Ach darum habe ich so ein Ding von meiner Oma geerbt. Ich habe mich immer gefragt, warum jemand so etwas für zu Hause kaufen sollte. Andererseits haben wir natürlich auch eine Olivengabel, also …

Wem sagst du das? Vor zwanzig Jahren hatten wir noch vier verschiedene in der Stadt.

Gute Buchhändler gibt es allerdings nur noch so selten, dass sie einem da auch nicht weiterhelfen können. Die nächste unabhängige Buchhandlung bei mir in der Region liegt 80km entfernt. Sonst gibt’s nur Thalia und ähnliches.

Man muss Infantino ja lassen, dass er ganz genau weiß, wie er von Trump alles bekommen kann was er möchte. Er kennt sich eben aus, in der Korruption.

Einige der altkatholischen Kirchen haben das Frauenordinariat - und doch sicher auch Personalmangel.

Dieser Verband war schon immer ganz rechtsaußen, da gab es eigentlich nie eine Distanzierung von der AfD

He wants the war to end and doesn’t care how. He wants to be seen as a peace- and dealmaker and doesn’t care about the details. He also respects Putin because he is what Trump wants to be. At the same time, however, it’s easy to sway Trump in any direction if you talk to him in person. He’ll accept your opinion as his own until one of his aides tells him otherwise.

It can be even funnier. I’m an atheist, but I go to church regularly with my wife. Some weeks ago the priest read that part of the bible - and everyone turned their head, looking at the stands in the back of the church where they were going to sell fair trade products later that day.

I think it’s worth mentioning that the games got a fully fledged prequel with “Thief: The Black Parade” in 2023. It’s a total conversion mod of Thief 2 that is so well made that it’s basically a new game. I can really recommend it. I think I even liked it more than the base game

I’ve written my doctorate thesis on parts of the history of dental medicine. I think it’s amazing how little has actually moved since the 18th century. We’re even reviving methods from the early 20th century that were thought to be bogus, because we’re just finding out they might actually work. Every few years someone invents a “perfect” new material that can’t win against the established materials because it’s too expensive, takes longer to apply or needs too much retraining. Oh and evey mercury amalgams are still widely used, even in developed countries.

Funny, that’s almost the standard text my company uses for auto replys. It’s something like “your e-mail is not going to be forwarded and not going to be read until I return”.

That said, many employees read e-mails during their holidays, probably because they are curious.

Den Endgegner nicht vergessen: morgens ab 8:30 geöffnet. Damit man auch nicht vor der Arbeit hin kan.

It’s been ages since I played it, I don’t remember that it gets better. I should have listened to the reviews back then, because they all said that it was generally very easy and might bore more experienced players.

Ja, das klingt logisch. Leider kann so etwas heute nicht mehr passieren.

Sehr sonderbar, dass sich das so eindeutig durchsetzen konnte. Die letzten Olympiaden haben die Steuerzahler der jeweiligen Länder doch Milliarden gekostet. Besonders in Brasilien ist die neu gebaute Infrastruktur danach völlig nutzlos verrottet.
