Are you saying US-american table saws can't be more precise than 2.5cm (an inch)?

The commercial Roma tomatoes are awful in taste and texture.

Budyonovki for example have a very different texture. Not squeaky but soft like a very ripe pear.

I don't know. Ideally you want to be hard to distinguish from nature, but once you spot someone, you want to know if it's friend or foe. That's why Ukraine wears bands of yellow, green or blue tape around their helmets, knees and shoulders and Russia the same in red or white.

Why do their uniforms look like the Canadian camo pattern?

Edit: MARPAT (US marine pattern) is straight up copied from CADPAT.

I think digital/pixelised patterns look unbelievably generic on any countries military. However the colours here look even worse than Canada's (they get a pass as the inventor of pixelised patterns). It just doesn't fit with America, does it?

so that everyone can get your very clever reference :)

I got turned towards Libertanianism when I lived in Germany for a while and if you ever had you'd know why.

Living in Germany rn. I don't get it? Can you please explain?

These things should never come down to the individual skill of the programmer. There should be systems and checks in place to assure the quality. And if the quality isn't reached, the programmer needs enough time and support to reach them.

But we all know, being thorough doesn't pay.

Good idea, but I think "remain silent" applies a bit more generally. The phrase "you have the right to remain silent" is always translated to "sie haben das Recht zu schweigen". So I went with that.

("schweigen" being the verb I'm looking for here)

Good call, I didn't know that. This is the original

    
Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten,
habe ich geschwiegen,
ich war ja kein Kommunist.

Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,
habe ich geschwiegen,
ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.

Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten,
habe ich geschwiegen,
ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.

Als sie mich holten,
gab es keinen mehr,
der protestieren konnte.

  

It's not straight forward to translate, because there is no active verb in English for "to remain silent".

    
When the Nazis came and took the communists 
I remained silent
Since I wasn't a communist.

When they imprisoned the social democrats 
I remained silent
Since I wasn't a social democrat.

When they took the trade unionists 
I remained silent
Since I wasn't a trade unionist.

When they took me
There was no one left
Who could protest. 

  

Tetris is about trying to fit into a society, that wants to destroy you.

Space invader is about uniting all of earth's peoples against a common challenge.

Pong is about the heated but honest exchange of ideas that makes a democracy stronger.

(/jk I agree with you)

Have you ever experienced not being French in France?

Yes. And always have they been nice and helpful to me. When they sensed that I was stuck with my french, they tried to switch to English. Which wasn't better than my french, but hey, who's counting.

Have you ever experienced the French in their (former) colonies, how they act towards the locals?

No. And I respect that the perspective from (former) colonies can be quite negative.

Have you ever experienced a French tourist in a different country, being angry because not everyone speaks French?

No, not ever. I have heard tourists speaking french here and there, but no notable occurrences.

I doubt you are French

I'm not.

Laughing about the "Fr*nch" without knowing why is an uneducated thing.

As you are probably Swedish or German, I expect more informed jokes than just >hatred towards France, the French people [etc.]

Sad. I was hoping these uncreative, racist jokes wouldn't appear under this comment.

At least make a joke about things the french do or say, then it would be racist but funny.

Only Faber-Castell for me

What do you mean? Are one's native language and the validity of one's opinion connected?

I support this. Here I'll give you some german ones

Benjamin Blümchen, Biene Maja, Wickie und die starken Männer, Kleiner Dodo, Lars der kleine Eisbär

Just fyi, in French orthography it is correct to put a space before a question mark. So please don't disregard comments here on international lemmy, since i.e. phone keyboards put it there automatically.

I want to answer honestly as well. I looked up the numbers, and we have 2 million wild boars in Germany. Germany has roughly the size of Montana.

High estimates say, there are 9 Mio in the US, 3 Mio in Texas (twice as large as Germany). So the numbers are rooouuughly comparable, a little more swine here in DE.

I guess, the feral hogs are really back to being wild nowadays despite stemming from domesticated pigs. So I will classify them as scary as a wild boar. Which they are, they are scary.

How do we manage this? Each year about 600 000 boars are shot by professional hunters. The general population doesn't need weapons for that. And the hunting rifles are bolt action or single action, not automatics.

The main damage they cause is not to live and limb, but to property, namely crop fields. Our solution is, that each hunter is assigned a district and a number he must shoot. If the farmland in his area is damaged more than x% that is also his responsibility.

Good article with great quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

My grandpa once told me a story

Of when he worked in the bycicle factory

And the delivery of bike chains didn't come in

So for producing. enough. bikes.

They took the chains from the finished products

And brought the dismembered and the new bicycle. into. storage.

Another one on the list for the five year plan.
