Is this really something that happened or am I looking at some type of convincing AI art?

The man knows how to send a message, at least after initially getting the tactics completely wrong in the first place.

No idea. Maybe Ancelotti would indeed give it a go, after his Madrid contract ends. Failing that, I've heard speculation about Filipe Luis, who could almost act like a player manager. On the other side of the spectrum some consider Jorge Jesus a potential candidate. He surely doesn't lack experience and, although he is Portuguese, has experience coaching Brazilian teams.

Not that surprising in the end, given the poor performances from Brazil under him.

Die SPD ist eine Partei, die fast nur noch von Menschen im Ruhestand gewählt wird. Die Union ist leider auch nicht besser. Was soll man da auch anderes erwarten?

I get the same feeling. Anyone but City feels kind of good to me.

Anscheinend funktioniert "Bücherei" als Suchbegriff, "Bibliothek" nur, wenn das im Namen vorkommt.

Leider ein Beispiel, warum der Ansatz von OSM zwar gut ist, aber das derzeitige Produkt leider nicht auf dem Niveau des Platzhirsches ist.

OSM-Daten sind genau so gut, wie Freiwillige sie gemacht haben.

Ist bei Google Maps grundsätzlich an vielen Stellen genauso, aber die User-Basis ist vielfach größer.

Dafür, dass sie "on-demand" heruntergeladen werden wie bei Google Maps, haben sie wohl nicht die Ressourcen.

Leider noch ein Beispiel, wie die Funktionalität leidet. Für eine anstehende, längere Fahrt in den Urlaub müsste ich also das Kartenmaterial quer durch Europe runterladen. Das ist leider für mich nicht praktikabel und wieder ein Punkt, der den etablierten Marktführer weiter auf dieser Position verweilen lässt.

Bitte nicht falsch verstehen; ich würde gerne weniger auf Google-Dienste zurückgreifen und tue das an vielen Stellen (Mail, Cloud-Storage, Kalender, Browser) auch erfolgreich. Gerade Maps hat aber einfach keine ansatzweise gleichwertige Alternative, die nicht gleich zum Hobby wird.

There's more with an agreement. Some also have a partial agreement, where only a written test is necessary. Here's the full list, if you're interested: https://www.german-way.com/for-expats/living-in-germany/german-drivers-license-reciprocity/

Can you tell/show me how/where I can use OSM as a replacement for Google Maps. I've given OsmAnd a try and found it lacking.

I ran a few tests such as searching for my local library. Unfortunately I had to use the exact wording ("Stadtbibliothek") rather than simpler, more common wording ("Bibliothek"). The Google map found it immediately. Similarly I searched for a local Café, which I easily found in Google Maps (despite not capitalising anything). Meanwhile the business is not present in OSM, despite being the most popular Café in my town.

Additionally navigation doesn't work for me for regions I haven't downloaded. How would I go about getting it to work for navigation to places further afield that I haven't downloaded?

Unfortunately this seems all to plausible. Despite Firefox and ad blocking in general, there's very few services that rival Google's Android and (in my opinion) none that can honestly rival Maps at present.

So, it's basically a loss leader in this scenario to feed other sevices like the ad network?

 

I realise that Google places ads in the native Gmail environment. However, when using a third party front end to embed the Google services, how does the company make money off that? When I use Thunderbird to access Gmail or the Google Calendar or when I map my Google Drive to the file explorer, how can Google profit from this kind of use?

The FA Cup seems wide open. While Manchester City would be clear favourites in every other year, their recent performances haven't filled anyone with the usual confidence that they will stroll to the title. I really believe it would be awesome if a team like Forest or Bournemouth manages to lift this trophy.

Although it's not Friday yet, we made this simple yet delicious fish.

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg floury potatoes
  • 800 g carrots & mangetout
  • 520 g fresh cod fillets
  • 75 g breadcrumbs
  • 2 medium sized free range eggs
  • 2 tbsp wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp (olive) oil
  • 30 g fresh parsley
  • 25 g unsalted butter
  • 150 ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 0.5 tsp dried nutmeg

Directions:

Peel the potatoes, cut into equal pieces and cook them in plenty of water with salt, if necessary, for 20 min until tender. Meanwhile, cook the carrots for 8 min. During the last 2 min, add the snow peas. Drain in a colander and rinse briefly under cold running water.

Cut the cod fillet into 4 pieces. Put the breadcrumbs in a deep dish. Beat the eggs in a second plate.

Sprinkle the cod fillets with the flour, pepper and salt. Pass the cod through the egg and breadcrumbs successively.

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the cod fillets in 8-10 min. until golden brown. Turn halfway through.

Finely chop the parsley. Drain the potatoes. Add the butter, milk, parsley and nutmeg and mash with the masher to a coarse puree. Season with pepper and salt, if necessary. Divide the cod fillet with the parsley puree and vegetables among the plates.

Chelsea fans call for an investigation into connections between Mr. Boehly and a website for ticket touts. While ordinary fans have found it increasingly difficult to get tickets, people outside of the UK can get them, often with a huge markup, in a way that is considered illegal in the UK.

A win against Latvia was expected and Tuchel delivered just that. However, it seems like there is still quite a bit of tinkering left to be done, before England can become real title contenders.

 

This recipe has become one of my personal favourites. It's quick and easy to prepare, yet also delicious and healthy. What's not to like?

Ingredients:

  • 2 red onions
  • 4 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 cucumber
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp mild olive oil
  • 200 g falafel
  • 8 tortilla wraps
  • 200 g spicy hummus
  • 75 g julienne carrots

Directions:

Slice the onions into wafer-thin rings and place in a heatproof bowl.

Bring the vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan, pour over the onion, season with pepper, stir and leave until ready to use. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, remove the seeds with a teaspoon.

Halve the halves widthwise and slice the pieces lengthwise into thin slices. Slice the tomatoes into 1cm slices.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the falafel for 5 min. Turn halfway through.

Heat the tortilla wraps according to the instructions on the packaging. Spread the wraps with the hummus and divide the carrot julienne, tomato, cucumber, falafel and pickled onion over them.

Fold the sides of the wraps inwards and roll the wraps up from bottom to top. Halve diagonally and divide the wraps over plates.

PVV nog steeds de sterkste partij, maar gedaald naar 30 zetels. De partijen uit het politieke midden winnen allemaal zetels. NSC en BBB nauwelijks nog relevant.

 

After the first round of matches I must say that I was surprised at the level of the Dutch team. Germany also looking solid. France are Portugal quite disappointing. I'd still put Spain in the position of favourites to win the entire thing though. They just have too much quality in their squad.

 

The Guardian's preview and prediction for the upcoming Nations League matches are once again an entertaining read.
