The thing is, most people with no technical background will probably get the right meaning from the headline even though it's phrased wrong. I sure did. Because when you buy solar planes, you usually compare efficiency of different products and placements, not the actual efficiency factor.

They would have given her citizenship of another country?

What they probably mean

You mean what is clearly stated in the article?

I don't think so. The "regardless whether or not" part is true, but "might" is usually "if it's actually possible, I don't forget about it and change my opinion an even number of times".

Es ist völlig klar, dass man mit einem Notfall-Gesundheitssystem nicht weniger, sondern mehr Kosten hat, weil Menschen erst behandelt werden, wenn es zu spät ist und erst recht richtig teuer wird.

Nicht, wenn man es ganz zynisch bis zu Ende denkt. Viele Leute schaffen es "zu spät" gar nicht mehr zur Behandlung und an denen kann man sparen. Und bei der zahnärztlichen Behandlung wird es für die Kassen nur dann teuer, wenn es die Leute irgendwann wieder in einen anderen Tarif schaffen.

Klingt für mich fast wie eine Angleichung an den Status von Asylbewerbern. Man muss sich das mal wirklich auf der Zunge zergehen lassen: Nur noch Notfallbehandlung beim Zahnarzt. Das ist nach aktuellem Stand nur "Schmerzbeseitigung", die vom MD (der in der Zahnmedizin nur aus den Kassen willfährigen Ärzten ohne einschlägige Erfahrung besteht) gerne man äußerst restriktiv ausgelegt wird: Zahn raus, sonst nichts.

Komisch, bei uns kann sogar bei der Caritas jeder einkaufen, weil sie einfach zu viele Spenden bekommen. Bedürftige kriegen die Sachen mit Nachweis günstiger oder umsonst.

Die Stoffladensituation allerdings ... bei uns hat letzte Woche der letzte zu gemacht. Ich brauche vielleicht alle fünf Jahre mal für irgendwas Stoff aber wo ich den jetzt herbekommen soll weiß ich auch nicht.

As far as I know they only did this in areas with a lot of US traffic, like around military bases or in tourist towns. It was probably very profitable because they'd give you horrible conversion rates.

Reminds me of my grandpa's best efforts in Spanish: "Dos children and two Erwachsene"

If you find a place that takes USD in cash in Europe, prepare to be ripped off. They only do that because they can overcharge you on the conversion without you noticing it.

Though, many countries in Europe have dishes that are comparable to hashbrowns, a badly made Swiss Rösti for example. Or Dotsch in my region, which is probably even greasier if made right.

Sure it's not just their replacement heads that escaped?

 

The title basically says it all: I'm looking for games with first person perspective that have interesting architecture, preferrably modern or scifi, but historical or fantasy is fine too. The genre isn't important, neither is the quality of the game, as long as it's playable.

An example for this is P.A.M.E.L.A. It's as if the game was an afterthought (and the gameplay definitely feels like an afterthought) and the main goal was to create a plausible scifi city, down to the realistic amount of toilets.

Another one would be the VR game Ghost Town, which had fascinating recreations of Trellick Tower in London.

Are there any more? The more obscure, the better.
