Am I the only one irritated by the title? Why is it „Biden administration“ and not „The US“?

Ich würde aber mal schätzen, dass jemand mit staatlicher Rente plus Wohneigentum und frisch verrented (also noch ordentlich Lebenserwartung) schon leicht über die 1Mio kommt.
Wieviel Vermögen ist denn, sagen wir mal, 2000€ mtl. staatliche Rente im Alter von 70 Jahren?
Ich finde ja 1Mio etwas knapp unter der Annahme, dass Rentenansprüche, Eigenheim, u.ä. eingerechnet wird. Falls man es nicht einrechnet wäre es unfair.
“…and then Jack chopped down the beanstalk, adding murder and ecological vandalism to the theft, enticement and trespass charges already mentioned, but he got away with it and lived happily ever after without so much as a guilty twinge about what he had done. Which proves that you can be excused just about anything if you’re a hero, because no one asks inconvenient questions.” ― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
Turns out, eventually someone will ask inconvenient questions.
I’ve seen many a good wargame and wargamer spoiled thanks to the fair sex. I’ll detail that if anyone wishes. -Gygax
There is clearly more than dragon alignment. Apparently, Gygax has made some bad experiences and calls out women as a threat to his wargaming (i.e. ttrpg) hobby. It also doesn't seem to be an off-hand mention since he dares his readers to ask for more.
Btw he wrote this years before he even met Lorraine Williams, so more bad experiences ahead. He was married for nearly twenty years at the time of this quote. Not sure if that means anything.
I like that many (all?) of the Mausritter one pagers have a d6 table of hooks when using it for a one shot. It gives a little randomization to the start and can result in very different stories.
Luke seems to have campaigns in mind where characters bring context and background.
Web access doesn’t work for months now and the admin has disappeared.
In der Praxis ist das Ziel solcher Überwachung doch dann Drogendealer und Umweltaktivisten.
The point of the author seems that autopilot is better than FSD for him:
Without FSD, you pay attention to the road and everything else is within your control. With FSD, you still need to pay attention but now there’s the additional cognitive load to monitor an unpredictable system over which you don’t have direct control. Forget about just being focused, you need to be hyper-focused, and you need to pay $99 per month or a one time fee of $12,000 for the privilege. With the limited functionality of autopilot, you hit the sweet spot: adaptive cruise control and lane centering work reliably, and you don’t need to worry about any other mischief.
Germany because a lot of family lives here.
Level 3 from Mercedes is more expensive though.
Other level 2 systems do not allow you to take your hands off and will probably annoy you with some kind of warnings. Wasn’t it Tesla where you could squeeze an orange into the wheel to trick the system?
Anyways, I agree with you that this isn’t worth the price.
