Must be the church St. Pancratius, built somewhere between 1100 and 1120.

The second-oldest building here is probably the remains of the castle of the poem “The castled crag of Drachenfels” by Lord Byron.

“Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel” (Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella). It runs at least a dozen times around each Christmas since I was a kid, and is part of the usual Christmas habits.

When I was young and healthy enough to use a bike, I went shopping with a trailer for my bike. It was fully capable of transporting 60 kilograms of stuff. Was a bit tough at the end of the trip when the road went uphill at the end, though.

LG recently had a nice set of stripped-down-to-monitor TVs, i.e. TVs without that “smart” crap. Available in TV sizes, but none of the junk that spouts ads or intrudes into your privacy.

Well, yes, that was the goal from the very beginning. Pol Pot would be so proud of Nethayaho.

The local discounter had a cheap set of Velcro cable ties in assorted colors. I bought a bunch, and now all USB C cables have yellow ties, and USB B Mini have red ones.

Loss of security of employment, thus security of water, food, clothing, shelter, sleep, and defense for self and children, is not a humane punishment.

Here, at least, suspending a license is done only when a driver has definitely shown that he or she is a danger for other people. For somemone going through a school zone with 90km/h or driving completely drunk, I care more for the actual or potential victims of the driver than the drivers’ ease of transport.

Thanks!

OK, that sounds like a very American problem. They don’t suspend a licence just for fun in my country.

Take away that car and auction it off. It’s the only way people learn. If it isn’t hers, well, tough luck if someone made it available to someone without a licence, and paying it back might teach her a lesson.

Even without that option, if a license is suspended, it usually is for a reason. And more often than not the reason is that the driver is not safe for the environment. The risk of losing whatever is dear to them if they lose the licence is a something that should have been taken into consideration before whatever lead to the suspension.

One should add, they were willing victims of that campaign. We all remember what kind of senseless dribble they amplified that could have been discarded as false after a simple google search.

As a German, I endorse go looking where we put the fence we removed in 1990 and set it back up. They had 35 years to learn democracy, and completely failed.

Of course store-bought ice cream is soft. Have you noticed that they sell ice cream by volume and not by weight? They just add some more stabilizers, and basically “blow up” the mass with Nitrogen. Every liter of Nitrogen is a liter of ice cream more sold. Basically profit from the air. It is hard to get a cheaper ingredient except maybe water. And that is a bit harder to conceal.

Luckily, I was not ingrained by my first programming language like that, or my coworkers would strangle me.

I started with BASIC, which allowed only two letters for variable names…

Cluster migraines.

Indeed. If you have a miracle cure to fix that, feel free to apply it.

For people in the cities, no problem. Outside, abolishing cars before you even think of creating viable means of transport is putting the cart before the horse.

No, it is what they get paid for by the Russian propaganda department.

You’re so tied to the thought of a driving commute you can’t even imagine anything else.

I am not tied to a driving commute. The point is that for a lot of people, a commute by public transport or bike simply is no viable alternative. As long as you dwell in the city center 99% of your life, you will not encounter this, but outside the city, public transport is a joke.
