Tariffs can also be an effective way of balancing buisness advantages. An example: Germany has quite high standards in its farming sector. This applys to what pesticides you are allowed to use, how much fertiliser you can use, what conditions animals have to live in and so on. Everything that you have to do to comply with these rules costs money, so in order to still make a profit you need to charge quite high prices. If you then compare these with the almost non existent standards of, as example Brazil, you quickly realise, that they are capable of producing goods much cheaper (who could have guessed, that its cheaper if you can just imassively increase your land by land grabbing, giving a shit on everything and using the most efficient, but very cruel, ways to feed and hold your livestock). Due to this, beef that gets imported into Germany from Brazil, thanks to Mercosur without any tariffs, will be magnitudes cheaper than locally made. This kills your local farming sector and also does massive damage to Brazil’s citizen and enviroment (its a massive brainfuck how farming works there). If you want to counteract this you could charge tariffs, so that the consumer starts preferring locally made products, because they are cheaper. This also is an incentive for Brazil to better regulate its farming industry.

that’s how all communism ends up lol.

You do know, that China is a capitalistic country labeling themselves as communist?

Apart from that you’re right.

That made me laugh way to hard.

The devices need to be running at the same time, which isn’t that much of a problem, if you e. G. only want to sync your PC to your mobile.

Nextcloud is, as the name says, a dedicated server used as a cloud. Syncthing only syncronises fders between devices. You dont need a dedicated server for this that stores all the data.

No matter who you ask, it still seems like everyone fucking hates it. I never heard a single good word about teams and still its one of the most widely used conference softwares.

Bandcamp is great. Especially the genres I like to listen too are usually on there. Only minor inconvenience is, that the mobile app doesn’t allow you to download the tracks in a way, so you can play them in another music player.

Everything before that and almost everything after that.

The only exception i know is fermenting biomass to methane and burning it.

I dont know where I heard this story but it was something like the following:

In a company a very valuable machine breaks and becomes inoperable, so they call the support. They send a mechanic to fix the machine. The mechanic arrives inspects the machine, opens it, presses a button and it works as if nothing happened. The manager then asks why he is paying the mechanic just to press a button. The mechanic answers “you aren’t paying me for pressing the button, but for knowing which button to press”.

I am still baffled by these idiots after I learned how 5g works. It isn’t just frequencies increases (I could see why someone might be sceptical about this one). The main difference is simply using another protocol which allows to send more bits with a single signal.

Schwanzus Longus (this is the German Version)

Its literally bash

Ahhhhh, now I get it. Thanks for the clarification.

“The word is CELEBRATE!” sobs the old monk.

I don’t get the punchline.

Oh, so youre already coming near the end. The last two books are fucking great. They are absolutely fantastic.

That’s wild

You also have to remember: the customer is usually stupid as fuck and doesn’t know anything, so that sign is straight up lying.

That was a very diplomatic response to some stupid asshole like this.

The fuck? I understand locking up stuff like booze, since that shit do be quite expensive, but fucking underwear?
