Which in of them is Legolas and which is Aragorn? Been a while since I’ve watched the movies?
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VI is currently free (Epic via Prime) 1 week ago:
Anno 1404 rules and is very playable still. I was never really interested in the series, but that game really got me.

Yes, he understood it.

Since it’s at the beginning of a sentence, it’s correct either way :P
- Comment on Electric motorcycles with solid-state batteries seem to be coming soon. 1 week ago:
Ideal, as in “100 mph tail wind all the way”.
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 1 week ago:
Not totally random. Consistently wrong, with only “Niemcy” out of line.

Gotta love that redneck shit.

- Comment on Students on strike against military service: “You’re not a coward if you don’t want to die for Germany!” 5 weeks ago:
It’s been kinda “opt out” since the 70’s, so you could write a letter along the lines of “I was raised a pacifist and cannot point a gun at anybody” and do non-military service instead. Like in an old folks home or a hospital. If they bring back military service the way it was (until around 2012 I believe?), that’s completely fine I think.

It’s surely a reference to the Dune novels.

It’s a shame that “In The Valley Of Gods” is unlikely to happen anymore.
- Comment on He's on a mission 2 months ago:
I still see (and am blinded by) bikes, electric or not. Some people just don’t realize that the road in front of them should be illuminated, not the apartments on the third floor.

Are they organic?

Revolut effectively blocked me for using custom ROMs on my phones. Fuck them.

I just returned from three weeks of mostly tent camping. Those assholes wouldn’t even let me close the tent door in the morning before landing on my legs.

Altima is not signaling.

What do you mean by “when my BMW is reset”?
- Comment on Choose one before starting the game... 5 months ago:
Köln is indeed special.
- Comment on Choose one before starting the game... 5 months ago:
Those cost increases are not unique to Cologne though. It starts with a cost estimate that’s way below that is highly unlikely to work out, but one that is politically feasible. Then costs increase and often enough, public sector decision makers are inept at damage control when unexpected things happen (which they do) and plans need to be reworked accordingly. Things then get out of hand and construction companies know that shit needs to get done at some point and there’s more money to be made once the child has fallen into the well.
You’re not gonna be able to start a 600 million euro project if you’re honest about it. You say it’ll be 250 million, get it greenlit, and go from there. It’s stupid, but that’s how it works everywhere. I’m not saying that there is no corruption involved, but I don’t think it’s the worst problem.

I’d be curious enough to go there, if I could be sure not to end up another Otto Warmbier.
- Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls... 7 months ago:
Those motherfuckers can be huge, too. The building where I work has a kestrel nest. Last week, there was drama when some seagulls showed up and were apparently trying to kidnap and eat the kestrels’ young ones.
