Okay, I don't agree with what you said at all. But for argument's sake, how do you justify that they arbitrarily can raise a fine to a substantial prison sentence? That doesn't even make sense, not even by your logic. You just said what you think is just, two months of his wage.

So what did he do between insulting somebody and appealing in court that was so bad? Appealing in the first place?

I read a couple of answers here, but I thought I'd give my 2 cents anyway. I mostly agree with the others that said it's not a big deal and seems to be a principle of hers.

I saw that you're not from the US. In Germany, there's an unwritten rule that you never bring any kind of food or beverage to a restaurant. We have other fun stuff like most restaurants not giving out free water or charging you for using the toilet if you haven't bought anything.

I could see her being upset with you if you drank your own water and ate your own food in the restaurant. But, again, that's only from my German point of view.

I'm visiting other companies for work every now and then.

If they are in a fancy new steel-and-concrete office building with open space offices, chances are that cell reception is very bad. I once was in an office where I'm certain they had installed cell blockers on the toilets.

Also das ist Qualität!

Ja, kann man so klein reden. Aber meine Herren, wenn ich in meiner eigenen Wohnung überfallen und zusammengeschlagen werde und dann auch noch meine Frau oder Freundin attackiert wird... Ich will hoffen, dass er ein hohes Strafmaß bekommt. Wird sicherlich nicht so hoch ausfallen, wie ich mir das wünsche. Der kann eigentlich für länger weg, oder braucht den noch jemand draußen?

I think you could actually buy that, but is wasn't spring loaded.

Isn't that literally that Tesla's been doing with their Ludicrous mode? I guess with them, it's a one-time fee.

Ich habe es fünf Jahre gemacht und es waren immer plus minus 20 Euro. Ich mache es jetzt nicht mehr :)

Nah, those phosphor strips of that screenshot on the left are plenty coarse to be achievable with a consumer grade CRT. Throw in the fact that European sets pretty much all had RGB and it's pretty realistic. Although most of us only heard about RGB cables with the advent of chipped PS1s and pirated NTSC discs (they oftentimes only displayed in black and white and RGB cables were the widely known fix for that).

EDIT oh by the way, the community CRTgaming also made it over here to Lemmy :-) I'll have to post some content there...

This was a super cool show back in the day, but watching it now, I can't help but notice the low frames of animation. It looks very choppy, unfortunately.

Voyager is, by far, the best lemmy experience I've tried. Hiding posts is a godsend. And they did all this as a web app?? Impressive!

I briefly looked into this, but then reddit shit the bed :-)

Can you be a little more specific? I'm in Europe. Who do I have to pay to get access to a sweet server? I'm only watching English content.

Thanks!
