Wie lange wird jetzt schon über Überhangmandate „diskutiert“? Über die Probleme des Föderalismus in seiner jetzigen Form? Modernisierung der Verwaltung? Alles kreist um sich selbst. Entschieden wird kaum.

@clacke Damals, mit alten Dieselmotoren, ging das auch. Aber seit Common Rail und hochdruckeinspritzung ist es für den Motor ein sicherer Totalschaden. @Hiker

@Hiker Die Vorräte an pflanzlichen Ölen sind mehr als ausreichend. Einen Diesel mit Rapsöl zu fahren wird aber tatsächlich in den entsprechenden Kreisen grad heftig diskutiert. Und ist definitiv einer der Gründe für die Käufe gerade. Aber klar, mir erstmal Fake News vorwerfen geht auch.

@Hiker ist hier in Deutschland jedenfalls definitiv grad Thema.

@fellmoon Wait for used car advertisements of diesel cars with „minor starting problems, mostly when cold outside“ ;)

In #Germany, people are panic buying vegetable oil (and vinegar?) because some think they can put it in their car to keep driving. I am ashamed of the stupidity of my fellow citizens here. But let them ruin their SUVs. I’m perfectly fine with that :)

I went to the supermarket and yep. No sunflower/rapeseed oil left. Flour almost gone. But enough toilet paper and pasta. #GermanPanic I had to grin under my FFP3 mask.

Während in den letzten Jahrzehnten viele Tankstellen zu Supermärkten mit Tanksäule mutierten, werden jetzt Supermärkte zu Tankstellen. Für Menschen die bald mit kaputtem Auto am Straßenrand stehen ;)

@clacke @tschervanky Why I still prefer looking for real sources, episode 6491 ;)

@tschervanky Here’s the official answer - yes. Since 2007. https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/service/konsularinfo/staatsangehoerigkeitsrecht

I haven’t yet found out if there is a waiting period after gaining German citizenship to be eligible to get elected. I do plan to become an elected politician and cause some productive trouble :)

But naturalisation in Germany (more specific: Bavaria) is a process that takes 8-16 months and doesn’t come for free. It forces me to get a certificate to prove I can speak German (I’ve lived here since 40 years, went to school, university). Maybe I can learn something new :)

@tschervanky yes.

@tschervanky as I said in my first toot, there is an exception (actually 3). In my case I can prove I left the Netherlands at least 5 years before turned 18 years. That allows me to keep my Dutch citizenship when applying for a German one.

@tschervanky details here: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/nederlandse-nationaliteit/nederlandse-nationaliteit-verliezen/automatisch-verlies-van-de-nederlandse-nationaliteit

I found out I’m eligible to use a rare exception in the Dutch nationality rules, allowing me to legally have two nationalities at the same time. Dutch and German. I plan to take that opportunity. Two passports, two national identities. I like.

@smuglispweenie the 6 byte encoding comes with a hefty price - 2 bytes wasted as in „always zero“. 4 Bytes are more than sufficient to even integrate coding systems from other planets and galaxies ;)

Reminder. Dear #MySQL #mariadb Users: utf8 isn’t utf8. utf8mb4 is utf8. Since almost 12 years.
