Yeah they got into the supply route and added c4 to all those pagers. Makes me wonder how many pagers or smartphones have added explosives still.

Success has many parents. Failure is an orphan.

I don't know. In my country no gas can be paid unless the nozzle has been placed back. The machine registers as "still pumping", and the gas station attendant sees this and cannot process the payment. Why you would do this any other way baffles my mind.

Knew a programmer that was near blind who only used magnifier on maximum zoom with his IDE. One of the best programmers I met, but his screen looked very much like that. Don't know how he did it.

Yeah you'll get downvoted, because spending 5k on cold hamburgers from McDonald's ist not something anybody would do. It's something an idiot would do. Everyone with two brain cells would have started calling large restaurants or catering providers and ask them if they can make something happen.

It's actually a Caipirinha. I think I remember drinking a freshly juiced one at a bar once.

Little book full of German religious psalms and poetry, printed 1692. Not worth much really, but smells great and is fun to look at. Have to be careful with it though, quite brittle if still in good shape.

Same here. This was such a hostile move I never bought anything "Sony" after that.

Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. Usually the "The Hero Dies Tragically" theme.

Used in Platoon at Elias' death for example.

Wtf. Genetic information. So they can take your DNA after bringing your car in for service and sell it?

Laut Micha Cheroudin ein Trümmerteil auf der Fahrbahn, das einen Reifen zerstört hat. Bei 200kmh plus bei Einfahrt Tiergarten hat sich das Fahrzeug sofort quergestellt und mehrfach überschlagen. Wenn die Sicherheitsgurte herausreißen und die Menschen aus der Fahrzeug fliegen, kann man auch vorstellen was für Kräfte da gewirkt haben. Keine Chance.
