@_Fassafiso__@Kali_Huguenot@eugyppius1 Not really. Trains on Fridays and Sundays were always packed. That just happens when you sell tickets without a seat reservation. What has changed is that train schedules have become much less reliable and the summers have become warmer.
@Jlockked@Jan__Sommer@NotWoofers You are right though. E.g
TEM locomotives have smallet windows. American EMD engines come with two headlights on top of each other, small window on the side of the front hood, ladder on the other side, and matching overall layout.
@gever1el I mean the whole Gretchen thing is one of the key parts of Goethe's Faust 1? I just hope he doesn't leave his Goth Girl when/if she gets pregnant.
@fbermingham Possibly evacuation from Ukraine did not go as well as evacuation from Iran some weeks ago and now they feel they have to justify themselves.Such as only adding an official post on the embassy website at 17:00,more than 12h into the war.See also the"told you so" early in the text
@bobarmsnovelist@mattyglesias The "fire-blackened" is a bit of a myth. Elbe Sandstone will get black over time if exposed to air and weather. You can see it on pre-war images or also in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
@richmond3000@mattyglesias You seem to be confused about the rifles. And you are ignoring the role of an incompetent army corps commander - who would eventually suggest siding with the Prussians against political opponents of Napoleon III.
@JJ0414831582803@hheimweh@fharris2011@tobiaschneider The explanation might be that things seem worse than at some point in the past. E.g. twenty years ago. This is something that people think they actually *can* compare. It also does not seem like the current or previous local government are interested in actually improving things.
