Excuse me, but Burg is a castle build for defence. People of the area could get behind their walls in a case of attack, so many settled in close proximity for safety. The resulting town was often called Burg in the middle ages, but thats not true for today.
In todays language Burg does not mean town anymore. It is only used for a kind of castle. You can’t ask “In welcher Burg wohnst du?”
Unless you still live in the middle ages of course.
With a language that can’t even comprehend all of their own letters and has to call one “double-U”, they can’t comprehend additional letters…
Can’t take a joke, can ya?
Just FYI, the International Space Station has Internet access.
That reminds me of the scientists who were in a “Moon Mission” Simulation in a remote area and completely cut from all society, going in before the pandemic and coming out of isolation in the hight of Corona and social distancing and stay at home orders.
I bet they wished it was a prank with ape costumes.
You live in Gilead by any chance?

There is a place for soft, chewy cookies and a place for crispy, crunchy cookies in this world.
Ha. I’m here for quite a while now and I still have no clue about how lemmy, the fediverse and their instances work.
But as soon as I do, I just might reanimate a Tony Hawk community.

Since gender is a social construct, I’d say there are as many as we as a society construct. And if you grow up tomorrow and feel like you, as a part of this society doesn’t see yourself in the ones we already constructed, you just construct a new one.
So I’d sa, how many genders there are is fluid. But absolutely AT LEAST 3.
I’m so glad this turned out successful for her.
Imagine, like all Olympic athletes, she worked her ass off for months and years to get there. To be the best in her sport she can be. Sacrificing a lot in the process, including some of her femininity, building up what is considered masculine muscles and body parts. Boxing isn’t a feminine sport, you can’t do it without building a lot of muscle mass that isn’t very feminine. And btw heavy weight training on a professional level can also result in a hormonal inbalance in women where the estrogen levels fall and the body produces more testosterone.
Then she gets there after all this work and sacrifice, just wanting to concentrate on her sport and being the best athlete she can be and the whole world just ripps her apart. And instead of focusing on her competitions, she is constantly bombarded by bigots and know-it -alls who think they have a right to judge and question her body.
Do the arms fall off, if they fired once or why can’t he use the same one twice?
Yeah, that Panda is a leftover from better times when China gave them as diplomatic gifts. Its the offspring of 2 Pandas that were originally given to mexico before the 1980’s when China stopped gifting and started the lending thing.
There are 2 more, that are not considered a loan, in Taiwan. But they are more a “F*ck your independence, you belong to us anyways”-gifts with the Chinese arguing that it was an inner country transfer and not a gesture to a foreign nation.
Nevertheless, all Pandas outside of China have been political pawns for the Chinese government including Xin Xin in Mexico.
They are given as a loan. The Wikipedia page about Panda diplomacy someone else linked is quite interesting and explains it all.
They were a limited offer and sold out quickly. IKEA Singapore and Malaysia had them temporarily too.
