I was in exactly one restaurant indoors during Covid in Germany, and they used lamitated QR codes on the table for an online menu, so it was in use here as well. But generally I agree, yes.

While this looks cool, kinda like the UI from some 90ies SciFi movie come to live... what is it? As in, yeah, I can click around, but I don't see what it really does...

Firefox native Reader mode works great here (although I have uBlock installed, not sure how much annoyances it filters out).

I don't understand why you were downvoted. This is exactly it. I live in Germany, and bought a petrol gar this year. I'd love to have a battery EV. I simply cannot charge it anywhere, maybe at work (and since Corona started I have

It might well be that he sees something like that, but (at least here) the frustration would definitely increase, not decrease. In general I could imagine a job like that, I mean, I applied... but there is a trend in this company, it seems

Right before Corona hit us all there was a chance for me to grab a new minor management position in my group at work, where it was decided that we should create official ~5 person teams with a leader out of the whole group. I applied but ul

Could you give us a list of some things that are so terrible in Sweden? I have a gut feeling that it might also be different depending on where you originally come from. As a German I am pondering moving to the Nordics, because there are ma

I know this is really old, but I wonder if it has really been decided completely in all jurisdictions if this is legally ok or not, because on the German Amazon website the button for ebooks is very clearly labelled with the German word for

The CDU is business friendly in the same way the Republicans are business friendly - it sure appears that way at first, with tax breaks or lowering regulations, but in the end it bites everyone in the ass, even businesses, when that means t

I would assume that sites like this know these words as synonyms and don't simply do a lax string matching, because in this specific case "Gothenburg" would probably also work - it did when I was planning a route through Swed

I used to play that a ton as a teenager on my Amiga 500, but it just is not as much fun on an emulator, rose tinted glasses.

Indeed. I did a ctrl-f on the comments to see if someone had mentioned Pinterest already. Basically everyone I know who uses the internet consciously (as opposed to say people like my parents who "click the e on the desktop") woul

In my case it changes when the next article comes up. This is a really weird page format some online news magazines have adopted, where they simply add different articles at the bottom of your original page, infinite scrolling style. If y

In the outdoor hiking community the "leave no trace behind" movement warns to not leave this otherwise obvious biodegradable trash behind. It is usually not native to the area, or too much for nature to absorb, or might contain pe

Even if I generally agree with the premise of the article and the tipps it gives, it too falls prey to some of the problems of icons. It presents the Yelp food icons as well thought out and intuitive, and I would not have had the slightest

I kind of miss the feature that I can upload local files to Spotify (I can, but it is not as seamlessly integrated as I want), but when I "like" an album on Spotify, it is added to my library. I think that the individual songs are

I don't use Apple Music, but Spotify, so I am a little confused about the idea that Spotify does not have a library, or "the concept of a library". I mainly use Sptify via their library, and only rarely use curated playlists

Well, commercial use of memes, like, say a company liek Reddit or Imgur that profites from the use of memes (let's not go into their revenue or business model in detail now). So in reality ALL memes are commercial (unless you host your

Also all "free on Audible.com" links simply go to their own page telling the reader to sign up for a free trial with a referral link, instead of audiobooks that are free on Audible. Uhm, so it is NOT free on Audible, and that seem

Well, fax machines are still in use here (most notably in mdeical offices, it seams), but superscript abbreviations? Never seen them in the last 40 years. I mean, yes, I have seen the letters FAX or TEL in front of the number, but never rea

Agreed, an Imbiss is the kiosk where you get food, not the food itself; at least I never heard the word used for the food in my 40+ years as a German ;)

Indeed. As a German, I found it highly curious to suggest that car free town centers are a failed concept... on the contrary, I would not want to live in a city that does not have this (and I am not for randomly closing streets in cities or

As an atheist, I really liked your comment, and yes, I am more open to what you wrote, but... I am not one bit more open towards the Religion, because that is as far removed from what you wrote here as it is possible, I think.

Yes, but only in common usage of the word. As a real technical term it has to be called Konfitüre in Germany, as Bretain actually managed to get protection for the term, even if only they use if to the orange based stuff...

I used to think the stains are just the deodorant or antitranspirant, but it seems it is something of that that reacts to the detergent. One tip I was given was to rinse the garments in water before washing them (haven't tried that mys

Actually drinks were the first thing that came to my mind as well. With drinks it is basically normal to order by brand (several brands of beer on tap for example). But there are also restaurants and bars that brew their own beer, and peopl
