  • Parking fines follow the costs-by-cause principle. Thus, qualifying them makes their size dependent on their damage.

    Parking in a fire department safety zone resulting in a delayed fire response can be costly, but even if no fire response was delayed, there's an opportunity cost for the fire department, because they need to buy way-clearing devices or extended fire response tools, if there is high likelihood of blocked zones or passage.

    There is a whole department of economic science dealing with this, the internalisation of external costs into economic activity (carbon tax is an example).

  • that his support can largely be explained by his compelling, if not mesmerizing hold on crowds.

    Don't forget that there was massive propaganda to create this narrative, especially after the power grab for the NSDAP and Nazi movement.

    I think he was likely good at instilling anger in his temporary audience. There's a lot of emotion transported.

    Also important to note: The 1933 power grab and the totalitarian regime in the next 12 years wasn't Hitler's work alone. The German electorate, Hindenburg and those who followed knew what they were doing.

  • Workers and Resources keeps crashing and has no usable audio.

    Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead has impossible controls as it uses a full-size keyboard normally.

    Minecraft/Minetest need optional gamepad control, especially GUI-wise.

    Firefox and streaming is awful on the Steam Deck.

  • As for Germany, the country has given some, but the chancellor is reluctant, because he actually seems to fear Russia (every weapon system needed months of convincing him), the former (lol) ordoliberal finance minister refused take out loans due to a austerity program called 'debt brake' and the powerful opposition party sued the government's household and won, so suddenly 66 Bn disappeared which combined with extreme austerity enforced by a 10 percent party in coalition largely limited defense spending.

    TL:DR Austerity wins over Ukraine (or anything) big time.
