Covid period was a sour wake up call for Chinese citizens. Poor people. Hope they somehow find a change of living and rulers.

I‘m not sure how GDP is measured for an international company such as Google. Does the entire Revenue count cos the HQ sits in the US? Or is the license fees that it pays to Bahama‘s (in order to avoid taxes) is substracted from the US GDP? Does somebody know how that is measured?

Not US-based, German, but residential prices go crazy here as well.

For me it was the best decision to buy a house. For two reasons: you surf on the asset inflation as well. Moving to a new house last year wasn’t that pricey as I only had to borrow the difference old vs new bigger house.

Second reason is psychology: I don’t know somebody who has stocks in their account in same height as a house price. Paying mortgage forces you to save money. Having a (low) 6-digit stock account, feels being rich and money flows out into buying things.

If you just need the energy for the pool, a small setup without battery is all you need. Saves you half the price. Panels and inverters are around 900€ in Germany. Putting a battery on it makes another 1,200€ and it makes sense only, if you need power in the evening.

I don’t get it. For me it seems like „it’s not 100% the best way, so you have to stop it.“ Sure, a car-free, equal society that treats nature as family is the way to go. But why do they try to kill the first movers? Because Elon Musk is a weirdo? Why not stopping the coal diggers a few kilometers to the east? Or the chemical plants to the south first? That’s such a brain fuck.

Hi guys, thx for all your help. My project is finally successful. Shower hinge repaired - entire shower cabinet usable now. Let’s give you a short feedback:

• I‘ve chosen PCBway as it was the cheapest with 90€ for stainless steel, laser sintering.
• Other both providers were around 300€ up to 1000€ ( this one in chrome though)
• The production & delivery time was quite long with 2-3 weeks from China. But I‘m not in a hurry.
• I did two plastic prototypes first and discovered always a few new details I didn’t recognize first.
• The metallic print is stainless steel (hope better than Tesla quality) and it‘s fully printed - not the walls only.

At all it costs 130€ for the print, oil, silicone sealant and some other things. Saved me approx 2-4000€ for a new shower cabinet as spare parts were out of production. A picture in comment below.
