?
If you just need the energy for the pool, a small setup without battery is all you need. Saves you half the price. Panels and inverters are around 900€ in Germany. Putting a battery on it makes another 1,200€ and it makes sense only, if you need power in the evening.
No, commenting is fast but reading is slow and clutter.
I think it came up like this: Saudi king at his last visit at Chinese Wall. „Uw, one can see it from the space? That’s awesome.“ At home: „Servants, build something as big as the Chinese Wall that is visible from the space, so everyone sees how great I am.“
One of the few countries that never have been colonized by the West.
Go out and plant a tree. I’ve done mine 10 years ago.
Fck, he‘s a bot!?! Right, last video he had just 2 fingers. Oh man.

Reminds me on medieval houses in Europe. This on is in Amsterdam
She is under 12! Start thinking before you shout.
And btw it’s not monitor porn but porn filter

True point.
My IT setup to get control of my daughter’s not-yet-rocketed-addiction is: screentime from Apple (that can be circumvented), seperated wifi for teens with on/off times (still they can use mobile network), blocked ip‘s for insta & tiktok at router level (still not all IPs in there), and a hacker-style tool called Firewalla to monitor and control their traffic with porn, youth filter-block ability (also in the router, but not sure how well this works at eg youtube)
For this setup you need some steps beyond standard IT knowhow. And still it’s only 95%. Some day they find how to get through the little holes.
Oh, this effort for 3-4 hrs screen time a day including podcasts and whatsapp.
Next step will be to separate devices. She wants a new phone for birthday. Then we put Spotify for the podcasts on the old phone and block everything else. The new phone for the rest with even more reduced screen time.
I just learned: In ancient times the government paid money to their citizens to get their fellowship. Only conquered countries had to pay taxes.
And in ancient times in Mesopotamia, there have been quite regular debt reset events. All private debts got null. Commercial debts still were valid.
I‘m currently reading „Debt“ by David Graeber. Interesting to read how religion, money, guilt and debt are intertwined. How we are forced into the rat race by burden us with debts - with both, moral and financial debts.
I‘m not sure if you interpret more into the words than there is. If you read the articles text thoroughly you’ll find a difference in those deads.
The dies-articles: „after phone calls“ , „after x days in car“, „days after cry for help“ and others. Those are all after some time.
The killed-articles: „in a air strike/ rocket attack“ which is immediately.
This sounds quite correct from a grammar point of view. Still, it’s sad for the kids and family.
German here. Same shit with house prices here. Unbelievable expensive. Netherlands, Denmark, Swiss, France all the same. All out of the cheap money/ interests thanks to Lehmans & broker bros.
The only country where housing is affordable is China. They built way too many apartment buildings. Entire ghost towns. People are fucked there as well though. Standard people lost a lot of money. Crazy world.
I have this one https://www.conrad.de/de/p/digitus-dn-94022-netzwerk-werkzeug-set-passend-fuer-netzwerk-spezifikationen-cat-cat-5e-cat-6-cat-7-2335586.html It’s very basic and I miss nothing. I needed those 4 tools. Had set up my network at home with flush-mounted Cat sockets, self crimped cat-cables (consider CAT 6A and S/FTP shielding) by help of YT videos. You don’t need to throw gold on those tools. Better invest in good cable and connectors. Not sure if I seriously use them again to that extend.
Edit: And check the network speed of your cables. It was quite surprising how very little tweaks had big impact on overall speed. Sometimes I didn’t even know why and crimped it anew.

May be this setup?
Sure, and the successor won’t become corrupt when owners, industrials and richs hand over some envelopes to make things faster. Two years and 8 envelopes later, he will take it as all his peers do as well.
