nah, the traditional one cooked with lots of lamb fat over wood fire is still the best

gemuese kebap is also good, however

still haven't found a good chicken kebap outside of istanbul tho

They have a Döner at the station here that claims to be lamb steaks stacked on top of each other instead of the weird Gammelhackfleisch melange everyone has, gotta try that sometime. Same shop sells the Döner neat, too, by the kilo.

in Chili news, another pod has double sprouted, another sprout has seemingly withered (it looks like a burnt match), bringing the total Keimrate to 28/28 if you count the seemingly withered one. Two pods aren't showing any Keim at all.

In a non-related manner, I'm leaving for DAS NIEDERLANDENTUM tomorrow, and since I haven't crossed borders since Q3 2017, I went through the regular routine of checking with my mobile provider which data package I would need to book so I could get like 500mb of surfing funtimes while abroad, and my searching ended up being a completely resultless mess. Even Congstar-Sophie told me everything's chill unless I'm in Switzerland.

So I ended up calling support and they told me that roaming within the EU now means I can use my Handytarif anywhere within the EU just like I'm in Deutschland, and should probably take a chill pill.
I thanked them very much, and then came straight to this thread.

Are you loving kidding me? :stare:

EU is good for you

I'm keeping my Austrian SIM (and a German one to not feel dirty) because they have an insane 4€/Month for 1 GB internet deal, no other strings attached (so I would pay per call and SMS, if I actually used it for anything). I've lived in France and Sweden since leaving Austria and have been in Germany of course, and it's the same 4€/Month always and forever. Gotta be careful when traveling to the UK soon :razz:

Commissioners and MEPs have a lot of different ideas wrt. politics, but they all have the following traits in common:
  • Own cell phones
  • Must travel across borders regularly

So the EU was pretty much on top of fighting the evil of roaming charges.

Yeah, the abolition of roaming fees is absolutely wonderful and saved me so much hassle once it was introduced. Just gotta be careful when hiking near the Swiss border, phones like to randomly switch over to the Swiss network there.

Depending on your package you can still get charged an arm and a leg for things like receiving calls abroad, can't you? Someone was telling me a while ago that they got a big bill for that, despite having an EU prepaid and travelling within the EU. Maybe I am misremembering though

Yeah, the change went into effect around August 2016. I know because I was in Norway at the time and a Telekom guy literally called me to tell me about it. I'd already been scrounging free pub wifi for a couple of days and at first thought "great, the happening matters just as I'm outside of the EU" but nope, Norway is included too. That call was :nsa: / :tinfoil: as gently caress, but also really convenient.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

So they feel frustrated because they think they can't influence politics, but they also want a strong Führer? I guess our education system has failed if the next generation is so bad at logic

Having the same opinions doesn't mean you magically influence politics. In a dictatorship your political influence outside the dictator's clique is always zero. Thinking otherwise just makes one delusional.

Afaik it wasn’t required, but it definitely was heavily encouraged, and the NSDAP and its supporters exerted a strong social pressure to hang it up. The state took care to make sure that everybody had a copy of Mein Kampf and a portrait of Hitler at home (eg by handing them out as gifts during civil marriages), and refusing it would have put you immediately on the nazis‘ shitlist, I guess. I know that my great-grandfather got one and only put it up when he was visited by people he knew to be nazis, for example.

Kurioses
In den 1970er Jahren wurden bei Arbeiten in der Fahrrinne des Rheins zwei angebliche Öltanks gefunden und in den Pylonen der Brücke zwischengelagert. Dort fand eine Anbohrung der Tanks statt, um den Inhalt zu überprüfen. Hinterher stellte sich heraus, dass die vermeintlichen Öltanks scharfe englische Sprengbomben aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg waren.

Vorfälle
Am 10. November 1975 entkamen drei Jaguare aus ihrem Gehege. Ein Pfleger wurde angegriffen, woraufhin das Tier von der Polizei erschossen wurde, die beiden anderen konnten eingefangen werden.[67]
Am 10. Oktober 1985 brach der Schimpanse Petermann aus seinem Gehege aus und verletzte den damaligen Direktor Gunther Nogge lebensgefährlich. Das Tier wurde daraufhin von der Polizei erschossen.[68]
Im August 1988 konnte ein Grizzly aus seinem Gehege entkommen. Nachdem er einen Baum ausgerissen und mit dessen Hilfe einen ansonsten unüberwindlichen Wassergraben überquert hatte, wurde er durch einen Pfleger erschossen.[67]
In den 1980er Jahren wurde ein Mann von einem Löwen getötet, ein anderer von einem Tiger schwer verletzt. Beide Männer waren über Absperrungen geklettert.[67]
Am 25. August 2012 attackierte der Sibirische Tiger Altai seine Pflegerin und verletzte sie tödlich. Das Tier war durch eine offen gelassene Sicherheitsschleuse in einen überdachten Teil seines Geheges eingedrungen, den die Tierpflegerin gerade säuberte. Der Kater wurde von Direktor Theo Pagel mit einem Gewehr erschossen, um Rettungskräften Zugang zu der Pflegerin zu ermöglichen.[68]

Bei der Offenlegung der Finanzen des Erzbistums Köln im Februar 2015 wurde der Dom mit einem Wert von 27 Euro bilanziert,[88] obwohl das Erzbistum nicht Eigentümer des Doms ist.[89]

quote:

Im Mai 2005 vermeldete der 1. FC Köln den Abschluss eines neuen Trikotsponsor-Vertrags mit dem Inselstaat Zypern, vertreten durch eine zyprische Firma namens „Satena Holding Ltd.“. Beworben werden sollte die Insel als touristisches Ziel. Wenige Wochen später hatte der WDR nach Recherchen herausgefunden, dass die Firma gar nicht existierte und ein derartiger Auftrag des zyprischen Tourismusverbandes auch nie bestanden hatte.

Randler

ACER ET VEHEMENS BONAVIS
Das dürften Erinnerungswerte sein, die vereinfacht gesagt einem Wertansatz von "0" entsprechen.

Ob das Grundstück und der Dom (in welcher Form auch immer) als VG in der Bilanz des Erzbistum dem Grunde nach stehen müssten kann ich aus dem Stehgreif nicht sagen, aber es ist nicht so, dass stets nur der Eigentümer den VG aktiviert.

Mal ganz abgesehen davon, dass die ganzen Wikipedia-Artikel zu der Thematik extremst schlampig geschrieben wurden, wenn es um die Eigentumslage geht. Aber was soll man von Kölnern auch sonst schon erwarten. :colbert:
