It makes me laugh every time that the Nazis' Glorious Germanic Heritage of the Aryan Masterrace Ancestors Fraktur script turned out to have been created by Jewish printers and they went "Nevermind, forget it" then choose Anti

Not trying to counter your main point but the biological wolf analogy is quite close to the author's point. The wolf population development has been known to exceed every prediction in Western Europe, and while it's fairly inoffen

There are in a lot of EU countries sets of laws to integrate gypsies, but it's a hard problem, e.g. schooling kids who move town every three months. I think the gypsies he's referring to might be a particular set of organised begg

Didn't they elect the Kaiser until 1806?

France in German is Frankreich, the Frankish Reich. But no Kaiser here, though we had an imperator at some point.

Talking about Vlachs, Welsch is a derogatory noun for Romance language speakers around the French-German border.

Pissaladière (classic dish from southeastern France) is sometimes said to come from old garum-like recipes (the Roman functional equivalent to Asian soy sauces).

Research on this topic has been very active since the late 2000s (before that scholars on the topic had been very few). It seems that the scale of the migrations are much better understood now (100k-300k people over 3 centuries). But as you

There are Germans from Slavic / protoslavic descent in North-Eastern Germany aside from the small Slavuc speaking minorities. Some location names and family names (Wend, Wenden, etc) are very telling in this regard. I like this direct

>It’s like how peasants used to say that the King is a divine representative of God, because that was the king and the system’s con job back then, to make the dumb peasants obedient through religion. Well no one really knows because most

Probably Georgia as a political entity, Armenia, Cambodia and Vietnam as nations probably. I know other examples of relative ethnic stability: most of Northern Europe broadly has the same ethnic geographic boundaries as 1500 years ago (exce

English, Welsh and probably some kind of Scottish ethnicity are probably a thing. DNA + history + cultural habits including language. But on this topic the concept of German ethnogenesis is very interesting. The formation of Gothic identity

Half of Italy was ethnically Greek / Hellenized (Kai tu teknon!).

Well we've got to define something ... I'd opt for something like Latium natives of 750-300 BCE, adding Etruscans. My point is to exclude Magna Graecia, because it would make it harder to make an ethnocultural statement or conclus

Just like every operator promises 95%+ national LTE/5G coverage (they have legal obligations in this regard), but somehow your particular village or town in the lower Alps or in Brittany has shitty data rates for some reason, despite t

I've been looking for this. Tcl apps are hard to run today when you're not a dev. Like the wonderful Grimm dictionary compiled into a TCL app ages ago by a German Uni.

They are. A related example is criminal gangs tageting gun owners in France after the dataleak at the sport shooting federation. This one has been well covered. There have been a few hundred targeted robberies (on old people mostly) and one

The Economist was recently citing hydrogen as "deep tech" [1] (meaning long R&D cycles, sometimes unproven techniology no short term profitability, heavy investment, industry-wide transformative power). Most of your sources ha

Federation can feel like "just a feature" but the E2E encryption (also in group chats) is a reason for Matrix to exist and a big reason why it's so slow.

Well there's always Matterbridge. If you don't have complicated workflows to replicate (and even then) you can just replicate to XMPP, Nextcloud or whatever.

I travel mostly by high speed train over very long distances and I fail to see it making more economical sense than air travel, even with taxed kerosene. The costs of a high speed line are on the scale of 30 millions euros per km, with main

The EU law applies, but companies get out of it by: - encouraging you to take multiple tickets (so you can't claim compensation on the whole trip and becaise of missed transfers). - saying it's not their doing (DB specialty). - in

Same, I was luckily just above the 1500 km threshold and got 400€, 3 hotel nights reimbursed (3 stars but 4 stars might have been ok), restaurants bills paid (beer included), a free replacement ticket , made new friends and visited museums.
