What's the name, translated to German?

Do you really think this party simply "shutting up" will help??

We have a similar problem in some downtown places here - Investors / rich-folk buy them up for reasons, and then when they are done (or 'disused') they sit empty for ever, driving prices up.

I believe I saw a motion (but no action) to tax empty condos at a higher rate than fully-occupied ones.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?" "I can only assume, officer. And I'm not interested."

I'm done with Plex - They won't get my recommendations. My holdoff buying PlexPass were the little bugs that always mattered - Pausing for more than a few minutes HARD locked up the stream, the stream had to re-init to load subtitles, and then the MAJOR issue with "What files is Plex NOT seeing" and other indexing issues. I paid for my Android app, happily. But now, telling me I can't stream my own media, after paying for the app? Y'all can F right off with that. I'll be finally setting up Jellyfin ASAP.

But compared with human eyesight, they could still see more 'colors' - As we see (almost) the same white in incandescent bulbs as LEDs and fluorescents, they might actually see the component colors and their intensities.

Not unlike how we may hear a combination tone when multiple other tones are played, and hear the difference (or sum) of them.

I've got some more random numbers:

8 6 7 5 3 0 9 1 1 2 3 5 8 1 2 4 8 1 6 3 2

It's not that they look random is enough - They need to BE random.

Recheck your lava lamp Wall of Entropy and generate some real rands, scrub. (/s)

I lost the first car I'd purchased outright to a "dead behind the wheel' driver, and I wasn't even in it!

A friend had borrowed the car, just a couple weeks after buying it, and was stopped at an intersection - An older man had a heart attack, barreled through the intersection, hit a pole, and then kept turning and t-boned my friend in my car. No injuries (other than the dead guy) but my car was totaled. Insurance payout was super!

They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.

The opening scene to Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation gives me work anxiety, with the Jeremy Renner as the manager who is shouting at the two people doing the work to work faster (repeatedly) and giving them directions but has no understanding of what they are doing. Then Cruise sweeps in with a new directive and it takes a few tries to get right, under an absurd deadline.

Speak for yourself. I try not to think.

 
 

Have fun with this one!
