(Electric) kettle would be the “right” word for Wasserkocher.

Brits and their weird non-compound-words.

Since they shut out Linux players last week. Taking away access to things someone bought, used and can’t use anymore because of something the supplier did could be interpreted as theft.

Older (pre 2000) diesel cars needed a few seconds, sometimes a minute to “warm-up” the starter. You had to turn the ignition half way before you actually start the car. That’s the only “warming up” a car might need to function (normal circumstances).

Not disagreeing with you, just want to add my flavour of “the image is stupid”.

Also, unless it’s the first move of the game, you need a word on the board to add your own with a shared letter.

Not where this bridge is built. This looks like a German autobahn, so the closest thing to a tiger crossing that is either a lynx or a fox.

Cheapest flights possible to the cheapest “vacation” island possible. Vacation as in

• drinking until you can’t even pronounce “hi”
• habitual disturbance of locals and other guests
• being fleeced by club owners and everyone else because you have “tourist” stamped on your forehead
• sleeping off the night by the pool and pre-game from midday to evening
• only eating (and drinking) the same stuff as at home, because fuck other cultures who don’t know how to make a kebab/Schnitzel/…

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I get that reference, but also I’d like to support the statement. I’ve sat on my couch for 2-3 days, frozen peas in my lap and just took it slow. A week later I could barely tell that anything changed.

When he was finally done, he approached us and I said “Hi how are you?” with a smile.

There’s probably the problem. Don’t ask a german “how are you”, they will interpret it as the start of a conversation, not a greeting. You might either get weird looks or a detailled personal and medical history of that person. In food service, you get to the point. A “Excuse me” or “Can we order please” is a way better way to initiate an order.
