I live in Germany, it's how people answer the phone here, often. Not everyone but a lot, no Hallo after, just name.

It's common for German people to just answer the phone with their surname at work. He wasn't being offensive.

What we do in the shadows.

Are we all supposed to know what CHA is?

I posted this on Reddit back in the day. Use a plastic bag if you don't have the right plunger. Bad for the environment, good for unblocking clogs. Stick a toilet brush inside the bag, a bit of air is good. Secure the top with an elastic band or whatever, you can even use the bag handles tied. Shove it in the toilet and use it just like a plunger, the bag should form a full seal at some point, might take a bit of trying/wiggling but the bag will eventually get a seal because it is variable size/volume. If you are not getting the seal you need you can shove your hand in the bag, it's nasty to some people but in honesty there is nothing touching your hand but the inside of the bag. You can force a seal this way. Now pull. Done. No need to call anyone.

2 Guys I know went on holiday, back in the day, disposable cameras etc. Had a great time with two ladies, all sorts happened. Came home, developed pictures, found one with the girls and their toothbrushes up their asses. They say it was a sick prank, knowing one of them well to I'm not so sure....

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

The planet will be fine. WE are fucked, the planet doesn't give a shit about us.

The consent-o-matic add on allows you to autofil the cookie response and when it doesn't work you can report it. The ad on is also funded by the EU somehow, can't remember exactly how. If the add on doesn't work it means their site is not asking the question correctly.

What a happy ending. Some people are really cynical about the Internet these days but it's things like your comment that give me hope.

I meant to reply to the person above you actually, sorry.

I think a lot of Americans, at least in this thread feel like this would be linked with Christian wackos. In Europe we have Christian wackos but they are not the same as the ones you have and are far fewer. It's much more likely that people who hate on a minority are under educated and/or poor. It's also much less of a sides thing, we don't have the Christian wackos (GOP) vs "the rest". Most countries have some sort of proportional representation, so there are Christians in all groups, the Christian wackos are more dilute. That's not to say that they are non existant more that you can't, for example, guess that these people were religious and probably be right like you might in the US.

I'm convinced, the accuracy of the clock matters. Your point that within one minute is on time is fair and as you said converges quickly. Definitely quicker than the life cycle of a regular clock. I'm a convert now.

That's not true. e.g. If a clock loses time as soon as it is started (given power, wound), a time x. Then every day it will be wrong. Now, after n days it will come back around to being correct again. But, if n >> the life of the clock, then no, it will never be correct.

I can think of a few other scenarios where it's also true that it will never be correct.

Stopped clock, a broken clock may never be right.

Do you live in a world lacking empathy? I suppose you were born knowing all words and never learned any. If this person is young or has English as a second language they might not have heard it. Hell if they are old they also might not have heard of it.

Georgian food is amazing. Also tblisi is a really cool city.

Aisle be back!

Germany is the same as Japan in more ways than i could have thought.

I'm Germany too
