No, they didn’t. It was a toss up in all polls right till the end with a slight tendency towards Trump. The polls were pretty much on the nose

Now, that’s important information!

I didn’t downvote you and also wouldn’t, but I get where the down vote is coming from, as your comment adds nothing to the discussion. Which was the original reason for having down votes in the first place, wasn’t it? It’s like… who gives a shit? I also wouldn’t know whether the abomination pictured is newer than 2010 but then again, who cares? Whether Stellantis brands this outhouse on wheels RAM or Dodge RAM or Penisenlarger 3000 doesn’t really matter.

A VW transporter can carry 800kg, a Mercedes Sprinter up to 1.5t and their lengths are not absolutely absurd:

(Pictured is the VW but Mercedes is roughly the same length)

The only thing left then is the towing weight, that’s limited to 2 tons for the Volkswagen, same for the Mercedes Sprinter. But I’d assume that usually people towing more than that in Europe would go for a semi truck anyway.

What are people in the US towing that weighs that much regularly?

If you use LinkedIn to apply, simple tip: don’t. The filter is usually “remove anyone applying through LinkedIn”

I don’t think the cover letter is always useless. It often shows, whether the applicant understood the role correctly and how their skills fit into the requirements. The motivational blabla of course is just annoying for everyone involved.

If the company is that incompetent, I’d only wanted to work there if I’m really desperate. I’d hope it never comes to this.

Might be different where you live or in your sector, but no competent company in Germany would go with AI summaries. The chance that the AI misses a statement that the applicant might be disabled and could sue for discrimination is too high.

Also, we have to open CVs in the browser within the hiring application, download is not allowed for data security reasons. The renderer for Word files is definitely not good enough to guarantee that the files render correctly.

Personally, we’re looking for highly skilled people in a specialized field, I’d never trust an AI summary, but we’re also not being swarmed by applicants. If the company looks for a barista, your approach might be better. But proofing computer literacy is not really necessary then anyway.

I would question the applicant’s computer literacy if they send me their CV as anything other than pdf. Basically never seen that though

What’s the significance of 230?

I was against shutting down already written off power plants early while coal power plants were still running. I was in favor of shutting down coal first, yes.

Geothermal energy is possible anywhere but not economical everywhere. Building wind and PV and building infrastructure to save the energy is more economical in many cases.

it’s okay in some amounts since you’re getting radiation doses every day even not living near anything nuclear).

And people get cancer every day. I don’t share their argument that NPPs in normal operation are a risk, but OP is somewhat right, there’s no safe radiation dose, just one we deem safe enough mainly because it doesn’t significantly raise our risk of cancer compared to the natural exposure. And NPPs in normal operation emit less radiation than for example coal fire plants.

FFS, people are stupid.

There was a huge hysteria about nuclear when Fukushima happened. A clear majority was for immediate action. Merkel’s coalition government would have ended if she hadn’t done a 180 on nuclear and decided to shut down nuclear as soon as possible, which was 2023. I was against shutting it down back then but I thought you can’t go against the whole population, so I get why they did it. People didn’t change their mind until 2022. Nobody talked about reversing that decision in all these years when there was actually time to reverse the decision.

Now, that the last reactor is shut down, the same people that were up in arms in 2011 are now up in arms that we don’t have nuclear. Building new plants will cost billions and take decades and nuclear doesn’t work well with renewables because of its inflexibility. It makes no sense at all. It was a long-term decision we can’t just back away from. What’s done is done.
