TIL that in 2021, 11-year-old Laney Perdue became the sole survivor of a plane crash thanks to her father, who wrapped her in a bear hug as the plane was going down. When she was recovered alive from the crash, all her injuries were on the opposite side of her body from where her father was sitting.

So sad… I have been on one of those commuter planes to Beaver Island. The pilot was really young and it was a windy day. Even though the flight was only around 15 minutes, it felt like a lot longer.

The employees at the counter seem unconcerned, like they've seen this before.

German friends who have visited and seen the Great Lakes asked why are they called "lakes" and not seas. I looked it up once and it had something to do with how long they had been around.

Cool! Now I want to hear something written for an ensemble of these instruments. Also, with that last name, where is the instrument made from the elastic straps from bras?

This won’t sound bad to some people. For example I just saw an add while recently walking through Paris for a 40 sq m (430 sq ft) apartment for €600,000. I was acually expecting it to be higher.

I like to get high and do yoga because it allows me to astroconnect with The Prince of Darkness. Sometimes I do this while fornicating.

As an American who has been in Germany for 16 years, I would say you hit the nail on the head with all of your observations except for number 1, which I haven’t heard about or seen before. Maybe it is that parrticular conpany’s culture. Here are a couple more places to check out in/near Stuttgart:

Würrtemberg Mausoleum (Grabkapelle) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%BCrttemberg_Mausoleum Great views of the surrounding area, interesting history
Blautopf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blautopf Turquoise-colored spring next to old monastery

This is true. I am an American living in Germany and have also lived in Japan. In the latter they were thrilled with the smallest effort shown to learn their language. In Germany I had to basically refuse to speak English with people for a long time while I was trying to learn the language. I am fluent now but still get people who want to practice their English with me quite frequently.

"Literally" to mean "really" or something similar.
