I got to see this when I was in London. It's beyond cool to be able to see the stone in person.
Do you guys do student exchanges? My school used to do it, but the US students' German was all but non-existent.
Tarquinius? What'd he write, I don't remember him? (Ovid is the worst roman author though)
Oh god, I know that feeling! Luckily most of my friends have that problem, too.That being said, I often find it difficult to explain certain concepts in Russian in real-life conversations since I mean to use an on-point English phrase to describe it, then stumble as I realize that I can't and spends seconds trying to find the appropriate Russian phrasing, which almost always comes out odd because I apply English structure and lexical equivalents to Russian.
Wow, lots of you guys speak German, I'm surprised. I thought the only people that learned German were the French and Finnish, lol (Dutch people don't count, they're basically Germans anways :P). I can speak German and English, understand a bit of Russian, and I did Latin as a "major" in school. I always joke that I learned more about German in Latin class than I did in German class, but it's true, really. Grammar and syntax are just so much clearer to me thanks to the systematic approach you take to translating these ancient texts. It's also handy for etymology! And a bit of french, of course. You gotta understand your neighbors, right? :)
There's probably a few in the east, or places that will soon be demolished for open pit coal mining. That said, all I see on wikipedia are troop exercise places.A ghost town in Germany (if there are even any; I'm just wildguessing).
Wow, this has been a perfect week. I'm basically all-around happy :)
Personally, my favourites are games you play with a big group of people - my all-time favourite "board" game is werewolf. Say you have ten people. Two or three of them would be werewolves, while the others are innocent villagers. Each turn the werewolves cull another villager, and the villager have to vote to execute somebody. Of course, since the wolves pretend they're villagers themselves they try to throw a spanner into the works. There's some special villagers that can gain information on who is a wolf and who isn't, but the meat of the game is in the execution discussion, which are always hilarious. Since I'm usually the game master it's also the best way I know of learning people's names ;)
Firefox alll the way. Well, chrome with some shady VPN for netflix, but that's kaputt now so I haven't used that a while. I'm not a fan of giving google more power than it already has - but the main draws for firefox is still the modularity of the thing.
why is this mutiny so famous? It's a funny story (how everyone seemed to find that tiny island!), but at first glance I thought this had something to do with Darwin's ship (which for some reason I thought was the Bounty, not as I just looked up the Beagle.
Every guy I know is probably blasé about shooting zombies, because videogames.Wow. Jesus. Haven't seen someone as freaked out from a video game in a really long while. Oddly enough, I've only seen girls in such a state so far. Are guys too masculine/macho to show their fear and/or post it online?
Opposite of street cred - nerd cred?
Sieben, fünf, drei - Rom schlüpft aus dem Ei! [Seven, five, three, rome hatches - it's supposed to rhyme] A cutelittle rhyme we learned in latin class to remember this date by :)
Amazing how much effort people can spend on optimizing something I don't even think about. Let's swap notes later ;) (Aeropress is the best for making coffee! Best thing I ever imported from the US)
following a tag: click the tag, or open it's url or whatever. There should be a "follow #tag" link just above the first displayed post. 
Authoritarian? The reason it's freely available in the US is because they label it as a supplement. Which, considering that it doesn't have any value as such, isn't good either. The risks of long-term usage aren't yet quite clear (as are the benefits). I'm all for legalising more stuff, and we could probably do it for melatonin, but there's a lot of things that would be less controversial :P
It's scheduled in a few european countries. I'm in Germany. Uk, Denmark are also restricted.
It's what I'm trying to do, yeah. Saw the doctor today ("you're probably the healthiest person in here today"), my blood work looks pretty normal. So now I got referred to a sleep specialist. Let's see how that goes.
tough love is best love
Can't get it without a prescription here. Maybe I'll have one soon!
I want something like this as a poster now. Beautiful shot! Just saw the ISS fly over a few days ago and showed it to my flatmates, they were amazed.
If you've never read the series, the line doesn't seem that great. It only makes its heaviest impact later on. So I can understand your feelings. As for eothas' opinion, I like it because it sets up basically the first half of the whole book - you could replace it all by this line alone. It cuts to the very essence of the book. It's straightforward - it doesn't try too hard. And of course for spoilery reasons mentioned above.
The telegram wasn't written by Meursault, though.
The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
It's my filler series! Whenever I've finished a book before choosing a new one, I'll read malazan until I find something else. Bit of a shit choice in retrospect, seeing as how it takes ages to get back into the myriad characters, but the series is pretty awesome.
I'd feed the roommate to the scorpion. No need for animal violence :PFeed the scorpion to the roommate and profit.
Jesus, Kleinbl00. I was just trying to make a point about It appears that that will change in the foreseeable future. If refreshing the antibodies makes the reaction less severe, we can come up with more ways to temper the immune system. It's not a monolithic rule that cannot be changed. If this comes across as "goading", I'm sorry. That's not my intention at all. I like this discussion and I've learned a lot!f you gave me a kidney I'd spend the rest of my life hopped up on all sorts of immunosuppressants so that I could keep it alive, functional and in my body. That's a 1:1 replacement, blood type and all biomarkers matching perfectly, and the body still knows it ain't natural. There's a reason we autotransfuse over blood transfusion: even though blood is simple compared to a kidney, and even though it only lasts about three months, our own stuff is our own stuff and other people's stuff is THE INVADER.
Crazy, though, that every school has an AED. My school didn't. Not that "newfangled" tech was ever a big priority for them.
Welcome! A jade dog sounds cute. Jade reminds me of a fun literary myth about Goethe's Über allen Gipfeln Above all summits it is calm. In all the tree-tops you feel scarcely a breath; The birds in the forest are silent, just wait, soon you will rest as well. Crows fly mutely to snow-dusted cherry trees in moonlight I sit and cry For some reason I always have to think of that when I think about jade. (also apologies to the german language for that butcher job) That's not really how hubski works - stuff you post is either seen by people that follow you, or by people who follow your post's tags. Time isn't as much a factor as, say, reddit. So people who care will see it, no need to bump. People also do revive old discussions again when something interesting can be said. I do hope that when you said you read some drama you were referring to galen's upcoming theatre performance ;P
Allegedly the poem was translated into Japanese, then French, then German again and had become something like this Silence reigns in the pavilion of jadeIf I start a thread on a topic that I'm interested in but no one else joins in, can I bump it?
