Or they’re confident enough in their parenting that they can allow their daughter to come to her own conclusions about this situation after a while.

Is your ISP from a deep red US state? It loads fine for me.

she doesn’t want to because she knows it will be a difficult conversation.

That’s a lot of assuming. If we argue in her favor, then we might assume that her parents might not be the most receptive. This is a sensible assumption on her part. Any parent whose daughter is suddenly missing will be agitated. This state of mind is not conducive to a rational conversation.

So her reaction makes sense: She asks her brother whom she views as a good bearer of news to just tell their parents that she is fine, so they don’t go crazy. After they’ve calmed down, she intends to explain herself.

I think this is extraordinarily good thinking. Calling her parents immediately with the news that she’s gone will just end in a shouting contest. Not telling them at all is an undue burden on them and might have undesirable consequences like involving the police. This girl seems to do her best to have a calm talk. That’s way more than I’ve come to expect from adults.

Muss es etwas geben, was einem jederzeit und immer Freude macht, wo man immer hin will, sobald man nur kann?

Reicht es nicht, wenn das Leben in Ordnung ist und nichts Schlimmes passiert und ab und zu mal was Lustiges auf Feddit passiert?

Ich finde dieses „Du hast keine Passion, deshalb bist du schlecht” Bashing nicht hilfreich.

She said she’d talk to them afterwards. The way I read it she just wants her parents to not panic because their daughter is gone. This seems reasonable to me.

The alkali metals get more strongly reactive the higher their atomic number.

I thought it was the other way around. Thanks for correcting me.

You’d need multiple people. Or a very quick upload schedule.

Why is it safer to lick Lithium than Caesium?

Radon is a gas. I’d like to see you lick that. Same for the halogens, the noble gases, nitrogen, oxygen hydrogen and probably some I forgot.

The Greens in Germany were new in the 1980s. They focused on one thing (environmental protection) while still having opinions on everything else.

They were especially popular after the Fukushima reactor incident and when Fridays for Future took off. Otherwise, they suffer from a more right/conservative temperament in the population (currently due to immigration politics).

Distance travelled is not the only metric by which you can judge a route. Others include:

• Traffic
• Traffic lights or other stops, since it’s nicer to drive uninterrupted.
• What turns you need to make (2 left turns over 6 lanes of traffic? Pass)
• Familiarity
• Road condition
• The view

1. Was Birte sagt, ab „Sie sind jetzt Regierung“.
2. Nein

The way I see it this applies to all ESTAs, not just new ones. But this is not explicitly mentioned. I guess some US gubernatorial site has more info in English.

It’s interesting to read what our government has to say about traveling abroad. In this case this seems to be more of a misalignment of forms.

In Germany, people can choose between 3 genders (M/F/X), while the ESTA form only allows M and F, and forces people to use their gender assigned at birth [2]:

Aufgrund einer Executive Order vom 20. Januar 2025 müssen Einreisende in die USA in Zukunft bei ESTA- oder Visumanträgen entweder das Geschlecht „männlich“ oder „weiblich“ angeben; relevant ist hierbei der Geschlechtseintrag der antragstellenden Person zum Zeitpunkt der Geburt.

Due to an executive order dated January 20, 2025, travellers visiting the USA must use the ‘male’ or ‘female’ gender when filling out ESTA visa forms; use the person’s gender assigned at birth. (my translation)

Gun and munitions purchases have increased significantly recently. [1]

Insurance prevents people from hoarding money that they would need in case of a (personal) disaster to rebuild/repair/re-purchase their losses. If you know insurance will cover your house if it ever burns down, you spend the money, which helps the economy.

Turns out most people just want a functioning operating system and don’t need a 4d-chess mosaic of self-expression.

It’s way too slow for what it does. IRC clients from 20 years ago were able to switch between chats instantly. The user status (online, offline, etc.) is so inaccurate it might as well be random.
