Kamala just Jim Halpert’d Trump
  • Exactly. At this point it can’t be about convincing undecided voters (whoever is still undecided won’t pay attention to any of this and will still be undecided). It’s more about whether or not people can be arsed to go out of their homes to vote.

    Saying this: Please vote (as long as you are not planning to vote for the convicted felon of course)

  • Harris and Trump are getting ready for Tuesday’s debate in sharply different ways
  • From what I read is that republican led states usually make it harder to vote than democratic states, but I haven’t looked further into this.

    Although maybe you technically actually are only voting for the elector in your state that then casts their vote on your behalf, I even read that there have been rare occasions where the state elector went against what their state voted for!?

    This whole process of voting in the US seems very outdated to me (I am from Europe too). I know that it is hard to fundamentally change the system as long as nothing goes completely wrong. Germany had big loopholes in the constitution during the Republic of Weimar too. Changing this was easy after the total defeat during the Second World War. I have no idea how you could get through with updating the complete political system of a more or less „functional“ country. Even less if the country is as divided as the US is at the moment

  • Harris and Trump are getting ready for Tuesday’s debate in sharply different ways
  • whether they will bother to vote for their preferred candidate or just stay home

    It’s more like vote or go to work. I really don’t get why this country doesn’t hold elections on a day where most people can participate. Actually I do get it, but I don’t get how people can still think of the USA as a democracy

  • ich iel
  • Ich hab tatsächlich mal in einem Test gelesen, dass einige Elektromotorräder lauter sind als so manches Motorrad mit Verbrenner. Gilt natürlich nicht für das Standgeräusch an dem sich die Richtlinien orientieren

  • Sounds like a dealbreaker
  • I‘m not from the US (Germany) and neither have I much experience with lactose free products. I know someone who is allergic to lactose though and when I was buying stuff for him he told me the exact brand of stuff I needed to get due to the issue I mentioned.

  • Sounds like a dealbreaker
  • One interesting thing about lactose free products is, that most aren’t lactose free. They only contain the enzymes to digest the lactose. If you are lactose intolerant this is perfectly fine, but if you’re allergic to lactose it doesn’t change anything for you

  • Most useless superhero accessory
  • Well, in the tv series his shoes start burning if he doesn’t use his specific flash shoes. So surely he needs a special bike.

    About handling you might be right, but I can’t image running at speeds faster than sound without crashing into everything either

  • Most useless superhero accessory
  • That would be a great idea. I mean, I am more than twice as fast on a bike than by foot and I can drive more than 10 times as far. Just imagine what Flash could accomplish with a bike

  • Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets
  • I totally get it, why buy one expensive thing once, when you can buy cheap stuff that will cost more in the long run? 5 times 30 surely is cheaper than 1 times 150.

    From my experience, there is just stuff where you don’t want to cheap out on. Don’t get me wrong, there is no need to buy „premium“ stuff when good stuff is about the same quality but cheaper, but buying cheap stuff, just because it is a little less than the good stuff usually never pays off for me

  • Bavaria mulls cannabis-free Oktoberfest beer party - BBC News
  • The motivation is to stoke fears in people that are against cannabis. For the conservatives like CDU and CSU party every change is bad. They even promised to illegalize weed once they are ruling again
