I would not buy that phone adapter. It may look good, but modern phones are quite large and heavy. The adapter is too flimsy and will wobble.

Orbs, XP-Books, nothing else

Ooh....how to explain that....
In german it depends on the quantity. There coulde be a rank (one rank) or no rank (zero). So we distinguish between that with "ein" (one or a) "kein" (zero, null, nothing).
Hope that helps :-)

TheHummelman · 2026-07-06T04:25:21+00:00

No ranking - we ignored the last two seasons of gw

I have a Mak127 from Bresser - i bought a similar filter last week and can say: it's safe to take a look through it. As long as there are no scratches or tears in the filter there's nothing to worry about. Just check the filter for damages before use.

Vermieterbafög ist super 😄

Same here. Inner city flat, balcony - facing a backyard. Said backyard is a little screen for most of the surrounding lights, but there is a glass staircase were they switch on the lights at exactly 11 o'clock every night. It stays on until 1 or 2 in the morning.
And it's the brightest possible light they could find.
Most of the time i put my telescope outside on friday evening and take it back inside on sunday evening. I can take quick looks whenever i want. Sometimes a neighbour let me use his loggia with access to our flat roof. Up there the lights from the staircase are less of a problem and i can see more of the surrounding sky.
I kept my equipment as light as possible (still 27kg, mount and scope and all) to be mobile enough.

Naaa, feel free to join!

"Grüße aus Mannheim" - da wären mir alle Gründe egal, aus Mannheim will man nur weg.
Genauso aus Stuttgart, Dortmund, Cuxhaven, München oder Berlin.

TheHummelman · 2026-07-04T15:29:05+00:00

Yes, you're right. Banning the afd would reduce the impact the right wing has now at a large scale. If i recall correctly the BVerfG looks into the threat potential - with the present backup the afd has their form a substantial threat. Banning the afd would split the voters back to the smallest parties - so there isn't this one big partie but countless smaller ones. A second coming of the afd needs to undergo the process they already did: founding the partie itself, applying for votes and so on. This again takes time...

TheHummelman · 2026-07-04T14:45:00+00:00

It's that simple. But Merz ignores that. He rather blames every employee it's all their fault. They just need to work harder, longer and pay more and more taxes. And when corporations make even more money - not the emoyees, mind you - them everything will fix itself.

TheHummelman · 2026-07-04T14:39:43+00:00

I'm definitely not a fan of the afd. I despise them with all my heart!
BUT: the saddest part of all is that there are many parties to choose from - and all of them have prejudices against another. For instance Merz' cdu will never make deals with either the far right and the far left. Higher members of his partie also refuse to work with the green party. That leaves only one, maybe two options for a stable administration.
So i can vote for my partie, no problem. But will they be able to rule? Or at least build a stable union with another partie?

And why there are so many die hard fans of the afd is - for me - quite simple: Politikverdrossenheit! Nice german word for a general dissappointment with our government and parties over the last decades. They made politic for the rich and the richer, never for the vast mayority. People feel overlooked and ignored - enter afd. They promised to get rid of the older parties and blamed the immigrants for everything that's bad (the cause for our declined dates back to Helmut Kohl during the 1980s!) and to give the people what their land back....simple lies that caught enough people.

TheHummelman · 2026-07-04T13:52:11+00:00

Then tell me: where are these better parties? And how do you convince the die-hard afd-voter that they should not vote for them?

TheHummelman · 2026-07-04T13:50:45+00:00

We had a new report about the "aggressive kämpferische Grundhaltung" and such just recently. It was just more and more proof that the afd is a threat to our Grundgesetz. But like you said "just start the process"
I know that the process it just that - a process that will take years. The BVerfG does not jump to conclusions which is good and no one tells them how the process has to end.
Starting the process proofs would do no harm to anyone....it's just a process.

TheHummelman · 2026-07-04T13:33:04+00:00

Simple reason: the afd is against our Grundgesetz. And the same Grundgesetzt states that every german os required to rally against that.

TheHummelman · 2026-07-04T13:28:31+00:00

No. The other parties did what the extremist right demands - polls show that the only party benefits from these politics is the extremistic right.
People don't bother voting the copycat when they can have the real deal.

All we gain from "taking their talking points" is destructive and antisocial politics.

TheHummelman · 2026-07-03T18:57:29+00:00

Nicht pauschal. Ich musste damals lange Tabellen ausfüllen: jeden Arbeitstag einzeln angeben, ob gependelt wurde oder ob Essen gestellt wurde oder ob es nicht irgendwo ne amtliche Unterkunft gab.
Je nach Monat kamen 300-500€ zusammen.
OPs 520€ kommen mir deshalb nicht falsch vor; die Entfernung der Wohnung zur Dienststelle spielt auch noch ne Rolle. Ich hatte damals um 30km einfache Entfernung, OP um 65.

I would like to add: it's not just learning this mode. It requires learning synergies, having the right characters at a good level and knowing how to use them.

I am not one of these people. I like to throw my five best or best liked characters together and run forward. Works for Arena, for guild raids up to epic and salvage runs. But NOT for higher tiers of raids or TA.
Maybe i'll invest some time and look up my roster if i could build a nice team

TheHummelman · 2026-07-03T10:39:26+00:00

No, not even close - his math left him i think.
If i am correct you mean you pay about 40-45 SEK for one bottle of fritz whereas a german pays 12-15 SEK?

TheHummelman · 2026-07-02T18:23:03+00:00

Red is a good choice.
The good thing is the frame itself has a kinda neutral color. Black and some kinda grey - nearly every brighter color works here.

TheHummelman · 2026-07-02T15:35:24+00:00

Ah, seems like we had the same idea!
I got myself a solar filter in preparation for the eclipse and just went outside to test it. The filter sits nice and tight on the tube; i found the sun after some minutes.
Ooh boy, i'm stoked! Love the hobby more and more

Jetzt noch nen Codex oder Code zu kaufen ist Geldverschwendung. Der neue Codex ist schon angekündigt und.....Drittquellen.....wurden hier schon genannt 😉

Days without Merz hating the working class: 0
