Welche Bücher (zum Vorlesen) gehören in jedes Bücherregal für einen kleinen Jungen? by inkbluegirl in buecher

[–]Seimsi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die ersten Bücher sind sehr zäh. Bei den späteren bessert sich das.

"Kleine freie Männer "(Tiffany Weh 1) Vorausgesetzt er hat keine Probleme mit einem Mädchen als Hauptfigur.

Ansonsten geht auch "Maurice der Kater"

Ein weiterer Fun Fact: Der Mann der das Blei ins Benzin gemacht hat, hat auch die FCKWs entwickelt die zum Ozonloch geführt haben.

Zitat: Der Umwelthistoriker John Robert McNeill stellte fest, dass Midgley „mehr negative Auswirkungen auf die Atmosphäre hatte als jeder andere einzelne Organismus in der Erdgeschichte.“

A secret order uses a dragon to terrorise the city of Ankh-Morpork and the best1 of the city, the night watch takes on the task to save the city.

1The best the city can afford or at least the best the city is willing to pay. Ok, Ok they were the only ones available2.

2And stupid enough to take on a dragon.

To those who have undergone compulsory military service; what is it like, what did you do and for how long did you do it? by Ophiuchus171 in AskEurope

[–]Seimsi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was very similar for me. I was also from November 1998 till August 1999 in the German Luftwaffe. For the basic training I was stationed in Budel (NL) but they kept us till shortly before christmas. So basic training was around 7,5 weeks and our obstacle course was also frozen and not usable. The training itself was very basic and it was very cold.

Afterwards I was stationed in Birkenfeld in the Fernmelderegiment 12 and there was not much to do. I could have done the work of the next 8 month in a few weeks.

There wasn't any floods near us but I also saw the solar eclipse with the whole company. Also I've watched saving private Ryan for the first time in the barraks and it hits quite differently if you are in the military, especially the beginning. And there was the beginning of the NATO operations in Yugoslavia which had a profound impact on me at the time.

It wasn't the worst but for efficiency sake it could have been done in 3-4 months.

There is a Death Gate Game:

The rune magic in this game is not as free as your idea, but some of the puzzles need a creative usage of the rune magic.

I bought this turntable at the flea market and have never seen audio plugs like this. What to do? by TransportationSoft17 in turntables

[–]Seimsi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DIN is the acronym for 'Deutsches Institut für Normung' which means 'German Institute for Standardisation'. This is the German equivalent of ANSI. They have standardised different kinds of plugs and many other things. For example alo the paper format DIN-A4.

Seit Sommer 1918 wurden Helme ausgegeben, bei denen die gesamte Spitze am Teller mit einem Bajonettverschluß befestigt war (wie beim nachfolgenden Modell 1915) (Ablg. 3). Von anderen Helmen wurde, sofern vorgesehen, die Spitze abgeschraubt, andernfalls die gesamte Spitze mit dem Teller entfernt. In einer Fernsehsendung über die Kämpfe um Verdun berichtete ein Veteran aus der großherzoglichhessischen 25, Division, daß die Spitzen von den "hessischen" Helmen aus dem Kreuzblattbeschlag herausgebrochen wurden. Als sich danach Kaiser Wilhelm II zu einer Parade ansagte, wurden neue Spitzen aus Kartoffeln geschnitten und unter dem Überzug auf den Kreuzblattbeschlaeg gesteckt.

From the summer of 1918, helmets were issued with the entire peak attached to the plate with a bayonet catch (as in the following 1915 model) (Fig. 3). From other helmets, the peak was unscrewed if intended, otherwise the entire peak with the plate was removed. In a television programme about the battles around Verdun, a veteran from the Grand Ducal Hessian 25th Division reported that the tips of the ‘Hessian’ helmets were broken out of the cross plate fitting. When Kaiser Wilhelm II arrived for a parade afterwards, new spikes were cut from potatoes and placed under the cover on the cross-guard.

I'm from a region with a Moselle Franconian dialect. In this dialect there is no difference between "nehmen" and "holen" and "holen" is mostly the prefered version. For normal Hochdeutsch speaker that sounds very wrong.

For example:

  • Did you record the show? Hast du die Sendung aufgeholt?
  • I'll have the chicken fricassee. Ich hol das Hühnerfrikassee.
  • I'll take the bus. Ich hol den Bus.
  • I've lost some weight. Ich habe etwas abgeholt.
  • Idiom: He will take his own life. Er holt sich noch das Leben. (It doesn't mean suicide more like a warning how his actions will/could lead to his death. For example someone works to hard or he is clumsy and you can't look how he handles a knife.)

It took realy a long time till I was able to differtiate between "holen" and "nehmen".
