You had it good. When we were kids, we had to survive a 10 story fall only to work in the coal mine.

Ihr hattet Bäume? Wir mussten damals unsere Bilder in halbtrockenen Schlamm malen, und ich musste mir ein Stöckchen mit 10 anderen Kindern teilen!

Roth hat üblicherweise nichts mit der Farbe zu tun, es gibt hunderte Ortschaften mit "roth" in Namen was sich als dem Wort "roden" ableitet.

What they taught in universities back then essentially revolved around arguing that your opinion sides with the greatest minds of antiquity. It was literally the opposite of advanced, it was retrospective.

We actually have a description from Justin Martyr in his First Apology dating mid-2nd century.

And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and exhorts to the imitation of these good things. Then we all rise together and pray, and, as we before said, when our prayer is ended, bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people assent, saying Amen; and there is a distribution to each, and a participation of that over which thanks have been given, and to those who are absent a portion is sent by the deacons. And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.

You have to mind that back then they didn't try to establish institutions and rigid rituals because they were still expecting Jesus' second coming any minute.

Ich zietiere aus dem Artikel:

Mit dem Begriff Inflationsrate können demnach 44 Prozent der Befragten nichts anfangen; der Begriff beschreibt den durchschnittlichen Anstieg des Preisniveaus innerhalb eines bestimmten Zeitraums.

"Haha, blöde Kinners, wissen net, was das heißt. Inflationsrate ist natürlich die Rate der Inflation, ihr Nullnummern!"

Der Artikel meint auch bloß die Fähigkeit Fremdworte-Vokabeln übersetzen können.

Ja, und Boomer und Gen-X-er können nichtmal vegane Rezepte googeln ohne dabei in rechte Verschwörungstheorien abzurutschen.

Not quite a coincidence. Churches are sturdy buildings, especially the lofty gothic construction protects against the shock waves of air pressure. They are not right next to other buildings so they usually don't catch spreading fires. They are also the first building that gets saved by religious inhabitants, the Cathedral had its own firewatch. Plus, they were prepared against damage, the windows were deconstructed and stored with all movable stuff, all the immobile sensetive things was boxed in and protected by additional walls and sandbags.

The Dom was actually hit a bunch. Several air mines and incendiary bombs hit the roof, vaultings crashed down, a pillar of the north tower was blown away.

Usually bombing campaigns were directed at military targets, infrastructure, supply depos, equipment depos, radar stations and whatnot.

Unless allies want to set fire to inner cities where people live to hinder german workers from construction war material.

That practically everyone in WW2 targeted civilians with bombings is a fact that is not up for dispute.

Mascot exhibition gives 9 power and 7 toughness for 7 cmc basically tacked onto learn cards as an option. This is 10/10 for 7 but you have to put it in your deck and spend a card draw on it.
