Dont know for UK, but here in Germany they sell two versions. One with nikotin and one with just flavored Vape. This one is of course allowed for teens and they love to vape and feel as cool smokers. When they become 18 (with 18 you are adult and allowed to smoke) they just go on with the nikotin variant. This company is so evil… Making teens psychologically addicted to then add nikotin.

Thanks for sharing - didnt know. Thats a long list … So which search engine is good and privacy friendly then?

Dont know if this helps,but on the f-droid store (open source app store), there is an app called spotiflyer, that downloads musicfiles from spotify as mp3.

Whats normal and whats highspeed in your case? I consider Them for my daily way to work but go rather fast (25km/h to 30) cause its a long way to go…

Thats so cool! Thanks. :)

In germany many technical universities offer .sty packages in the corporate design. Really cool!

I thought so, and also because of that try not to buy overseas and generally buy second Hand and local, but still its terrible to hear that it is indeed this way. :/

I dont know if you enjoy singing , but in many countries here in Europe, there are lots of choirs for all types of music, as well as for beginners, for almost professionals and usually all ages mixed or lots of people above 40. Usually people go for a drink after rehearsal but not for the alcohol but for the company. In my choir many that come to the bar after rehearsal just drink something nonalcoholic.

Here, 40 is also an age where people still go to bars without feeling weird about it. Of course there are a few bars only full of Students but there are still lots of bars with people above 40 too.

Try onlyoffice: https://www.onlyoffice.com/

I think libreoffice has more functions, but is a bit confusing at the beginning and sadly quite ugly. So if you belong to those who cannot work in ugly environments, and use office for simple and small documents onlyoffice is perfect. It looks better and is closer to word…

In german I can find lots of articles from trustworthy newspapers, but in English my short research only found this article from the telegraph. Dont know if this is a good newspaper but what they speak of is the same I read in German newspapers. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/09/28/tesla-amputation-union-germany-grnheide-injured-burns-cars/

Two days before there was news about the giga factory close to Berlin where they produce batteries for tesla. Its incredibly unsafe to work there. Other German car factory have 2/3 less accidents and less severe ones. The article was really alarming. Everyone spoke about it. Then followed the x about the afd. Now everyone speaks about that. Smart move. Please let’s speak about people almost dying in those factories again!

There is no german fast food except curry Wurst in Berlin. That doesnt mean there is no good german food. Just in Berlin there are viewer Restaurants selling german food than asian/ middle East and italian food and there is a lot of fast food. I dont know why there are so few German restaurants. In Munich you find more of them…

You seriously shouldnt. Of course it matters whether people feel physically attracted to someonee… But attractiveness is not the same as beauty. I noticed that a big push for being attractive is a high self confidence. I personally also get attracted when someone speaks really passionate about something.

Piano as well. I don’t write my own music, but love to play with the old ones like playing really fast or slow or loud or … sadly I am not of good in improvising on the piano but with singing its fine.

Edit: typo

Playing an instrument. Not on stage for others but at home all by myself just for myself. :)

I am also german. Of course not everyone here cares about privacy, but in average much more people than in other countries I would say. But the “average german” uses FB and WhatsApp. However, many like me never had them installed.

I think it’s because of our recent history full of spying secret services (Nazis and east germany) and the education in family and in school about the history. My family is from East germany. The stasi (east german secret service) observed everyone they could with hidden microphones in private rooms, reading your lettters, force your friends to spy on you etc. So the people that raised me are very aware of spying… From my grandparents and parents stories I cared about privacy from the beginning. My parents also used Linux since I remember them using computers and gave us phones with lineage etc… …
