Yeah I simplified it a bit cause I didn't want to open a can of dinosaurs.

They're separate biological classes.
So they're about as far apart as you are from a reptile, bird or fish.

No. Insects have 6 legs, spiders have 8.

The vast majority of people fleeing from war-torn countries today do not flee to Europe. They flee to safer areas within their own countries, then to neighboring countries, then to other culturally similar countries. The number of people who try to make it all the way to Europe and then succeed pales in comparison.
The narrative that there's a huge migration wave from unstable third world countries to Europe is a lie perpetuated by the right wing.

I replaced my 3-beers-a-day habit with a new bicycle-30-miles-a-day habit.
Still kind of an addiction, but one I can live and raise a son with.

I set up a password manager for all of my online accounts, on Linux:

  • create entry in password manager
  • copy password with crtl+c
  • click on "change password" in online account
  • enter old password
  • paste new password in using middle-click
  • repeat for every single account I had
  • shut down PC after a job well done

Why this was dumb:
Linux has two separate clipboards.
One for ctrl+c/v and another one for mouse-select/middle-click.
I had copied from the password manager using one clipboard, but pasted whatever was in the other clipboard at that moment as new password for all my accounts.
The reboot of course emptied both clipboards

Actually, Walmart's "corporate culture" violated German labor laws. And they couldn't compete with the German chains who were already established either.

I don't know what it means, but I think it's amaizeng.

That sounds like actual hell.
