To be honest software development and archaeology have a lot in common.

In Germany we call you a “Mädchen für alles”

Did you know there is last aid? It’s a project, pretty much like first aid, that aims to educate as many people as possible about end-of-life care.

It’s amazing and everyone should learn about last aid!

I don’t like the stereotype (and it is just a stereotype) of German being a ‘screamy’ language.

Yeah it’s exactly that: Stereotype and being used to a certain melody in a language. For me (German) Arabic often sounds aggressive for some reason… Farsi and Dari sound pleasent though. I don’t understand neither of them…

Even in Germany we consider some other dialects rude or aggressive sounding. For a lot of people Berlin’s dialect sounds rude or some people from the north have the same feeling with some dialects from the sound. (For me it’s the dialects spoken in the Black Forest).

Language is weird.

Oh no, you got me… I feel stupid now. 🙄

It IS an endless amount of clothes 😭

Laundry with three kids… Worst thing ever…

Just ever so slightly losing grip on wet tarmac while taking a bend a little bit too fast and in your head you’re chanting “Lean, don’t break! Lean, don’t break!” to yourself…

I envy you…

Which browser did you switch to?

Zahl der Drogendelikte laut Kriminalitätsstatistik um 1/3 gesunken ist ja schon eine Ansage…

Moreover, he always seemed to be the one with the greatest environmental awareness among the entire TopGear team.

Which means you have to check each and every formula and we all now how difficult it is to read and understand excel formulas we didn’t write ourselves…

Kinda off-topic but I have a Rotring fountain pen that looks nice but writing with it is really a sad experience…

Okay you got a point. Luckily I don’t have to do lots of math on paper in my day to day life.

Who writes with a pencil? Drawing… Okay… But writing is what fountain pens are for.

NP++ is great but sometimes you want something even more minimal… I for example hate NP++'s icon toolbar and it’s cluttered menu bar and would never use it even though I acknowledge that it’s a great tool (just not for me).

Classic notepad.exe with basic syntax highlighting would be amazing…

Is it though? I thought we just had different regional names but we generelly agree that Pfannkuchen are the big flat ones and Pancakes are the small thick ones.

Those lunatics in Berlin though…

German income tax works the same and most Germans get it wrong too. It’s really infuriating.

German’s my first language and I am kinda proficient in english but I never realized that the english numbers 13 to 19 work like like ours…
