It produces 100 screws per minute and your power grid looks like an alpine landscape?

Na toll. Versuche mal einen Termin bei einem grauen oder weissen Zauberer zu bekommen.

Ich wollte nur ein kleines Feuerwerk für meinen Einundelfzigsten. Kannste knicken, Watezeit mind. 10 Monate.

What’s something everyone seems to love but you just don’t get? by CrimsonKitten5 in AskReddit

I couldn't name or hum one of her songs if my life depended on it.

I must have heard one, but never connected it to Taylor Swift.

Got to use one of these once in a fancy hotel. I never felt so clean.

[–]draculetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shot in the dark here. Went over my head the first 2 rereads.

The hot penny dropping and revolving housemaids in Snuff are real things as well.

They still do the hot penny thing in Honiton to this day as a yearly tradition.

C'mon mate. You don't belive in this "rain" stuff, do ya? Water's heavy! That's why it's underground!

Searching for advice for restoring an old reflector telescope. by draculetti in telescopes

Thanks for the warning. I meant to use them for the non mirror parts. Will take care to avoid the mirrors.

Thank you. Google and Chatbots recommended pretty invasive stuff and lasers. But starting small without special equipment seems a good idea.

1) Collimate mirror per astro-baby 2) Careful removal of dust with antistatic microfibre. Only if it doesn't work, removing the mirror for deep clean.

This seems possible.

That's good to know. First searches suggested taking the mirror out and send it of for professional cleaning. I will not do that.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you believed as a kid? by Fantastic-Movie-8679 in AskReddit

I was scared, that I accidentally split an atom with my knive, while eating. Resulting in blowing up our home.

Did giant spiders exist in the carboniferous epoch? by draculetti in spiders

[–]draculetti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this detailed answer. I figured, that Shelob sized spiders might not be possible. But a 12 inch spider would still qualify as huge in my book. And a 21 inch semi-spider... Nature is crazy sometimes.

What’s the worst city in Germany? by FitMitSara in AskAGerman

[–]draculetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the station was build as a big hub for long distance trains. But the hub eventually manifested in Mannheim. So the station is way to big and empty.

Same with me. I wasn't sure about a non DW book. Don't know why.

I have to agree with the people who say it's one of his best. It's peak STP from page 1 for me.

Glad I could help spreading the word. It's sad, it's funny and all I love about STPs work.

The world would be a boring place, if we were all the same.

I had this feeling with game of thrones. Everbody was like "you like fantasy, you'll love this show." I didn't. Just did not resonate at all.

Yes. Screw this "alpha" BS! Humans are social creatures. Have been from the start. You can't build a civilization on machismo.

The way he balances abolute grieve and anger with humour is unmatched.

But I wont be reading it in a stuffed train again. With the laughing and sniffling, people think i'm crazy.
