The cheese ingredients are so French. The laughing cow, Boursin, Raclette and goats cheese just some of the options!

Maybe he has a Rechtsschutzversicherung!

I’m the whitest of white lighter shade of pale chicken korma is my limit absolute spice wuss. I would never order Mexican food in the US. I can barely eat it here in Germany.

“As there is no possibility for me to eat tacos in my small german hometown, was looking for a good Taco restaurant in NYC.”

A German engineer on a trip to the US sued a taco restaurant for the sauce being too spicy.

Why would you order tacos if you don’t eat spicy food?

I love the ‘man of the people’ being a 16 year old who drinks champagne, eats oysters, and plays golf.

Polished… nipping … undulating … pitting… stomping … shedding

Excruciating writing (aside from the actual content, which is a whole new level of cringe).

I always laughed at my Audi. When I opened the roof in Scotland, it automatically put the heating on full blast - obviously programmed by German engineers who thought Scottish summer temperatures of 16°C was the depth of winter.

And many of our submissions come from non-native English early career researchers. Allowing the use of AI for translation enables them to connect to readers they wouldn’t normally reach.

I’m a translator, but also the freelance blog manager of @ecer-eera.bsky.social blog.

I understand the concern that allowing authors to use AI for translating means people like me won’t be hired. But in reality, most people who submit to the EERA blog don’t have the money to hire a professional.

That would be amazing. Not sure how likely it is. Will try and find out.

According to our local newspaper, it was visible here too. We missed it.

Those meme news sharticle things that are suddenly all over the internet (picture on a black background with white and yellow text below briefly explaining the picture but never with a link or source)?
Seems like everyone should absolutely not be sharing that shite.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Fun facts to know and tell: in Germany, CDU state leadership candidates are all produced and assembled at the same robotics factory in Wolfsburg, and there is in fact only one current model in production.

In Leberwurst, there’s no liver.

Hahaha. I’ll just try and forget that.

I’ve been there! They have amazing toasties.

Lads. Saw the first Spargel fields yesterday. It’s starting.

Auf dem Dach ein Storchennest und darin zwei Störche.

Der Frühling kommt, die Störche klappern 😊

An Instagram message from my daughter with a video of a young woman wearing double denim. Daughter wrote: ever since you asked me about double denimn ive seen it all over the place. its cool. My reply: Nice that our phones are listening to us in order to give us reassurance about our clothing choices!

Asked my daughter yesterday if double denim is ok now cause I keep seeing cute young women wear it. She said it was never uncool, just some randoms decided it was and only Gen X believed it.

And then she sent me this insta message.

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Looking good f the Green Party in Würzburg today. Their goal was to remain the largest Fraktion in the city council. This will enable our (first) Green mayor to push through his agenda.

They had some great proposals - such as greening the city centre - so hopefully they’ll be able to realise them

Not saying they don’t do it! Just that they have other interests too.

Quite.

Looks like it tightened, but still ahead.

That must be tiring.

Same here. I’ve only met a couple of Trump voters - first time around. Do wonder if one of them regrets it. He was in the US army and now i wonder what he thinks of the war in Iran.

That’s like Germany. People don’t talk about politics at work much. In my husband’s office (a US company) they actually banned talking about politics after Trump won. Not sure if there was an incident, or just precautionary measure.

She thought the Irish all sit around in pubs singing all day.

Ah. Good question. I assumed NI, but she might not differentiate.
