Probably like probably most people still do find out nowadays.

In this case, crowd-funding is just a marketing instrument anyway. According to the Kickstarter page, they're 21 people working on the game, they want to release in 18 months and they need $ 170,000 to do that (which, by the way, they already got). Less than $ 10,000 per month for a team of 21. In other words: They actually have enough money to do it without Kickstarter.

30% sind nicht wenig, aber halt auch nicht "die meisten" (zumal das auch noch eine Altersklasse höher ist - die höchste, einen höheren Wert gibt es nicht mehr). Und allen, die nicht dement sind, zu unterstellen, sie seien auf dem Weg dorthin oder gar einfach nur noch nicht diagnostiziert, entbehrt jeder Grundlage.

Mit 87 sind die meisten Leute dement oder auf dem guten Weg dorthin. Ist so.

Ist nicht so. Die Prävalenzrate von Demenz liegt selbst in der Altersgruppe 90+ noch unter 30%.

However, she solved the more important issue that there was a post-it glued on top of the screen.

Wir sind ja alle gegen Atome, Gene und Chemie, aber das deutsche Lebensmittelrecht legt eindeutig fest, was Aroma ist, nämlich ein "Erzeugnis, das als solches nicht zum Verzehr bestimmt ist und Lebensmitteln zugesetzt wird, um ihnen einen besonderen Geruch und/oder Geschmack zu verleihen oder diese zu verändern". Kann man durchaus weglassen, ohne den Geschmack an sich wegzulassen.

Well, one thing is that it is a ranking of 50 games without a word of explanation how this ranking was created. Who says #37 is better than #38 is better than #39 is better than #40? And then also, if this is a ranking, why make it that big in the first place? Different people have different tastes, but a ranking says #1 is the best game, #2 the second-best, #3 the third-best - who should care for the 50th-best one if there were 49 better games this year alone?

EDIT: This was meant to be a reply to the "What's odd about this list?" comment.

I haven't played GTA Online in a while, but a thing we always used to do in our group was ending the session by visting someone's apartment or biker club or yacht or whatever, going to the bar there, and getting drunk until someone had to respawn at the hospital. Visits to public nightclubs or the casino and getting drunk there (sometimes even dancing or gambling before doing so!) was more a mid-session thing for us.

Isn't it like 2 clicks to claim a game on Epic, and about a million clicks to play it anyway?

Well, in the world of esoteric candidates, there would be some easy ones, like Brainfuck or Shakespeare, but maybe Whitespace is enough of them in the list.

That's not what's meant by "the alt text" in the context of XKCD comics, though, it's the transcript. The alt text is an additional joke in the title tag: "In the aviation world, they don't use AM/PM times. Instead, all times are assumed to be AM unless they're labeled NOTAM."

(Some explanations for the comic, for those like me who need it, are here: https://explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/3024:_METAR)

Durch die zu niedrige Schätzung würden der Stadt in den kommenden zehn Jahren etwa 100 Millionen Euro entzogen.

10 Millionen Euro pro Jahr hängen am Großstadtstatus? Also eine Stadt mit 99.999 Einwohnern kriegt 10 Millionen Euro weniger als eine mit 100.000? Was für Gelder sind das denn, aus welchen Töpfen kommen die, wofür sind die gedacht und wie wird es begründet, dass die alleine am Erreichen bestimmter Schwellenwerte hängen?
