What about taxing wealth, while reducing mass taxes like the VAT to finally get people to spend again? Increasing peoples salaries would also help, and capping rent to what it costs to ensure upkeep and needed new construction - i think that would easly do the trick to fill the states coffers and get the economy out of this slump instead of filling the bank accounts of shameless, greedy people. Those will find other ways to enrich themselves, maybe through the defense industry.

I currently use wifi6 because i am too lazy to deal with the cable right now, but i also don't play online. Would definitely go back to the good old cable when changing that

Its mainly noticeable as a unstable framerate independent from any real system load. The Latency of your internet connection is the actually deciding factor while the game is waiting for the cloud save to update.

The issues you describe sounds very much like the consequences of packet loss somewhere between the host and the clients. Anyone using mobile internet or WiFi instead of all cables? Thats the main culprit for these problems - their net code never was super stable and badly coped with spotty connections.

Our homes are built to isolate, and the apartment building i live in is older than most of the buildings currently existing in the US that are used as living space. It's from the 1920s, and although it was modernized in the 2000s, the basic attributes don't change. They were never built with heatwaves in mind, they were constructed to make sure you didn't freeze to death in winter. A large percentage of available living spaces here are constructed this way.

A) there is no AC, and the European Window Style does not make it easy to retrofit, in addition to needing permits - these are historical buildings that are protected by law, preventing most permanent changes to the facade, and rentals are the default in Vienna, so you are messing with someone else's property.

B) short bouts of heat are no issue because of the isolating attributes, but long term heat slowly seeps in, and it's hard to cool the rooms back down again. I only open my windows after sunset and close them shortly after sunrise, while hanging cloth into them on the outside to prevent direct sun, but when the nights dont drop below 25°c, you can't get the heat out fast enough.

C) Our infrastructure is only slowly catching up. Even things like older hospitals or care facilities dont have HVAC. At least nowadays most public transport has AC, but that is a pretty new thing.

So no, our infrastructure at large is not made to deal with long stretches of 40°c heat. It was made when we still had -25°c winters and 30°c were noteworthy.

There's talk of a possible new alltime record, old one was 40,5°c. There is also a forecast which says we will have a very high chance of setting a new nightly minimum record of 28°c on Wednesday night.

Three worst thing are the populist parties attempting to dress this up as "a summer as it used to be". My childhood memories tell me that summers were maxing out somewhere in the 32°c, and we had a lot of heat thunderstorms cooling the evenings when reaching those temperatures.

Nowadays we don't even get rain.

As someone with massive sleeping issues - no, that is not normal.

As @alienzx@feddit.nl mentioned, it might be sleep apnea. make audio recordings of your sleep - it should be pretty obvious the moment you are able to get the first breath in again, it will probably be a pretty noisy event. If you have apnea: DONT DELAY SEEING YOUR DOCTORS. This condition causes brain damage over time, you dont want to wait this one out.

If it isn't that, get your bloodwork done, there's a load of things that might be an issue.

The parasite in question spreads through excrements. But i agree that to reach this scale, there must be multiple issues; a single sick worker can't cause this if there are protocols in place to prevent this. Maybe there was an large-scale outbreak in their workforce that everyone ignored. Maybe machines processing the produce weren't cleaned after an incident. In the end, someone there was very sick, and management ignored it.

There are many diseases that can get transferred specifically by blood and feces. Those situations happen if you abuse your workers by overworking and underpaying them, while neglecting even their most basic needs like a damn toilet.

Doesn't change the fact that fox only spread that info to rile people up without explaining the surrounding circumstances.

Haven't played it in coop, but it is an ARPG, meaning text/interactions are neither common nor needed (although i always enjoyed the codex entries one can collect)
