If you ever tried to live in Munich, you don't need a second house that's vacant. Rent is among the highest in Europe and people in the middle class pay up to 80% of their salary for rent, it gets worse in lower income brackets. The city cannot afford to have premises vacant.

Yeah, I get that. That's why patents themselves are shit. Imagine what would the world look like today if volvo didn't donate it's seat belt patent to the world?
Fuck patents. Two of the patents are pretty much used for 15+ years by different companies and are the basis for 3D-printing in general. I hate that is legal to don't give a crap about a patent until you feel someone's threatening your position. I was thinking about buying a Bambu-Labs printer. Probably gotta get it before some stupid court gives the case to Stratasys.
I've been through this recently (4 years relationship and 2 years not in a relationship. Officially friends, but in reality very much in a relationship). She was very dependent on me showing her that I'm still there for her. She started dating and I got pushed aside. Her two relationships were very short so I never figured out what was happening until her now fiance came into the picture.
The first few months it was kinda ok, he lived 35 miles away and was busy renovating a house. I tried to have her back as she was always doubting his love and motives. In the same time she was involving me more emotionally. I tried setting boundaries as were weren't a couple anymore. The safer she felt with her boyfriend, the more we thought. At one point, we slept together. I was still into her and she always pledged, that any relationship was already at an end if she cheated on someone. Of course she didn't end it and tried to manipulating me into staying quiet to my friends. Long story short: She didn't tell him and laterfelt comfortable with him as he invited her to live together in his house and she basically cut ties with me.
I told him in a letter some months later as it weighed on my conscience (he is a really nice guy and I hadn't slept with her if I had known she wouldn't break up with him. It was one of the key moral things she always preached.) I don't really know what happened after that, but I know they're getting married two years into their relationship soon.
I felt the same way as you. She is a sweet, kind and loveable person. She hasn't been diagnosed with BPD, but working in the mental health field for two years now it is obvious. She was going to therapy which seemed to help heaps, but her therapist moved and that ended that. I saw her pain everyday. I know why I (still) love her so much, but her mental health issues are also part of her and realizing her diagnosis helped me understand how I could get entangled in all of this and why I'm still emotionally invested. BPD is an disorder that draws other people into the illness. I don't blame her for what has happened. I just needed to set boundaries.
This is the only thing you can do: Set boundaries and communicate them. Don't let her step over them. But in my experience: As soon as you do, your relationship cannot work anymore. So my actual advice: Cut ties and hope, therapy helps. If she's really interested in getting better and you as a person, you paths will cross.
Most important: Don't lose track of yourself or you'll get emotionally entangled again.
The only reasonable thing is to disassemble, sanding it down and then spray painting it. Even if you get the color right, the texture of the missing rubber coating will always make it stand out.
Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn't a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.
That was one of my biggest revelations last year. Figuring out I have ADHD and that's why it's hard for me to understand people, especially in crowded and loud spaces. Sometimes I found myself simultaneously listening to music, other people's conversations and my own conversations. Makes it quite difficult sometimes.
"Push." said the 911 operator calmly.
Wait. This was exactly ytmnd. An overused sound and and a 3 sec looping gif. Ahead of it's time.
No, it's not the best we have. Solar and wind are way safer, cost less and don't produce waste.
Sure, nuclear power is safe until it isn't. Fukushima and Chernobyl are examples of that. Nuclear plants in Ukraine were at risk during Russian attacks. Even if you have a modern plant, you don't really think that under capitalism there is an incentive to care properly for them in the long run. Corners will be cut.
Besides that they produce so much waste that has to be: a) being transported b) stored somewhere
Looking at the US railroad system and how it is pushed beyond it's capacity right now and seeing how nuclear waste sites are literally rotting and contaminating everything around them I'd say it's one of the least safe energies. Especially if you have clean alternatives that don't produce waste.
These laws are only applicable in two of Germany's 16 states and only for state officials and authorities as well as schools. The other states mostly critize those states for infringing on equality rights. It just bans the use of gender related punctuations in written documents and school exams. It's not well thought out.
You can still use gender neutral terms (Lehrende instead of Lehrer*innen). It's a big deal as those states do it to cater to right-wing voters and fish them from the nazi-party AFD.
Btw Binnen-I is LehrerInnen. Other gender neutral notations are a "*", "_" or ":"
