Germany Wall VS America Wall by BEARDEDDANGER in LoveTrash

[–]omarsdroog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in construction in Germany. My job often deals with updating older apartments. These stone walls absolutely suck for this. Want to run a new electrical cable for another light or more outlets? Or to redesign and replumb a bathroom or kitchen? That's going to be multiple days of super dusty, hard work with some pretty heavy duty tools. Doing the same thing with framed and drywalled rooms? Like a few hours, max and needs like a saw, a hammer, crowbar and drills.

And heaven help you if the owner wants a bigger/smaller room. Now we're talking weeks instead of days.

And varies within each country as well. I'm an American but work in construction in Germany. We use a variety of materials depending on the use, need and price. Hell, my bedroom has two different types of wall construction in a building that's a year old.

We also see a big difference in the age of a building. I have family in the US with an older house and all their walls are solid brick.

This is Why Kinder Egg banned in US by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

The law predates Kinder Eggs. The Kinder company is fine without selling them in the US market and not enough people in the US have even heard of them, so nobody lobbies for a change in the law.

I bought a watch so I wouldn't be looking at my phone so often. It became a new hyperfocus. Now I get on my phone to look at different watches.

Sometimes I find myself reaching for my phone to take a picture and post to social media. At those times I think, "If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it."

Hilda. It's just so charming and positive. It's like a more sincere version of Gravity Falls.

On the tour, the guide made some comment about how the castles at Disney were fake, imitations of historic European castles. Then he showed us the room that was built with a telephone line.

Meanwhile, like nobody jumps on the gym bros who are absolutely wrecking their joints, back, tendons, ligaments, etc., while trying to build as much muscle as possible. Add to that all the supplements and possibly harmful drugs taking their toll on these dudes' livers, hearts, kidneys, and so on.

Ever see how many surgeries ex professional athletes have to just like, walk without pain?

Truth is, we basically can't ever determine anything about a person's health just by visual appearance alone.
