“Grumbern” is the same in parts of Frankonia.

(Electric) kettle would be the “right” word for Wasserkocher.

Brits and their weird non-compound-words.

Since they shut out Linux players last week. Taking away access to things someone bought, used and can’t use anymore because of something the supplier did could be interpreted as theft.

It syncs with fddb.

The article being from the US, after I read that that woman shoved the bikes to the ground, I was mentally prepared to read that she got shot.

Wildest thing is that the cyclists were on public ground and she doesn’t want them there. Why do you care, lady? Why would someone else stop to berate the cyclists as well? Were they in an ani-cycling cult town?

Somewhat related: every football field indicates a settlement. That map makes me kinda sad.

I’m a recreational cyclist and live in central europe. Breathtaking views of nature (cycling along the Scottish north coast and such) can’t be had with a football field and/or settlement every few kilometres.

The Wikipedia article linked on top states that most margarine has moved to lower trans-fats since the turn of the century. It’s probably at least as healthy as butter, if not moreso.

Depends heavily on the sub-category of Casio. I have a Lineage (Wave Ceptor?), it’s a great watch for pretty much every day.

Actually no. Moped is a portmanteau for Motor-Pedal. It’s a scooter, plain and simple.

Any old racing game would do. Emphasis on “old”, as modern non-arcade racing games are weird to play on keyboard.

Not where this bridge is built. This looks like a German autobahn, so the closest thing to a tiger crossing that is either a lynx or a fox.

I know the type. It’s probably a more aged variant or evolution ot the more party-prone stereotypes.

Contains overdramatization and slight exaggerations

Cheapest flights possible to the cheapest “vacation” island possible. Vacation as in

• drinking until you can’t even pronounce “hi”
• habitual disturbance of locals and other guests
• being fleeced by club owners and everyone else because you have “tourist” stamped on your forehead
• sleeping off the night by the pool and pre-game from midday to evening
• only eating (and drinking) the same stuff as at home, because fuck other cultures who don’t know how to make a kebab/Schnitzel/…
• coming back after 10 days of daze, hangovers and (optional) all-inclusive buffets

Did I forget something?

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I get that reference, but also I’d like to support the statement. I’ve sat on my couch for 2-3 days, frozen peas in my lap and just took it slow. A week later I could barely tell that anything changed.

When he was finally done, he approached us and I said “Hi how are you?” with a smile.

There’s probably the problem. Don’t ask a german “how are you”, they will interpret it as the start of a conversation, not a greeting. You might either get weird looks or a detailled personal and medical history of that person. In food service, you get to the point. A “Excuse me” or “Can we order please” is a way better way to initiate an order.

Inside the motorcycle community, there are two polar opposites: ATGATT (All the gear, all the time), who always brace for the worst and wear the heaviest gear they can find and SQuIDs (Super quick, immediately dead) who go at full speed wearing shorts and sandals. Pick your side.

My thoughts exactly. We’re already two, so there’s a market. Someone exploit our demand!

It would set a precedent for valve just pulling the plug on a game/marketplace. If all your digital collectibles in a game, some “worth” thousands of dollars can’t be accessed/used, everyone would start fire sales on their other inventories.

Of course you have. The Draft has been active from 1954 to 2010.

Draft soldiers of Germany are not allowed to operate outside of our own borders and are used to fill the gaps that stem from professional soldiers working abroad. The Bundeswehr and especially the draftees can only be used for peacekeeping, humanitarian aid and defense.
