The two examples are totally different things. I don’t get it.

He was a Dr. indeed! And what a doctor he was.

May I remind you all of Mr. Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov, who was known for a successful

Danke Merkel!

I need a sabbatical. Canada maybe or New Zealand. A retreat to a monastery also sounds nice. I will rebuild an old farm house. Something along these lines. :)

It doesn’t have to be the truth, or does it?

Defenestration
Notable autodefenestrations:

On July 9, 1993, the prominent Toronto attorney Garry Hoy fell from a 24th story window in an attempt to demonstrate to a group of new legal interns that the windows of the city’s Toronto-Dominion Centre were unbreakable. He performed the same stunt on several previous occasions – dramatically slamming his body against the window – but this time it popped out of its frame and he fell to his death. The accident was commemorated by a 1996 Darwin Award and has been re-enacted in several films and television shows.

Some people are just one hit wonders, so it could be für nothing. But it would be worth a try.

It’s definitively better than to give the idea of nuclear fission to Henry Cavendish in 1766. Right now we live in the sweet spot between discovery and… broad practical application.

But introversion just means that talking decreases someone’s energy. Does it also mean that introverts don’t want to talk with others about topics that interest them? I thought, that this isn’t the case.

PS: Yes I get it. It’s meant to be paradox/ absurd by contrasting the two contradictory statements with each other. :)

Too late maybe. :)

Why is it out already? It should be in! They just have published it.

You seem ambivalent about the topic. I understand your arguments, but I don’t agree with your solution. That doesn’t need to bother you. We probably have very different requirements for transportation.

I live in an area where I don’t need a car to get where I want to - bike, bus and train are sufficient. And I don’t normally need to transport so much that I need a car. And if I need a car I get a rental for a short time.

Sometimes I shake my head a little in disbelief because I find the trend towards more individual transportation within large cars concerning. But then again my lifestyle isn’t for everyone and who am I to judge? (But I’m entitled to my own opinion. ;)

Just get an even bigger car, it will keep you safe from those.

The market just isn’t ready, yet.

So many orphaned comments and no post. Strange.

Ha. Thanks. It smelled like deception to me, now I’m at ease. ;)

Interesting. Those words really do exist. I looked them all up. But haku seems to mean kingfish - so not something one wears on the head or is it?

I feel strangely meloncholic now.

It says prevent, not extinguish. Sorry. Nevertheless I appreciate the effort. :)
