No. Minimum by law in Germany is 20 days paid vacation and depending on the employer you get additional days.

All the Japanese language resources for a lifetime you need and then some more for lessons if you want.

  • Wanikani and Bunpro might be about 300€ together for a lifetime.
  • A few grammar books with extra exercises, like Genki, would be less than 200€ I think.
  • Writing supplies, a computer, Internet access etc is assumed.
  • 500€ Could likely get private tutoring for quite a few lessons I think. You may also want to look at courses by the nearby university or language school, or get additional support resources.

Japanese learning resources are really amazing nowadays. Tons of good free content too, like articles on grammar or YouTube Videos by people explaining stuff. If you cut Wanikani and Bunpro and go with Anki (FOSS) instead for SRS, you can go really cheap.

That is, the price you pay for learning the Japanese language is also that it takes a fuck ton of time to get anywhere. But then again, you understand Japanese after that, how cool is that??

To explain it quickly: You know Heteronormativity, the fact that many people are hetero and assume others are too. This is a similar normativity. Many people (depends on where you live yadda yadda) always drive everywhere and never consider a world where cars are not their only/primary way to get around. They will fail to imagine cities where cars are not as important or common, because they associate transport=car. This is harmful, because cars are in fact very inefficient for most tasks and have pretty bad side effects such as taking tons of valuable space in a city or noise or pollution.

Was in Berlin last week and it was like an island of transit infrastructure in the sea of delayed S-Bahn and long/mid distance travel that is Germany. S-Bahn, Trams, Busses, U-Bahn, and it's all frequent and not undersized!

What? No, the framework 12 is the thing the had before the 13 one. Nowadays, they call that model always 13 it seems. I think you're confusing something, I've got mine since a few years now.

You can't even label these fuckers as "I lost the game because of that idiot", because then you lose every time you see them

The "bug causes death" thing can be ticked for everything safety critical. Starts with the small electronics in an elevator.

Losing a generation in war that could have added much value to their economy can't really be smart or worth it, can it?

Got a Framework 12 and have all sorts of tiny annoying but somewhat manageable problems with it.

It used to overheat and then throttle to 400 Mhz every few seconds on high load. Overheating meaning 100°C. After a long time being annoyed and thinking "did I do something wrong" I reached out to support, and eventually got a new motherboard. It's better since then, but it still gets hot quickly. Also, if I just idle, like maybe a few Browser tabs and that's it, it will get somewhat warm ~65°C and I just don't get it.

For some reason, it sometimes does not find my hard drive on boot. Works the second or third attempt, and is no software problem.

The light detection thing has to be disabled in software to be able to use the brightness buttons.

At the start, my wifi sucked really bad, just on this device.

Having some more ports than just the audio jack and the extension cards would be neat too.

Also, it was really expensive.

So yeah, I sadly wouldn't buy it again, I think. The concept is really neat, but I've had too many annoying little problems. I still do use it as my main computer, and it works reasonably well, is light and well transportable, works with my docking station easily, etc, but those issues are annoying.
