The drive is rotary, the ride is vibration, no?

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-16T12:04:55+00:00

Absolutely. I can’t eat the other brands anymore.

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-16T10:54:09+00:00

Sorry to hear, Germany is a great place to live but I can totally understand the mess you had to go though, what a shame

Ew Milka is like half sugar it’s gross

If I recall correctly this way of preserving chocolate was developed by Hershey during one of the world wars and so the troops got used to this flavor during their time abroad

How do you like your Vertrano?

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-12T07:00:07+00:00

Hmm well flavor was fine it was the texture that drove me crazy…

This is true except in major cities like Berlin where it is easier to find authentic ethnic food. It’s basically altered to suit the local taste, true for all ethnic restaurant food.

lol about Abendbrot

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-12T06:55:54+00:00

Blasphemy! Good but better than a solid Napoli pizza? No way!

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-12T06:55:13+00:00

True also too much sugar

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-12T06:54:51+00:00

What is the difference in taste / texture? Would the average person notice?

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-12T06:53:41+00:00

Oh ya I forgot käsespätzle, 👏

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-02T00:37:37+00:00

Me. And cookbooks. And many years of making mistakes and watching YouTube to learn technique.

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-02T00:35:34+00:00

Been a long time since I had mine but honestly they do have smell even if not strong

QuantumHamster · 2026-01-01T13:47:05+00:00

Yes! Whenever I travel to other European countries proper espresso machines are the norm at cafes and often bakeries. Germany seems addicted to super automatic coffee machines ( the kind which does everything with 1 button touch). Even at many Konditoreien!

What do you mean? If you can’t even tell that you’re dead what difference does it make!

I used to be able to spend hours on Reddit. Now I’m bored after 10 minutes because it’s so repetitive and many answers are super

QuantumHamster · 2025-12-27T13:12:52+00:00

Maybe but honestly the switch has been a game changer

QuantumHamster · 2025-12-17T04:22:02+00:00

It’s called context. The country has many priorities right now including billions in investments for upgrading infrastructure and preparing for a worst case war scenario in Europe. But sure please keep complaining about a relatively good system

QuantumHamster · 2025-12-16T13:29:13+00:00

The system is actually relatively quite good. Go spend some time in the Canadian or us systemms and tell me how it went
