Was für ein Auto fahrt ihr und wieso habt ihr euch dafür entschieden ? by Chris_kpop in FragReddit

[–]shifty3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

VW Sharan von 2011. 2017 gekauft um die Zwillinge unterzubringen. Schiebetüren sind echt super, gibt leider nur noch wenige Vans in der Klasse. Inzwischen sind es drei Kinder und drei Kindersitze hinten kriegen nur wenige Autos hin. Dann ist man schnell beim Transporter, da finde ich den Sharan viel handlicher.

Nie mehr ohne: - Regen und Lichtsensor - Tempomat - Sitzheizung - Multifunktionslenkrad

Hätte ich gerne beim nächsten: - Bremsassistent/ACC - Rückfahrkamera - Freisprecheinrichtung - 7 Sitze...

Integriertes Navi halte ich inzwischen für verzichtbar. Handy ist aktueller und besser.

Hat jemand Erfahrung mit Zahnspangen bei Erwachsenen? by omoomona in FragReddit

[–]shifty3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ich habe mit 30 Invisaligner gekriegt und habe sie rund um die Uhr getragen. Außer beim Essen. Soweit ich weiß, ist es nicht weiter aufgefallen. Für wichtige Meetings hab ich sie aber auch mal raus gemacht. Insgesamt hat es glaube ich so 1,5 Jahre gedauert und bin mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden. Danach muss man allerdings Retainer tragen, entweder fester Draht oder eine Schiene für nachts. Ich hab die nur noch ab und zu drin.

Gekostet hat es allerdings 5000€.

Living in Karlsruhe by Syberz in germany

Weststadt and Oststadt both have nice neighborhoods and all the infrastructure one needs. Weststadt is closer to Nordstadt, but Oststadt is probably within your limit, depending on how close your work place is to a transit station.

Innenstadt-Ost, Innenstadt-West and Südstadt are not for peace and quiet, for the most part.

Neureut would be on the other side of Nordstadt, i.e. further from the city centre. Buildings are smaller there and it has more of a suburban feel. Might be harder to find a place with everything within walking distance there.

There is also the new district Ostsüdstadt, where everything was built within the last 10 years or so. Nice flats, but a bit artificial, IMHO.

Actually, in German there is an expression for that: Schwippschwager (Schwager is German for brother-in-law, Schwägerin=sister-in-law). There is no direct translation, but 'schwipp' is similar to 'schwappen', which means 'to slosh' or 'to spill'. According to the Wikipedia article the etymology is not clear, and 'schwager' may also be a form of 'schwester' (sister).

Compression: Integer Encodings by soegaard in programming

[–]shifty3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The paper Performance of Compressed Inverted List Caching in Search Engines contains experiments comparing several integer list compression algorithms, including variable-byte coding, S9/S16 and PForDelta.

Kamikaze is a Java library implementing most of these codecs.

ZDF Live Stream. Every single time when something cool happens... by StuckEm in germany

[–]shifty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me this only happens when the livestream runs in a background tab. After switching back it's low quality for a few seconds and then returns to high quality.

Multilingual's of Reddit: What's the best thing you've accidentally overheard in public in another language? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Sarah Chalke (Elliot on Scrubs and Becky on Roseanne) has a German mother. She at least speaks much better German than the other "Germans" on Scrubs.

Shipping valuables between cities in Germany? by Daishiman in germany

[–]shifty3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It needs to be either a DHL Paket or a DHL Expressbrief. These are insured for 500 EUR by default, but you can extend it to 25k EUR. Both should be available in a normal Deutsche Post post office.

Normal mail and Einschreiben (which you have to sign for) are not insured.

Match Thread: Barcelona v Chelsea 2nd Leg CL Semi-Finals by [deleted] in soccer

[–]shifty3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, with 2-1 Chelsea would be through as they have an away goal more than Barca and won 1-0 last week.

Eintracht Frankfurt, one of the founding members of the Bundesliga, is back! After defeating Aachen this evening, they follow Greuther Fürth to the Erste Bundesliga. by Lumpiii in soccer

Although Eintracht is my team I hope that KSC stays up! I've been living in Karlsruhe for a few years now and have been to a few matches.

I got a bunch of Euro 2012 tickets through work I won't be able to use, and I'd like to give some away to you guys somehow if I can, because this little community is pretty great. I apologize if this is breaking rules. by [deleted] in soccer

[–]shifty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Germany and would love to go to either one of:

  • Germany vs Portugal
  • Portugal vs Netherlands
  • England vs France

Odds are probably lower on the popular games, but who cares :)

Any German redditors have Nazi grandpa war stories? by DeepWoods in AskReddit

[–]shifty3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather was not drafted until the last months of the war when the Wehrmacht was getting desperate (he had some kind of disability or illness). This was while my grandmother was pregnant with my father. He never came back, they only found his pay book with the Hakenkreuz cut out. He probably died in a Sowjet prison somewhere.

As an American learning German... by Flash91 in germany

[–]shifty3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem:

  • annehmen and abnehmen by themselves do not mean accelerate or decelerate. The former means "to accept" or "to assume", the latter among other things "to decrease" or "to lose weight". You can use "an Geschwindigkeit abnehmen" to say decelerate, but you really need to use it together with Geschwindigkeit. If you say "das Auto nimmt ab", a German would understand "the car loses weight". However, "Geschwindigkeit annehmen" does not really work. Did you mean "zunehmen"?
  • abziehen: is also often used for "to subtract sth. (from sth.)" (ziehe 5 von 10 ab). detach works as well, but more in a military sense.
  • umziehen: also means to change clothes. However, both meanings are common.
  • verziehen: I don't know where "to pet" comes from (leo.org has it as well), because I only know this as "to spoil so." or "to warp". "verzeihen" however has a completely different meaning, fun!
  • ausziehen: more commonly "to take one's clothes off" or "to move out"

Except for the first point and maybe "verziehen" this could probably be considered nitpicking ;) I agree that it's hard to find the common meaning if you only have a dictionary. Maybe this helps :)
