I kind of don't imagine a workaholic having online gaming scandal about paying someone to run a game for them and then doubling down on that, but well, I was already told before I lack imagination.

AI models tend to get it way way wrong: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41529024
I would evade Germany, Austria and also Italy in general, due to common racism against slavic people.
EU parliament has no actual power, EU is basically ran by EC and ECB.
1. There is mandatory service with technical exam yearly. Few days before it I call my mechanic, drive car to him, then pick it up next day. He changes the oil, brake pads if they are getting bad, tightens a few nuts. Usually I pay less than 100€ for that, but price varies heavily by car model/mechanic/location.
2. I go change the wheels before and after winter (we have to use separate ones for summer and winter there due to snow). Again, I call the mechanic, drive the car to him same day, chat for 15min, then he is finished. Around 120€ if I need new wheels, just 40€ if previous season ones are still good.
Every so often a bit bigger service is needed (if exhaust needs to be replaced or something else). In this case the car stays at mechanic over weekend, maybe max 4-5 days if he needs to order parts he doesn't have in stock.
Average it's less than 400€ yearly and less than a week of downtime in total per year.

Differences between some of them are rather extreme, especially Prekmurje dialects feel like their own language - so we need to fallback to "book" Slovenian when talking with people from different regions.
Largest parts I had to replace so far were exhaust (60€ for part) last year and exhaust hatch (I don't know if that's the correct english term for that, 80€ for part) this year. Brake pads I had to change twice so far, but it was also pretty cheap.
With my mother I have a joke that rebuilding my clio from scratch would probably cost me less than tire change on her merc.
The only annoyance I have with it is that it's eating through light bulbs at annoying pace, since electricity in the older clios tends to be a bit funky. But okay, that's a 5min change usually.
Problems in it are a bit tough to chew through though.
Easiest to start will be either Linear Algebra done right by Axler or Linear algebra done wrong by Treil - try both, they take very different approaches to introducing the subject, so one of them may be compatible with you.
After finishing either of these I heartily recommend you Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces by Halmos - it's way more abstract, so I cannot recommend it as first introduction to LA, but it proves its results in very beautiful and a bit uncommon way. It's probably my favourite book from undergrad.
Certain menus were not being properly translated when switching languages in the app. You know what they say about menus — they’re most helpful when you can read them.
Now at 15 years and 200k km still running strong, with less than 300€ service costs yearly.
The next car I am going to buy is probably going to be older than my current one.
For "real" unplaned emergencies I had in total like 5min of downtime last year, when some other router died.
Loving that German logic that even emergency maintenace has 2-week notification.
As you progress learning resources sadly get more and more expensive indeed. Not to mention the cost of tournaments (travel and accomodation expenses add up very quickly).
IQP is, if you ask me, bread and butter of chess and should be introduced to begineers way earlier than it tends to be. Plans for both sides are clear and thematic (consequently less memorization in opening is needed), it's imbalanced and based on piece play (consequently tactics and calculation) more than on abstract considerations.
Here at least it's easy to see why though: 20-30 years ago most of service staff went to catering vocational schools (and work as server was seen as reputable career), while today majority of serving work is done by part-time students (and work in service is seen as deadend job).
Basically I put a Vagrantfile in src folder, then run docker compose with db, caddy, app server and other services inside it - then I forward ports 80 and 443 from vm and use localhost.whateverdomain.igot with self-signed cert on caddy (since https is just enough different than http that I otherwise get bitten by bugs every so often).
When I start a new project I can usually just copy the Vagrantfile with minimal changes.
