I’m a bit confused by this. When I bought a used car in Melbourne around 6 years ago I had to get a roadworthy check done I in order to get it registered. So maybe the law has changed since you bought yours?

It also says you need one if you buy a used vehicle:

You’ll need a roadworthy certificate (RWC or ‘roadworthy’) when selling a car, re-registering it, or clearing some defect notices.

I remember it beeing quite a pain, too. I bought the car and had to register it online (temporal for 24 h) to move it home. Cost me 50 AUD to do so. Then I had to move it to the roadworthy test a couple km of days later = another 50 AUD. But my battery was dead and I couldn’t move it. So 50 AUD wasted. Didn’t get them back, since you need to cancel a registion 24 hours in advance. Second time and another 50 AUD later I drove it to the roadworthy ckeck. Needed to change some minor stuff, took them a couple of days. The mechanic tooed my vehicle to my home so I didn’t have to pay another 50 AUD to move it back once he was done. But I had to pay another 50 AUD to move it to the registration place.

So I payed 200 AUD on top just to get the bloody thing registerd. On a car that I payed 300 bucks for. Fucking moneysucking fuckers.

So these are people living in Canada that are imprisoned at the border to the US, even tough they have no intention of entering?

Like, wtf?!

Not American. What border is this? Are they accidentally attempting to leave the US for Canada due to a wrong turn and are snatched up? Can’t they turn around before they reach the border?

Yeah, we didn’t celebrate but we were very aware of each month passing in the first year of our children. Especially since it is a time where they develop very fast. A five month old baby is very different to a eight month old baby. The first year felt like reinventing the whole family routines every couple of weeks.

So, yeah. There are things to make fun of and ridicule about the Trumps, but beeing happy that a person you love and have a conection to is getting older and changing is not one of them for me. Regardless of who is doing it.

How are you quantifying the amount of each species in the past? Or is this just wish-fulfillment hogwash?

For example by looking at historical fishing records. One paper that does this back into the 1750s across mulpile regions and species is this one:

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmarsys.2008.12.011

It is behind a pay wall, but I’ll quote the methods here:

2. Materials and method

2.1. The pre-industrialized period When it comes to written testimonies of pre-industrial fishing activity, the time frame is in most cases limited to a few hundred years. The starting point of the industrial period is usually considered to be the second half of the 19th century in the major European and North American fisheries. The industrialization of fisheries is characterized by a number of technological changes in fishing techniques, which all contributed to more efficient fishing operations. In the 1860s machine made cotton nets gradually replaced the old heavier hemp nets, and in the following decades steam propulsion and, from the turn of the 20th century, motor propulsion gave extra trawling power and the ability to move independently of prevailing winds. In principal then, historical evidence can be found as far back in time as fishing has taken place. However, the demands for available, consistent and reliable historical data limit the time frame consider-ably. Another limitation is that the historical datasets need to cover a number of years in order to be suitable for testing for climate signals. Therefore, the following discussion of historical data only includes datasets, which span more than c. 50 years.

2.2. Written documents With regard to written documents the oldest known data for fishing are from Europe. During the course of the 14th–16th centuries writing on paper became increasingly common in Europe. This is also the time when the bureaucracy of the emerging modern state bureaucracy as well as larger private enterprises gradually became established. These developments ensured two aspects of fisheries record keeping. First of all, the fiscal interest of the modern state ensured an interest in accurate numbers. Secondly, state interest often lead to an institutionalization of fisheries regulations, whereby a steady, recurring and often quite uniform annual collection took place. In line with this, ancient record keeping deals exclusively with commercially important species. Cod, herring, anchovy, sardine, salmon, various flatfish and tuna therefore are the most prominent in this type of historical material. Thus, along with a bias towards European and Atlantic fisheries, there is an inherent bias in terms of which species feature in historical material. During the last decade several large scale projects have been under way trying to recover archival material for reconstructing historical fish stocks, and this review stands on the shoulders of these efforts, which are producing online free access databases. The History of Marine Animal Populations project of the Census of Marine Life programme (2000–2010) is an umbrella for the research of c. 100 historians, archaeologists and marine scientists trying to assess what lived in the oceans before modern times (http://www/. hmapcoml.org/). Within the INCOFISH Specific Targeted Research Project of the European Community (2005–2008) the recovery of time series for historical fisheries is a means to shift the baseline of understandings of ecosystem functioning (http://www.hull.ac.uk/ incofish/index.htm). The Sea Around Us Project of the University of British Columbia is mainly concerned with fisheries developments since 1950, but also has strong components stretching back hundreds of years (http://www.seaaroundus.org/).

2.3. Long-term environmental time series Comparing long-term changes in fish populations with environ-mental variability is strongly aided by the existence of equally long time series of environmental variability. Records of temperature, wind, air pressure and similar parameters for environmental variability and changes rarely exist for longer than c. 100–200 years back in time. Assessing historical climate reconstructions would be a topic for a paper in its own right, but it should be mentioned that much effort is currently being put into such reconstructions, and the following portals hold valuable collections of such time series: CLIVAR, Climate variability and Predictability (http://www.clivar/. org/). KNMI, The Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute, among other resources, provides access to the global CLIWOC project trying to reconstruct the global weather from 1750–1850 (http://climexp.knmi/. nl/). The NOAA Satellite and Information Service is hosting a large amount of temperature proxies (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/ data.html), while datasets from Greenland ice cores are available from the University of Copenhagen, (http://www.glaciology.gfy.ku.dk/). Finally, a large collection of dataset can be extracted from NASA at (http://gcmd.nasa.gov/index.html). A very large project currently in progress is Millenium, which has as its main goal to reconstruct the climate variability in Europe during the last 1000 years to see whether changes in the last one hundred years are unique in scale (http:// geography.swan.ac.uk/millennium/index.htm).

P.s: Is there good way to share the whole pdf?

I was with you in the first half. But shouldn’t there be some out of game communication between “This is not the direction we agreed upon beforehand” and “I will kill your character as punishment”?

In my country day care is run by the state, but since the state refuses to invest money into it we have exactly the same problems. Every single daycare is undersfaffed and overworked. Teachers have to operate a such a high level of stress that the illness rage is almost double the national average, which in turn leads go even more stress.

My daycare had about 4 weeks with full staffing over the last year. It’s absurd, but this is what happens if nobody is willing to invest the resources necessary. So many paretsns havs to reduce their work hours or take a year of two of parenting time of. Whole the state at the same time is complaining about a shortage of qualified workers.

Love my kids, love my wife. Feel useful at work. Getting rdy for the final stretch of my undergrad. Life is a grind atm and I don’t have a lot of free time, but I wouldn’t swap it for anything else.

Na, it’s been like this in Trump 1. It’s because they realy do not give a fuck about humans, even the ones on their side. They are just pawns to be used and disregarded at will.

I am a dad to one year old twins and I feel this comment in my bones.

Glückwunsch und Willkommen :-)

It was to protect the ancient secrets of reiki from intrusion.

Porridge has been around since roman times.

Or are chearing it on. When they say “I think Trump is doing good but the Tariffs are Bullshit” this kind of thing is part of the doing good.

Oh… So that’s what they mean when they say the can’t bring him back. It’s been there, out in the open, all this time.

Also reminds me about how PF1es Kingmaker handeles armies.

Erst mal davon auszugehen, dass ich mir das ausgedacht habe ist jetzt aber auch nicht gerade die feine Art.

Habe ich nämlich nicht. Bin ich Experte auf dem Gebiet? Auch nicht. Ich habe nur über die Jahre ein paar Artikel gelesen, die den Verdacht nahelegen.

Zum Beispiel:

Dass viele kleinere Läden es mit der Pflicht zur Belegerstellung nicht so genau nehmen, habe einen Grund, sagt Florian Köbler, Chef der Deutschen Steuergewerkschaft (DSTG): “Der Verdacht lautet ganz klar: Steuerhinterziehung.” Dass Kunden in der Regel keinen Bon erhielten, sei nur die Spitze des Eisbergs.

Wo nicht ordnungsgemäß abgerechnet und verbucht werde, herrsche eine illegale Schattenwirtschaft - quasi in aller Öffentlichkeit beim Bäcker oder Kiosk in der Nachbarschaft. Wenn die Finanzämter jemanden beim Betrug erwischten - was selten genug der Fall sei -, zeige sich eine Faustregel, nach der häufig vorgegangen werde. “Zwei Drittel legal, ein Drittel Cash und ohne Steuern”, fasst Köbler die Erkenntnisse zusammen.

Tagesschau

Oder dieser hier:

“Bargeld ist das Bezahlmittel, mit dem am leichtesten betrogen werden kann”, sagt Florian Köbler, Bundesvorsitzender der Deutschen Steuergewerkschaft – das ist die Gewerkschaft der Finanzverwaltungen. “Es lädt regelrecht zum Betrug ein.” Als Beispiel nennt Köbler die sogenannte offene Ladenkasse: Viele Würstchenbuden oder Weihnachtsmarktstände rechnen am Ende des Tages alle Einnahmen zusammen und tragen sie in ein Kassenbuch ein. Auch Restaurants dürfen nach diesem Prinzip arbeiten. So weit, so legal und wunderbar unbürokratisch. Nur: Ob vor Kassenabschluss ein paar Scheine beiseitegelegt werden, merkt niemand. Dann verbucht der Gastronom weniger Einnahmen – und zahlt dementsprechend weniger Steuern.

Zeit Plus (Archivierte Version ohne Bezahlschranke)

Und ja, beide Artikel zitieren die selbe Person, ich weiß.

Wenn du, außer mir Populismus zu unterstellen, noch ein Argument oder gar, Gott bewahre, eine Quelle einwerfen willst, bin ich offen dafür meine Meinung nochmal zu überdenken.

Und so ganz nebenbei, abschaffen sollte man Bargeld meiner Meinung nach nicht. Es gibt Menschen, die einfach gerne mit Bargeld hantieren und das ist ja auch voll okay. Aber ich persönlich benutze kein Bargeld mehr, seit guten 5 oder 6 Jahren. Ich würde mich freuen wenn einfach alle Läden beide Optionen anbieten würden. Aus dem ganz schnöden, egoistischen, Grund, dass ich dann auch wieder bei allen Läden einkaufen kann :-).

Geschäfte die nur Bargeld annehmen, tun das eigentlich immer aus sehr guten Gründen

Und einer dieser Gründe ist halt häufig Steuerhinterziehung.

Sounds like fun, yeah. How did you approach that mechanically? Asking for a group of friends ;-)
