Fenstersturz, actually.

Ok, thanks. I studied linguistics for another language years ago, (a language without any ‘th’), so it was a guess. Still no answer of what it is or why it’s used.

Unrelated, but how and why do you use the thorn (or something else?) as th-replacement?

“Grumbern” is the same in parts of Frankonia.

I get that point, but stainless steel also exists.

(Electric) kettle would be the “right” word for Wasserkocher.

Brits and their weird non-compound-words.

Since they shut out Linux players last week. Taking away access to things someone bought, used and can’t use anymore because of something the supplier did could be interpreted as theft.

Ok, thanks for the update. I’m neither a car guy nor a native speaker.

Older (pre 2000) diesel cars needed a few seconds, sometimes a minute to “warm-up” the starter. You had to turn the ignition half way before you actually start the car. That’s the only “warming up” a car might need to function (normal circumstances).

Heard what?

Wasn’t that Reagan? I’m not in the US, so please take this as a genuine question. So far, I’ve heard nothing as bad about Clinton regarding economics.

The Wikipedia article linked on top states that most margarine has moved to lower trans-fats since the turn of the century. It’s probably at least as healthy as butter, if not moreso.

Camilla, maybe as in Princess (?) Camilla, the wife of Charles III.?

Depends heavily on the sub-category of Casio. I have a Lineage (Wave Ceptor?), it’s a great watch for pretty much every day.

Not where this bridge is built. This looks like a German autobahn, so the closest thing to a tiger crossing that is either a lynx or a fox.

I know the type. It’s probably a more aged variant or evolution ot the more party-prone stereotypes.

Contains overdramatization and slight exaggerations

Cheapest flights possible to the cheapest “vacation” island possible. Vacation as in

• drinking until you can’t even pronounce “hi”
• habitual disturbance of locals and other guests
• being fleeced by club owners and everyone else because you have “tourist” stamped on your forehead
• sleeping off the night by the pool and pre-game from midday to evening
• only eating (and drinking) the same stuff as at home, because fuck other cultures who don’t know how to make a kebab/Schnitzel/…
• coming back after 10 days of daze, hangovers and (optional) all-inclusive buffets

Did I forget something?

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I get that reference, but also I’d like to support the statement. I’ve sat on my couch for 2-3 days, frozen peas in my lap and just took it slow. A week later I could barely tell that anything changed.

Inside the motorcycle community, there are two polar opposites: ATGATT (All the gear, all the time), who always brace for the worst and wear the heaviest gear they can find and SQuIDs (Super quick, immediately dead) who go at full speed wearing shorts and sandals. Pick your side.
