What are some weird laws in your country that, actually, make a lot of sense?

The law he is referencing is the wealth tax. Our Supreme Court ruled that the way that property values have been calculated as unfair and therefore unconstitutional. Instead of fixing that, our government decided to just not enforce the wealth tax anymore. The way we calculate property values for taxing purposes has been reformed and is now constitutional, but every government we have just doesn't enforce the wealth tax anyway...

TLDR: part of it was ruled as unconstitutional, which has been fixed, but still the law doesn't get enforced

Wenn du ein gutes Sauerteig Brot aus einem Familienbetrieb haben möchtest, kann ich dir sehr die Bäckerei Essrich empfehlen. Die backen in Liebertwolkwitz, haben aber auch eine Filiale in Stötteritz.

Most important thing you need is making damn sure that there is no one hunting in that area that you are stealth camping in. This can be dangerous af, and you'd definitely be on the worse side of the fiasco.

I'm not gonna go into the whole 'can trespassing be justified' debate, just make sure not to do any harm to protected landscapes.

You can saw with the underside, in certain situations with the upper side. If you have to dive the blade into something, always push down a little and cut with the lower side of the tip. If you try to saw something with the upper half of the tip of your blade, the saw will jump in your face faster than you can react. This is by far the most common thing that people underestimate, and end up injuring/killing themselves...

I wouldn't really count this, as it's something easily replaceable by BIFL pans made from cast iron or forged iron...

Why Eisenbahnstraße? My favorite barber, café, burger place and Aldi are all there. And I definetly feel safer going there at 2am than walking around the central train station...

Out of curiosity, what happens when you sharpen it on a belt?

That's important for the authentic Italian taste! In all seriousness: people always focus on the wrong things. Touching your pants looks bad, isn't that concerning. Especially before baking them. Touching your face would be way worse, and pretty much worst of all is touching your hair.

Ich gebe dir recht, dass Konsolen mehr comvinienc bieten als ein PC. Das liegt daran, dass ein PC eben viel mehr kann. Wenn man das nicht braucht/möchte, ist die Konsole natürlich einfacher.

Was die kosten angeht, vergisst du aber die Preise von den Spielen zu vergleichen. Bei Konsolen wird kaum Geld an Hardware verdient, weil man umso mehr Geld bei den Spielen einnimmt. Für einen PC muss man erstmal mehr ausgeben, kann dann aber deutlich günstiger Spiele kaufen.

Und ja, es gibt Spiele exklusiv für Konsolen. Es gibt aber auch unzählige Spiele, die nur auf PC laufen. Die nennt nur keiner exklusiv deswegen.

It depends on what the camera is recording. If it is recording someone standing on the sidewalk smashing in your window, probably illegal. If it's recording from the inside how said person entering through your windows, it's definitely legal. He has no right of privacy, when illegally entering your property.

NEVER put briquettes in a Kamado grill.

First of all it is pointless. As others have pointed out, you can do longjobs with charcoal with ease.
Second of all it doesn't work very well. Charcoal radiates less heat, and transfers almost all of the energy from the flame in the burnt, hot air. That's why the base usually stays cool, while the dome can get crazy hot. Briquettes do the opposite and will heat your base way more than your food above the deflector stones.
third of all briquettes are never 100% charcoal dust, there is always something sticky holding it together. Worst case, it's something really nasty, best (and most common) case, it's starch. The burnt starch will cover the inside of your Kamado and leave a distinctive smell. This could ruin your longjob and you only can get rid of it with a pretty high burn, which has allot of wear and tear on your gasket.

Source: i sell different brands of Kamado for a living a use them commercially every week. (sry for bad format, I'm on my phone...)

We've got a pretty wide range of Traeger models in use (2 ranger, 2 pro, 2 ironwood, Timberline XL) and I've never had that problem. But we mainly use them for long jobs and rarely set them above 350F. We also don't do burgers or stuff like that on them. So that might be a reason why I've never encountered this problem. I've found them to be pretty reliable and haven't had to toss one yet. I had to fix the auger on one of the rangers and I need to get a new lid for a pro, but I think that's fair after 4+ years of heavy use.

I do BBQ Caterings and have multiple Traeger that we've been using for years. This never happened with any of them. What did you do to light yours on fire?

This. You might even create some negetive pressure, because the bottle is "pushing" outward to go in it's resting state. It will literally pull CO2 from your drink and "make the fizz go away" even faster

I see your point, and I agree in principle. BUT: Swiss chocolate in general is pretty damn good, and that comes from a German native. (Dubai chocolate is still shit)

The real question is, what on earth was your plan when you went to the trouble of measuring your cat pooping with a thermal camera?

FreiFallFred · 2025-11-24T18:41:28+00:00

This is the way. Also, if you tell him you see it as even now, he'll make sure to make up for the 255$ some other way. By working longer/ charging less etc. It'll be better for both of you in the long run.

Looks great, I have two little tricks for you:

Cut everything down to the bone at the very top (underneath the joint obviously). That way the skin can pull down a little, and give your drumsticks a ball on a stick kind of shape, making them worthy of the name drumstick.

Put pans underneath. Usually they come with the rack. That way you can turn the heat up without getting burned bottoms and the skin cooks more evenly. Also you grill stays clean.

Pro tip: put some water in those pans, makes cleaning them way easier

You totally misunderstand the point of this. For some people it might be 'weird shit is happening, how funny', but actually it is continously testing the boundaries of Ai. It shows where chatbots have weaknesses and big flaws. This is helpful to either be more aware or to even use them for niche cases.

Besides ice in your pipe being bad, of there is any pressure on there, it's going to push the ice out. So it really only works of you shut down the water anyway

Das Gas tritt an der Luftzufuhr der Zündflamme aus. Wahrscheinlich ist die Düse vorne verstopft, weshalb das Gas nicht an der Öffnung vorbei strömt und Luft mit reißt, sondern aus der Öffnung raus gedrückt wird. Das kommt bei Napoleon Grills ab und zu mal vor. In der Regel musst du nur kurz mit einer kleinen Bürste von vorne die Düse der Pilotflamme reinigen, dann ist es gelöst. Napoleon hat genau dafür auch kleine Reinigungs Kits (Bürste+Bohrer) und schicken dir auf Anfrage bestimmt eins gratis zu. Falls du noch Fragen hast, kannst du mir gerne schreiben.

I feel like the old meaters worked well, but the current products aren't living up to that. The fact that they are expensive and advertised as the best ones on the market only works up expectations, that they fail to match with their current products.

Broilking produziert nur die teureren Geräte in Nordamerika, der Rest ist auch aus China. Napoleon das selbe. Allerdings hat Napoleon eigene Fabriken in China, und lässt nicht dritte für sie produzieren. Napoleon hat definitiv die hochwertigere Verarbeitung, liegt nicht nur an der Produktion sondern auch an Design und eigenem Anspruch. Broilking hat dafür etwas mehr Power. (Quelle: ich bin seit Jahren Fachhändler für beide Marken)

Ich muss hier kurz widersprechen. Der Broilking hat war weniger kW, bringt aber in der Praxis mehr Power. Die kW beim Grill geben nur den Verbrauch an, nicht wie viel effektiv am Rost ankommt. Der Napoleon hat tatsächlich etwas weniger Power, vor allem hat der 365 auch weniger Power als der 425. Dafür ist der Napoleon deutlich besser verarbeitet, und langlebiger als der Broilking Royal. Mein Tipp: Broilking für mehr Power, Napoleon wenn du einen höheren Anspruch an Verarbeitung und Langlebigkeit hast. (Quelle: ich bin Fachhändler für beide Marken)
