I assume it's for the same reason you say Nasendusche, Nasenrücken or Nasenbluten but Halsschmerzen or Halstuch (though I'm not sure what's the exact grammatical reason). It has nothing to do with the number of noses. I think it would be Augenarzt and not Augearzt even if we had only one eye.

Das war auch immer mein Stand. Allerdings haben sich die letzten Jahre auch in Deutschland die Berichte über sinkende Grundwasserpegel gehäuft. Und es wird ja absehbar eher schlimmer als besser.
Wär jetzt interessant, was da 5 Jahre später jetzt die Expertenansichten sind, welche Sorge überwiegt.

Wenn das Eco-Programm bei der jeweiligen Maschine nicht richtig funktioniert, macht es natürlich keinen Sinn, das zu benutzen, das steht außer Frage. Also nur als generelle Anmerkung: Es geht dabei nicht nur um den Strom-, sondern auch um den Wasserverbrauch. Was ja auch ein zunehmend relevantes Thema ist.

Ja, das ist dann zumindest für Handtücher und Unterwäsche unbrauchbar und ziemlich bescheuert, da kann ich zustimmen.

Die längere Laufzeit ist für mich relativ irrelevant, weil man ja eigentlich alle halbwegs modernen Wasch- und Spülmaschinen über einen Timer zu jeder beliebigen Zeit starten kann. Ich stell den dann halt so, dass die größtenteils laufen, während ich sowieso weg bin oder schlafe.
Aber gut, hat sich halt jeder seine eigenen Abläufe angewöhnt. Manchmal ist es schwer, das umzustellen.

War bestimmt die Autorin. Die hat sich die Amazonrezensionen durchgelesen und gedacht: "Oh, verdammt, wenn das so ist, werde ich alle schon gedruckten Bücher verbrennen und Gott um Vergebung bitten."

I always find it very hard to rank books I like. Here it's especially difficult for me, since they are very different. Good Omens isn't set on the Discworld but in the real world (well, kinda, with angels and demons and hellhounds and stuff). The tone is also a bit different, I guess partly because it's a collaboration with Neil Gaiman. I would say that it's weirder (I don't mean that in a bad way). Or maybe that's just because I'm more used to the Discworld weirdness since there are more books in that setting.

I'm afraid I can't really help you with the Soul Music question. It's been a while since I read the Death books and I don't feel confident that I wouldn't get them mixed up.
I hope someone else here can help you.

I don't really know why you are trying to start a discussion with me because I never argued against any of that. You are right, we could be a lot farther if we had done a lot of things earlier. And it sucks that we aren't. All of that doesn't change that the comment I replied to was factually wrong. We could have replaced gas (or coal*) with electricity by using electricity based heating. We did not replace nuclear power with gas.

Edit: * I wrote coal, I meant oil.

In my opinion, there are several options:

• You could continue the Death series with Soul Music.

• If you want to switch it up, you could start either the Watch arc with Guards! Guards! or the Witches arc, I recommend with Wyrd Sisters, since Equal Rites is a bit like a standalone and not as polished. Which one entirely depends on whether you feel more like "cynical man pulls together a ragtag group of misfits to do what needs to be done" or "trio of witches with very different characters and approaches uses a mix of psychology (aka headology) and actual magic to do what needs to be done".

• Or you could read Good Omens, the book Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman wrote together.

I just called out this particular piece of misinformation. Being of the opinion that Germany shut down nuclear power plant prematurely doesn't make it okay to spread misinformation, does it?

Yes, it could and increasingly is. But that still doesn't make it true that the nuclear power was replaced by gas.

Except that never happened. Gas is mostly used for heating in Germany, not for electricity like nuclear power. I don't know where this rumour started (probably somewhere on reddit) but it's just not true.

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not saying that relying so much on Russian gas was a good move or that we couldn't (and shouldn't) have done a lot more to move away from coal. But that particular argument is misinformation.
