Yeeha, that's fucking awesome! :⁠-⁠D

The Core Time 2 looks really nice
Although I'm wondering, why only the cheaper one has a Barometer.
That's something I'd actually like to have - as well :⁠-⁠\

Also fighting for survival with multiple jobs pretty much kills the inventive for anything social on your rare free time

To be fair, in such child songs there are often words used, that aren't really common in daily live - besides sometimes when talking with children, but mostly they are there for the rhyme

'Mampfer' is just roughly translated as Eater, which would be more 'Esser'
'mampfen' is better translated as munch(-ing)
So, Trashmuncher probably should have been the better translation

Also the rhyme with 'zu Hauf' comes from 'Haufen', which is a pile

There was a story from the child book author Thomas Brezina (Austrian), who wrote the series "Knickerbocker Bande", which is about 4 childs/teens, who do some detective work and solve stuff.
I absolutely loved that series as a child and I've read like...I don't know dozens of them
(After that he created 'Tom Turbo' which was more meant for a younger audience)

Anyway, I had a audiobook cassette, which was about a killed scientist, that created "Müllmampfer" (stuff the eats trash) and it would just eat it and it's gone with that

I'm still having that song in my ear after more than 30 years
"Müllmampfer, Müllmampfer,
die Welt, die braucht Müllmampfer.
Sie fressen jeden Abfall auf und Abfall gibt es hier zu Hauf!"

Roughly translated: "Trash-Eater, Trash-Eater,
The world, it needs Trash-Eaters.
They eat all the trash and there is a abundance of trash'

So, even 30 years ago, we all were aware of this problem
But as always, capitalism wins, because we need to create new stuff, else the economy can't grow - and as we all know, infinite growth in a finite system isn't possible

I'm also remembering stories from my school time (in a technical high school), where they told us, that Phillips just trashed completely newly produced DVD players, because selling them at lower prices, would have crashed the market and would have brought in a net negative for their future products.

Long story, short:
This system is just not sustainable in any way...

I have no clue here, so can you clarify your last sentence?

Where is the quality better? Europe or USA?

Until Trump rolls out some subsidies, because it would probably be illegal if Tesla didn't make enough profit or something ...

Do you have lithium 9 volt blocks or do you only get your zinc and manganese from it?

But it's probably important to take care of all your nutritional needs and different 9 volt batteries could provide you with quite some of that.

Clever thinking!

You don't just suck on your old batteries?
Fucking spoiled rich kids and their pharmacy grade lithium...

Just plant some poppies and make yourself a tea

Much cheaper than heroin or fenta, still gives you enough of a buzz, and it can be bio and you know where it comes from without all the possible dirt in it.

I guess, you didn't really mean it, but if someone really thinks about fenta or H as a substitute for alcohol or medical opiates, please consider this alternative, as you have much more control of what you put into your body.
And a tea holds up for like 24h, in comparison to a much shorter timeframe with H or fenta - which in those cases is/was a good thing, as you can dosage it much better e.g. during surgery.
But for pain relief or just recreational stuff, short lived opiates are the devil, as you need to obviously take it more often - and with that, the little thing in your head will always say "oh come on, just a little bit more this time, I had a bad day/I deserved it today"

As said, I'm pretty sure your post wasn't serious, but people in such a situation should still consider safer and more cost effective alternatives.

I'm pretty sure the point of showing the ads only at intersections is, that the car needs to be in a standstill

So they kinda give you "entertainment", while you're waiting

Obviously a completely shit move, but I'm afraid, we can't hit them for safety issues here

Maybe more relevant would be, that people will miss the green light or produce more traffic jams, because that they're clear to move on

(Or did I miss something how/when they show their stupid ads?)

I just hate, when people quote Goebbels with that shit...
