Certainly not a computer expert, but consider the option that the battery on your motherboard might be running low. If the hardware itself is older, I would try swapping the button cell. I've seen many weird issues get resolved this way, although in theory it should not mess up anything but system time.

I very much dislike the current trend, but this one ... this one really got me.

It's just different word for "dildo"

Look at it this way: When a diesel sub is endangered, they can turn off everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Quiet as a mouse that doesn't exist. However, it will have to resurface eventually. A nuclear sub cannot do that. The cooling pumps have to keep running. But they can stay under water pretty much indefinitely (until they run out of food).

Congratulations, tell that to the people who want to burn down synagogues.

Some people also just don't smell. I found that hard to believe, but my GF a) never sweats and b) even when she does, it's not smelly.

Pretty much my thinking. I'd rather have someone take care of personal hygiene than of their body odor. Save for a very few special cases where you really have to use deodorant, it is perfectly normal and acceptable to wash regularly and only deodorant sporadically when really necessary. I personally even prefer a person's "natural" (not implying that natural = good) smell to no smell at all. If you want to impress, use perfume.

It seems my test was successfull. Probably the same 4 people everytime.

Oh right now you definitely can, I am currently very sick and can barely get out of bed. Smelling non-sick is NOT a priority right now.

You seem to have misunderstood me: Right-wing politicians utilise various strategies to "identify" anti-semitic arab migrants (with very large quotation marks) by equating support for Palestina to anti-semitism. Is it stupid? Yes of course. Does that mean that all of Germany is practicing an arab-scare? Fuck no. Besides: it is not about "using force". Regulations dictate that you have to previously register or at least announce any type of public assembly, especially demonstrations. It is not a huge crime if you don't, but you will face a fine and it WILL be dissolved. That also holds for actually anti-semitic demonstrations, demonstrations organised by the AfD or other national-populistic parties, demos against vaccines etc. You have a right to demonstrate, but you have to follow certain guidelines. In this case you argue that it was not a demonstration as it was only one individual and I believe you are correct here. The whole thing could have probably been avoided by a) registering a proper demo and b) living in a nicer part of Germany (as stupid as that sounds, but some countries are definitely more strict and shitty than others when it comes to foreign-looking people). This way, all we did was provide a nice headline for people to get angry about. Well done.

We definitely have issues with police and politicians cracking down on unwanted protests. However, this specific case seems blown out of proportion. You very much can criticise Israel in Germany, some right-wingers however use that as a honeypot-strategy to predominantly draw out arab migrants ("see, they are anti-semitic!"). It really doesn't help when people actually ARE anti-semitic beyond criticising Israel.

It appears that a number of people in this comment section just downvote everyone that does not use deodorant for any reason. As a test: Deodorant never quite grew on me, I started hating the rather extreme and sometimes even pungent smell as a teenager. I shower (twice) daily to every third day depending on season, daily routine and other factors.
