Don't know about the rest of Europe, but in Germany you cannot just choose freely what happens to your remains.

They must be handled by an undertaker and there are laws about how and where remains can be buried.
I think there are discussions to loosen some of those restrictions to maybe allow for remains to get worked into trinkets or jewelery and stuff, but I don't really know how far along those discussions are.

It is basically unheard of to have the ashes of a loved one in an urn at home, like you see in movies.

There actually are even laws for the remains of pets, but I think they are not really enforced and most pet owners that I know don't care and bury their pets somewhere private.
We surely didn't give away the remains of our family dog.
She sleeps in the shade of a nice big bush now.

I completely agree with the first paragraph.

If I had to poach an older egg, I would put it in a kitchen strainer first (actually I mostly do this wish fresh eggs as well if I'm not too lazy that day).

The egg white of a fresh egg usually is still inside a small membrane-like thingy, but with time some of it leaks out, which becomes the fuzzy white when you poach an older egg.
Straining the egg removes most of it and makes the egg somewhat poachable again.

I also would still recommend fresh eggs, though.

Edit: I am pretty sure I learned that from Kenji Lopez-Alt.
Pretty sure he has a video about it on his youtube channel.

I have actually (partially) seen Korra, but I didn't remember that it also went under the name "Last Airbender".

I thought that specifically referred to Aang's story.

He put the bottle on the bun tree when it was still small and let it grow inside the bottle.

New Avatar: Last Airbender animated series in the works.

What's wrong with the old one that there is need for a new one?

Edit: It seems I got confused by the fact that the new series is also called "Last Airbender", which I thought was specifically referring to Aang's story.

I am aware of the legend of Korra.
I wasn't aware that other stories in the Avatar universe still went under the name "Last Airbender".

Thanks for the explanations.

Wenn man mich fragen würde, was in dieser Situation wohl der Vorschlag eines comichaft überzeichneten Bösewichts wäre, hätte ich vermutlich gesagt "Pendlerpauschale erhöhen und vielleicht Steuer auf Diesel senken."

Es gibt vieles an Dobrindt, was man berechtigterweise verachten kann.

Hier hat dann ursprünglich noch ein Halbsatz begonnen, der mit einem "aber" gestartet wäre.
Den habe ich kurz gelöscht um ihn in etwas umzustellen und dabei gemerkt, dass der erste Teil eigentlich auch alleine schon reicht.

Thanks for the nice reply.

I am sorry I worded my comment so harshly, it was not my finest moment.
I was agitated from another thing in my life and lashed out randomly, I am sorry.

I had since deleted it and hoped it was never seen.

I am very much with you on the topic at hand, blood does not necessarily make great families and great families can be made without blood relations.

That's just normal mashed potatoes in France.

Oh da hatte ich echt zu viel falsch, wenn man bedenkt, dass ich in einer Steuerabteilung arbeite und viel mir der USt zu tun habe.

Das darf ich nicht meiner Chefin zeigen.

Ist aber auch teilweise wirklich seltsam was da reduziert ist und was nicht.

Aber je mehr Widerstand gegen die Merz-Regierung aus den eigenen Reihen, desto besser.

Solange der Widerstand nicht kommt, weil die Politik manchen noch nicht rechts genug ist.
Und diesen Widerstand gibt es leider auch.

Gibt beispielsweise in BW gerade genug Stimmen in der CDU die immer noch sauer wegen der eingebildeten Schmutzkampagne sind und lieber selber den MP mit Hilfe der AfD stellen wollen, statt Özdemir zu stützen.
