About OTTO prices and shipping: they do have a program similar to Amazon Prime where you pay 10€ a year and all orders that are shipped by OTTO directly (marketplace items not included, just like with Amazon) are shipped for free. The fun/weird thing is that for orders you collect points which you can use for a discount later and by paying the 10€ for one year of free shipping you get points that equal a 10€ which you can immediately use for your first order, so in a way free shipping is indeed completely free.

Not an expert but it looks like it very much detonated in the end.

Probably too easy to confuse with mm.

Interestingly megaton is rather common unit but not teragram.

BSW is politically 99% aligned with the "confirmed" Nazi party AfD, the only difference is that Wagenknecht hasn't publicly defended Hitler yet (AFAIK).

Why not double it now to put Ukraine in a better position in negotiations?

I don't want to discourage anyone from helping OSM using StreetComplete or other apps, but you should be aware that this is an open source project and your edits are public. If you walk around in your neighborhood and contribute opening times or whatever, those edits can be seen on a map along with your username and can in many cases be used to narrow down the neighborhood you live in, depending on your behavior. So if you're concerned about privacy, make sure you use a random generic username that you don't use anywhere else when signing up, so people googling your username from social media for example can't locate you just based on that name.

Companies tend to outsource jobs to cheaper countries, so unless you got some super special rare skills that can't be found anywhere in Europe or you want to compete with Indians for a crap hotline job, I'm afraid you''re out of luck. Also as far as I know (this might be outdated information though) as an US citizen you're required to pay income tax in the US no matter where in there world you're working, meaning you'd be paying income tax twice, in the EU and the US.

Babbel is pretty good and made in Germany. There's no free/ad-financed version though, only a free trial period before you gotta pay. There's not a whole lot of gamification but it has a streak mechanism like Duolingo which is enough to keep me practicing daily.

Now that's a weird coincidence, I only learned about Tony's chocolate a few days ago cause there was a big product recall poster in my local supermarket and it kinda stuck in my mind cause I was wondering how TF do stones end up in chocolate. :D

Philipson, it's right there in the headline.

So by their logic Moscow highrise buildings are legitimate military targets now?

 

Quick and incomplete summary: In recent years Lidl invested heavily in cyber security and cloud computing, first for their own independent infrastructure, but they're already selling their security and cloud services to other big companies. The video makes the point that eventually they could become a proper competition for Amazon AWS and other services.
