Of course it isn’t.

No.

Close, but the second syllable is different. You’re correct that its not a silent vowel, it’s pronounced exactly like the short version of the article “a”, or the first letter of the word “announcement”.

Good to see him there, all cozy.

11.6 inches of rain? Yep, that’s certainly overcast.

No.

Cheers.

Mir ist nicht ganz klar wie wir jetzt von “Privatflüge” über Segelflieger zu Gamern gekommen sind. Mein Spielerechner leistet 0,3 bis 0,4 kW. Kann man als verschwenderisches Hobby betrachten, würde ich mit meinem Ökostromvertrag aber nicht als sehr schwerwiegend einschätzen. Wenn du meine gelegentlichen Videospiele mit “mit der Diamond DA62 zu Lindners Hochzeit auf Sylt fliegen” gleichsetzen willst, bitteschön.

Es ist schon korrekt, dass ich im Flugzeug bei guter Auslastung pro 100 km weniger Treibstoff (pro Passagier) verbrauche als alleine in meinem Auto. Entsprechend sieht dann die CO2-Bilanz aus. Da ich aber nicht alleine mit meinem Auto von Hamburg nach Malle fahren würde, sondern mit mindestens einem Beifahrer, wäre da vermutlich mindestens Gleichstand zwischen Flugzeug und Pkw.

Flugzeuge (Passagierjets) haben aber einen erheblich größeren Einfluss aufs Klima, weil sie keine Abgasnachbehandlung haben und ihren Dreck nicht in Bodennähe, sondern in 10-20 8-13 Kilometern Höhe rausblasen. Da ist sogar der Wasserdampf der Kondensstreifen problematisch.

To be clear, we’re talking brand new here, right? Because I don’t think you can get a “decent” bike for less than 1.000 € anymore where I live. For me, decent parts would be in the Shimano Deore or equivalent price (and quality) bracket.

If you’re renting a mansion maybe. I am currently building myself a drop bar steel tourer and have already crossed the “three months apartment rent” line, even without especially fancy components. Bicycles have become expensive over the past 10 years, with e-assisted ones establishing price levels that were previously considered obscene for the mainstream. Then non-electric bikes used their slipstream, so to speak.

Are they organic?

Something something Linda Cardellini.

Falls nicht, sag Bescheid.

I’m not a computer expert, nor an expert in espionage or intelligence services. What is pretty well known though is that the FSB has the means to reach out to young people in Europe to make them do illegal stuff (spying, sabotage…) on their behalf for maybe a couple hundred Dollars.

And the idea that European secret services cannot pinpoint the guys behind those activities because the Russians are using VPN servers is pretty cute.

Russian agencies reach out online and (at least promise to) pay some money. It’s as simple as that. They’re called low-level agents.

They should be, no?

Of course they will favor European industry. The reason we’re taking on massive debt now to increase our defensive capabilities is that the US is looking increasingly less dependable. Why would German then spend all that money for military equipment over there?

A friend insisted I borrow his BDs and watch the show. I wanted to give it a shot and kept going until somewhere into season three. Then I decided it probably wouldn’t suddenly become enjoyable for me.

You have never had to clean a toilet yourself, have you?
