No, this is from Bruce Springsteen's video 'Dancing in the Dark'.

I agree: likely AI. 'Vierbeiniger Freund' is sometimes used in GER. While a bear has a 'Pelz', a dog has a 'Fell' in German. That's why 'pelziger Freund' sounds off to native speakers.

Wenn Sie wirklich glauben, dass BIP und Qualität des amtierenden Wirtschaftsministers korrelieren, dann möchte ich Ihnen gerne eine Brücke verkaufen.

Haben Sie vielleicht noch etwas differenziertere Kritik als Schlagwörter wie "Totalversager" zu bieten.

'Mountbatten' is not a lot less German as it is a translation of the original 'Battenberg'. 'Mountbatten' was introduced during WWI, if I remember correctly.

Auch Robert Habeck hat nicht immer bella figura abgegeben. Grüne Politik wurde schlecht verkauft und nicht selten wurde am Wähler vorbeigeredet. Habeck mag mehr Integrität als viele andere haben, aber auch sein Haus trug zur Kakophonie der zerbrochenen Koalition bei.

Der November muss eine Erfindung der Antidepressiva-Industrie und der Psychotherapie-Lobby sein.
Es kann sonst keinen Grund für diesen elenden Monat geben…

The Times' artful wording has naturally Raised An Important Question, namely: What precisely did the White House communications director call me to dissuade me from contacting Stephen Miller directly?

I once saw a dog tied to a pipe in the stairwell of a university bldg, housing R&D labs and an outpatient clinic. The dog owner, an older lady, was uncooperative. Leaving the dog outside (as hospital hygiene rules mandate)? Not possible, and besides, I am a patient who goes through a hard time.

Thought the same thing.

The degree of lawlessness on NYC streets is astounding.

Same here. Never heard about the 'biology' category before and the other two categories were bridges too far.

We - ie my wife - regularly cook a pumpkin quiche. It contains lots of eggs and gorgonzola. The cheesy, creamy saltiness goes great with the fruitiness of the pumpkin.

While pipetting away in a Boston lab, the local NPR station WBUR constantly mentioned their sponsor, 'the Autobahn Society'. It took me a while to find out that the announcers butchered the French name 'Audubon' to the greatest extent possible.

Did you cook something with the contents?

1) Wear that Japanese outfit from the photo shoot that made you look respectable, yet just the right amount eccentric.

2) Limit Bluesky postings to three per day to boost productivity.

3) Stock up on beverages for the after-show celebration.

Oh, so for a change, you're the one stuck in the last century. Interesting.

I had a few doctors I wanted to go medieval on. No test results, no one looking at results... You don't want to know what happens to patients who can't speak up and who have no one to do it for them. I shudder.

Sounds to me like you're gonna get a voucher for a local computer shop for Christmas.

McAfee sold my 83-yo dad virus protection until 05/2033. They're very bad with e-mails and their hotline staff - Bulgarians working remote - have sometimes poor connections. On 3rd try, a friendly guy helped me.

I second that. I assembled a new desktop a few years ago that's still perfectly fine for my office needs. The problem? The Ryzen processor I bought was not deemed acceptable by Microsoft a few years later for the new Windows. No support or new computer is the decision I face.

The fridge from the 40s might have still done its job, whether its energy use was comparable to newer models is another question.

You got a point regarding classic design. Smeg successfully produces fridges combining classic looks and bright colours. Why should a fridge look boring?

You're right, it isn't. My hometown Berlin also has no Krampus tradition whatsoever.

During the 90s, I saw the Dolphins play at Olympiastadion, but I don't recall their opponent. I was also a regular at Radrennbahn Schöneberg where the Adler used to play.

If the NFL is smart, they'll support amateur American football in GER to some extent. They need to grow a sound fanbase.
