What’s your opinion on used ID4s from 2021ish? Used ones are surprisingly cheap to get and I’m a little unsure why that is

You can’t just build a hotel in a residential area, that usually goes against zoning laws which Airbnb circumvents

Der Anführer der weltweit größten religiösen Institution mit 1.4 Mrd Anhängern ist gestorben und der Nachfolger könnte die Institution weitreichende prägen zurück in Richtung Ultrakonservativismus oder Richtung Liberalisierung. Die katholische Kirche steht vor einer Richtungsentscheidung mit weitreichenden Folgen. Mag dich persönlich nicht interessieren, aber es ist objektiv wichtig.

Why’s the disc not flat? Did some conspiracy nut draw this?

No, they didn’t. It was a toss up in all polls right till the end with a slight tendency towards Trump. The polls were pretty much on the nose

The shadows are on the move. The question is not how do we stop them, the question is what do we want?

Dann würd’s uns noch viel härter treffen

Americans eating like they have free healthcare

Now, that’s important information!

I didn’t downvote you and also wouldn’t, but I get where the down vote is coming from, as your comment adds nothing to the discussion. Which was the original reason for having down votes in the first place, wasn’t it? It’s like… who gives a shit? I also wouldn’t know whether the abomination pictured is newer than 2010 but then again, who cares? Whether Stellantis brands this outhouse on wheels RAM or Dodge RAM or Penisenlarger 3000 doesn’t really matter.

A VW transporter can carry 800kg, a Mercedes Sprinter up to 1.5t and their lengths are not absolutely absurd:

(Pictured is the VW but Mercedes is roughly the same length)

The only thing left then is the towing weight, that’s limited to 2 tons for the Volkswagen, same for the Mercedes Sprinter. But I’d assume that usually people towing more than that in Europe would go for a semi truck anyway.

What are people in the US towing that weighs that much regularly?

It’s not written by Götz von Berlichingen but by Goethe about Götz von Berlichingen

Mich ergeben! Auf Gnad und Ungnad! Mit wem redet Ihr! Bin ich ein Räuber! Sag deinem Hauptmann: Vor Ihro Kaiserliche Majestät hab ich, wie immer, schuldigen Respekt. Er aber, sag’s ihm, er kann mich im Arsch lecken!

— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand, act 3, Goethe’s Werke, vol. 8 (1889), p. 109

It can be translated as:

Me, surrender! At mercy! With whom do you speak? Am I a robber! Tell your captain that for His Imperial Majesty, I have, as always, due respect. But he, tell him that, he can lick me in the arse!

Ah, there it is: the one joke Americans are able to make when talking about Germany.

Thanks for fulfilling the quota, I was worried Nazis won’t be mentioned once. Thank you for your service 🫡

If you use LinkedIn to apply, simple tip: don’t. The filter is usually “remove anyone applying through LinkedIn”

I don’t think the cover letter is always useless. It often shows, whether the applicant understood the role correctly and how their skills fit into the requirements. The motivational blabla of course is just annoying for everyone involved.

If the company is that incompetent, I’d only wanted to work there if I’m really desperate. I’d hope it never comes to this.

Might be different where you live or in your sector, but no competent company in Germany would go with AI summaries. The chance that the AI misses a statement that the applicant might be disabled and could sue for discrimination is too high.

Also, we have to open CVs in the browser within the hiring application, download is not allowed for data security reasons. The renderer for Word files is definitely not good enough to guarantee that the files render correctly.

Personally, we’re looking for highly skilled people in a specialized field, I’d never trust an AI summary, but we’re also not being swarmed by applicants. If the company looks for a barista, your approach might be better. But proofing computer literacy is not really necessary then anyway.

I would question the applicant’s computer literacy if they send me their CV as anything other than pdf. Basically never seen that though

I will miss Robert Habeck 💔 Whoever will follow him in this position will be so much worse…
