Someone in BFC just said that all German university courses are taught in English, which I'm pretty sure is wrong. Is it?

There is a surprising number of Fachhochschulen who offer study courses in English, especially newer ones. The downside is that they are often in small towns and that they are focused on STEM / Econ.

Huh, never knew they even bothered putting Wolf3D on the index. I wonder what makes them unban items though, didnt evil dead 1 get an amnesty a few months back? The studio probably just did some decent lobbying which i doubt anyone is ever gonna bother with for older videogames

The owner of the rights can pay for a re-evaluation of the game/movie/whatever in question. That's how Doom 1/2 were taken off the index.

I'm pretty happy with 1&1. I get the bandwith I'm paying for, the service is okay and there are very few technical problems.

Stay the gently caress away from Vodafone. Everyone I know who is with them hates it. The service is garbage and you only get a fraction of the bandwith you are paying for.

I think the internet needs some rules, more than "none at all" at the very least. Older forums like this one and the one I lost my online virginity to (if anyone cares, it was indiablo.de for general Diablo 2 spergery) slowly and painfully figured out how to put up those rules. In SA's case, it went from "anything goes lol" to "hm maybe we should tell outspoken pedos to gently caress off" to "I guess that also applies to nazis", then they overdid it a bit (especially in PYF and GBS) with stuff like "okay, no more memes ever, this is getting out of hand!!", then relaxed that a little and we're at the current climate. In VERY broad terms and obviously I haven't been around for every part of that development (regd10, yo). Indiablo otoh took a very German approach to the whole thing: rules so strict you (probably) couldn't even curse, not that many people tried (there were Poster who actually Siez'd one another, and I got the habit of signing my posts for a VERY long time there), and very slowly with a sudden shift when a more "casual" crowd arrived with Diablo 3 and drove out a lot of the tryhard old guard, that got more relaxed. I haven't checked India for a while because it's super dead, but whatever, they also found their way and it was a comfortable posting environment for a long while which I don't regret.

Oh poo poo indiablo.de (I think it was just diablo2.de back then) was my first forum too! I got so many warnings for "spam" from the off-topic forum mods...

Took me a few years to discover inquake and instarcraft, those were actually kinda similar to SA.

Private renting owns when the landlords are a the members of a hosed up rich family who don't talk to each other. My grandfather rented a house with a HUGE yard from the late 60's up until his death last year and they never increased his rent from whatever it was in the 60's. They didn't even double it when we switched to the Euro. And he was supposed to pay utilities but he never paid a cent in his life so I guess they paid that too. When he died one of his friends sent them a super low ball offer (like 40% of what they could have gotten on the market) and they accepted without even talking to him once.

All my landlords ever did was to try to gently caress me out of my Kaution :argh:. We clearly need more rich landlords who don't give a gently caress.

If you want to make the whole process as easy as possible you probably want to buy autoflowering seeds (usually just called auto on the seed sites). They will just grow and flower on their own and you don't have to mess around with grow lights.
