Yeah, sorry, had that somehow mixed up.

Okay, to reply to the people asking about "No know how". Yes, the US still have a very capable Submarine-fleet, but those Units are from the 1980s. Look at modern diesel-electric Subs, like mainly the german 212A class. Basically

Yes and no. France and Great Britain guaranteed Ukraine's territorial integrity, when they agreed to return the ex-soviet nuclear weapons to Russia after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Somehow, they weaseled themselves out.

Exactly. As far as I remember, I read an article that Taiwan desperately wants to buy new Submarines, but nobody wants to sell. US doesn't have the Know-how to build them, Germany doesn't want to risk relations with China. So, it&

Which Number s, sadly, are missing, are those of Switzerland and Finland. I find it really interesting, because in Switzerland, every man mandatory serves in the Army, and then takes his full-automatic gun and ammunition home with himself.

Really nice concept. Especially with greenhouses, you can build large systems of it in them. But, and don't Vote me down, considering current events, how long until we see a "Weedbot"?

I would rather say the contrary. You can see "our" significance there, anmials forgetting their most dangerous hunter after not even 3 decades. Thats the difference, a society that can remember.

Oh, didnt know that. Probably should read up on this, then. But yeah, it fits.

Luckily, no. I am to young. But I know some people who did and took the first chance to get away from there. More or less the tenor is: Good that its gone.

Absolute, complete bullshit, sorry. The experiment massively went wrong, but the people, of whom many died trying to stop the disaster caused by the typical soviet problem of bad planning, slavish obedience to higher-ups and generally worse

Well, maybe, except the fact that the SU tried to use Robots built in Western Germany, and the radioactivity just fried them. They were absolutely inusable under those conditions. Read about radiation shielding in space missions and the pro

Well, they should have known better. When they were searching a name for a bridge close to the new Wembley Stadium, german fans hijacked the Poll and voted for "Dietmar Hamann Bridge", a german national soccer player. Also, in a s

Depends. There are some really good STrategy games out there. Endless Space/Endless Legend, the Wargame-Series and the Total War titles. Still waiting for Empire II, though.

Can just recommend the new XCOM2. A massive improvement, absolutely brilliant game. Gives some hope for Strategy again.

One of the few other companies that made games of similar quality for me was Bioware. The critically acclaimed Star Wars RPGs, the Mass Effect and DragonAge franchises started as something new and special, with MassEffects focusing on epic

The sad thing is, that we could be a lot further in eradication of many diseases. We are on a good way with polio and measles, but the uneducated and plain stupid people that refuse to vaccinate are a grave danger to that endeavour. Also,

I live very close to Hümmel, and, although knowing about the burial ground concept, "Friedwald", its the first time I hear about the Rest of this. Of course, living in the Eifel brings a special relationship to the forest, after

The same people who shot Kennedy hide the plane. You will be disintegrated in 3 minutes. Or you could use the grey matter between your ears. Modern airliner hulls and structure are made mostly out of aluminium, which is -suprise- antimagnet

In Germany, voluntary Firefighters are still called to service with those air-raid sirens on rooftops. So whenever I hear a sound like that, i'm basically halfway out the door. But for emergency purposes, we still have a hand-cranked

Thing is, how many viewers would those people have, if their content would be, idk, 1€/$/£ per month? Thats the difference to e.g. Twitch personalities or people famous in gaming. Their crowd is a lot less volatile and rapid-shift

Good one. If you are lucky enough to be in a city. The majority of the cabling and infrasturcure was built by the Deutsche Post, when it was still government-owned. Now nearly all of that belongs to the Telekom, which have a massive tmonopo

This basically only shows again what the tiny Netherlands can achieve. I dont think there is a single country that threatened by a force of Nature. But instead of giving up, you basically become the best Worldwide in construction in, on and

Sadly happened to me, too. White teen with german name in Germany. Brought a HiVoltage TV Transformer to school for science class (Mind me, I must have been 18 or 19, not 14). A teacher probably overheard my comment to another student &quot
