I'd rather wait because they actually take their time to talk to their patients than them kicking everyone (including me) out of the door as soon as the time is over.

If your university has a law faculty they might offer limited legal advice from current students for free or a reduced fee.

Wenn du in einem dunklen, fremden und engen Raum eingeschlossen bist und anfängst Panik zu schieben, bleibst du selbst als Erwachsener aber erst Recht nicht als Kind ruhig genug, um deine Umgebung sorgsam nach dem Notöffner abzutasten.

Even in that case the app doesn't need to phone home. It doesn't even need an internet connection on its own. You'd have to download the update yourself and then use the app to apply the patch, which is less user friendly to not-so-tech-savy users but possible. Just send an email with the necessary information to users who have subscribed to receive these kind of updates.

Sometimes there's a tie for a position which cannot be resolved by the current rules or won't be played out at all.

In athletics, for example in pole vault, you have several tries to reach a certain height, if two athletes are tied at the same height the amount if failed tries is compared, but this still leads to shared places quite often. In the sports where you're scoring points you might get a tie by having the same highest score, which is usually resolved by comparing the second or third best score, but even that might not always be sufficient. In some of the tournament sports there are no games for third place, so the losers of the semi finals share third.

Der Eingriff ist in der Tat nicht sehr kompliziert, aber eben nicht garantiert reversibel. Das sollte man sich gut überlegen, falls man in der Zukunft auf natürliche Weise Kinder zeugen möchte.

Ich habe ne Zeit lang neben des Studiums Führungen unter anderem in einer Ausstellung gemacht, die globale Erwärmung, Gletscherschmelze und ähnliches abdeckt. Die kognitive Dissonanz von Touristen, die gerade mit dem Flieger oder Kreuzfahrtschiff angekommen sind und dann die Auswirkungen von zu hohem CO2-Ausstoss beklagen, ist nicht zu überbieten.

Der Notausgang ist aber in der Regel alarmgesichert, so dass Mitarbeiter das auch mitbekommen.

Und ein Zaun beim Flughafen hat keine Kameras oder Bewegungsmelder?

Sicherheitstheater ja, aber der Vergleich hinkt.

Das ist in etwa so, als würdest du die Effektivität von Supermarktkassen anzweifeln, wenn man mit den Einkäufen auch einfach durch den Notausgang das Gebäude verlassen kann.

Agreed, their software is utter garbage.
There's the Onboard Memory Manager though, which does everything you would ever want without the gloss, bullshit and bugs:

A reviewer once remarked that I'm not worthy of being in my field of study. I'm so much happier since I left academy behind. I obviously love science, but fuck the current culture and people that enable and encourage such behaviour.

The value of the material is that it already is in space. Getting stuff into orbit is incredibly costly. Parking an asteroid in orbit would allow us to mine it and then fabricate space installations on the asteroid and/or using materials from it.
