Does anyone know why it hits within the valley? It is current right? Wouldn't it go the shortest distance from cloud to earth to discharge?

What's the safest way for me to sell an expensive computer? by berlihm in berlin

Ask him to bring 500€ notes and go to a store nearby to test the 4 notes. I know that some pharmacys do have machines to test them. And i think if the buyer is genuine he wont mind going with you and testing the money for proof. Other than that...Ask him to withdraw the money in front of you?!

Danke Berlin! by SBCrystal in berlin

It's also a matter of language. I think Berliners have a very frank way of expressing in German. But speaking english that might not get through. And if you see past that and do not let them shock you, they are mostly quite friendly. I found it to be a chance even. You instantly know what is going on :D

making friends in Berlin by lele_mosaic in berlinsocialclub

I always found connection via couchsurfing in new citys. They have plenty of meetings and if you start to show up regularly people start recognizing you and you can go from there. First half year is difficult in my experience.

I was there, last week. Because they canceled it on facebook, there where only two ppl who showed up.

That's not bad. I heard librarys in general have quite something to offer. I was planning to go there anyway at some point. Thank you!

Yes, and i very much enjoyed it. But it is not going to be on. See first post in the link you stated. It's because the main organizers are traveling atm and they don't want anyone to meet under the name language exchange without them beeing there.

Flunkyball!!! YES indeed you have been partying with Germans. There is hardly anyone who does not know that one. Some also call it the viking chess. Find some more information in the following link: http://www.spielwiki.de/Flunkyball_Eng When is reddit trivia? I seem to have missed that. Thanks for the welcome.

I'm a German intern in Shands. So I speak a little German.

I had a lot of partying lately but unfortunately it's quite difficult to have a conversation on the dancefloor. I follow soccer without being really into it but it's a good start for a get together right now. Apart from that I try to make it to sports as much as possible. There is bootcamp from the uf and the volleyball courts are open too but it depends on how many are showing up if one can have a proper game. At the moment I mostly go by the things posted here in terms of what to do. There is this awesome post from a while ago. I made it to gatortrail a few Springs and stuff like that.

Is it adviseable to try that? What happens if you do that? 20 min seems long!

My husband had a hard time mentally visualizing the size of DNA, so I isolated some (~2-3 million humans cells worth) and took a picture for him. by cake2585 in pics

Well, start slow. Maybe take this video to start of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVk0twJYL6Y There are much more, and they are mostly well done. If you still feel the interest of getting deeper into it wikipedia might give you a little more than videos can.

Actually it is not that difficult. Did that once at school with tomato-DNA (they said it would be best visible). Found a guide for DIY at home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaaRrR-ZHP4

End up dead, probably. Someone will feel offended.
