Little tip for the younger folks reading this: if you are given two contradictory explanations for something, the correct explanation is probably the third one.
This reminds me of the contemporary use of e-bikes in Ukraine, which I understand is one of the many reasons that this war was not the curbstomp Russia seems to have expected.
I mean I don't doubt that it happens, but the swimsuit rule probably cuts down on it. And to be fair, that pool is possibly the sexiest place in Berlin.
The EZ is the keyboard I have. I found that almost harder than getting used to the layout, was the extra pressure that's required, going from using the squishy keyboard that came free with my last desktop machine to something with mechanical switches.
I don't think anyone is holding Ireland responsible for "Irish" pubs. It somehow just became a genre of bar on its own, and it's easy to do in a lazy caricatured way, suitable for someone whose chief aim in owning a bar is rooking tourists: shamrock-based logo, change the name to "O'Whoever's", and have Guinness on tap, good to go.
Then you have other places like my old hangout from 20 years ago, which had a few of the same visual signifiers of Irishness, but the owner being in fact an Irishman, he didn't feel the need to go overboard with that. Hope that place is still open and doing well.
The dome pool is also the one part where you are required to wear a swimsuit. I'm pretty sure the reason is that if you didn't, let's put it like this, that water would become a health hazard pretty quick.
I am also a dedicated worker-from-home, and I know plenty of other people who are smarter than me who work by choice from the office every day.
Even confining the discussion to those of us who logistically can do all of our jobs over the network, I've come to think that there is no single policy that can be applied over an organization that won't alienate a significant fraction of your staff. Organizations that don't find ways to accommodate the whole spectrum of, uh, "work-remoteness" are going to be at a serious disadvantage in the years to come.
My point is not whether the rationale is valid or invalid: the point is, they're not going to do it. Is that wrong, in the ethical sense? Quite possibly. Do they care? No.
Try googling the "Golden Rule" and you'll find a version that says "they who have the gold make the rules".
