As I said, they have cut down on reserves for emergencies, both in regards to material and qualified people ...

I don’t know where the myth of German trains being punctual comes from. Must have originated before my time.

Again: it’s not even the image that is sold. Just a digital owner’s certificate. When I was a kid, you could “buy” patches of land on the moon in much the same way.

It’s not even actually the picture that is bought and sold here. An NFT is just a digital owner’s certificate.

The engine was also used by Opel in the DTM championships. Opel even planned a 444 PS road-legal version, the aptly named Astra OPC X-treme (canned due to the usual GM penny pinching).

Fun fact: the mile has secretly been metric since 1959 ;o)

I think this could be generalized to Fox Celebrity (AE) = Creep (BE/International English)

What I always wonder as an outsider is why y’all “simplified” zed to zee (note same number of syllables) but didn’t bother to simplify the really obnoxious double-u (three fricking syllables – dubya and friends still make two). Why not the obvious we or way (parallels kay)?

Even after more than two years, some people still haven’t understood that it’s not just all about them

By the way, the Nazis used the term Rassenhygiene (“race hygiene”) to refer to the extermination of disabled people and so-called “asocials”. Perhaps another hint ...

How do you define “race”?

How do you define a “race”?

What is a “race” in your eyes? Who decides? You?

The Nazis, somehow, managed to distinguish them anyway. Go figure.
