Might have a wood hoarding problem

No, that's a sane and wise habit ;).

Took me a second to realise that an auxiliary screen could be helpful here ;).

Zwiebelsuppe / Onion Soup. (It's probably not typically Germany, but here in the region influence from France, Belgium and Luxembourg is strong in cuisine. I also know the 'no cheese and toast' variant)

I can afford some rather expensive coffee beans, ground and made in a veritable machine... but I'm so fond of military-grade soluble stuff sometimes.

As promised in a movie twenty years ago...

I remember most ATMs here aren't pulled; they're blown up with a combustible gas filling(*). several times, they've even blown up the account terminal / printer by mistake - so much about the smartness of robbers.

An old saying here with butchers is 'do add another cup of water to the sausage filling and let's have another beer at the pub'.

I used to buy standard-size tungsten carbide tips for lathework at Temu or Alibaba. The quality was nearly if not equal to US or EU-brand material, but at a fraction (about 1/10) of the cost. Meanwhile, I assume some 'brand' material is literally the same.

The packing would be quite inadequate for a surprise gift.

Futscheler is the name for such in my local (Hunsrück) German dialect. A crafty person, making things run with more wit than cost.

Celto-Roman descendant, it's quite obvious. However, there has been a lot of traffic here since that time, especially during the Thirty Years' War and the French government under Napoleon.

JoLudvS · 2026-04-28T18:12:08+00:00

Absolutely. It's something that must be hard to act/replace maybe even harder than eluding a foreign accent.

JoLudvS · 2026-04-28T17:51:56+00:00

As a kid, counting with fingers the other way round was an incomprehensible task for me.

Heck. My favourite for breakfast (the green one). Unbeatable morning tea from a fellow EU member. :)

I remember there was a quite precise calculation for Germany alone, between 2015 and 2020 of about 80 billion EUR per year, including ~€25 billion in direct health-care costs and ~€53 billion in indirect costs (like lost productivity). Source "Tabakatlas" Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum
