I grew up in a city with one of the best public transport system in the world. That was possible to built b/c what didn’t get destroyed in ww2 was torn down to separate rails from car lanes in the entire system. Not exactly easy to replicate…

This one hasn’t lied yet…

I mean, I'm trying hard to manipulate multilingualism in N = 2 since 13+ years, but "why should I formulate that sentence differently if you know exactly what I mean" is part of the equation since *somebody* found out "yayourt" might not be a word in any language but everyone knows what it means

Maybe the natural state of forks is "absent"? I'm in my 2nd year of buying 10 forks during "fleamarket season" for the tea kitchen. Everything else is constant (more knives than ever needed, just enough large spoons, not-enough-but manageable quantity of tea spoons), but fork numbers keep going down

ich verstehe das insbesondere für Inhalte wie z.b. die Sendung mit der Maus überhaupt nicht: was verliert die ARD wenn Kinder im Ausland die Sendung schauen? Ich würde auch freiwillige GEZ zahlen (tue ich für Netflix ja auch), aber dass ist leider nicht möglich

so it appears batteries got more expensive since we bought our cargo bike in 2019, and (in my anecdotal mini-survey) the driving factors are more mode choice, better infrastructure and seeing others using them successfully

Yes, and the choice of models, but I guess that’s related (nobody will design more cargo bikes if they cost the same as a decently-sized car). size is a huge factor in a city: no way we could have fit the earlier models in the parking space available, they were either too wide, too long, or both

Maybe we could charge postage per email recipient to highlight the wasted work hours spend reading useless filler adjectives (I’m from Swabia, does it show?)

I agree, sadly. What a wasted opportunity!

I didn’t know that a city as un-edgy as Leuven would even be seriously considered, I thought being a bit of a troubled child was one of the requirements…

As its cheese adjacent, according to this video, germans (tbf, the only reason I would not do this is actually they same as for the cheese) : youtu.be/B-WOJzb93lM?...
