No, they aren't. Unless you consider storage facilities being at 89% capacity and rising to be "low".

What are you talking about ? We are currently increasing our storage of gas... during the heating season. No big actor, industry or government, so much as thinks it somewhat likely that shutdowns are occuring

Jumping from one baseless claim to the next I see.
German industrial output is up this year, not down. Factories are open full week. There was some panic early on in spring/summer when it was unclear whether Germany would be able to prepare for a winter without Russian gas.
Current forecasts show that Germany will get through winter just fine without rationing.

It’s true that LNG is more expensive. But that is not a problem.

No it won’t. Forecasts clearly show that.
See here the optimistic and pessimistic scenarios of gas storage levels throughout winter that the German government modelled earlier this year in preparation for the winter. These scenarios are in the case of no rationing.
In the pessimistic scenario Germany would have run out of gas by the end of April. In the optimistic scenario Germany would even have still 70% gas left in storage at end of winter.
Current trend until end of December is more positive than even the most optimistic scenario.
See the graph here with the title “Reicht das Gas?”

Do note we had no reason to heat the past week & a half due to a heatwave keeping us at comfy temps.
We literally had no reason to use gas, and as such, no reason to import.

But it Still gets imported, that is why our storage amount is increasing

How much longer will I have to listen to this Russian cope for? Until March? May?

Unfortunately it will probably take Ukraine until the end of 2023 to win this war and beat the evil Russians so I will be able to point out that everything isn’t absolutely perfect until then.
