Cars wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t so oversized

And if there weren’t so many of them.

It’s possible that the name originated during the napoleonic occupation of Hamburg, but there are other theories involving a baker named Franz. Anyway, it’s neither french nor bread, it’s a pastry.

Putin and Trump are the same threat, just look at what they do in Hungary.

Hamburg isn’t really a pretzel state. If you visit, get a Franzbrötchen. Beer is the same as everywhere else more or less.

You never read a book more than once?

Considering that they use DC internally Tesla was never a good name.

I’d trust her with my life.

Who decides what is a culture war and what is policy?

Which system do you prefer instead?

Which desktop environments are you using on those systems?
