If you screenshot this and get it to the frontpage, I will do nothing.
Correct :)
Here in Germany I can get milk that is a blend of soy and oat milk, it's the only one I actually like. But I still prefer real dairy, so I buy organic milk. Which is probably still not cruelty-free but certainly better than the generic stuff.
Or just turn the key. If it's rolling by itself, it's an automatic and currently in gear. Turn off the engine and it'll stop. Key is probably much easier to reach than the foot brake.Handbrake might also work if the car still has a manual one, if it's an electric parking brake then it won't trigger while in gear.
Then they would've needed a bigger engine too since it would've been heavier. It's already difficult enough for them to get going if they accidentally parked on a wad of chewing gum, or the Mercedes behind them at the traffic light has AC on.

Honestly, the boat arc is one of my favourites so far. I love the politics and intrigue. The storylines of HxH have always been a step above other shounen manga.
Oh yeah, noise dampening was also used in nature photography where you wouldn't want the camera shutter sound to spook animals, but today that's also not really required anymore since modern DSLR cameras are quiet enough.
Noise dampening for cameras isn't a new concept, they didn't invent it. Film cameras (as in, the ones that use actual film tape) are inherently noisy and dampening shrouds have always been required to film quiet scenes. They just fell out of use after digital cameras replaced film tape.There's actually a specific name for the shroud, but I forgot.
He's also normalizing make-up for men
That's an alkaline earth metal, not an alkali metal. Very important difference. Alkali metals are the first group (column) in the periodic table of elements, alkaline earth metals are the second group.
It's most likely sodium.All alkali metals react with water like that. They form hydroxides and release hydrogen which then catches fire or explodes. Heavier alkali metals produce stronger reactions.A piece of lithium will burn and boil the water around it, looks a bit like a souped up fizzy drink tablet. Sodium also catches fire and causes little explosions like in the video. Potassium explodes like a firecracker, and a piece of caesium that size will cost you a hand if you aren't careful.
There's not enough windmills around so I guess they had to make do.
I'm not a writer, but definitely an avid reader... with autism and ADHD. And I speak English as a second language. Sometimes I just write in a way that most other people wouldn't. Good grammar and spelling are important to me. I use em-dashes often because otherwise I'd use too many parentheses. I've been accused of chatgpt usage before, even though I don't use generative AI for anything. Never have, never will.
I've been doing that forever because I'm a slob who constantly eats at the desk. This way I don't get my keyboard/mouse greasy and there are fewer crumbs inside the keyboard.
German and British home cooking have a surprising amount of similarities. We even have the same tradition of Sunday roast, just the exact ingredients differ sometimes.
I used to have an old LaserJet 4L with parallel port. I only need to print letters occasionally so a B/W printer was fine. I had it for over 20 years and only replaced the toner cartridge once. When my last computer with a parallel port (a 90s laptop) died, I gave the printer to a friend who collected older tech like that. Got some Epson ink pisser instead which started doing weird shit 2 weeks after the warranty period ended. Currently have no printer, planning to get a Brother laser now.
Hyperbole. Of course the word is sometimes used in other English-speaking countries (mainly by right-wing populists), but not nearly as often as it is in the US.
Ok so. Since the mosquito season is now in full swing, I felt like I should rectify this somewhat, even if 10 days late... it's not going to last for an entire day. It's a solid 6-8 hours of no itching but you'll have to reapply. Also, officially the expiry time is 6 months, but from personal experience it's still perfectly usable after more than a year. If it's very hot in your house/flat, put it in the fridge, because the gel might denature and separate if it gets too warm.
Literally only Americans use that word.
Bagged milk used to be a thing in Germany too, in the late 90s/early 00s. Didn't really catch on, but some super-/hypermarket chains still have it available.
There are antiallergic gels for that. I got this stuff called Fenistil, you put the tiniest possible amount of that on a mosquito bite and it stops itching for the rest of the day. One tube lasts me multiple years.
Depends on if the reddit-scraping Hollywood scriptwriters we're talking about are trying to make a movie specifically about things that happened on reddit, I suppose. Those shock websites like meatspin, lemonparty, tubgirl etc. didn't originate on reddit, some of them are much older. I'm quite sure I was first tricked into visiting lemonparty back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
From what I've seen, Aldi stores in the US are exactly the same as Aldi Süd in Germany. Including cashiers being allowed to sit.
If the smell of one poopy diaper is too much for you, don't become a parent lol.
It's probably not so bad. Drumpf is reportedly a germaphobe, so he probably has better than average hygiene. At worst you might smell when he shits in his diapers.
Let him come to a German football match, the crowd would come up with 23 different diss chants about him in just the first half of the game.
If we observed a monkey hoarding all the available bananas to the point where other monkeys are starving, researchers would conduct a study to find out what kind of mental illness that monkey has.When a human does the same thing, we put them on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine.
Read my follow-up comment too, I already covered that.There is one dude in my neighbourhood who's flying the flag in his front yard. I probably don't have to tell you about his political views. He's really into football too, of course.And culture matters a lot more than you'd think. Even without the nazi period, most Germans would likely be less patriotic than citizens of other countries.
...and that's still including a period of 30ish years that no decent human being would want to be proud of, which is the reason why said decent human beings are reluctant to have strong national pride.We do like football though. To the point where world championships are the only time you will see any major displays of national pride, draping the flag over their car bonnets and whatnot. (2/2)
Germany is a bit different than other countries in this regard. Our sense of home and belonging lies in the region or city where we grew up, not the country as a whole. The area that comprises modern Germany used to be split into hundreds of little nations, sometimes as vassal states of a larger empire, sometimes not. There is no deeply ingrained cultural sense of national pride because our nation as it is has only existed for about 100 years (1/2)
