Wait, has something changed in the speed an atomic war would take place in the last 40 years? When I was a teenager in the 80s I could be vaporized from one moment to the next.

We had fucking autobahns and bridges mined with tactical nucles so they could be blown up in order to stop a conventional army.

Maybe fatalism is what you get being a teenager in the 80s living right next to the Iron Curtain.

Yes, I agree, so as Vlad learned even if you leave them on the ground and put tires on them so they don't fly off, something might come along and successfully migrate around 40 of them to the cloud.

For the F35 unfortunately a lot of its capabilities seems to be cloud based. (At least for maintenence, I don't know of on the air).

That's why I'm angry my stupid government still has wants to buy the stupid things instead of sitting this generation out and going to an own 6gen aircraft.

Fun fact, some LED candles just use such a cheap chip connected to a LED instead of a speaker, so they'll flicker... they'll flicker the song all along.

Right, they are "end of speed limit". So, if there's speed limit signs you'll find another speed limit or this "end of limits" sign afterwards. This doesn't mean "go qs fast as you want", it just means there's no additional limit on top of what the road type says.

So if it's a road where ongoing and incoming traffic is just divided by road markings, the limit is 100 (or below if there are speed limit signs), if the road has two halves with some barrier in the middle ("baulich getrennte Fahrbahnen") and at least two lanes per direction the recommended speed is 130 with no hard limits. (But the insurance might get back to you if you were driving tooo fast)

Btw interestingly while we may drive really fast we have a law against racing your car (including racing to the next stop light), if you do that you might lose your driving license and not get it back for a looong time. (And that's really expensive)

Last, if you do traffic violations which are more than a misdemeanor (for example tailgating) and they catch you, your license will be suspended for at least a month, but typically more.

Interestingly minor violations like being up to 20kph too fast outside of city limits is. among the cheapest all over Europe. But do something bad and you'll ride a bike for a few months.

Edit: thank you autocorrect for correcting so if to son of.... now everyone knows what a filthy mouth I am.

Signs are quite visible. Around here (Munich) most of the Autobahn speed limits are electronic signs anyways, which can be turned off or on set to a limit between 60 and 120 due to traffic or weather conditions. *

"Normal" speed limits signs are being repeated every 30 seconds or so, google. maps also shows the limit while navigating and a lot of newer cars detect the signs as well and show the current limit on the speedometer.

Current cars must play a warning sound (by law) each time you exceed the limit. (You may turn the warning off for the current trip)

• btw there's one electronic sign per lane on a "bridge - like" construction and here in Bavaria they include mounting points for speed trap cameras.

If I'm going really fast I may give people who are just sitting on the left lane a single flash when I'm still quite far away so they are aware I'm closing in.

Going fast is only possible on a quite empty road anyways.

With a trailer you're limited to 80kph (or 100kph im some cases)

And police is setting also setting up "distance traps" on the Autobahn, you can get a ticket (or even lose your license) for tailgating.

I just googled for "flat pasta strainer", as the one I have was a present from my dad and I don't know a brand or name.

I grabbed this pic from Amazon to show the strainer. It's not how I cook pasta. Tbh probably every Chinese product is being shown with a sloppy photoshop pic, nowadays.

I have one of these:

I love it, much better than a normal strainer.

(And it doesn't take a lot of space in the drawer or dishwasher)

I'm currently still playing it - just because I got it on PSN. I'm not at all into the Harry Potter lore, ok one boring weekend I watched the films and they are OK - but it's not my kind of topic at all.

So as a non potter fan: The game is absolutely beautiful, combat is ok I agree but all those side quests are not creative, they are frequently boring - as in many meh open worlds. (I enjoy open world, Witcher 3, Horizon - much better)

I think Legacy had better followed a system like the modern God of War, where the story drives what you can access.

Because it's so beautiful I explored the full map as soon I had a broom, so no there's no sense of wonder having the story play in a new part of the map.

Having played far cry, I started taking out camps just for fun early - as soon you can get invisible you can just cheese a lot of the enemies. All that combat feels disconnected from the story, they could have just left it out.

Learning new spells in class is like cool on one hanf and feels like one of my nightmares where I'm back in school on the other. The tasks you need to complete for each, come one collect a potion buy some stuff - didn't they have better ideas.

Probably a lot could have been made out of the school situation with all the shenanigans between pupils, but the game is so fucking politically correct they won't even play pranks on each other.

We're the teacher's pet. Yaaawn. What about being on a mission while everyone sees you as a no good troublemaker?

Still overall a really OK game, but not great.

Haha, already there. I canceled my Netflix a year ago or so after the amount of cheap self produced stuff got too much and they removed more and more older quality content.

Now, whenever I want to stream I sign up for a single streaming service for a month or two - but the time where I was just subscribed all the time is over.

Ah one reason also was the sharing crackdown, I had kept the subscription long term as my kids used it when they were at my place or my ex-wife's. Nowadays it doesn't work anymore as (for example) the TV my son has at the ex-wife's place never is connected via my internet.

With added commercials, less quality etc streaming got less attractive. Hey, nowadays I regularly go to movie theaters, again.

And if things get worse, somewhere I still have my captain's hat and the wooden leg for sailing the seven seas...

That went deep, quickly. I absolutely agree we all have good and bad, black and white or whatever you call it tendencies inside. Whenever we ignore our dark part, it acts unseen, unchecked.

By accepting that we're just human, just animals, we have desires, we can at least - I don't really have good words for this - at least feel and take care in the harm we can't or don't want to avoid to do.

Was zum fick.

Given that most Satanists just make fun of religion, how do you call people who're really believing in Satan?

Christians

Wosn?

When I was a kid, it was forbidden to peruse DHMO during class, regardless how bad the withdrawal symptoms were.
