Hans Christian Andersen died in 1875, the copyright is long expired but of course there might be other right-holders on the title or such. Why would you want to write his story like this? The whole point of it is for the girl to die in cold

Cinderella doesn't even have it's name from the German versions, that'd be Aschenputtel or Aschenbrödel, but from the French variant which was already 1700 years old when you take the story of Rhodopis from ancient greek as i

Do cars cease to exist when they are not driven? No. They sit in a parking space, most likely in the open air where they take away space for trees. Cars is why cities heat up. Put them into expensive parking houses or underground parking to

Cars are used only 5% of the time, the rest of the day most of them sit around. They sit around in the sun, heat up and only disperse this heat during the night. Without those massive metal blocks in our streets, instead of large trees, the

Russia and China are doing it on a much worse level and as the language barriers are quite high we don't see and hear of what they say about the West in their media. The French-German broadcaster ARTE has a good series called Fake News

It's quite sad how many disposable e-smoke thingies one can find littering the streets, even in a quite nice city like the one I live. OTOH: Most times it's another small rechargeable battery for my electronics projects. Madness

Or we have become stupid enough to start projects that in the case of nuclear power plants are mostly over budget, over time and with the unsolved long-term problem of nuclear waste. Imagine all that money back then invested into solar rese

Of course they can and are welcome to, but even though I agree with many things any variations of the past German governments have brought into law it doesn't mean I have to agree on all of them. And let's be honest: The TV and ra

The current Rundfunkbeitrag which forces everyone to pay for something regardless wether they own a TV or radio, was introduced on January 1st 2013 and AFD was founded on February 6th the same year. Are 35 days a significant difference? I d

I wouldn't call it "anti-competitive fear mongering" when one player in the market can rely on a virtually guaranteed income (you'd have to be homeless to avoid the Rundfunktbeitrag) while newspapers, private TV and radi

It's 18,36€ per month, not 17. If you don't want people who don't care for TV or Radio (they do exist) to vote for AfD then you shouldn't have introduced a Rundfunkbeitrag that's very unpopular with many more. Scand

6min/km is an average pace, so I do wonder why you still hate it? Have you looked into your cadence? Are you steps too long or the shoes too hard? Or do you have to run through post-apocalyptic ruins?
