I have commited the Num-Code for ™ to muscle memory.

Other interests include bicycles, bread making and DIY. I do own a 3D-printer and adore the Nintendo 3ds.

  • Rural Germany. Christmas time still starts in December/1st advent for me, although some houses have wintery decorations up the day they remove the Halloween ones, and the city has made some preparations for the coming Christmas markets today. Christmas markets are where people go buy Glühwein/mulled wine in a Christmassy atmosphere, a hot drink just tastes better in cold weather than in one's house (we drink it there as well, of course, can't enjoy Christmas sober).

    Advent traditions include an advent wreath, which is still really Christian in nature, and advent calendar, which has become entirely commercialised around toy brands and chocolate.

    The gift giving and the first proper look at the tree is done on Christmas Eve's Evening, after the religious members of the family went to Church. That evening we eat either raclette or hot pot/Chinese fondue, the other meal then a week later at Silvester. We have started to eat a locally sourced Christmas goose on Christmas day recently.

  • No idea why this is the 3rd time this has come up now, but I just learned this year that an anti "barney the dinosaur" webpage is among the oldest still active ones, where you can shoot and stab him.

    Hate for children's media for being... for children has really come a long way. Now we hate them for legitimate reasons, like peppa pig for being bloody monarchists and Bluey for being Australian.

  • Das habe ich tatsächlich schon mal gehört. Statt 1 10 mal so großes Atomkraftwerk zu bauen soll es machmal besser sein, 8 kleinere zu bauen, damit die Expertise des Baus nicht verloren geht, sobald das nächste gebaut werden muss. Ineffizienz extra einbauen, damit die Fachkräfte eine sichere Beschäftigung haben, für den nächsten Bau vorhanden sind, und statt jedes Mal auf unvorhersehbare Verzögerungen zu stoßen (die Wohlmöglich größte Kostenfalle beim Atomkraftwerk und Flughafen: kurzzeitige Darlehen), beim 8 mal sollte definitiv alles nach Plan laufen können. Und dann kann man wieder große Werke bauen können. Wirtschaftlichkeit mit der Brechstange würde Ich es nennen, aber eine Logik ist sicher dahinter.

    So ganz nebenbei, dass eine karrierelange sichere, vom Staat garantierte Anstellung wohl kaum die Fachkräfte so effizient wie beworben macht: Wie genau kommt Söder aber darauf, dass das ohne Subventionen auskommt? Das Ziel vom Minikraftwerkprojekten ist, eine verlässliche Atombaufirma zu haben, das ändert dann aber auch nur die Wirtschaftlichkeit zukünftiger Bauten in dann etwa 30 Jahren. Alle dazwischen arbeiten aber immernoch mehr oder minder unter heutiger Wirtschaftlichkeit, eher minder weil kleinere Reaktoren ineffizienter sind.

    Vergib mir, wenn ich dan doch "Innovationsoffen" sein möchte und nicht die Investitionen der nächtesn 35 Jahre in eine einzige, in dieser Art unbewiesene Energiequelle stecken möchte.

  • I was thinking of Emperor Xuanzong, who abolished it in 747, but Wikipedia also lists Emperor Shōmu of Japan as an earlier example in 724. But the source to both is some book I don't own, and most websites don't seem to mention anything about that, so this other website on Tang Emperor Xuanzong will have to do.

  • Tang dynasty China has you beat by a millennia. Yeah it didn't stick, but neither did independent Tuscany.

  • That doesn't change anything?

    You said you use the formal you more than Germans, but less than the "German speaking world". It's a bit weird to use that phrase to mean "any German speakers except Germans" I think, especially in the way you wrote it.

  • We use the formal you much less.Informal you is more common in other places

    "The "you" we use here is neither formal nor informal, but a secret third thing."

    No but seriously, what did you mean to say? Germany make up roughly 8/10 German speakers, so "most of the German speaking world, except Germany" doesn't really mean anything to me.

  • If we continue to call people names after very poor communication causes some backlash, we might as well give up on the whole community.

    Like come on, the OP's PS in this comment for example is a bit late. The comment reads as "I wouldn't use it if I didn't have to, same as generators" and OP reply still couldn't write anything reassuring and instead they wrote so bad it implies he should just move. These people are not "car oilcels" just because they didn't study Urban planning and/or know what you meant to say but didn't!

    I don't know about where you live, but the average driver here just needs to know 3 things to be fuckcars supporter:

    • If you can easily use another form of transport, you should use it so the road is clear for people who must drive (bc driving sucks if roads are full, but every driver knows this already)
    • The government is doing too little to get people to use public transport and E-bikes
    • The government is subsidising car use way too much (it can still expensive). People should hesitate, like they sometimes do at big events ("Wait, where will I park?", "Isn't the tram quicker?") at every use, so they really think about what other options other than driving they have, instead of habitually driving everywhere.
  • Restaurant fries and drinks.

    Was on a really tight budget for a time, so I know I can feed myself for a few Euros a day. Going back to fast food restaurants at all still instils some guilt in me, but there is 1 that has unbelievably good prices and I can still appreciate the convenience at times.

    But fries and drinks are just a scam with how big the profit margins are, and not even hard to prepare at home if you're ordering take out or have it delivered (I also don't pay for delivery, my bike is free).

  • As someone who has no stakes in this, is this what people meant when they described her as "Obama 2.0"?

  • It is still an event that is mostly relevant to people living in NYC with little bearing on other US states, despite the media reporting on it as if it was a big deal everywhere. We are just starved for good news.

    Most of the other news stories here affect entire countries or regions. I'll grant you, it is more impactful than Japan sending soldiers to deal with bear attacks, but less than any other world news posts on my page 1. It would probably become world news if he pushes through some of his policies for being unprecedented in the US, though.

  • The problem is the word "internal", someone winning a mayoral election should only be relevant to people of that city. World news should have bigger impacts than potential future city guidelines.

    Kyoto's tourism tax may be world news, who is elected its mayor isn't.

    That said, we are so starved for good news from the US that I confess it was of interest to me, a person not in the US. And it was treated as way more than a regular local election by the media.

  • "ie" ist kein Fehler, ist nur Vergangenheitsform.

  • Tell me American, is it true that in capitalist America hordes of wild pigs can appear from nowhere and kill children?

  • Jaja, und:"keine" mit e am Ende"überwiesen" ohne w hinterm b

    Wen kümmert's, gehobene Rechtschreibung hatten die nicht verdient.

  • Hätte Ich auch machen können, aber nein, ich wollte es ja physisch haben und lokale Unternehmen unterstützen.

    Schlimmer noch, Ich war tatsächlich beim Bahnhof bei der Stelle des überregionalem Unternehmen. Konnten mir natürlich nicht helfen, da das Ticket bei lokalem Unternehmen war, aber ich bekomme noch die Information, dass eine verlorende Karte ersetzen dort nur 15€ gekostet hätte.

  • Ich habe die E-mail schon beantwortet:
