Just come visit me in Switzerland in a couple weeks

Whenever the headline says a "Nobel-Prize winning economist" is weighing in on a topic that you don’t remember any economist winning the Nobel Prize for or really any economist who has won one ever doing serious research on that topic at all it’s always *always* Daron Acemoglu

That‘s the goal at least…

Which means the interest will be way higher! Just like with our AAA-rated Eurobonds priced at BBB interest rates because the repayment plan is sketchy as heck (hope that years later countries will voluntarily cough up the money). For some reason the market don‘t like these ploys - look at DB-bonds

I had a debate on here with a poster who said we shouldn’t down Russian incursions because our interceptors might fall down on us if they miss. When I pointed out that we can easily mitigate this they countered it would still be really noisy and might disrupt sleep… German debate is something else

The quality of propaganda pics made by German DoD has improved remarkably with the recent leadership changes. More weapons systems, more elaborate staging, cooler poses…

Also, finally a German general who seems to still hit the gym and doesn’t look like he smells of day-old beef stew and accounting

BUT Germany‘s laws on changing your name absolutely suck (basically impossible). Meaning you can only inherit a name with a former title like "Prinz" or "Graf" or a "von …", which became parts of the family name with the abolition of the aristocracy. So their titles are still protected as names…

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

Somehow they are taking "Spill the Tea" too literally

Yes, I know exactly where this is. I‘m from these streets ;-)

Them: Just follow the signs.
Bochumers: Never. Not in a million years. It’s gonna be a no on principle.

These are the people amongst whom I grew up and it shows.
