  • Oof, you’d be on the road a lot. Black forest - in the very south west, Neuschwanstein - pretty south east, Berlin - very north east.

    I might suggest going to the black forest, visiting all the historical castles in the Mittelrheintal (middle Rhine valley), and instead of Brandenburg gate maybe Stuttgarter Schloss etc. Neuschwanstein is basically castle-cosplay. I think in the middle Rhine valley you’ll find cooler things and it’s closer .

    Tetris is about trying to fit into a society, that wants to destroy you.

    Space invader is about uniting all of earth’s peoples against a common challenge.

    Pong is about the heated but honest exchange of ideas that makes a democracy stronger.

    (/jk I agree with you)


  • I want to answer honestly as well. I looked up the numbers, and we have 2 million wild boars in Germany. Germany has roughly the size of Montana.

    High estimates say, there are 9 Mio in the US, 3 Mio in Texas (twice as large as Germany). So the numbers are rooouuughly comparable, a little more swine here in DE.

    I guess, the feral hogs are really back to being wild nowadays despite stemming from domesticated pigs. So I will classify them as scary as a wild boar. Which they are, they are scary.

    How do we manage this? Each year about 600 000 boars are shot by professional hunters. The general population doesn’t need weapons for that. And the hunting rifles are bolt action or single action, not automatics.

    The main damage they cause is not to live and limb, but to property, namely crop fields. Our solution is, that each hunter is assigned a district and a number he must shoot. If the farmland in his area is damaged more than x% that is also his responsibility.



  • Yeah Pfannkuchen, Eierkuchen, Palatschinken, Plinsen, Flinzen, Crêpe (only on the christmas market) …

    Now please tell me how you call the smaller, thicker “American” pancakes.

    I call them Löffelkuchen (spoon cake) and we make them mostly with berries in the batter (black current or blueberry).




  • There are three weeks in spring - around April - when the trees start sprouting their leaves. And for three weeks the beech leaves have such an incredible light green before they turn darker.

    It’s so fragile, yet so vibrant. The sun shines through the leaves and illuminates them from the inside. It’s a bit milky or hazy but also unbelievably clear and honest. Going through a beech grove during that time feels like I’m in Lothlórien.
