Little story to that point: In 2000 I flew NWA from Europe to the states. That time they still showed the movie on a big screen in the front of the cabin. The movie that day was Gladiator.

The airline did not censor gore and violence even though children were also flying.

But of course there was no nudity to speak of in that movie at all.

TL;DR: “sorry, you are right, I over-simplified”and “don’t be a dick on the Autobahn”

Ok, you are technically correct, which is - as we all know - the best version of correct. 😎

I admit to gross over-simplification on my part. This is the internet after all.

My point was to not underestimate the weight of the advisory speed limit. Living over here at a stretch of Autobahn with no posted speed limit I have seen my fair share of reckless speeding and felt compelled to make a point as the image projected by many ‘influencers’ is that anything goes on the Autobahn.

Some more details for the three people still reading this:

Courts over here in good ol’ Germany are pretty clear that paragraph 1 of the German highway code lays out the guiding principle of traffic and has to be followed at all times:

[…]

  1. Participation in road traffic requires constant caution and mutual consideration. (2) Anyone taking part in traffic must behave in such a way that no one else is harmed, endangered or hindered or inconvenienced more than is unavoidable under the circumstances. […] (Translated by myself using deepl.com)

To the advisory speed of 130 km/h:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advisory_speed_limit

[…]While travelling above the advisory speed limit is not illegal per se, it may be negligence per se and liability for any collisions that occur as a result of traveling above the limit can be placed partially or entirely on the person exceeding the advisory speed limit.[…]

If you go faster than 130 km/h you are always allotted a certain percentage of fault in Germany. You don’t have the right to speed if you are endangering others.

Has anyone got the numbers for all int’l travel in and out of the US?

I mean AfD made it pretty clear they are against Tesla when trying to stop the Tesla plant in Germany.

Not sure how their brains work, maybe they don’t. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I mean there is ASML. As I understood you do not manufacture modern chips if you don’t have one of their machines.

I don’t think that would be allowed as per safety regulations.

Flight attendants are safety personnel who also serve food and drinks.

The jump seats facing the passengers are there for a reason.

Having said that if airlines would be allowed to fly without flight attendants they would.

Handed back my model 3 leasing car in September. As long as they are the right wing nutcase is involved I will not buy anything from them again.

To buy a new bike nowadays you have to safe longer. So, you will be older and your eyesight will be worse. That’s why you need a bigger display. Easy explanation.

/s, I guess

Ich dachte, in den 80er hießen die noch SED? 😇

At least we have capital letters at the begin of nouns in German. So it is not too bad to have: Wenn hinter Robben Robben robben, robben Robben Robben nach. Right?
