I’m the same. I use Google maybe 1-2 times a year and only after exhausting my search terms in DDG, most of the time Google also can’t find what I’m looking for.

Countries have different fiscal years! In New Zealand for example, the new fiscal year begins in April, and in Australia it begins in July.

Yours is clearer, but the example is journalistic style, the same way sometimes headlines come across unclear or confusing.

It’s more likely than you think!

Clearly sarcasm because of how Spain has condemned Israel’s treatment of the flotilla

Is there anything interesting in the paywalled part?

Because of the local content law in radio and television, we got Celion Dion and Bieber and Drake.

Is this a selling point or…?

lol I literally just saw these calendars today in some market stalls in Rome

I’ve got a similar mantra - “it’s not hard, I just have to do it”. And then when it’s done I follow up with a “see, not hard, just had to actually do it”

Oh it wasn’t a criticism, I just thought it was a funny image, someone holding a live mouse and being really serious about it.

When an ordinary person holds a mouse long enough, and takes it seriously enough?

I was expecting this sentence to be a “bird in the hand” type metaphor.

It looks like bikes are parked between the first & second gardens, there might even be more further back!

I love/hate that we even have to ask.

That’s Austrians for you, straightforward and pragmatic.

Typical Americans, always take, take, take

That’s to Ceres, Mars is only 9 months, so how do we get from 9 months to 23k hours?

Interesting read, this part caught my eye:

Launching a crewed spacecraft to Mars might require 2 to 4 megawatts of power, meaning multiple MPD thrusters operating for more than 23,000 hours. This presents a challenge as the hardware operates at high temperatures, and the team needs to prove that the thruster’s components can withstand the heat for multiple hours during upcoming tests.

Would the thrusters really run the full 23k hours? That’s just shy of 960 days, surely once you reach a certain speed you wouldn’t need to run them continuously at full power.

“I feel no ill will, it’s great, there’s cohesion,” he said of US-German ties. “But it’s not fair that we keep boosting your economy so y’all can make money off us.”

This is such a fucked point of view. What does he expect? That everywhere he spends money should be a US business? That all transactions should be in USD? That all sales taxes should go to the US government? Get fucked. He’s here on German soil using German taxpayer funded infrastructure. My all means, fuck the fuck off back to your shithole country. Once all the Americans are gone I would gladly move in if the lack of demand meant lower rent/property prices.

Ehh I’ve used both the DB and ÖBB websites and apps, I find DB more intuitive, especially for return tickets, which are what I generally want to buy. Good tip for the flex ticket though.

No, I’d pay 100€ to take the ICE from hbf to hbf. And that’s if I somehow need to buy a ticket for a train same day, cheaper if done in advance.
