    From my perspective you can’t bet both sides and still expect gains on average. Sure you can be lucky that the one bet wins more than the other loses but typically that doesn’t work if you bet on two opposite outcomes. There are no magical and safe ways to multiply money other than maybe being super rich and already too big to fail.

    Ernstgemeinte Frage: Sind solche Details des Steuerrechts wirklich explizit in der Verfassung geregelt? Wenn es um grundsätzliche Gleichbehandlung von Einkommen ginge, müsste ja die bei 25% gedeckelte Kapitalertragssteuer auch gegen das Grundgesetz verstoßen, da sie im Vergleich zur progressiven Lohnsteuer in der Regel meist niedriger ausfällt.

    Also meinetwegen könnte man das gerne reformieren, ich wundere mich nur über die Aussage der Verfassungswidrigkeit.


  • Maybe I phrased it in a confusing way. Coffee does not smell like dog poop to me. It’s just exactly as disgusting. Can’t really compare it to anything else but it’s a very intense smell that I just can’t stand. I noticed that microwaving chocolate milk can lead to a similar smell but by far not as bad as coffee.

    It’s not roasted stuff in general that I despise and also not related to milk.












  • I agree that the US have way too many way too big trucks but this…

    Ambulances and firetrucks in Europe and Asia are smaller than most american pickup trucks.

    … is just wrong. I live in Germany and even small villages with only volunteer firefighters have full blown trucks way above 10 tons.

    Most fire departments have something like this:

    MAN TGM 18.330 Tank with 4,000 litres of water 18 tons total weight

    More specialized departments close to industrial facilities, airports can be also much bigger. This one is currently the biggest weighting 52 tons.
