Safe driving is conscious, fluid driving. If safe driving were just slow driving, we’d best all be going 30km/h everywhere.

I have marked all homes that belong to one street in one color. The address is Town, Road, House number. So, Hünsborn, Steimelstraße 32, for example.

You would not thrive in one of our small towns.

Yep. 95% of firefighters in Germany are volunteers, so regular training is necessary, except for bigger cities there are no “professionals” that turn up if things get out of hand. There’s just people with normal jobs that drop everything when the pager goes off and we provide everything from cutting people out of cars to containing chemical spills and fighting forest fires.

The right soup at the right time: Very.

Got to play with the water thrower on a TLF in less than ideal weather conditions. Got a nice picture out of it though and hot soup later, so all was fine.

Have you ever held a dying person? You know when it’s over.

Well, based on extended measurements: He is.

What they have is already done developing and they are flush in cash. A company that creates an ERP for a specialized industry does not care, unless a huge chunk of their customers demand a change all at once AND are ready to pay for it. I mean, I understand the idealism but this is just one of those “if everybody just…” situations that, imho, holds back open source solutions because their defendants look a bit excentric from established businesses’ points of view.

I’m reading all these comments and I guess no one here works outside of academia or 100% IT companies.

Reality out there is, that O365 is so deeply integrated with other business related software, that it’s never going away. My company uses an ERP system that has maybe 200 customers worldwide. It is highly specialized for what we do. There is zero financial incentive for the manufacturer to support any other ecosystem. So they won’t.

Also the development department lets you borrow the current new generation prototype if you want and suddenly it’s all current tech.

We said that a few times, first it was the harddisk factories flooded in Thailand IIRC, then it was GPUs for crypto, now it’s this shit. Not much bursting, more like a chain of bubbles.

That sounds easily avoidable.

Plus A/T tires with no bite on ice. Those huge blocky chunks of rubber may be good in mud, on ice you need lamella.

“All the cars have 4WD braking.”

Would take a long time to get a result though.

More like, duplicating.
