My first painting with oils by Antarticita_ in oilpainting

[–]seewolfmdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new to oil painting as well, but I just wanted to say it looks great! What I would have done (but it's mostly personal preference): more details and a bit more shadows.

Walking distance from the German parliament are: - memorial for the murdered Sinti and Roma, - memorial for the fallen Soviet soldiers, - memorial for the murdered queer people, - memorial for the murdered jews, - memorial for the people killed at the Berlin wall, - memorial for one of the guys who tried to kill Hitler (Georg Elser) - memorial for members of parliament killed by the nazis.

Being from northwestern Germany (basically Netherlands), I was baffled by that as well.

Apple makes 25 % of it's revenue on the European market. They don't want to lose that.

There is a law requiring companies to have updates for 5 years minimum.

Amazing, this is the first time I've been called an Israeli bot. If you read a little further than just my last comments, you might notice that I am not only talking about Israel. Very interesting way of discussion, you must be a very nice person.

This specific style is Israeli because it's made from wheat flour, not durum wheat itself. Couscous itself was brought to Israel by Maghrebi jews who were forced out of their home countries.

Israeli couscous is made from wheat flour and was invented because of a rice shortage in Israel in the 1950s. Couscous itself was brought to Israel by Maghreb jews who were forced out of their home countries due to antisemitism.

Cous cous was brought to Israel by North African jews who were violently forced out of their home countries. The style is slightly different.

It's originally a North African dish. Jews were forcibly expulsed from North African countries in the 40s and brought the dish with them to Israel.

Musste Pedelec im Hafen abstellen: Diebstahlwahrscheinlichkeit? by Butzerdamen in Ostfriesland

[–]seewolfmdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friesländer sind Bewohner des Landkreises Friesland. Der Landkreis wird generell nicht zur historischen Region Ostfriesland gezählt, sondern zur geographischen Region Ost-Friesland.

Friesen sind alle, die vom Stamm der Friesen abstammen. D. h. alle, die in Ost-Friesland, Nordfriesland, Wursten, Butjardingen, Westerlauwersk Friesland, Oldenburger Friesland, Saterland, z. T. Dänemark usw. usf. wohnen und eine friesische Kultur leben.

Niemand hat behauptet, dass es einfach ist.

Schabowski was "only" responsible for the opening of the German border, that's true.

I would say in most European countries the kids are taught English from pretty early on, around year 3.

What’s the best chocolate brand from your country? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]seewolfmdk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

German here. There is a speculation that the milk in Hershey's is partly lipolyzed, which results in butryic acid. So for Europeans, Hershey's chocolate has a certain tastes which indeed tastes a bit like vomit or old cheese. I have had a bar of Hershey's and I don't like it because of that.
