My grandfather was one of these Russian POW. He was 15 years old. Conscripted and sent to the front without a choice.

He said, he only survived the camp because he met his uncle there. That’s about all he was willing to talk about it.

In the first war years my greatgrandfather (his father) spent 3 years in prison because he spoke not favorably about the Nazi regime. No trial, no visits, no information. Everything he owned, including his business was expropriated by the Nazis.
He was supposed to be moved to a camp but then was suddenly released without any information and conscripted into the army.

Neither of them had any choice. Mere soldiers, the ones in the trenches, generally didn’t.
People were executed for refusing military service and after that they sent your whole family into a camp for “Sittenhaft” (kin collective punishment).

The SS and SA who were responsible for unbelievable atrocities were only a part of the German military. They were the “elite” units.

I hate this timeline.

She was successful through all her career without weightloss. Now she’s somewhat unrecognisable, which I see a much bigger obstical for her career.

But she is 76 by now, chances are she had some kind of health issues that made her lose weight.

I love Kathy Bates. She could totally pull that off.

On the other hand, I don’t want to associate her forever with Elon Musk. I’d rather have someone I don’t like anyways play him. Your all american scumbag. Maybe Tom Cruise or Kevin Spacey were a suitable choice.

I’m all for vegan and vegetarian alternatives, but … I don’t even know what to say. How bad must your meat cravings be to eat UNmeat ugh.

Seems about right.

Dark.

I didn’t even realise. Thank you for pointing it out, I fixed it.

Do you have any legal responsibilities towards your in-laws in either direction in Japan?
And can your in-laws also divorce you, when your partner- their child dies?

So this is how the end of humany starts. Fungi with robot bodies…

Like this, just more spores then arms and legs…

There was a remake idea floating around the Internet, even with a petition and such, that asked for the first Home Alone to be remade, but to still cast Macauley Macaulay Culkin Culkin as 8 year old Kevin without anyone acknowledging the age discrepancy.

Culkin even chimed in at some point and tweeted that he would be down for it. And honestly? I would definitely watch that.

The archive isn’t completely dead with that yet. There is still a lot of free domain stuff and private uploads on there. A lot of public records too.

And I think you can’t just randomly buy a .org domain, can you? You have to be officially a nonprofit.

I remember for example couchsurfing had to change from a .org to .com when their tax exempt status was rejected by the irs and they went for profit.

Ah, I see you got that all wrong.

Open IA AI uses that content to generate billions in profit on the backs of The People. The Internet Archive just does it for the good of The People.

We can’t have that. “Good for The People” is not how the economy works, pal. We need profit and exploitation for the world to work…

Sam Altman lurking around…

Hp is the evil incarnate in printers.

I didn’t want to say ‘no’ when my dad offered to buy a new printer for me, but boy, do I hate that thing.

It doesn’t do shit if I’m not logged into my hp account and online. And obviously for countless other reasons too many to list here.

Sorry this isn’t helpful, but everything is better then hp.

Isn’t that just a noob?

This word already exist.

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…

I love making lassi, maybe that’s something you can try. There are lots of different types of lassi, different tastes sweet and salty, but also different consistency.

I usually use half yoghurt and half water as the base, which gives you a consistency of buttermilk. But you can add as much or little water (and/or milk) as you prefere. From there you can add fruits or spices you like.

Here is a Plain lassi recipe.

Here are some Indian flavor options. They’re making a thicker lassi, but you can easily adjust the water.
