Yeah, I’ve helped others with brake jobs, and it’s no fun. That and my experience with handling asbestos claims are also probably pretty big factors

I’m not that into or familiar with cars, but I can do what I consider the basics: replacing lightbulbs/wipers, changing oil, changing tires, jumping/replacing a battery, etc. I moved to a new country with a different language, where very few people do their own auto work.

I’m a woman who doesn’t know any of the vernacular for mechanical issues, and so they just completely ignore me. My husband seems like he might be into cars, but he was astonished when I changed his headlight for him while we were dating. Now we just go together. They only talk to him, but I make the decisions (he used to pay €200 for the headlight replacement, which he considers normal and which I find profoundly overpriced- I won’t do my own brakes, because I don’t want my last thought to be about how I shouldn’t have done my own brakes, but it’s very easy to figure out if you did the light right).

Oh, that’s some old school antisemitism :(

Not your comments, others on the post.

A) that’s what editors are for. Journalists need to be persistent, observant, and fearless, not to know every case of English compound words being joined together or not.

B) Only one of those is a mistake, the other is just language being language. They could say maxing (or even maximizing), but that won’t let the reader find more information as easily, so it would be worse journalism.

His body was found at the bottom of a lake, though. It could be something other than drowning or foul play, but that’s unlikely.

Though I imagine his body would not have reacted well to it long term, either.

How many billionaires you know who got arrested for holding up a 7/11? Checkmate atheists

Is what you come up with when you lied to someone that you had a bank and then they asked you the name.

I don’t read this as defending it, just explaining the German government’s view of antisemitism.

I’ll go further and note that this broad definition adopted by the government led to multiple instances of Jews being arrested for antisemitism for peacefully protesting the apartheid. I’m not defending the law at all, just lamenting that it’s sadly not new, as far as I can tell.

So I guess I also want to know if anything changed or if they just wanted to pat themselves on the back for formally codifying it.

Well, yes. This affects the whole world though.

Punishing public speakerphone users and getting trains that work? He’d win in Germany.

Not just for chipmakers, but for mris

So a chain.

I’m sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine and it’s actively hampering communication. Evidence is not proof. This woman’s statement is evidence, as is her email chain later with her therapist. Platner’s denial is also evidence. Neither is proof.

The woman’s DNA is not involved. Women are born with all the eggs they’ll ever have. By the time a girl enters puberty, her eggs have already degraded to a degree before it was even possible to use them, because that’s just how things work. That doesn’t mean she’s somehow past her prime before puberty even starts.

You won’t be considered geriatric for about forty years. You might have a geriatric pregnancy, but that’s just the terminology. Like how an eighty year old can have juvenile diabetes, it doesn’t mean they’re a juvenile.

You probably haven’t yet reached your mental prime yet, but yes, you might be at a disadvantage sprinting against a 22 year old at the same activity level. That’s only really relevant at the highest levels of athletics though, and you can still be healthier than you were in your twenties.

I’m older than you are, and my sisters are more than a decade older than you are and none of us is experiencing this. None of our doctors (in three very different areas) prepared us for this. If it were normal, even if we didn’t personally experience it, wouldn’t our doctors warn us about it? All of the women in this thread are telling you that they didn’t have anything like this, isn’t that something to consider?

You might not have anything that is showing up on a test you’ve had done so far, but isn’t it worth looking further into whether you could have normal energy levels?

Even if they don’t find anything wrong, making your doctor understand that you’re not experiencing a normal level of fatigue might let them help you. I had a carpool buddy with idiopathic narcolepsy, which just means they don’t know what causes it. He was prescribed stimulants and worked with his doctor to figure out lifestyle adjustments that helped (like carpooling, so he could drive while alert in the morning, but didn’t endanger himself in the afternoon. He’s the only person I’ve ever seen be so tired that he sounded drunk while sober after a full night of sleep.

It certainly is goua(u)che

I don’t think that one lands in text

Instead of 52, it should have been 117, for second breakfasts

Desperately, but not from a gross human

It doesn’t deserve a firing, and I’m very glad they sided with the manager, especially one protecting his employees from an abusive customer. How far do you have to push your mechanic for them to start making assertions about your character?

Incredibly annoying that the company also paid the customer off, but it’s good they see there are consequences for insisting your staff take abuse.

Wait, what? I’m sorry, I’m not British. Was this lady an anti-gay, pro trans politician or was the labor mp just a bigot who thought trans people deserved no rights?
