The super-complicated LIFO example is, unfortunately, a contrived example: “Ich stimme dem Maler, der die Meinung, dass Rot keine Farbe ist, vertritt, zu.” This sentence can be rewritten in German just as in the English translation: “Ich st

I guess that depends on your reasons. I took them to treat my depression after reading about patients being given psilocybin in a clinical setting. For me it was absolutely worth it. The first two times I also did prepare a tea which produc

So, hypothetically of course, if Microsoft subtly let the new Mayor Dieter Reiter know that they will only build their new headquarter in Munich if Windows was to replace LiMux, then what about this could not be considered as Microsoft kill

May be of further interest to German-speaking folks in Munich: there will be a discussion about LiMux on 11th June with former Munich mayor Christian Ude and others. https://www.gruene-muenchen.de/terminliste/termin&#x2

Yes, you could think that old folks are one of the problems, but the extent seems vastly overrated if you look at the most recent study published by Germany's Federal Reserve Bank: "Payment Behaviour in Germany 2017" (only av

That's not surprising. Transaction costs for credit card payments in Germany are higher (2 to 4 percent) than for electronic cash payments (0.3 to 0.95 percent). It's simply not feasible for many sellers to offer credit card payme
