Senna. I care not for formula 1 or any other racing but that was amazing. Brilliant music too. I always think it’s the best documentary I’ve seen because of how little I care for the subject topic and how much I got from the movie. The guy was just really cool and the film makers told his story so well.

No they haven’t, if you go outside you might even see some!

It also wins on tastiness! I’m my book anyway. Crispy fried duck. Peking duck. It’s basically all brown meat. Delicious.

What’s meant by “not much is done by the city for this corner”? It’s not a “corner”. It’s a big junction in a very large and populated neighborhood. I don’t consider it a ghetto around there, actually it’s expensive to live near there. The junction itself has been recently upgraded making it safer for pedestrians and cyclists. Further, most of the Turkish are German citizens. How are the German government forcing people into these neighborhoods?

Does Bürgermeister count as a chain? There are a bunch in Berlin. They are awesome and relatively cheap.

Edit: I see someone’s mentioned it below

I can get psyllium husks in tablet form. No need to mix it with anything.

I’ve also never seen anyone mention it. Also not 3-iron! Of those I haven’t seen from your list I’m adding to mine. Too much obscure coincidence there.

Stranger things have happened. Reminds me of the Bavarian beer riots of 1844.

They should put a vending machine beside all of the signs.

I’m in a city of 4 million and New years Eve is absolute chaos. It also accounts for about 1/4 of the emissions for the year!

To add to that try puzzles, lots of nice games in there. I particularly like flow

Well indeed watching movies helps. How about dodgeball! The best might be some comedy show you’ve seen before in your mother tongue so you even know what’s going to happen. When you get good you notice which jokes they completely change because they make no sense in the other language.

I like to do similar with recipes and songs. Find something I like the sound of and make it then you know all the vocab for cooking related things. With music I find a band I like and listen to an album until I know the words.

Another good one is watching sports in the language you are learning. It’s quicker because you can often infer what words are by knowing what just happened in the match. I find this a bit of a more natural way anyway. I appreciate that may not be easy for every language though.

You can eat the green ones without peeling.

I can fit the majority of my little finger up my nostrils. My nose might be slightly larger than normal and my hands are about normal. It just fits up there with a little twist.

It really helps choosing the things that work best to freeze. For example chicken breasts suck when reheated, it’s the nature of the cut of meat. It’s so easy to dry out chicken breast. Additionally, I never freeze starches unless they are “drowned” in sauce. Freezing a bunch of fries is not going to lead to a nice meal later but freezing a stew which has potatoes in it works. Minced meat is very forgiving, same too with chicken thighs, drumsticks. Anything with a higher fat content and already has sauce.

Good Examples: I’ll freeze Bolognese sauce, no pasta. Cook the pasta on the day. Curries without rice. Stews. Soups. All of these with fattier cuts of meat and with sauce covering the food. Maybe it protects it. All of these can even taste better from the freezer somehow.

Bad examples: lean steak, pork chops, vegetables. Essentially, anything which has to be cooked almost perfectly to be good. Fresh fruits are gonna suck texturally also but they will be absolutely perfect in smoothies, sauces, syrups etc.

That kinda sucks. I’m an odd one myself in that I’m extremely interested in history and as an extension war since it has been a huge part in shaping… Everything. I am simultaneously very anti war politically because of the horrors of course but I do also want to think about strategies etc. Are there any good communities that discuss this without just descending into who’s side people should be on. For example I’m on Ukraine side but I can totally enjoy thinking about the question “what do Russia need to achieve to take region X, why is it important to them, what’s the timeframe and what equipment is needed”. I have read/watched plenty about war strategies up to WW2, maybe a bit of Vietnam etc. Nothing modern really.

Yeah there are already a few splits. The Aldi equator, the Weißwurstäquator.

I think loads of things got better but advertising just got worse and worse. It’s everywhere now. The Internet used to have no advertising. For live sports they have screens on the side of the pitch which constantly change the ads. There are sometimes ads superimposed (computationally) on the pitch grass. Sometimes they make the viewing size of the screen smaller so they can show you an ad around the edge. Or the worst, they just have a banner at the bottom with ads scrolling. Sports jerseys/vehicles etc are more and more cluttered by ads. Obviously the big change in the opposite direction is with streaming vs classic cable but even now streaming is trying to ram ads back in there. As an adult for me Mobile phones have always been available but we’re talking pre Smart phones. Smart phones are just another place that I look that has ads and older phones didn’t have ads. They had shit screens of course but no ads. YouTube, more and more ads. Podcasts, loads of ads, there used to be none.
