The advantage is that in the tween years you can still rock out on the parents dime. After that though, your destiny is your own. Of in many cases, the spouse.

Actually, I say that every year. :lol:

But with how much eagerness can you summon to say it each year?

Pardon? Remember, you talk to a Hun here...

:lol:, what exactly does that mean though? I thought the name Hun was derogatory.

That I simply didn't understand the question. :lol:

Also only the Brits think that Hun is derogatory to Germans. After all, it was our emperor back then to use it and compare his soldiers to the infamous Huns.

Its like Kraut. When they use it, is derogatory. When we use it, its cool. Like Krautrock.

You know you'll lose the war when the commander of your army compares your troops to a kind of warfare based on cavalry...in 1900.

Two historical mistakes: Cavalry already proved inefficient in the US Civil War. Well, not inefficient but not as great as 400 AD. Europeans just didn't realize it.
The emperor wasn't the commander of the army.

Deja Vu: "Well, Mr. Rivers. It would seem that you have become . . . how do you say 'indispensable' . . .?"

Nick Rivers: "Indispensable."

Deja Vu: "That's what I thought."

But physics have a beauty to it!

Physics and technology is magic for those, who don't understand it.
So they might see wizards sit in a hall waving hands over dolls:

I wonder how many of you understand how these dolls work (it's a poll, not presuming technological ignorance), without googling the key words?

Many of you are using the technology in question daily, and some are using it right now.

Seems to be something resembling a theremin. I can't say I know accurately how they work, but it's something about disturbing/changing an electromagnetic field, and I guess that would have similarity to touchscreens. (something you may be using right now)

Edit: And after Googling, I see the thing is at least what I expected: A theremin with only one (pitch) control. (for one, allowing a vertical body)

A tornado has devastated a camping site in Southern Germany today afternoon, luckily no deaths, only 27 injuries, two severe. It hit a youth camp at a popular lake and then moved into the trailer park (Tornadoes are really a bit attracted by trailer parks, aren't they?). Financial damages are estimated to be as high as 200,000 €.

Pretty much it.
Here is that hundred-year-old beauty of physics with it's creator doing the waving:

Ouch.
Isn't tornadoes a rare thing in Germany?

 

[Urwumpe]

Isn't tornadoes a rare thing in Germany?

Happens only 60-100 times per year.

 

[MattBaker]

But I would say pretty rare in that area, usually they're further to the north.

Just got a copy of Falcon 3.0 Gold in the mail, and the manuals alone must weigh a few pounds! While Falcon 3.0 may not be as high fidelity as Falcon 4.0 or BMS, it certainly makes up for that in character and variety, especially with the F/A-18 and MiG-29 expansions in my opinion. Gotta love the oldies.

I'll be damned if I'm not going nuts. So I'm reading a thread on O-F and I get this weird flicker in just one pixel line across the entire screen, (think a loose monitor cable) but I scroll up. It follows the page. I switch to a different tab, same thing. I jump to the desktop, it's there, but doesn't move. Pretty sure I've got some gremlins in this thing.

Now for some odd reason I'n been humming Beethoven's 9th symphony all night long here at work.
