  1. That's why pure rye is rather rare used. It would fall apart, you always mix it with some wheat. Rye is cheaper, that's why people tried to use it.

  2.  @wildeast66  you sound more elaborate than just reflecting childhood memories ;-) Something grown local, is cheaper than something not grown local. I cannot follow your "not cheap" story. Wheat needs the best available soil to grow, it's more expensive. Today in supermarket it's the reverse , wheat is cheaper, cause of global trade and high competition. Germanies wheat consumption goes up due to migration of people and food. Pizza, Döner, Burger, Kebap bread, it's all wheat only.

  3. @wildeast66  having more than one bread also started just 150 years ago. And import ment from 100km away, from areas with richer soil. Up to day, germany is self sufficient on wheat. It's not on oats , btw.

  4. There is no common "resignation". Just a few people are upset and make a lot of noise around their emotions. Even in the largest economic boom, they would find something to complain, and deny to realize the optimistic mood of others. Just as you. "Employers don't find anybody to hire" means "Employees find jobs easily, don't have to afraid of loosing a job" .... how can they be depressed ? It's hard to get rid of this complaining mindset.

  5.  @cailwi9  I considered it synonym to the great depression of 1929 and didn't really understand, what difference you tried to explain. Loosing a job and feeling hopeless is the very same thing. Is there a great wave of people quitting their jobs themselve in USA, to find something better ? You kind of assume everybody knows what's going on in USA, and you just refer to this knowledge.

  6. I would rather see a point of failed integration in Italy, if you don't call yourself an Italian. It sounds like , you haven't finally arrived, still loyal with another country and so on.

  7.  @AndrewMFAult  Right, just their self-labeling is confusing people. And as born 1970 you are 5th generation and have 16 grandparents who migrated in 1870. It's very unlikely they are all from the same heritage. So actually it's an arbirtrary pick, which heritage they pronounce. And than is the simple difference between "I'm German(-American", to "I'm of German descent or heritage". One is false, One is true.

  8.  @GGysar  I should go there too see miserable run down places ? Or just because prague is packed ?

  9.  @GGysar  topic was " misconception of east european countries ". You don't mention if you agree or disagree. What have you found in the country side ? When I Would put myself in a car and go your named places, its not ensured I get the same impression as you had.
    1
  10.  @GGysar  Well, so I was supporting your idea, saying tourists don't think that's a third world country and avoid east Europe. Prague probably has more tourists than Nairobi. Why you keep continuing the idea of "missconceptions" ? Who has this and how have you found out about it ? What you want to happen , to have a proof this missconception doesn't exist ? I act like the cold war hasn't ended ? Are you nuts ? How did I gave you this impression ? It's just a bit this image of an undiscovered country, people don't know many neighbors who have been there. This needs more time. But on the other hand, more tourism is not urgently wanted or needed, it's too much already now in some places. So better don't advertise, if you don't want a second Barcelona. And whatever you do, Americans will hardly go and visit Liberec, as well as they don't visit Görlitz. Maybe if you tell them about Grand Budapest Hotel shoot in Görlitz, and Spiderman was shoot in Liberec, they would go. This creates some relation to the spots.

  11. Life is risky. And it's kind of your own responsibility to take part in traffic on a bicycle, to go on a train ride unattended at 10 years, or just to use an escalator. You cannot protect people by prohibiting everything. It's like those helicopter parenting, forbidding their kids to climb a tree. They are rather becoming responsible adults by making experiences, than by doing nothing.

  12. Well, we have to mention, Germany is offering this only to employees and younger people. This covers 95% of all. If you have not taken this offer, it can become a brainer for you.

  13.  @Doso777  It was not about having/not having insurance, It's about the insurance causing headakes or not. A person with private insurance, above 55 has no way to get into public health, A person below 55 hast to be an employee with "not too high" income, to be able to change to public health. And if you are stuck in this insurance, you are facing rates of €1000 and more - independent from your income. They introduced a "base service" for "only 500€, but that's still a lot if you try to live from 1000€.

  14. Eigentlich ist es traurig, wenn wir niemanden ohne 10 Zertifikate und Diplome oder Abschlüsse arbeiten lassen. Deswegen gibts keine Krankenschwestern, Köche oder Programmierer, die bei uns einwandern. Es zählt nur die Aktenlage, nicht das Können.
    1
  15.  @philippschmitz1787  Der Versuch ausländische Abschlüsse anzuerkennen, scheitert zu 83%. Und Einwanderung als Fachkraft, d.h. mit nachgewiesener Ausbildung, ist der einzige legale Weg. Bei Uni-Abschlüssen geht's meistens noch. Jeder bekommt bei uns nach 3 Jahren Ausbildung, nen Gesellenbrief, später evtl. nen Meisterbrief. Sowas gibts im Ausland kaum. Programmierer brauchen keinen digitalen Ausbau. Die schicken meist nur kleine Textmengen rum, wäre selten das hier jemand ne Streaming-Plattform entwickelt.

  16. To invest time in such things, is a signal of a settled life, decent wealth. You don't need to hunt for food anymore, and want to spend your time useful somehow. Yes, in threat situation you look for friends, hence - without a threat you don't need to. If at all there is this black/white/asian division in US, still trying to become homogenous. The irish/scottish heritage, is yet another level.

  18. Don't mix up with "Bachelor of science" "Bsc.", often short referred to as bachelor. Bsc. Is from university.

  19. "open minded" I consider more as "I don't care what somebody else does".

  20. yeah, it's just the largest group of similiar culture. It's like indian food style can be found in Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh as well. It's always perceived as Indian.

  21. Don drill at 3am and on sunday. What's so complicated ? The 80db limit refers to hard machinery. Don't tear down walls on sundays.

  22.  @AndrewMFAult  Especially without phone and internet, what does strong connection mean ? You write letters ? And since the main emigration wave was 1850-1880, it has been the migrants itself keeping contact to their parents or siblings. Usually 3rd generation is loosing interest in contacts. You have no personal relation to the people there any more. You know there is an 4th degree cousin, which you never saw, that's like a nobody.

  23. It's all paid by insurances and absolutly nothing is paid by the state, except this Hartz IV thing, this is tax-money. People are othen insurance holders and tax payers, and mix up who "the state" is, and who not.

  24. If the main thing is American, the other thing comes first. Like "a red car". the attribute in front of the subject. It might reverse in other languages, like "le voiture rouge" in french.

  25. That's not different for breakfast and lunch. It's just not that common anymore. "Mittagbrot" was common too.

  26. Not really special bread, but they have their own oven, one rests the dough for 6 hours, another for 48 hours, and that makes the little differences.

  27. But the need for this architecture, came by the immense raise of industry beginning with 1871, making Berlin capital of Germany.

  28. Every intention to change something is "highly politicized". Wouldn't be different in Germany. Change something slightly working and you will earn protests.

  29. Sure, if you want to. A conflict is raised only if a "real" Neanderthaler claims copyright on the term. This is very unlikely.

  30. There is nothing like a doubling population within 20-30 years in Europe. So the simliarities are on a low low level. Germany gained 4% in population within 30 years.

  31. Other countries make their own beef. Only reason to buy from abroad is when it's cheaper. Is the US buying beef from anywhere?

  32. But too many rules, can make things stall. It prevents any creativity.

  33.  @tudormiller887  It's not a product, it's a category. You won't find anything labeled "swiss cheese" or "Muesli" in a shelf. You find appenzeller, and emmentaler, or gruyere and so on. But it's like talking about italian cars, not caring if you have little Fiat 500 or Ferrari in mind. I see sometimes Americans putting "Swiss cheese" in a recipe, I would have no idea what type of cheese this is.
    1
  34.  @tudormiller887  No idea, what they do. I hear more people talking about cheese, than they talk about the Osbournes.

  35. ​ @Joe-ez3gt there where ? In france its pommes frites. Americans gives it own names. Britain says Chips. Origin is not so important for them. They even call the netherlander the dutch, although this term means ' german '.
    1
  36. ​ @Joe-ez3gt no that's not true, it's almost default, but more specific, Emmentaler, champaign, stilton, Frankfurter, Wiener Schnitzel, ragout Bolognese, prosciutto di Parma,...

  37. ​ @ultimatewafflegaming1018 ok, but the latter ones are more Marketing inventions from the last decades. That are not historic names. Hamburger also have no relation to Hamburg.
    1
  38. ​ @ultimatewafflegaming1018 definitly not. Completly unknown, brought to germany by McDonald's in the 70ies. Never seen before. Beef is much too expensive, not for the common man, and germans put bread and eggs in their meatballs. The burger bun is a french brioche. The habit of Holding the meat with bread and eating without sitting down, might be the only german thing.

  39. ​ @ultimatewafflegaming1018 diversity is artificially created for Marketing reasons, to impose to have something new or unique, without beeing very innovative. A cook, beeing creative, inventing a new dish, does not need to name it. A food chain has to.

  40. There is no other name for a 3 years education in English. IT's the closest you find.

  41.  @mrechbreger  It's as hard to divide sick people from simulants, of course there are ghost riders. Before governements existed, this was organized by the church, you made your donations for the poor. The question "what to you get back from the poor" is inhuman. The difference to taxes is, the donation is an obligation. I never heard people, the church is scamming them. With entrepreneurs you might mix something up. They do not have a monhtly income, they cannot pay a share of their income. So they pay a fixed amount of money, also if they have no income. This is the same, as you do in USA. Same is for retirement. How much you get in USA ? $0. There is no governemental plan. From this point of view, 50% is pretty much, the idea is, to have additional insurances, In USA you have to cover 100% or as much as you want, in Germany this private insurance should cover maybe 10-50%, or as much as you want. So 50% is base security, and more than nothing, isn't it. I'm an entrepeneur. I have nothing, and I'm unable to compute "50%" of my last income, cause it fluctuates from year to year anyway. On year 30K one year 80K. You don't adapt your Lifestyle to the 80K.

  42.  @Politik-mit-Kopf  .. und nicht einschätzen kannst, ob das früh genug ist, oder ob andere vielleicht dringendere Probleme haben. Wenn beim Bäcker vor dir 6 Mann anstehen, ärgerst Du dich auch dass Du lange warten muss. Und wenn dann noch einer reinkommt und sagt "Ich hab's eilig, lasst mich mal vor". dann ist das Verständnis nur gering, wenn Du dessen story nicht kennst. DIe hohe Auslastung von CT geräten ist ein Garant dafür, dass die so "billig" sind. Man könnte eventuell Termine nachts um 3 einführen, wenn man das noch verbessern wollte. Wenn Fälle unregelmäßig kommen, dann ist Warteschlangenbildung normal, die Entscheidung wann man wegen Warteschlangen die Kapazitäten erhöht ist schwierig. Denn Leerlauf darf auch nicht entstehen. Es darf nicht andersrum passieren, das man Leute nur scannt, damit die Geräte ausgelastet sind. Das ist zum Teil in den USA der Fall.

  43.  @DaDunge  Maybe you don't know many cities. The railway station is a nightmare made of concrete, only the lake in the citiy is a highlight. It's like a small town, just bigger ;-)

  44. It's simply too soft and wobbly. Toasting gives some stability.

  45. Cause "Ausbildung" has no equivalent anywhere else. Ausbildung is 3 years, Bachelor is 2 years. Telling that to people they are confused, what is "more".

  46. You talk about "Bachelor of Art", she was talking about "Bachelor", you are unaware of the differences. "Arts and Sciences" is the academic world. BA-Degree and Bachelor degree is not the same thing.....just in german the term is only used for the BA Or BSc.

  47.  @Atlantjan  This is reverse logic , cause Bachelor degree in europe you can only aquire in universities. This does not really help to find a proper translation for Geselle. An American trade school is ending with just diploma or certificates, but it's only 9months education. So this is what EU needs to qualify as "not close to Bachelor". But a german trade school with 3 years of education might be termed Bachelor.
    1
  48.  @Atlantjan  But there is no other term in english. It's 4 times more intense than a trade school. Finishing school and Finishing high school is the very same thing in USA. There is no Abitur equivalent either. Leaving with 16 is a dropout. So in the age of 20, you can be Bachelor in any meaning. That's the common thing. You just discuss about, is it special or general education or academic or less academic. Apprenticeship can just mean "training on the job" or beeing a Trainee, it's not a fixed definition.

  49. So what's the difference from ancestry to identity, if you claim there is one. Identity you can willingly change maybe, but if you don't you take your anchestry instead.

  50. The countries in Africa did not exist, they are all defined by colonists, mainly after the slavery era. So you had to pick from maybe 2000 ethnic groups in Africa. And this knowledge got lost, cause the groups (the slaves) were all mixed from different origins. To maintain a culture you need a group of same people.
