What about “glom of nit” though?

No. Just Istanbul, not Constantinople.

Ich wusste gar nicht, dass Kleinkinder jetzt auch schon Auto fahren dürfen.

Ich hab’s mal ausgerechnet: 43,2 Sekunden braucht man jetzt länger für die 900m. Nicht mal die Dauer einer Ampelphase dafür dass die Leute ein bisschen weniger Lärm ertragen müssen.

Yeah, the stylist looks like “WTF are you doing? Do I come to your job and take photos of you?”

No, I need more empty jars! What else should I put in all those neat empty boxes I collected?

A premade beach hole? No, thank you! We like to dig our own holes, otherwise you miss out on half the fun.

… unless there are not enough teachers, or not enough public pools, or…

The indoor pool I learned swimming closed a decade ago and since then there is no public indoor pool in the city anymore.

I’m a bit sad Rhabarberbarbarabarbarbarenbartbarbierbierbarbärbel doesn’t make an appearance in this.

(Bärbel owns a bar where she sells a special beer to the barber who cuts the beards of the barbarians who like to eat rhubarb cake at Barbara’s (aka Rhubarb-Barbara) bar.)

The civilisation of ancient Egypt lasted 3000 years and now we think of them as a homogeneous group who all built pyramids and wrote in hieroglyphs.

That was kinda my point. If you rely on the fact that your boyfriend or girlfriend understands you well enough that they wouldn’t do a proposal that makes you feel uncomfortable, then them doing something like that might be a deal breaker or at least not an immediate yes. Because it would make you rethink whether they really understand you. But we’re probably getting lost in hypotheticals here. As long as everyone involved in the OP was happy, I’m happy for them.

To be fair — if I talked to my hypothetical pilot boyfriend and agreed I would marry him and then he proposes on a flight he pilots, in front of all the passengers, I might say No no matter what we discussed previously. Because that would certainly make me question the whole relationship.

There can never be a 100% sure while the where and how to propose is still open, since it includes a lot of scenarios that range from uncomfortable to batshit insane.

(I used a website and copy pasted it here. I don’t think the app I’m using, Eternity, has an option for it).

Ich hab ne Weile direkt neben einem gewohnt. Hab die Leerung selten mal gesehen, aber sehr häufig gehört. Morgens viel zu früh für eine Studentin. 1/10 would not recommend.

Edit: Es ist wirklich sehr laut.

Yeah, I mean, he was 30 when he died in 68.
So ironically the most signs of “aging” we would expect to see would be in the first one and a half rows, from age 12/13 to his early 20s. Not from 20 to 30.

My grandma’s recipe for Spätzle (egg-based noodles) is: “You start with the amount of eggs you need for the amount of people, add a bit of water, a pinch of salt and then flour until it has the right consistency.” Her recipe for pancakes is basically the same.

My grandma is very partial to the easily reproducable measures “until it has the right consistency” and “until it has the right colour”. As in “add water until it has the right consistency” or “add milk until it has the right colour”. Nearly all her recipes use them.

Funnily enough the latter is also used by Aperol in their recipe for Aperol Spritz on their bottles. At least they provide a picture of what the “right colour” is supposed to be.

My favourites are:

• Fall of Civilisations
• The Thing About Austen

I would argue that moving things is not the same as changing a distance. If that were the case, then moving an event to a different time or our own moving forward in time would be the equivalent to moving an object through space, meaning we can alter time.

You’re exactly 5 years older than me. What a coincidence!

Grönland hat nicht ganz 57 000 Einwohner. Das reicht nicht mal für eine Großstadt. Ich glaube nicht, dass man da genug Leute für einen Guerillakrieg gegen die USA zusammenbekommt, schon gar keinen langen und blutigen.
