I already have a Venu Sq, and I'm looking to upgrade. My wife has a Fenix 7S and loves it, and it has some features I would like. The Fenix 8 is now obviously out, but it's a) very expensive, b) bigger than a 7S (I have very small wrists), and c) has a microphone. I try to avoid devices with microphones, since I don't completely trust that they can't be somehow used for evil. And although I do scuba dive, I already have a Mares dive computer, so the dive functionality on the Garmin isn't quite as appealing. I get a good deal on Garmin devices through work, and people are selling lots of used Fenix 7 watches, so I'm interested in using this as a chance to get one. But I'm a bit afraid that they'll stop getting any updates or anything soon. How long do we think the 7 will keep getting updates? Or what's my best path forward here?

I would +1 this. I'm completely bald, and almost never leave the house without a hat, even in summer. It's also important protection against sunburn :).
For something comfortable in the summer, I personally often go for brimmed hiking hats. A few that I like:

Yeah, absolutely. My watch is getting quite old, so I was waiting for the Fenix 8 before I decided what to do, but at least for me, it's definitely not worth the price. I'm most likely going to end up getting a Fenix 7 instead now, and maybe wait a bit to see if they end up discounting it to get rid of old inventory.

I'm working on some outdated memories, but IIRC:
Germany allows dual citizenship now, but used to not allow it in most cases. In those cases, if you applied for German citizenship, you had to express that you were willing to give up your old citizenship. Once you were granted citizenship, you had a certain amount of time (two years?) to show a certificate that you renounced your old citizenship. If you didn't, your German citizenship would be revoked.

I finished Dave the Diver a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it. For me, it hit this sweet spot of "Remember where everything is and grind the same thing over and over" without getting boring.

Thanks for that link! That does seem very similar to what I read about in Machi Koro 2, and I think we will definitely try it the next time we play.
I just played a round of Machi Koro with a friend, and at a certain point, he was far behind. He didn't have many buildings that grant money on other people's turns, and the rest of us had also purchased a lot more red buildings than him. I'm looking for ideas of house rules that make help provide some sort of catch-up mechanism if you're far behind. Do any of you have any tips? If it matters, we usually play with the Harbor expansion, but are willing to play without it as well. We're already considering it because of how extreme the Tuna Boat can be.

I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 2.99€ and I've been enjoying it. I've always heard good things about the series, but never tried it before. Definitely feeling that Cyberpunk had some inspiration from Deus Ex.
I also bought Firewatch for 4.99€ and beat it in a day. I wasn't spoiled about the story, but I had read a bit about it. At the end of the day, I'm glad I played it, but I'm not sure that I would necessarily recommend it.
Hi all! I have a Venue Sq, and I've been thinking of purchasing a new watch for quite some time. I've been mostly leaning towards a Fenix 7, since it has some more sport features, and has no microphone (the Venue 3 has a microphone, which I wouldn't use and don't really trust). However, the Fenix 7 was announced in January 2022, and I'm wondering if there will be either Fenix 8 or at least a discount on the Fenix 7 sometime soon, so I'm hesitant to buy one now. When are new watches usually announced? Any thoughts on whether it makes sense to wait?
I do not know if it's true for all countries, but at least the USA and the UK require your passport to be signed to be valid. And I know that when I fly, I sometimes get checked if it is signed. Is there a practical reason for this? Does the signature get checked against anything? Or is it simply that the law says a passport must be signed to be valid, so there you go? I googled around a bit, but only found resources on how to sign, but not why it needs to be signed. Thank you Internet hive mind!

Have you watched the show? The game is not for me, horrorness being a part of the reason, but the show was very well done.

My basic approach is: Esc works like in normal evil-mode, and takes me into vterm-copy-mode as well. Without doing that, I have C-w C-w remapped to move to another window, so I can switch to another window for all the rest of my keybindings. And I have C-Esc mapped to send Esc into the terminal itself.
I'm using evil-collection for the basic bindings, and I have my own custom stuff here: https://github.com/bricka/emacs.d/blob/main/init.el#L1054-L1073
Edit: Forgot C-Esc

This immediately made me think of Scythe, and sure enough, he did the art. Fantastic.
Ich habe vor einem Monat Miso wegen einer Idee gekauft, aber habe es nicht benutzt. Jetzt habe viel Miso, aber ich weiß nicht, was ich kochen soll. Ich habe schon zweimal Miso Auberginen gemacht, aber der Misoschicht ist viel zu stark...ich liebe salzig und umami, aber es ist einfach zu viel. Habt ihr irgendwelche tolle vegane oder vegetarische Ideen, wo der Miso ein bisschen weniger stark ist? Danke!
As far as I am aware, grazing animals like cows or sheep poop in the same meadows where they eat grass, but presumably don't have any problems eating the grass and pooping in the same space. But if humans would eat vegetables that they had pooped on, my understanding is that we would get sick. Why? Am I incorrect that grazing animals poop where they eat? Are their stomachs more resistant to whatever makes it dangerous? Thank you!

I do like a lot of meat alternatives, but I was at a restaurant a while back where they had a non-Beyond Meat veggie burger. And it was super good! I feel like it's becoming a lost art, though :(.
My dad is the opposite: he wants every restaurant to only offer Beyond Meat burgers. He loves them.

Ein Freund von mir hat Zombie Teenz Evolution mit seiner 7-Jähriger Tochter gespielt, und sie hat es genossen. Es gibt auch Zombie Kidz Evolution, das auf jüngere Kinder abgezielt werden soll.
Die zwei sind Legacy Spiele, was heißt, dass man es mehrmals spielt, und neue Fähigkeiten oder Charactere entdeckt, oder das Brett irgendwie ändert, zB mit neuen Stickern, die Orte ändern.

When I was starting to learn German, I found it quite intimidating, but once I started having a grasp of the language, I found it actually pretty easy. The trick is just being able to recognize the subwords. Take a word like Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung: once you know Arbeit and Schein, it already starts being easier to see the meaning.

Interessant: Ich habe immer an diese Situation gedschty als jemand der die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft beantragen will. Aber ich glaube du hast Recht und es wird ermöglichen, dass Deutsche im Ausland auch einen ausländischen Pass beantragen dürfen, ohne die deutsche Staatsbürgeeschaft zu verlieren.
cabhan Now • 100%
Ja, das ist natürlich eine echte Sorge von mir. Ich habe irgendetwas gelesen, dass irgendjemand wollte, dass es in der Zukunft möglich sein soll, die Staatsbürgerschaft von Eingebürgererten wieder wegzunehmen. Aber ich glaube das wurde abgelehnt.

I was reading this article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, and saw this quote: > Diesen Freitag verabschiedet der Bundestag ein neues Staatsangehörigkeitsrecht, es soll die Einbürgerung erleichtern. Statt nach acht Jahren können Einwanderer künftig nach fünf Jahren einbürgern, bei besonderen Leistungen schon nach drei. Auch der Doppelpass wird erlaubt, nach jahrzehntelangem Kampf. Wer dauerhaft bleibt und sich anstrengt, soll das volle Wahlrecht bekommen und dazugehören. Das ist der Plan. I've already passed my Citizenship Exam and am ready to go!

I wish this was exaggerated, but it isn't at all. Every time I try to learn Haskell, I end up in some tutorial: "You know how you sometimes need to represent eigenvectors in an n-dimensional plane with isotonically theoretical pulsarfunctions? Haskell types make that easy!"
An English post is below. --- Ich hoffe es ist erlaubt: Mein schottischer Tanzverein bietet am 18.11 einen Ceilidh im Wirtshaus im Hirschgarten an. Ein Ceilidh ist eine schottische Tanzparty, und wir werden ganz viele Tänze machen, die für alle geeignet sind. Alle Tänze werden gezeigt und erklärt, und es gibt auch die Möglichkeit, eine schöne Whiskyflasche zu gewinnen. Falls jemand Fragen hat, sag einfach Bescheid. Und vielleicht sehen wir ein paar von euch dort! --- I hope this allowed here: my Scottish dance Verein is hosting a ceilidh in the Wirtshaus in Hirschgarten on the 18th of November.

All dances will be shown and explained, and there will even be the chance to win a nice bottle of whisky. If anyone has questions, just say so :). And maybe we'll see some of you there!
Hello folks! I'm using `straight.el` for my package management, but one thing that I'm missing is some sort of easy way to see what's changed, when I do a `straight-pull-all`. Ideally, I could see which packages that I explicitly have a dependency on have changed, and see either a changelog or a list of commits. Does anyone know if something like this already exists? Thanks!

Hallo alle! Ich versuche mein Deutsch zu verbessern, und obwohl ich mehr oder weniger fließend sprechen kann (zwischen C1/C2), ich lese selten Bücher auf Deutsch. Also ich suche nach Empfehlungen! Und nachdem ich ein paar...weniger tolle Übersetzungen gelesen habe, würde ich gern ein paar Bücher lesen, die von einem deutschsprachigen Autor auf Deutsch geschrieben wurden. Ich lese hauptsächlich Science Fiction und Fantasie, aber ich mag auch andere gute Geschichten. Leider habe ich keine Erfolg mit Markus Heitz gehabt, also lieber nichts von ihm. Ein paar englische Bücher, die ich gut gefunden habe: - Alles von Alastair Reynolds - Alles von Brandon Sanderson - N.K. Jemisin - Octavia Butler Ich habe nicht zu viele deutschsprachige Bücher für Erwachsener gelesen, aber ein paar die ich genossen habe sind: - Die Stadt der träumenden Bücher - Der Schwarm Könnte jemand hier mir etwas empfehlen?
Hi all! I'm looking for a service where I can port my phone number, and then make and receive phone calls and SMS, all over data, not cell service. My particular use case is that I live in Germany, but I still have a US phone number, and occasionally need to receive SMSes or phone calls on that number. I am aware that Google Voice offers this service, but as you can probably guess given that I'm here, I am unwilling to use it :). I saw JMP here: https://lemmy.world/post/1033514, but TBH, I don't think that it will give me the experience that I'm looking for, given that it seems to translate everything back to generic Jabber. Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions! I have decided to go with VoIP.ms: I tested it today, and am working on transferring my number to them now.
So, yesterday I broke my dominant arm. Yay! For the next 6 weeks, I have a cast, and at least for now, I can't use my right hand or arm at all (I am typing this with my left hand). I'm looking for suggestions what I can play. Some thoughts: 1. On PC, of couse 2. Can be played only with the keyboard 3. No time limits or need to respond quickly (e.g. many RTSes) 4. I like puzzle games, RPGs, and good storytelling. I want to like sim games, but haven't yet found one that I love. 5. Nothing too difficult Here's a link to my Steam profile, if that helps: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198028619119/games/?tab=all Thank you all for any advice!
Like it says, I took the Einbürgerungstest this past weekend. The questions are a mix of things that feel pretty obvious (which war lasted from 1939-1945) and things that require memorization (Which chancellor was responsible for the Ostverträge?). In a lot of ways, it feels like another language exam: if you understand German well enough to understand the questions, you can probably pass. We officially had an hour, but I was done within 8 minutes, and I wasn't the first :). One step closer to citizenship!
