I looked at the picture and thought for a straight minute that this is a tiger… Like, photographed from further away

The exception to the rule. I am working in a smaller company as a software engineer, I could count myself as a weeaboo… and lots of my colleagues. And there’s at least one furry (that I know of). I would say 50% of the engineers might actually be affected by this rule! (Totally representative of course /s)

Of course, but that’s not what the previous poster was talking about. They were talking about commercial use of the data.

Someone also answered the hosting question on the golem forum, they do host it themselves: https://forum.golem.de/kommentare/opensource/paketverfolgung-und-mehr-post-und-dhl-wechseln-von-google-maps-zu-openstreetmap/immerhin-laedt-die-post-die-daten-von-den-eigenen-servern/170687,6788315,6788315,read.html

I dont think they pay anything I the article itself it says it’s free to use and that the main factor to switch were the costs. In the comments there people also say that DHL doesn’t seem to donate to the project.

Here ist the part from the article translated to English:

Since there has been no announcement of the change from either Deutsche Post or DHL, the reasons for this step remain unclear. Presumably, cost reasons may have played a role. Deutsche Post had to pay fees to Google for the use of Google Maps. The data of Openstreetmap is under a free license and may be used without payment of license fees.

I don’t think so. The carrot eating fish was a puffer fish.

If you read your linked articles and surveys you will see, that they’re even arguing against your argument.

Just to quote some stuff:

David Hemenway, who led the Harvard research, argues that the risks of owning a gun outweigh the benefits of having one in the rare case where you might need to defend yourself.

"The average person ... has basically no chance in their lifetime ever to use a gun in self-defense," he tells Here & Now's Robin Young. "But ... every day, they have a chance to use the gun inappropriately. They have a chance, they get angry. They get scared."

"If we don't even have a minimum standard, not for training, but for performance validation for our law enforcement," he says, "how in God's name is anybody going to say, 'Well, just because you have a gun in your pocket, you know how to use it in self-defense?' You don't."

And some of the other stuff seems very biased:

The largest and most comprehensive survey of American gun owners ever conducted suggests that they use firearms in self-defense about 1.7 million times a year. It also confirms that AR-15-style rifles and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, frequent targets of gun control legislation, are in common use for lawful purposes, which the Supreme Court has said is the test for arms covered by the Second Amendment.

The online survey, which was conducted by Centiment in February and March of 2021, was based on a representative sample of about 54,000 adults, 16,708 of whom were gun owners. Georgetown University political economist William English, who commissioned the survey as part of a book project, presents its major findings in a recent paper available on the Social Science Research Network.

I mean, a survey for owners of guns… Of course if you own a weapon like that, you will tell everyone that you use it for self defense. And probably enough people who say they did that, just lie…

Genau das habe ich mir auch gedacht, als ich den Post gesehen habe. Es ist doch ein extremer Luxus, überhaupt ein Pferd zu besitzen. Da sollte man doch schon das Kleingeld für die Pflege aufbringen können. Zumal viele Besitzer sich die Pflege durch Reitstunden sowieso wieder reinholen…

I first thought the guys cleaning the ducks are butchers… That would have been quite the different way to help going through a phase…

For me it’s all the time the other way around. I prepared everything and think about the session later the day. Then I read the group chat and people cancel and try to reschedule without finding time for it…
