Sashimi is usually just fish without rice. Sometimes rice is served as a side. I think it is meant for people that order Nigiri with little rice. They should just order Sashimi.

Type 1 diabetes only accounts for 5-10% of cases so you can assume that the numbers most likely mostly come from type 2 diabetes cases. I agree that this is making the data more imprecise than necessary but not completely useless.

That would mean paying a marginal tax rate of 100%. The maximum marginal tax in germany is 45%, if you make more than €277000 per year.

But you don’t get paid the “Pendlerpauschale”. You can only deduct it from your taxes.

But with a million bucks you wouldn’t really be bound by location anymore. You could just retire somwhere that is cheaper and without the need to work most of your waking time you aren’t even really limited by language as you have plenty of time to learn a new language.

Scooters are much cheaper than e-bikes. You can probably get two e-scooters for the price of an e-bike. They are probably closer to regular bikes in price. But regular rental bikes are less attractive to people with low fitness levels. Especially when they have airless tires.

How does a microchip help when apparently the name “Parmigiano Reggiano” isn’t protected in the US? The article doesn’t seem to differentiate between actual counterfeit that claims to be from the region vs. cheese that is made in the US and sold as made in the US. The chips would only help against the second kind. Also, the article claims that parmesan is one of the oldest cheeses of humankind even though it is less than a thousand years old while people have made cheese since the stone age. Personally, I don’t really see a reason, that people in the US should only be able to call parmesan from Italy parmesan if most parmesan sold there is already made in the US. I don’t think it really matters where the cheese is produced and it doesn’t really make sense, to transport it over the ocean when it can be produced locally.

I think we can very strongly infere that other humans are conscious from knowing that we are conscious ourselves and seeing that other peoples brains work in the same way as ours and people think and behave in a very similar way as us and also have a concept of what consciousness is that corresponds with our own. In my opinion believing that other people aren’t conscious is in the same category of beliefs as the past, the future or even the world and physical laws not existing outside of our subjective experiences. Sure you can not mathematically prove any of that but questioning it isn’t really useful for more than a philosophical exercise of scepticism. As for AI I think it is a tricky question that I can’t answer. Right now I don’t think it is but maybe in the future it will be.

People have started planting Olives in austria and even germany allready. Eventhoug I think it is more experimental still.

Generally as long as the symbol isn’t used to endorse nazi ideology it is fine.

Note that the article is an auto-generated comparison. In my opinion these two cars aren’t really comparable and are only kind of similar in terms of looks and dimensions. Everything else is pretty different. The volvo is about twice as heavy and up to three times as powerful depending on configuration and is available with allwheel drive vs just frontwheel drive fir the Dacia and far more luxurious. They appeal to a completely different class of cutomers.

Wouldn’t the salts derived from organic acids like citric acid technically be organic salts? Like sodium citrates for example?
