  • For germany:

    How do they know you are a citizen?

    Everybody has an identity card. And you will be sent an election letter which you then show there. It has your Voter-ID and district number on it.

    How do they know in what political division your vote should be counted?

    Well the voting happens inside the respective districts. Plus you have the number on your letter.

    For local referenda, how do they know what issues you are eligible to vote on?

    No such thing in germany.



  • Well in germany you would get up to 3 years prison time for trying that bullshit. because it absolutely is animal abuse. quote the The German Veterinary Association for Animal Welfare

    "A strictly vegan cat diet [would] be tantamount to an unauthorized, uncontrolled animal experiment and violates § 3 No. 10 of the Animal Welfare Act "

    “Force-feeding for the purpose of an ideologically justified change of diet to vegetarian rations is a violation of § 3 No. of the Animal Welfare Act”














  • To be fair, that has not changed much. I have a Datacenter HDD in my desktop system and the first time powering that thing up sounded like it just shredded the plates and i’m going to be bombarded with shrapnels. But in normal operation, it makes a rather soothing (at least for me) clackety-clack sound. My other, normal desktop HDD not making any noise apart from spinning up is something that i find rather irritating tbh.
