Yes, the ton of elaborate Excel macros alone that keep small and medium business running at all tells me: not going to happen.

I have never understood the concept of paying loads of money to go somewhere chock full of other people on my precious spare time. So, they want no tourists? Alright then, I'll support their cause by continuing with my policy of spending my vacations around home.

The only low nose electric station wagon you can buy today is a Porsche Taycan

>No, id7? MG5_1X7A6207.jpg)?

I'd assume that's exactly what he meant. Europe comes with a set of ideals and it seems that Canada by and large aligns with those closer than ex Soviet block countries, even after all the years.

"Rapid" in Germany would mean *"planned for finishing within 10 years, actually done in 20 for double the price and with half of the capacity"*.

Dude found something he could put a price on and announced it. Now he'll wait for offers.

...and require electricians to not think of themselves as IT experts that should have any say in configuring anything beyond maybe actual modbus on two wires.

Yep, and I paid the premium for a Fronius one and so far, apart from their customer service being clearly oriented towards the chain *"customer -> installer -> Fronius"* I am pretty happy with it.

They are staying on top of things with their software updates, provide proper changelogs and API documentation and features like emergency offgrid power have improved over the period of my ownership. It was okay with a switchover time of about 60 seconds of no power from and to the grid when I bought the thing, and the last time emergency power triggered, the switchover to local took only about 12 seconds and switching back was seamless with my UPSes not even triggering. I would recommend them.

Absolutely this. I have limited experience with the whole home automation market, but I find the Shelly model to be perfect: Local access via BLE or LAN ist always enabled out of the box, cloud (run by Shelly) requires a checkbox to be activated.

The great thing is that others help them with the squeezing. Migrating a modern, manufacturing company to OSS alternatives in the backend is somewhat possible but labour intensive, in the frontend, nope, won't happen. Way too much software, from CAD to extremely task specific stuff will only work when there MS beneath it.

Apart from a little, externally driven restructuring in their real estate departments, the companies that collaborated with our facists back then came all out on top in the end and thrived. If there's a lesson in there, its not the one we'd like to see.

Well, he got his ressource deal signed so the US don't give a shit about what happens from now on.

I’m already looking for migration opportunities.

Hun, you go ahead and do that. Complaining and being unhappy is a german pasttime, but every single person taking that elsewhere is a personal relief for me. We need to ***do*** shit to get this thing back on track.

Yep. This is the guy that owns Springer in a nutshell:

>Economically, Döpfner professes support for globalization, and in foreign policy for the "free west, fuck the intolerant Muslims and all the other riffraff." On security policy, he considers himself a hawk. "Environmental policy – I am very much in favor of climate change. Civilization phases of warmth have always been more successful than those of cold. We should not fight climate change, but adapt to it." If there is one thing he hates, it's wind turbines. On the topic of migration, he advocates for clear criteria and is "rather strict," stating that whoever "opens the doors will reap racism." On religious matters, he pleads for tolerance toward believers, but is "intolerant when they become intolerant." Finally, he makes a declaration: "And of course: Zionism above all. Israel my country."

"But now it's kinda obvious so we better spin it as a newly discovered development in order not to look too bad."

Seems that it is pronounced "u-telsat".

Trump might be an idiot, but he is not so much of an idiot to take on the entirety of Europe

I don't think he'll have to. With Europe busy infighting and a war on the eastern border, he can snack up Greenland just as he's planning to. Nobody will do anything about it at that point.

France should be big enough that you can avoid her in day to day activities, I think.

not working in our interest

But maybe in *their* interest. With the moderate to far right, I always assume that a larger proportion of people are focused on personal advantage than on average across the spectrum.
